Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray, or foam for fires involving this substance
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Direct high-pressure water jets may scatter material
Hazards from Combustion: Produces toxic fumes like carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen fluoride, possible corrosive vapors
Special Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Protective Actions: Move containers from the area if safe, cool with water spray from a distance to prevent pressure build-up

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Evacuate non-essential personnel, avoid dust formation, ventilate confined areas, wear splash-proof goggles, gloves, lab coat or coveralls, and approved respirator
Environmental Precautions: Prevent material from entering drains, waterways, or soil
Clean-up Methods: Sweep or shovel up into suitable disposal containers, decontaminate area with appropriate cleaning agents, incinerate or treat as hazardous waste under local regulations
Decontamination: Rinse spill area thoroughly, monitor for residue, dispose of absorbent properly

Handling and Storage

Safe Handling: Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing, work in a certified fume hood, minimize dust generation, keep away from food and beverages
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed, labeled container in a cool, dry place, away from incompatible substances such as strong acids, bases, oxidizing or reducing agents
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizers, reducing agents, reactive metals
Procedures: Lock storage locations, limit access to authorized personnel, keep inventory records for regulatory compliance

Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust or general laboratory ventilation, install eyewash stations and safety showers
Exposure Limits: Supplier or jurisdictional occupational exposure limits not established, use the lowest feasible exposure
Eye Protection: Safety goggles, face shields suggested in high exposure phases

Toxicological Information

Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin absorption, ingestion, eye contact
Acute Toxicity: Harmful in contact with skin or if swallowed, may cause serious damage to health
Chronic Effects: Potential carcinogen, repeat exposure may affect bone marrow, endocrine system, nervous and reproductive system
Skin/Eye Contact: Causes moderate-to-severe irritation
Sensitization: Repeated exposure may cause allergic reactions
Mutagenicity and Carcinogenicity: Structure-based prediction suggests possible genotoxic and carcinogenic risks
Reproductive Toxicity: Related compounds linked to reproductive toxicity, more evidence needed

Ecological Information

Aquatic Toxicity: Harmful to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects
Persistence/Degradability: Not readily biodegradable, persistence expected in the environment
Bioaccumulative Potential: Could accumulate in aquatic life tissues due to poor solubility in water
Mobility in soil: Tends to bind, low leaching expected; significant events may impact surface water
Other adverse effects: Potential risk to broader ecosystem if spilled in large quantities, stick to environmental monitoring protocols during use and disposal

Disposal Considerations

Disposal Methods: Dispose of as hazardous chemical and pharmaceutical waste
Incineration: Preferred method with flue gas scrubbing
Do not: Release to environment, flush into sewer, mix with normal commercial or household waste
RCRA Status: May qualify as hazardous waste; comply with local, state, and federal regulations
Container Disposal: Triple rinse before disposing; puncture, crush, or incinerate containers following site practice
