General Advice: Remove source of contamination if safe, attend to breathing and safety of responder
Inhalation: Move to fresh air immediately, keep victim calm, administer oxygen if symptoms develop. Seek medical attention promptly
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, flush skin thoroughly with soap and water; continue rinsing for at least 20 minutes. Medical evaluation is crucial for burns or persistent symptoms
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes continuously with lukewarm water for 15–30 minutes while holding eyelids open and moving eyes in all directions. Do not allow victim to rub eyes. Immediate medical care required
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water, offer water to drink if conscious, never give anything by mouth to an unconscious individual. Promptly obtain medical help
Self-protection: Avoid rescuing in contaminated zones without appropriate PPE (respiratory protection, gloves, chemical-safe goggles)
Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, alcohol-resistant foam. Large fires call for water spray; avoid high-pressure jets
Hazardous Combustion Products: Toxic vapors such as nitrogen oxides, hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide. Dense smoke may reduce visibility and pose respiratory hazards
Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Self-contained breathing apparatus, chemical-resistant suits, full face shield. Remove containers from fire area if safe
Fire/Explosion Hazards: Dust accumulation might create explosive atmospheres, material may decompose violently upon heating above decomposition temperature
Precautions: Evacuate non-essential personnel, ventilate contaminated area
Personal Protection: Respiratory protection rated for chemical fumes, chemical splash goggles, lab coat or coveralls, nitrile or butyl rubber gloves
Clean-up Procedures: Absorb spill with inert material like diatomaceous earth, scoop into waste containers labeled for chemical toxins and corrosives. Damp-wipe surfaces after collection
Environmental Protection: Avoid release to soil, water, or drains. Small spills should be contained, never washed away with water. Notify environmental authorities if large quantities reach sewers or waterways
Decontamination: Use 10% sodium bicarbonate solution for neutralization, followed by thorough washing with copious water
Handling: Avoid direct contact, do not breathe dust, vapors, or spray. Always handle in well-ventilated chemical fume hoods. Use proper PPE without exception
Storage: Store in tightly sealed original containers, clearly labeled, placed in cool, dry, locked chemical cabinets. Isolate from incompatible substances like oxidizing agents and acids
Specific Considerations: Prevent static discharge by grounding equipment, restrict access to trained users. Segregate from food and feed, never store above recommended temperatures to prevent decomposition
Packaging: Chemical-resistant, impact-resistant containers recommended; secondary containment to prevent accidental mixing with other substances
Engineering Controls: Operate only in certified fume hoods with adequate airflow; closed systems for bulk transfers. Properly labeled and maintained safety showers and eyewash stations required in working area
Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limits set by OSHA, NIOSH, or ACGIH as of 2024; treat as highly toxic unless further information becomes available
Personal Protective Equipment: Nitrile gloves, chemical-resistant goggles or face shield, lab coat with long sleeves. For bulk handling, use chemical apron and respiratory protection
Hygiene Standards: No food or drink near work zones, always wash hands and face thoroughly after handling. Change out of contaminated clothing before leaving laboratory
Appearance: White to off-white crystalline powder
Odor: Faintly aromatic, chemical odor
pH (in solution): Acidic, around pH 3–4 in water
Melting Point: 190–205°C
Boiling Point: Decomposes before boiling
Flash Point: Not applicable for solids; decomposition may occur before ignition
Solubility: Soluble in water, alcohols, partially soluble in acetone
Vapor Pressure: Not relevant at room temperature due to non-volatility
Density: 1.18–1.25 g/cm³ (measured)
Partition Coefficient: log Kow unknown; likely low to moderate, making environmental persistence possible if released
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions, sensitive to high temperatures and strong acids or bases
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, open flames, incompatible chemicals (oxidizers, strong acids, alkalis), contact with humid air
Incompatible Materials: Potent oxidizers, reducing agents, acid chlorides, strong bases
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Nitrogen oxides, hydrogen chloride, carbon oxides upon heating or combustion
Reactivity Profile: Vigorous reactions possible with oxidants, may react slowly with air over prolonged storage especially in damp conditions
Acute Toxicity: Highly toxic via ingestion and inhalation, with estimated oral LD50 for rats in the low mg/kg range based on structurally similar compounds. Human exposure likely presents a serious risk of acute poisoning and death if misused
Skin/Eye Irritation: Causes severe burns, corneal damage possible with splashes, rapid onset of pain and inflammation after exposure
Chronic Effects: Long-term or repeated exposures raise risks of irreversible organ damage, sensitization, neurological impairment
Respiratory: Inhalation triggers coughing, throat and lung injury, rapid absorption with potential CNS depression and systemic effects
Carcinogenicity: No reliable animal or human data linking this particular compound to cancer, but lack of evidence does not rule out possible hazard
Mutagenicity/Reproductive Toxicity: Data unavailable; handle using reproductive hazard precautions until validated studies are available
Ecotoxicity: Harmful or toxic to aquatic life at very low concentrations, potential for bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms is unknown but should be considered significant due to molecular structure
Persistence and Degradability: Likely persistent in aquatic and terrestrial environments, degradation under natural conditions may be slow, breaking down to potentially harmful byproducts
Mobility in Soil: Moderately mobile, especially if spilled in aqueous solutions. Will adsorb to organic-rich soils but may migrate to groundwater over time
Other Adverse Effects: No information available on ozone depletion potential, long-range transport, or other global environmental impacts. Minimize release, routine tests recommended after incidents
Methods of Disposal: Collect in sealed, clearly labeled chemical waste containers for incineration at licensed hazardous waste treatment facilities. Discharge to sewage, surface, or ground water is strictly prohibited
Contaminated Packaging: Rinse only if facilities for handling contaminated rinsate exist. Else, dispose as hazardous waste
Disposal Considerations: Do not attempt neutralization outside of properly equipped chemical facilities. Consult local, regional, and national regulations for compliant disposal
