Specific Hazards: May produce toxic and irritating fumes including carbon oxides, hydrogen chloride, and phosgene on combustion
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Advice for Firefighters: Move containers from fire area if without risk; stay upwind; use water to cool exposed containers
Flash Point: Data not readily available; treat as combustible
Hazardous Combustion Products: Possible formation of corrosive gases and vapors
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unprotected personnel; avoid dust generation; use suitable personal protective equipment including gloves, safety goggles, and disposable coveralls
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, sewers, or waterways; contain spill using sand or inert absorbent material
Containment Procedures: Cover spill with inert material; stop leak if safe to do so; avoid dispersal of dust
Cleanup Methods: Collect using non-sparking tools; place in labeled, closed containers for proper disposal according to local regulations
Decontamination: Ventilate area; wash residue with plenty of water; dispose wash water safely
Handling: Wear proper protective equipment to avoid exposure; use only in well-ventilated spaces; avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing; wash thoroughly after working with product; contain dust with engineering controls
Storage: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated place out of direct sunlight; keep containers tightly closed; isolate from incompatible substances including strong oxidizers and strong acids
Storage Containers: Use chemically resistant sealed containers clearly labeled with product identification; avoid prolonged storage to reduce risk of degradation
Conditions to Avoid: High temperatures, moisture, and direct light can reduce stability; separate from food or feedstuffs
Exposure Limits: No ACGIH, NIOSH, or OSHA limits established; treat as dust with general nuisance dust limits
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation; maintain dilution ventilation in handling and storage areas to keep airborne concentrations below recommended exposure limits
Personal Protective Equipment: Wear chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile, neoprene); use splash-proof goggles or safety glasses; don lab coat or disposable coveralls; wear particulate respirator if handling powder
Hygiene Measures: Do not eat, drink, or smoke when handling; wash hands and face after working with product; launder contaminated clothing before reuse

Partition Coefficient (log Kow): Not available
Autoignition Temperature: Not available
Decomposition Temperature: Not available
Viscosity: Not measured
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal laboratory and storage conditions
Reactivity: Unlikely to react dangerously in normal use; avoid contact with strong oxidizers and acids
Conditions to Avoid: Exposure to moisture, high heat, and direct sunlight can prompt decomposition
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, bases, reducing agents
Hazardous Decomposition Products: May produce toxic gases such as hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide
Polymerization: Not expected under normal handling and storage
Likely Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, ingestion, skin and eye contact
Acute Toxicity: Oral LD50 (rat) estimated above 500 mg/kg; causes mild to moderate irritation on skin and eyes based on chemical structure
Chronic Toxicity: Data not available; no evidence of carcinogenicity or mutagenicity in related analogs
Symptoms: Skin redness and itching, eye watering and irritation, coughing on inhalation, gastrointestinal upset on ingestion
Sensitization: Not expected, though repeated exposure should be avoided
Other Effects: Prolonged or repeated contact may intensify irritation; dust may cause mechanical irritation to eyes and upper respiratory tract
Aquatic Toxicity: No quantitative data available; parent compound may pose moderate aquatic hazard due to persistence and low water solubility
Persistence and Degradability: Degrades slowly in the environment; not readily biodegradable under standard test conditions
Bioaccumulative Potential: Likely to partition into organic phases; moderate to high bioaccumulation potential based on chemical structure
Soil Mobility: Expected to have low mobility in soil; binds to organic matter
Other Adverse Effects: Large spills may have localized negative impacts on aquatic life and soil organisms; effects considered low for small laboratory quantities
Disposal Methods: Collect solid waste in tightly sealed containers; label as hazardous chemical waste; use licensed chemical waste disposal contractor; avoid incinerating large quantities unless equipped with exhaust scrubbing
Container Disposal: Triple rinse containers, remove labels, and puncture to prevent reuse; treat rinsate as chemical waste
Environmental Precautions: Do not dispose into municipal sewers, waterways, or open ground; comply with all federal, state, and local environmental regulations
Hazardous Waste Classification: Consult applicable local codes; likely regulated as hazardous chemical waste due to irritant and toxic properties
