Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, carbon dioxide, foam, or dry chemical
Specific Hazards: May emit toxic smoke or gases such as nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides on combustion
Protective Equipment: Firefighters wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing
Special Precautions: Avoid inhaling fumes; control runoff water to prevent environmental contamination
Personal Precautions: Use personal protective equipment including gloves, goggles, and dust mask
Environmental Precautions: Prevent material from entering drains, surface water, or soil
Cleanup Methods: Sweep up and collect in an appropriate labeled container for disposal; use wet methods to minimize dust production
Other Precautions: Ventilate the area and prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so
Handling: Use in well-ventilated spaces; reduce dust generation; do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing; wash thoroughly after handling
Storage: Store in tightly closed containers away from moisture and incompatible materials; keep in a cool, dry area with limited access
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizing agents
Storage Class: General chemical storage with restricted access to authorized personnel
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation recommended in processing areas
Respiratory Protection: Use approved dust mask or respirator if dust levels risk occupational exposure
Skin Protection: Chemical-resistant gloves; protective clothing recommended
Eye Protection: Safety goggles or face shield
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before breaks and after handling; do not eat or drink while using material
Appearance: White to light yellow crystalline powder
Odor: Odorless
Molecular Weight: 399.39 g/mol
Melting Point: Around 315-317°C
Solubility: Practically insoluble in water; slightly soluble in alcohol
pH: Not available due to insolubility in water
Vapor Pressure: Data not available; low volatility expected
Boiling Point: Decomposes before boiling
Partition Coefficient (log Kow): Not readily available; likely low due to structure
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal conditions of use and storage
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, direct sunlight, and moisture
Incompatible Materials: Oxidizing agents, acids, strong bases
Decomposition Products: Thermal decomposition can produce hazardous fumes like sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and carbon monoxide
Hazardous Reactions: No hazardous polymerization expected
Acute Toxicity: Oral LD50 in rodents above common pharmaceutical dosages; low acute toxicity for single exposure
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: May irritate sensitive skin on prolonged or repeated exposure
Eye Damage/Irritation: Risk of mild irritation
Respiratory Irritation: Dust may provoke mild to moderate irritation of airways
Sensitization: Some cases of allergenic responses after skin contact have occurred
Chronic Effects: Long-term exposure possible risk of hypersensitivity; animal studies do not show significant carcinogenic or mutagenic potential
Ecotoxicity: Limited data available; low acute risk to aquatic life expected at normal environmental concentrations
Persistence and Degradability: Likely to degrade slowly in soil or water; low volatility into air
Bioaccumulation Potential: Low due to poor lipid solubility
Mobility in Soil: Low mobility; binds to soil particles
Other Adverse Effects: Do not release in large quantities into waterways to prevent potential harm to aquatic life
