Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly, do not induce vomiting, immediate medical attention necessary
Most Important Symptoms: Mucous membrane irritation, headache, nausea, dermatitis possible after prolonged exposure
Note to Physician: Treat symptomatically, monitor for respiratory distress
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, foam; water spray for cooling containers
Unsuitable Media: Avoid direct water jet on liquid
Specific Hazards: Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along the ground to an ignition source; combustion produces toxic gases such as nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide
Protective Equipment: Firefighters must use self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing
Other Information: Move containers from fire area if safe; cool tanks with water from a distance
Personal Precautions: Use chemical-resistant gloves, lab coat, safety goggles, and face shield if splashing possible
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage from entering drains, sewers, or open water, absorb with inert material such as sand
Cleanup Methods: Ventilate area, mop up with absorbent material, dispose in accordance with local regulations
Emergency Procedures: Evacuate unprotected personnel, isolate area with tape or barriers, restrict access until cleanup complete
Handling: Work in a well-ventilated space or under a chemical fume hood, keep away from sources of ignition, avoid inhalation and direct skin or eye contact
Storage: Keep container tightly sealed in a cool dry area, clearly labeled, away from incompatible substances like strong acids or oxidizers
Special Requirements: Store in original container or compatible chemical-resistant bottles, secondary containment recommended
Incompatible Materials: Avoid strong reducing agents, oxidizing substances, acid chlorides
Other Considerations: Store in a locked area accessible to trained personnel only, check containers regularly for leakage
Exposure Limits: No established OSHA or ACGIH exposure limits; follow general good practice for chemical exposure
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, general laboratory ventilation, or enclosures wherever exposure could occur
Personal Protective Equipment: Disposable nitrile gloves, chemical splash goggles, laboratory coat, closed-toe shoes
Respiratory Protection: Use NIOSH-approved respirator if ventilation inadequate or if exposure limits likely exceeded
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before eating, drinking, or smoking; never take contaminated clothing or equipment home
Appearance: Clear to light yellow liquid
Odor: Mild amine-like

Boiling Point: Approximately 98-101°C at 10 mmHg
Melting Point: Not well defined, remains liquid under standard room conditions
Flash Point: About 70°C (varies based on purity, confirm by batch)
Solubility: Miscible with water and organic solvents
Vapor Pressure: Moderate at room temperature
Density: Approximately 0.95 g/cm3 at 20°C
Viscosity: Low
Partition Coefficient: Moderate, estimated log Pow 0.5-1.5
Auto-Ignition Temperature: Not precisely determined
Decomposition Temperature: Begins above 150°C
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions, but decomposes on heating
Reactivity: Can react with strong oxidizers, acids, acid chlorides forming hazardous products
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, possibly ammonia
Polymerization: Not expected under normal conditions
Other Conditions to Avoid: Direct sunlight, elevated temperatures, open flames, static discharge
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, bases, oxidizing agents
Likely Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, dermal, ingestion, eye contact
Acutely Toxic Effects: Moderate oral toxicity (exact LD50 not well defined, but likely between 100-300 mg/kg in rodents); irritation to respiratory tract
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Mild to moderate upon direct contact
Eye Damage/Irritation: Can cause redness, watering, pain
Chronic Effects: Repeated exposure may produce dermatitis, possible effects on liver or kidneys as with similar aliphatic amines
Carcinogenicity/Mutagenicity: No reliable long-term studies specific to this compound; related compounds not known to cause cancer
Sensitization: Potential for mild sensitization upon frequent handling
Other Data: Not considered to be acutely neurotoxic, though high doses affect coordination
Ecotoxicity: Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects (based on similar amines); low concentrations may disrupt microorganisms in water
Persistence and Degradability: Expected to biodegrade in soil and water under favorable conditions, but may persist when released in quantity
Bioaccumulation: Low predicted, but insufficient direct data
Mobility in Soil: High due to water solubility; risk of groundwater contamination
Other Adverse Effects: Avoid release to environment, monitor local regulations for discharge limits
Waste Disposal Methods: Burn in chemical incinerator equipped with afterburner and scrubber; landfill possible if permitted by local, regional, national regulations
Container Disposal: Triple rinse empty containers before recycling or disposal, puncture to prevent reuse
Special Disposal Precautions: Do not dispose with household waste; do not allow contamination of water sources
