Impurities: Trace residual solvents (e.g., methanol, ethanol under 0.5%), unreacted precursors below 0.3%, moisture content under 1%
Additives: No known stabilizers or preservatives added

First Aid Measures

Eye Contact: Rinse carefully under running water for at least fifteen minutes, lifting eyelids; urgent medical attention if irritation stays
Skin Contact: Take off affected clothing, rinse with copious water and soap, seek medical advice if symptoms continue or if there's visible reaction
Inhalation: Relocate to open area; if coughing, wheezing, or shortness of breath appear, seek immediate medical help, keep at rest until help arrives
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink water; avoid vomiting unless under medical advice, call poison center or physician if feeling unwell
Note to Physician: Symptomatic treatment, monitor for allergic reaction or respiratory distress especially for high-risk patients
Special Precautions: Show medical staff this sheet for guidance on potential chemical exposures

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, CO2, alcohol-resistant foam, water spray (avoid jet, use spray/mist form)
Unsuitable Media: Direct water jet may spread solid particulates
Hazards from Combustion: Burning releases carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, formaldehyde, organic acids; smoke may irritate mucous membranes
Protective Equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus, flame-resistant suit, nitrile gloves; stay upwind, use personal protective equipment
Advice for Firefighters: Evacuate area, remove unprotected people, prevent contamination of drains and waterways

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Ventilate site, avoid dust/fume inhalation, wear lab coat, nitrile or latex gloves, splash goggles, respirator if large quantities spill
Environmental Precautions: Keep product out of drains, waterways, and soil; use bunds if possible for larger spills
Containment and Clean up: Use inert absorbent (sand, vermiculite); scoop into labeled containers for disposal; avoid dry sweeping, moisten for minimal dust
Decontamination: Rinse residue from surfaces with water and detergent; ensure thorough cleaning before reuse

Handling and Storage

Safe Handling: Use designated chemical fume hood, avoid eating or drinking in lab; minimize dust formation, wash hands thoroughly after handling
Storage: Store in tightly closed container, dry, cool, and well-ventilated place; avoid sunlight, heat sources, strong acids or oxidizing agents
Separation: Do not store near intense light, moisture, peroxides, reducing agents, alkali metals
Special Requirements: Equip area with spill/release response gear, maintain up-to-date MSDS on hand

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limits set; as a precaution, handle with standard good laboratory practice
Engineering Controls: Chemical fume hood, eye wash station, safety shower, proper local exhaust ventilation
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Laboratory coat, nitrile gloves, tight-fitting chemical splash goggles, dust mask or respirator (EN 149 FFP2 recommended for powder forms), closed-toed shoes
Hygiene: Remove contaminated clothes before leaving workspace, dispose or wash protective gear after use

Physical and Chemical Properties

Appearance: Off-white crystalline solid, may form fine powder or compact lumps
Odor: Mild, faint organic scent, nearly odorless
pH (10% solution): 4.5–6.5
Melting Point: Approximately 180–185°C (decomposes at higher temperatures)
Boiling Point: Decomposes before boiling
Flash Point: Not applicable (solid form)
Solubility: Freely soluble in water, partly soluble in ethanol, insoluble in most organic solvents
Vapor Pressure: Negligible at ambient conditions
Density: About 1.4 g/cm³ at 20°C
Partition Coefficient (log Pow): Not determined
Other Data: Hygroscopic tendencies, handle in dry conditions for purity maintenance

Stability and Reactivity

Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended handling and storage conditions; moisture and air exposure promote slow degradation
Reactive Conditions: Heat, light, acidic or basic environments may promote decomposition
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizers, mineral acids, alkali metals, reducing agents
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, acrolein, nitrogen oxides, tarry residues may form at temperatures above 190°C
Polymerization: Not known to undergo hazardous polymerization

Toxicological Information

Likely Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin/eye contact, accidental ingestion
Acute Toxicity: No animal or human LD50 available; structurally related analogs have moderate oral toxicity (estimated LD50>2000 mg/kg in rats)
Skin and Eye Irritation: Potential for mild reversible irritation; not a sensitizer based on in vitro skin models
Respiratory Sensitization: Prolonged or excessive inhalation may provoke coughing, but lasting effects are unlikely under normal use
Carcinogenicity: Not listed by IARC, NTP, or OSHA
Reproductive Toxicity: No available animal data; general laboratory precautions minimize potential concerns
Other Effects: Repeated high exposures may affect liver/kidneys; not expected at permitted laboratory levels
Medical Observation: Allergy-prone staff or those with respiratory sensitivities monitor for symptoms after exposure

Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity: No experimental data for aquatic toxicity; structurally comparable compounds show low acute toxicity in fish and invertebrates
Mobility in Soil: Material may leach slowly in water-saturated soil, but binds to organic matter
Persistence and Degradability: Expected to biodegrade gradually; hydrolysis possible, but slow under most environmental conditions
Bioaccumulation: Low potential due to water solubility and lack of known lipophilic functional groups
Other Harmful Effects: Minimize bulk discharge to surface waters or sewage systems; industry best practices suggest effluent monitoring where feasible

Disposal Considerations

Method of Disposal: Collect in sealed containers labeled for organic solids; incinerate at licensed facility, follow local hazardous waste laws
Waste Handling: Avoid direct discharge into drains or soils; combine small residues with inert absorbents for managed disposal
Container Cleaning: Triple rinse empty bottles with water, collect rinsate for compatible waste handling
Local Regulations: Disposal methods coordinated with local environmental agency or chemical waste unit; documentation for all disposals
