Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Self-contained breathing apparatus, full protective gear
Other Advice: Evacuate area, avoid inhalation of combustion vapors, prevent runoff from entering water systems
Personal Precautions: Wear gloves, chemical splash goggles, dust mask or respirator, avoid direct contact
Environmental Precautions: Prevent release into drains, sewers, or waterways, contain spill with absorbent material
Cleanup Methods: Scoop up solid and contaminated material with non-sparking tools, place in closed chemical waste container, ventilate affected area
Emergency Procedures: Restrict unnecessary personnel, report significant release to authorities if entering environment
Safe Handling Practices: Minimize dust formation, avoid inhalation and contact with skin or eyes, use only in fume hood or well-ventilated space
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed original container, cool dry ventilated location, away from incompatible substances such as oxidizers and strong bases
Incompatibilities: Avoid acids, bases, oxidizers, catalytic metals
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before breaks and after work, do not eat or smoke in work area, clean up spills promptly
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established limits (consult local guidelines)
Engineering Controls: Use chemical fume hood or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below recommended safe levels
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, laboratory coat, dust respirator or N95 mask for bulk handling
Skin Protection: Wear impermeable clothing as appropriate
Environmental Controls: Avoid release to the environment, provide spill containment systems, treat all waste before disposal
Appearance: White to off-white crystalline powder
Odor: Faint, non-descript
pH: Acidic (in aqueous solution, around 3-4)
Melting Point: 218-224°C
Boiling Point: Not applicable (decomposes before boiling)
Flash Point: Not flammable
Solubility: Soluble in water, slightly soluble in methanol, negligible in ethers or hexane
Vapor Pressure: Negligible
Relative Density: Not determined
Partition Coefficient: Not available
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended conditions of storage and handling
Conditions to Avoid: Exposure to heat, direct light, moisture, contact with incompatible chemicals
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents, bases, acids, strong reducing agents
Decomposition Products: Thermal decomposition produces hazardous gases including nitrogen oxides, hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide
Hazardous Reactions: No known hazardous polymerization
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin and eye contact, ingestion
Acute Effects: Harmful if swallowed, may cause skin and eye irritation, respiratory tract irritation due to dust
Chronic Effects: No human data on carcinogenicity or long-term toxicity; repeated exposure may aggravate existing respiratory or dermatological conditions
Toxicological Data: No rat LD50 or LC50 values available; chemical similarity suggests moderate oral toxicity
Irritation: Causes moderate to severe irritation to eyes and skin
Sensitization: No data on skin sensitization
Other Effects: Not listed by IARC, NTP, or OSHA as carcinogenic
Ecotoxicity: No specific data for aquatic or terrestrial toxicity, treat as potentially harmful to aquatic organisms due to nitrogen content
Persistence and Degradability: Expected to undergo typical microbial degradation in soil and water, but persist long enough to pose contamination risk
Bioaccumulation: No significant potential predicted, low partition coefficient
Other Adverse Effects: Avoid bulk release to environment, chemical may contribute to eutrophication in large quantities
Mobility in Soil: Likely absorbed by soil particles, soluble in water, risk of groundwater penetration if spilled in quantity
Waste Treatment Methods: Collect as hazardous chemical waste, incinerate in licensed facility if possible
Contaminated Packaging: Empty containers should be rinsed and disposed of as chemical waste
Regulations: Follow local, regional, and national disposal regulations, do not dispose of in general waste or untreated sewage
Other Disposal Advice: Label waste containers clearly, maintain documentation on laboratory or facility chemical disposal records
