Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if present and easy to do so, continue rinsing, seek urgent medical care for persistent discomfort or vision changes
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, drink water to dilute if fully conscious, immediately contact poison control center or physician
Important Symptoms: Burning sensation, rash, irritation of eyes, difficulty in breathing, abdominal pain or vomiting if swallowed
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, or alcohol-resistant foam. Water spray may cool containers but avoid direct stream onto burning product
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Never use high pressure water jet due to risk of spreading contamination
Specific Hazards: Releases toxic fumes of chlorine, chromium oxides, and possibly hydrofluoric acid on high-temperature decomposition
Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, full protective clothing
Fire-Fight Procedures: Avoid run-off water entering drains or watercourses as toxic contamination may spread
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel from area, provide adequate ventilation, avoid skin and eye contact, use proper personal protective equipment such as gloves and goggles
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from entering drains or waterways, contain spill with inert absorbent (vermiculite, sand), avoid release to soil or environment
Clean-up Methods: Scoop up spilled material using non-sparking tools, place in approved non-metal waste container, seal and label for hazardous waste disposal
Decontamination Recommendations: Wash surfaces with mild detergent solution, rinse thoroughly, ventilate affected area
Handling: Handle in closed system or well-ventilated area, use non-sparking tools, avoid breathing dust or vapors, wear protective clothing including gloves, goggles, and (if needed) a respirator, wash hands thoroughly before eating, drinking, or smoking
Storage: Store in tightly closed, non-metal containers in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible substances like acids, strong oxidizers, or reducing agents, label storage clearly, keep separate from food and drink
Additional Guidance: Rotate stock to use oldest material first; limit large quantity storage; keep away from heat, flame, and sunlight
Occupational Exposure Limits: Chromium VI compounds (as Cr): OSHA PEL 0.005 mg/m³; ACGIH TLV 0.05 mg/m³ (for some chromium forms)
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation or process enclosure to minimize exposure; maintain eyewash and safety shower in work area
Respiratory Protection: Use particulate respirator with appropriate filter if airborne concentrations exceed limits; for emergencies, use self-contained breathing apparatus
Skin Protection: Wear chemically resistant gloves (nitrile, neoprene), long-sleeved protective clothing
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles; consider face shield in higher-risk situations
Hygiene Measures: No eating or drinking in work area; wash hands before breaks and at end of shift
Appearance: Pale yellow-green powder or fine crystals

Odor Threshold: Not established
pH (aqueous solution): Slightly acidic (approximate 5)
Melting Point: Decomposition before melting; expected > 120°C
Boiling Point: Not applicable (decomposes)
Flash Point: Not flammable (complex may release flammable vapors upon heating – especially isopropanol component)

Solubility: Limited in water, more soluble in polar or partially fluorinated organic solvents
Vapor Pressure: Negligible at room temperature
Density: Estimated 1.7 - 2.2 g/cm³
Partition Coefficient (Log Kow): Data not available – expected high, due to perfluoroalkyl content

Viscosity: Not applicable (solid)
Other Information: Stable under most ambient conditions provided it remains cool and dry
Chemical Stability: Stable in normal storage and handling conditions, not prone to hazardous polymerization
Reactivity: Reacts with strong acids, bases, and oxidizers
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, sparks, flames, direct sunlight, moisture ingress
Incompatible Materials: Acid chlorides, strong acids, strong oxidizers, reducers, alkali metals
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Toxic fumes containing hydrochloric acid, chromium oxides, sulfonic vapors, possible trifluoroacetic and hydrofluoric acid
Acute Toxicity: Harmful if swallowed (LD50 oral rat – estimate > 300 mg/kg), irritating to skin and eyes, may cause upper respiratory tract irritation if inhaled as dust
Chronic Toxicity: Possible kidney and liver effects based on chromium content; some chromium compounds known carcinogens (IARC Group 1)
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Moderate to severe irritation, especially with repeated exposure
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: Irritating and potentially damaging to eyes with direct exposure
Respiratory Sensitization: May cause symptoms of asthma-like reaction in sensitive individuals
Other Information: Not enough long-term animal data exist for this precise compound; perfluorinated fragments may persist in body and cause disruption in chronic settings
Aquatic Toxicity: Highly toxic to aquatic organisms (acute and chronic effects possible), prevents normal ecosystem function on release to water bodies
Persistence and Degradability: Perfluoroalkyl group resists natural degradation, classified as persistent organic pollutant
Bioaccumulative Potential: High due to perfluoroalkyl content; chromium also accumulates in food chain
Mobility in Soil: Moderate to high, potential leaching into groundwater
Other Adverse Effects: Possible long-term toxicity to aquatic life, disrupts reproduction and growth
