Hazardous Reactions: May react with strong oxidizers or acids leading to heat generation
Decomposition Products: At high temperatures, can yield carbon oxides, nitrogen-containing gases
Conditions to Avoid: Excess heat, open flames, moisture contact during long-term storage
Likely Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, ingestion, dermal and ocular
Acute Toxicity: Data on related compounds suggest oral LD50 for rats around 1000–2000 mg/kg, indicating moderate toxicity
Skin Irritation: Causes moderate skin irritation in animal studies
Eye Irritation: Causes severe eye irritation in rabbit eye models
Respiratory Effects: Inhalation above recommended exposure limit may lead to irritation of upper respiratory tract
Chronic Effects: No long-term toxicity studies available; by analogy to similar amines, significant systemic effects not expected at low exposure levels
Sensitization: Not known to induce sensitization
Carcinogenicity/Mutagenicity/Reproductive Toxicity: Not classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or reproductive hazard by IARC, NTP or EU CLP
Ecotoxicity: Short-term aquatic toxicity estimated low to moderate with LC50 (fish 96h) likely in the range 10-100 mg/L
Persistence and Degradability: Expected to be readily biodegradable in environmental conditions based on structure
Bioaccumulation Potential: Not expected to bioaccumulate — low log Kow value
