Notes to Physician: Treat symptoms, support vital functions, monitor for signs of delayed respiratory irritation or metabolic effects
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, water spray for larger fires
Specific Hazards: Combustion releases toxic fumes including oxides of carbon, nitrogen, and other irritants, chemical may intensify fire
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Full protective gear, self-contained breathing apparatus
Special Precautions: Prevent runoff from entering drains or water supplies, cool containers in vicinity with water spray, evacuate surrounding area if large quantities involved
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel, avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing, ensure adequate ventilation, wear certified respirator and gloves
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from entering sewers, waterways, or soil
Containment Methods: Use inert absorbent (sand, vermiculite), collect spilled material in suitable container
Cleanup Procedures: Clean spill site thoroughly with detergent and water, ventilate area, dispose of residue as hazardous waste, decontaminate protective equipment after use
Handling: Work in chemical fume hood or ventilated area, wear appropriate personal protective equipment, avoid generating dust, handle with care to minimize exposure, keep containers tightly closed between uses
Storage: Store in a cool, dry well-ventilated space, ensure containers are sealed and clearly labeled, segregate from food, incompatible substances, oxidizing agents or acids, secure against unauthorized access or accidental damage
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established limit values, minimize exposure through engineering controls
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, safety showers and eye wash stations available, fume hood for open handling
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile recommended), lab coat, safety goggles, certified respirator for dust/vapor
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before breaks, after handling, remove contaminated clothing before leaving work area
Appearance: White to off-white crystalline powder
Odor: Faint aromatic or amine odor
Melting Point: Approximately 120-140°C (subject to impurities)
Boiling Point: Data not available for salt form
Vapor Pressure: Negligible at room temperature
Solubility: Soluble in water, alcohol; limited in non-polar solvents
pH: Slightly acidic in aqueous solution (dependent on concentration)
Flash Point: Not highly flammable, data variable
Density: Approximately 1.2-1.3 g/cm3 at 20°C
Chemical Stability: Stable when stored under recommended conditions, sensitive to moisture over time
Reactivity: Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents, acids, bases
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, potentially toxic fumes if burned
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, open flames, moisture, incompatible chemicals
Acute Toxicity: Oral-rat LD50 believed to be between 150-600 mg/kg (based on component data)
Skin/Eye Irritation: Product likely causes irritation, repeated contact escalates severity
Respiratory Sensitization: Inhalation could trigger irritation, coughing, discomfort, especially in sensitive individuals
Chronic Effects: No definitive long-term hazard reported; possibility of cumulative exposure leading to allergic or respiratory symptoms
Carcinogenicity/Mutagenicity/Reproductive Toxicity: No listings by NTP, IARC, or OSHA, limited data available
Other Effects: Central nervous system depression possible with large exposure, metabolic acidosis if absorbed in significant quantity
Ecotoxicity: Hazardous to aquatic organisms at sufficient concentrations, avoid discharge to environment
Persistence and Degradability: Partially biodegradable but breakdown products may remain longer in environment
Bioaccumulative Potential: Expected to have limited bioaccumulation (based on solubility and molecular weight)
Mobility in Soil: Water solubility facilitates movement into soil, risk to groundwater if large spill occurs
Other Adverse Effects: Monitor for chemical persistence, inform authorities in case of substantial environmental release
Waste Disposal Methods: Dispose as hazardous chemical waste per local, state, national regulations, never discard in general garbage, neutralize after consulting waste management
Container Disposal: Decontaminate and triple rinse empty vessels, follow hazardous waste labeling requirements, consult licensed contractor for incineration or chemical landfill
RCRA Status: Not specifically listed, but handle as hazardous due to chemical toxicity
Precautions: Handle waste with gloves and eye protection, avoid exposure during transfer and containment
