Specific Hazards: May emit toxic smoke containing carbon oxides under intense fire; combusts at high temperatures
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear full protective gear, including self-contained breathing apparatus
Special Procedures: Cool fire-exposed containers, prevent runoff from reaching drains or waterways
Personal Precautions: Equip with gloves, safety goggles, and lab coat, use suitable chemical-resistant footwear
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into sewers and local waterways, restrict spread using absorbent material
Methods for Cleaning Up: Absorb with inert material such as sand or diatomaceous earth, collect and place in appropriate waste disposal container, ventilate area thoroughly, clean contaminated surfaces with soap and water
Disposal of Cleanup Materials: Contaminated materials handled as chemical waste, disposed of in accordance with regional regulations
Handling: Use in well-ventilated setting, minimize contact with skin and eyes, avoid inhalation of mist or vapors, transfer materials using appropriate tools and containment
Storage: Store in tightly sealed original containers, keep in cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, avoid exposure to direct sunlight and heat sources, segregate from strong acids and oxidizing materials
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizers, strong acids, base-sensitive materials
Special Advice: Keep container tightly closed when not in use, label all secondary containers
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established exposure limits in local occupational safety databases
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, maintain negative air pressure indoors, monitor atmospheric levels for vapors
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or equivalent), safety goggles, laboratory coat, respiratory protection if airborne exposure risk is significant (approved cartridge respirator)
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after handling, remove and launder contaminated clothing before reuse, do not eat or drink near the handling area

Hazardous Decomposition Products: Forms carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and possibly other toxic gases when burned
Polymerization: Does not undergo hazardous polymerization
Likely Routes of Exposure: Skin, eyes, ingestion, inhalation
Acute Toxicity: LD50 (oral, rat): >2000 mg/kg; low toxicity estimate for single exposure
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Possible mild irritation on direct contact, may cause sensitization with repeated exposure
Eye Damage/Irritation: Causes significant eye irritation, redness, watering
Respiratory Sensitization: Not expected, but aerosols and vapors can irritate mucous membranes
Long-Term Effects: May sensitize skin with repeated exposure, no evidence of carcinogenicity or reproductive toxicity in available studies
Other Information: Avoid long-term inhalation or large-scale ingestion; always practice safe handling even for low-toxicity materials
Toxicity to Aquatic Life: Data limited, not highly toxic in typical accidental releases, large spills can disrupt aquatic environments
Persistence and Degradability: Expected to be biodegradable in soil and water, breaks down into non-toxic components over time
Bioaccumulation: Low potential based on estimated partition coefficient
Mobility in Soil: Moderate mobility, may leach in significant quantities during major spills
Other Adverse Effects: No evidence of ozone depletion or bio-toxic breakdown products
Waste Treatment Methods: Dispose of by incineration or through a properly permitted hazardous waste disposal contractor
