Suitable Extinguishing Media: Alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water mist
Special Hazards: Produces toxic gases (hydrogen chloride, carbon oxides) when burning
Protective Equipment: Wear full protective gear, self-contained breathing apparatus
Fire-Fighting Procedures: Avoid inhalation of combustion products, use water spray to cool containers, isolate area, prevent run-off contamination
Unusual Hazards: Vapors may travel along surfaces to distant ignition sources and flash back
Explosion Data: Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air above flash point
Personal Precautions: Evacuate area, use adequate ventilation, avoid breathing vapors, use protective equipment
Environmental Precautions: Contain spill to prevent entry into waterways, drains, or soil
Containment: Absorb with inert material (sand, diatomaceous earth), collect in labeled containers for disposal
Cleanup Procedures: Dispose of contaminated materials as hazardous waste, wash spill site after cleanup
Decontamination: Ventilate area, scrub surfaces with detergent and water
Handling: Avoid contact with skin, eyes, clothing; avoid inhalation of vapors; use only with adequate ventilation; keep away from ignition sources
Storage: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated space; keep container tightly closed; store away from incompatible materials (acids, bases, oxidizing agents); use flame-proof storage facilities for large quantities
Special Considerations: Keep away from food, feed, drinking water; label all containers clearly
Incompatibilities: Avoid storage with strong acids, alkalis, oxidizers
Storage Temperature: Preferably below 25°C; avoid direct sunlight and freezing
Exposure Limits: No national occupational exposure limits established; adopt guideline value of similar esters/alkyl halides
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, chemical fume hood
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), splash-proof goggles, laboratory coat, closed-toe shoes, use respirators if vapor concentration exceeds limits
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before eating, after handling; remove contaminated clothing; keep PPE clean
Environmental Controls: Prevent excessive release; install vapor detectors in storage area

Flammability: Flammable
Vapor Pressure: Estimated 2-5 mmHg at 20 °C
Vapor Density: Heavier than air
Solubility in Water: Low to moderate (hydrolyzes slowly in aqueous media)
Partition Coefficient (log Kow): Not measured directly, likely >1

Conditions to Avoid: Heat, flames, sources of ignition, exposure to moisture
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, alkalis, oxidizing agents, stainless steel with long exposure
Decomposition Products: Hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide
Polymerization: Not expected under normal conditions
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin, eyes, ingestion
Acute Toxicity: Estimated LD50 (oral, rat) >2000 mg/kg; skin absorption moderately irritant
Chronic Toxicity: Prolonged exposure may cause dermatitis, liver or kidney effects
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Can cause redness, dryness, mild burns with prolonged exposure
Eye Damage/Irritation: Causes stinging, redness, watering
Inhalation Effects: Headache, drowsiness, coughing; large exposure may depress central nervous system
Ingestion Effects: May irritate mouth, throat, causing nausea or vomiting
Carcinogenicity: No data on this substance; not listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA
Mutagenicity: Data unavailable on mutagenic potential in laboratory tests
Other Information: Mixture with other solvents may increase toxicity
Ecotoxicity: Moderate toxicity to aquatic organisms; LC50, fish: estimated at 10–50 mg/L
Persistence and Degradability: Biodegradable (similar to short-chain esters); may hydrolyze slowly in water
Bioaccumulative Potential: Low to moderate, based on expected partition coefficient
Mobility in Soil: Moderate; possible leaching to groundwater
Other Adverse Effects: Potential to produce acidic byproducts in aquatic environments
Preventative Measures: Avoid release to soil, waterways, sewers
Waste Treatment Methods: Dispose of as hazardous waste in compliance with local, regional, national regulations
