Inhalation: Remove affected person to fresh air, keep at rest, provide oxygen if breathing difficulty starts, call medical help if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Wash affected skin thoroughly with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing, seek medical attention if irritation develops
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes with water for at least 15 minutes lifting upper and lower lids, get medical help quickly if irritation persists
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, drink water if conscious, seek prompt medical attention
Most Important Symptoms: Irritation, headache, drowsiness, nausea; prolonged exposure increases severity and risk of complications
Medical Note: Physicians should treat based on symptoms and supportive care; no known specific antidote
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical powder, alcohol foam, carbon dioxide, water spray for large fires
Unsuitable Media: Direct water jet can spread burning material
Special Hazards: Forms toxic gases, such as nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide, under combustion
Protective Equipment: Firefighters must use self-contained breathing apparatus and flame/chemical protective clothing
Additional Advice: Move containers from fire area if safe, keep cool with water spray, watch for reignition, control run-off to prevent environmental contamination
Personal Precautions: Shut off ignition sources, evacuate unprotected people, ventilate area, wear gloves, goggles, and chemical-resistant clothing, use respirator if needed
Containment: Stop leak only if safe, prevent spillage from reaching drains or large surfaces, use sand or inert absorbent material to limit spread
Cleanup Procedures: Absorb with dry sand, collect waste into chemical waste containers for disposal, wash area with water and detergent
Environmental Precautions: Avoid discharge into soil, rivers, or sewers; notify authorities for significant spills
Handling: Work in fume hood or well-ventilated area, keep away from sparks, open flames, hot surfaces, don’t eat, drink, or smoke while handling, wear appropriate personal protective gear
Storage: Store in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry place, segregate from acids, oxidizers, sources of ignition, keep under lock if required, label all containers clearly
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, bases, oxidizing agents, acyl chlorides, strong reducing agents
Special Rules: Only trained staff should access storage or work space, log container entries, avoid bulk transfer without controls
Engineering Controls: Use chemical fume hoods, maintain local ventilation, ensure emergency eyewash stations and safety showers are close to working area
Exposure Limits: Not defined by OSHA/ACGIH; handle as hazardous organic vapor
Personal Protection: Nitrile or neoprene gloves, safety goggles or glasses with side shields, flame-resistant lab coat or coveralls, chemical-resistant shoes, use approved respirator if airborne limits may be reached
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after handling, avoid contact with face and exposed skin, change contaminated clothing immediately, keep workplace clean and free of residues
Appearance: Clear to pale yellow liquid
Odor: Characteristic amine-like odor, slightly sweet
Boiling Point: Roughly 265°C (509°F)
Melting Point: -24°C (-11.2°F)
Density: Approximately 0.98 g/cm³ at 20°C
Solubility: Slightly soluble in water, soluble in most organic solvents
Vapor Pressure: Low at room temperature
pH (solution): Not determined
Flash Point: About 110°C (230°F)
Evaporation Rate: Not specifically measured
Viscosity: Moderate, similar to other small organic molecules
Auto-ignition Temperature: Not reported, avoid high-energy ignition sources
Chemical Stability: Stable at room temperature in closed containers, degrades with moisture, light, and high temperatures
Hazardous Reactions: Oxidizes violently with strong agents, can form heat or gas that bursts containers
Incompatibility: Strong oxidizers, acids, bases, reducing agents
Polymerization: Will not polymerize under standard conditions
Decomposition: Releases toxic gases—nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide—at high temperature or during fire
Possible Acute Effects: Mucous membrane and respiratory irritation, headaches, drowsiness, mild to moderate skin and eye irritation, digestive tract upset if swallowed
Chronic Effects: May lead to liver or kidney stress with prolonged/repeated exposure
Routes of Entry: Skin absorption, inhalation, eye contact, ingestion
Sensitization: No reliable data on sensitization, handle as possible irritant
Carcinogenicity/Mutagenicity: No evidence for human carcinogenicity or reproductive toxicity according to current data
LD50 (oral, rat): Estimated between 400-800 mg/kg (varies by test report)
Other Effects: Large exposures may cause drowsiness, confusion, or rare loss of consciousness; no known antidote, so treat promptly
Aquatic Toxicity: Harmful to aquatic life, especially in concentrated spills, risk of long-term effects not fully studied
Persistence: May degrade slowly in environment, tends to adsorb on sediment, partly volatile
Bioaccumulation: Low-moderate potential expected due to chemical structure
Mobility: Mobilizes in water, but binds to soil and organic material
Behavior: Risk of groundwater contamination if disposed improperly, especially near surface waters
Precautions: Avoid discharge to environment, use spill barriers and quick response for leaks
Waste Disposal: Collect and store in dedicated chemical waste containers, must not pour down drains, burn, or landfill outside legal hazardous waste rules
Contaminated Packaging: Decontaminate then dispose as regulated hazardous waste
Disposal Method: Work with licensed hazardous waste contractor; treat material using high-temperature incineration with proper flue gas cleaning systems
Legal Aspects: Follow local, state, national hazardous waste laws; record all disposal operations
Precautions: Never discharge into water bodies, soil, municipal sewage
