Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, remove contact lenses if present and safe, seek medical attention if irritation persists
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash skin with mild soap and water for several minutes, see a physician if symptoms remain
Inhalation: Move victim to fresh air, keep at rest in position comfortable for breathing, seek medical help if breathing difficulties arise
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, do not induce vomiting, never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person, get medical advice
Advice for Doctors: Treat symptomatically based on clinical judgment
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, water spray for cooling containers not involved in fire
Specific Hazards: Vapors can form explosive mixtures with air, combustion may release sulfur oxides and other toxic gases
Protective Equipment: Full protective gear, self-contained breathing apparatus for fire-fighters
Advice: Evacuate area, keep fire-exposed containers cool using water spray, prevent fire run-off from contaminating water sources
Personal Precautions: Ventilate area, remove all sources of ignition, wear suitable protective clothing, gloves, goggles
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage from entering water bodies, drains, or soil
Spill Cleanup Methods: Absorb with inert dry material such as sand or earth, collect in appropriate waste container, dispose in accordance with regulations
Additional Actions: Decontaminate area with soap and water after cleanup, wash hands thoroughly
Precautions for Safe Handling: Handle in well-ventilated place, avoid skin and eye contact, prevent ingestion or inhalation
Storage Conditions: Store tightly closed in cool, dry, well-ventilated location away from incompatible substances like oxidizers and acids
Maximum Storage Temperature: 25°C
Recommended Storage Container: Amber glass bottles or approved chemical containers with proper labeling
Special Handling Instructions: Bond and ground containers when transferring, use safety cabinets where large volumes are stored
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, fume hood for significant quantities, emergency eye wash stations in immediate area
Personal Protective Equipment: Nitrile gloves, chemical splash goggles, lab coat, closed-toe shoes
Respiratory Protection: Chemical cartridge respirator if airborne exposure risk is present
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands and face before breaks and at end of work, avoid contaminated clothing
Appearance: Pale yellow to colorless liquid
Odor: Distinct, mild aromatic
Boiling Point: 227°C
Melting Point: Data not widely reported, remains liquid at room temperature
Flash Point: 104°C
Solubility: Miscible with organic solvents such as ethanol, DMSO, poorly soluble in water
Vapor Pressure: Low at ambient temperature
Density: Approximately 1.16 g/cm³
pH: Not applicable for non-aqueous liquid
Partition Coefficient (Log Pow): Estimated at 1.1
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage and handling conditions.
Conditions to Avoid: Heat, ignition sources, static discharge, open flames
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, strong acids
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Sulfur oxides, carbon oxides, toxic organic fumes formed on combustion or thermal decomposition
Polymerization: No hazardous polymerization expected under normal conditions
Acute Toxicity: Oral LD50 (rat): estimated at 640 mg/kg
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Causes moderate irritation on repeated or prolonged contact
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: Stings, redness, tearing potential
Respiratory Sensitization: Vapor inhalation causes headache, dizziness, or mild respiratory irritation
Carcinogenicity: No carcinogenic effects observed in standard tests
Mutagenicity: Not expected based on current structure-activity relationships
Other Data: Prolonged exposure might sensitize skin; symptoms resolve with standard medical aid
Ecotoxicity: Harmful to aquatic life in high concentrations, low volatility reduces environmental mobility
Persistence and Degradability: Expected to biodegrade slowly, not readily bioaccumulative
Bioaccumulation Potential: Low based on measured partition coefficient
Mobility in Soil: Moderate, substance binds to soil particles under most environmental conditions
Other Adverse Effects: Avoid release to the environment; regulated disposal required for large-scale spillage
Product Disposal: Incinerate in approved chemical waste facility, follow all local and national regulations
Contaminated Packaging: Rinse with compatible solvent, offer for chemical recycle or disposal through licensed waste handler
Special Considerations: Avoid direct discharge; never pour into drains or surface water.
