Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, support breathing as needed, seek medical advice if symptoms such as cough, headache, or shortness of breath develop
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, rinse area with soap and plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, do not delay medical care for extensive exposures, cover affected area loosely
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes, use fingers to keep eyelids apart, remove contact lenses if present, immediate medical evaluation advised
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel, provide water if conscious, bring chemical container to show medical responders
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical powder, foam, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Media: Avoid high-pressure water jets on chemical fires
Specific Hazards: Hydrogen chloride or carbon monoxide possible in thermal decomposition; avoid exposure to combustion vapors
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Full firefighter turnout gear, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), chemical-resistant gloves
Further Advice: Cool exposed containers with water spray, isolate area, avoid inhaling smoke or fumes, prepare for evacuation if fire impacts storage
Personal Precautions: Prevent dust formation, wear chemical splash goggles and nitrile gloves, ventilate enclosed areas
Environmental Precautions: Prevent release to surface water, soil, or drains by containing spill with inert absorbent
Cleanup Methods: Use non-combustible absorbent like vermiculite, scoop up material, seal in labeled chemical waste containers, decontaminate area with detergent solution
Disposal: Local, federal regulations guide disposal; contact authorized waste disposal service
Handling: Use chemical fume hood, avoid contact with skin or eyes, minimize dust generation, wash hands after use
Storage: Keep container tightly sealed, store in cool dry location, avoid direct sunlight, segregate from incompatible oxidizers or acids
Conditions to Avoid: Heat, moisture, strong acids and oxidizers, open flames
Incompatibilities: Strong acids, strong oxidizing agents, bases
Engineering Controls: Chemical fume hood, local exhaust, avoid confined space accumulation
Personal Protective Equipment: Protective gloves (nitrile, neoprene), chemical safety goggles or face shield, lab coat or apron, closed-toe shoes
Respiratory Protection: NIOSH-approved dust mask if airborne powder present
Hygiene: Remove contaminated clothing, do not eat/drink/smoke during use, routine hand washing
Appearance: White crystalline powder
Odor: Mild, amine-like
Odor Threshold: No data available
pH: 4–6 (water solution)
Melting Point: 175–180 °C
Boiling Point: Decomposes prior to boiling
Solubility: Freely soluble in water, partially soluble in ethanol

Density: Approximately 1.0 g/cm3
Partition Coefficient: Not determined
Flash Point: Not applicable (solid, non-flammable at ambient)
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions
Hazardous Reactions: May react exothermically with strong oxidizers or acids
Decomposition Products: Thermal decomposition releases toxic gases, including hydrogen chloride and nitrogen oxides
Conditions to Avoid: Exposure to heat, open flame, moisture
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, acids, bases
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, ingestion, skin and eye contact
Acute Toxicity: LD50 (oral, rat): data not widely published, estimated < 2000 mg/kg
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Documented irritation with repeated or prolonged contact
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: Causes moderate to severe eye irritation
Chronic Effects: Not classified as carcinogen, mutagen, or reproductive toxin
Sensitization: Potential for allergic skin response not well established
Additional Data: No reports on long-term human exposure; animal studies suggest manageable toxicity at sub-gram doses
Ecotoxicity: No measured data available for aquatic species; related compounds toxic at high concentrations
Persistence and Degradability: Expected to be moderately biodegradable in soil and water based on structure-class analogy
Bioaccumulative Potential: Not expected to bioaccumulate significantly due to high water solubility
Mobility in Soil: Mobile; risk of leaching to groundwater if large spills occur
Other Adverse Effects: No evidence of ozone depletion or long-term ecosystem damage
Waste Disposal: Collect as hazardous chemical waste, store in tightly closed labeled containers
Disposal Methods: Incinerate at licensed facility or dispose in accordance with local, national regulations
Containers: Triple rinse before discarding; avoid discharges to environment
