Special Procedures: Avoid dispersing dust in air; control runoff water, stay upwind to avoid fumes
Personal Precautions: Use personal protective equipment; avoid skin and eye contact, avoid breathing dust
Environmental Precautions: Prevent from entering drains, waterways, or soil
Methods for Cleanup: Sweep up spilled material using methods to minimize dust generation, collect in appropriate container for disposal, ventilate area, wash spill site after material pickup is complete
Decontamination: Use appropriate decontamination protocol for laboratory chemicals
Precautions for Safe Handling: Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing; avoid inhalation of dust or fumes; use appropriate engineering controls such as fume hood; keep container tightly closed
Safe Storage Conditions: Store away from incompatible substances such as strong oxidants; keep in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place; keep container sealed when not in use
Storage Temperature: Store at room temperature or as specified by manufacturer
Handling Advice: Wash thoroughly after handling; remove contaminated clothing
Incompatibility: Strong oxidizers, strong acids, reactive chemicals
Engineering Controls: Use chemical fume hood, eye wash stations, and safety showers in work area
Respiratory Protection: Use approved NIOSH respirator if dust formation or chemical vapor present
Eye Protection: Safety goggles with side shields
Skin Protection: Chemical resistant gloves (nitrile, neoprene), lab coat
Hygiene Measures: Avoid eating, drinking, and smoking when handling; wash hands thoroughly after use
Exposure Limits: Not specifically established for this compound; follow general laboratory safety standards
Appearance: White to off-white crystalline solid
Odor: Faint or odorless
Melting Point: 163-168°C
Boiling Point: Data not readily available; decomposition likely before boiling
Solubility: Slightly soluble in water, soluble in organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, DMSO
pH: Acidic (for solutions)
Vapor Pressure: Not readily available
Vapor Density: Not determined
Specific Gravity: Not determined
Flash Point: Not determined, presumed not highly flammable under normal lab conditions
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal conditions
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, open flame, incompatible materials, direct sunlight
Materials to Avoid: Strong acids, strong bases, strong oxidizing agents
Decomposition Products: Thermal decomposition generates carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, possible other hazardous fumes
Hazardous Reactions: No dangerous polymerization anticipated; avoid situations that increase reactivity of organic compounds
Likely Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin contact, eye contact, ingestion
Acute Effects: May cause irritation to skin, eyes, mucous membranes; harmful if swallowed or inhaled
Chronic Effects: No long-term studies in humans available; use has not been associated with carcinogenic or mutagenic outcomes, but lack of chronic toxicity data calls for caution
Symptoms: Redness, coughing, headache, nausea, drowsiness with excessive exposure
Toxicity Data: No official OSHA/NIOSH exposure limits; consult supplier for specific test data
Ecotoxicity: Not extensively studied; expected low toxicity to aquatic life based on chemical class, but avoid uncontrolled release
Persistence and Degradability: Degradation in environment may be slow, likely persistence in soil and water
Bioaccumulation: Low potential for bioaccumulation due to chemical structure, but absence of direct studies
Mobility: Limited water solubility predicts low mobility in environment
Other Environmental Hazards: Unintentional release may affect microbial or aquatic systems; prudent to treat as environmentally hazardous in absence of full ecological data
Disposal Methods: Dispose through chemical waste program according to local, regional, national, and international regulations
Contaminated Packaging: Containers should be triply rinsed and disposed as hazardous waste
Special Precautions: Do not drain into environment, sewer, or water system; label waste container with contents and hazard
