Exposure limits: Flammable liquid; flash point (closed cup) 36°C (97°F) (NFPA 1986), 39°C (102°F) (Merck 1996), 35.5°C (96°F) (Meyer 1989); vapor pressure 8 torr at 20°C (68°F); vapor density 4.1 (air=1); the vapor is heavier than air and may travel a considerable distance to a nearby ignition source and flash back; autoignition temperature 425°C (797°F); fire- extinguishing agent: dry chemical, foam, or CO2; use a water spray to keep fire- exposed containers cool and to disperse the vapors。
Cumene forms explosive mixtures in the air within the range 0.9–6.5% by volume in air. Cumene may form peroxide on prolonged exposure to air. It should be tested for peroxides before it is subjected to distillation or evaporation。.

Dielectric constant: 2.4（20℃）

Stability:: Stable, but may form peroxides in storage if in contact with the air. Test for the presence of peroxides before heating or distilling. Combustible. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents.

Use

Narcotic action with long-lasting effects; depressant to central nervous system. Acute (short-term) inhalation exposure to cumene may cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, slight incoordination, and unconsciousness in humans. Cumene has a potent central nervous system (CNS) depressant action characterized by a slow induction period and long duration of narcotic effects in animals. Cumene is a skin and eye irritant. No information is available on the chronic (long-term), reproductive, developmental, or carcinogenic effects of cumene in humans. Animal studies have reported increased liver, kidney, and adrenal weights from inhalation exposure to cumene. EPA has classified cumene as a Group D, not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity.
