Additional Notes: Containers may burst from pressure buildup under fire conditions, water runoff risk for environmental contamination, discarding all soiled materials in accordance with local regulations after firefighting

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Protection: Don chemical splash goggles, gloves, impervious apron, ensure adequate ventilation, evacuate unnecessary personnel
Spill Response: Absorb liquid with inert material like sand or vermiculite, transfer to appropriate waste containers with chemical label
Cleanup Methods: Use non-sparking tools, ventilate area, mop residues with a solution of mild detergent followed by abundant water, avoid combustible absorbents
Environmental Precaution: Prevent spillage from reaching sewers or natural water sources, block drains, consult environmental officer for cleanup protocols
Disposal Guidance: Collected waste classified as hazardous, label accordingly, transport via licensed waste contractor, maintain spill log for tracking and future audits

Handling and Storage

Safe Handling: Perform handling in chemical fume hood or engineered ventilated area, use closed containers, wash hands thoroughly after manipulation, minimize skin and eye contact by disciplined work habits
Storage Requirements: Keep in cool, well-ventilated area, moisture-sensitive packaging, avoid sources of heat and strong oxidizers, segregate from incompatible substances such as acids or strong alkalis
Storage Conditions: Use containers compatible with amines and alcohols, label all containers with date and lot number, keep tightly sealed when not in use
Fire Hazard Precaution: No smoking near storage sites, ground and bond transfer equipment, maintain access to chemical spill kits and eyewash stations
Incompatibilities: Acidic materials, anhydrides, strong oxidizers, reducing agents

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: No established specific limits; follow general exposure values for amine alcohols, often 1–5 ppm for reference
Engineering Controls: Utilize chemical fume hoods, exhaust fans, protective enclosures, ensure continuous air monitoring if working in enclosed environment
Respiratory Protection: Wear approved organic vapor respirators for operations outside of hood or during spill response
Skin Protection: Impervious gloves such as nitrile, long-sleeved lab coats, chemical boots
Eye and Face Protection: Tight-fitting goggles, full-face shield for high-risk procedures, eyewash within 10 meters of work station
Other Protection: Wash facilities at access points, routine laundering of work clothes, spill-ready PPE stored nearby
Exposure Monitoring: Regular personal air monitoring for extended projects, biological sampling at medical surveillance intervals depending on use scenario

Physical and Chemical Properties

Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow, clear liquid, no visible particulates, flows freely at room temperature
Odor: Mild, amine-like with faint alcohol undertone

pH: Approx 11 (typical for secondary amine alcohol), measurable in dilute aqueous solution
Melting Point: - Not determined, remains liquid at standard room temperature
Boiling Point: Estimated around 198–205°C based on molecular structure
Flash Point: Approximately 91°C (closed cup method)
Evaporation Rate: Slow at ambient conditions, faster with air flow
