| Color/Form | OILY LIQUID |
| Odor | ACRID ODOR |
| Melting Point | 0 °C |
| Boiling Point | 306 °F at 760 mmHg (decomposes) (USCG, 1999) |
| Flash Point | 227 °F Vigorous decomposition occurs at these temperatures; thus these values are anomalous due to the effect of the decomp. products (benzyl chloride and CO2). (USCG, 1999) |
