General Advice: Move exposed individual to fresh air space, remove contaminated clothing
Inhalation: Have individual breathe fresh air, seek medical attention if symptoms (such as coughing or breathing difficulty) persist
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses, seek medical help if irritation continues
Skin Contact: Wash skin under running water with soap, remove any contaminated clothing, medical attention for ongoing irritation
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink water if conscious, do not induce vomiting, consult physician immediately for guidance
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, CO2, foam, or water mist (not direct water stream)
Special Hazards: Combustion may release hazardous gases including nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, hydrogen fluoride, and carbon monoxide
Protective Equipment: Firefighters require full protective gear and suitable respirator as toxic gases may be released
Thermal Decomposition: Degradation under high temperature produces highly corrosive and toxic byproducts
Explosion Hazard: Not known to be explosive under normal handling though excessive heat may degrade material
Personal Protection: Equip gloves, safety goggles, and laboratory coat, prevent ingestion or contact with skin
Spill Cleanup: Absorb with inert material like sand, sweep up and transfer to a suitable container, ventilate area
Prevention of Secondary Hazards: Avoid discharge into drains, sewer, or water sources, manage waste according to regulations
Environmental Precaution: Prevent further leakage or spillage, report large spills to responsible authorities where required
Handling: Wear appropriate PPE, keep away from sources of ignition, avoid mixing with incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents
Storage: Keep container tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location, segregate from strong acids, bases, and oxidizers
Other Precautions: Store away from food, drink, and animal feed, and maintain spill containment materials nearby
Engineering Controls: Utilize chemical fume hood or proper ventilation for all uses
Respiratory Protection: Use NIOSH-approved respirator during procedures with vapor or dust generation
Skin Protection: Wear chemical-resistant gloves such as nitrile or neoprene
Eye Protection: Use safety goggles or face shield
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands thoroughly after handling, do not eat or drink in processing areas
Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow liquid or crystalline solid
Odor: Weak to none
Melting Point: Around -11°C
Boiling Point: Decomposes before boiling
Solubility: Miscible with water and some organic solvents
Specific Gravity: 1.47–1.54 g/cm3 at 20°C
Vapor Pressure: Negligible at room temperature
pH: Not available
Flash Point: >100°C, not highly flammable but caution with heating
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions
Conditions to Avoid: Keep away from strong oxidizers, elevated temperatures, open flames
Incompatible Materials: Avoid contact with reactive metals, strong acids or bases, oxidizing substances
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Hydrogen fluoride, sulfur oxides, carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, other toxic gases during fire or decomposition
Acute Toxicity: Data limited; expected low toxicity based on imidazolium class but thorough hazard evaluation not performed for all routes
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: May cause mild to moderate irritation; longer exposure increases risk
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: Irritation possible, rinse eyes promptly following exposure
Respiratory Sensitization: Prolonged or high concentration inhalation could be irritating
Carcinogenicity/Mutagenicity: No evidence or data; insufficient studies to determine long-term effects
Chronic Effects: Data gap exists for chronic effects in humans and the environment
Aquatic Toxicity: Limited data on aquatic organisms; structure suggests some potential toxicity, avoid release into waterways
Persistence and Degradability: Likely slow degradation due to stability of imidazolium core and trifluoromethyl groups
Bioaccumulative Potential: Fluorinated portion can persist in environment, mobility expected to be low
Mobility in Soil: Limited volatility, chemical may adsorb to soil or sediment depending on environmental conditions
Other Adverse Effects: Consult local environmental agencies for specific disposal or spill requirement, minimize environmental introduction due to persistence
Waste Treatment Methods: Collect contaminated absorbent and dispose according to local, regional, and national guidelines
Disposal Containers: Use designated hazardous waste containers, ensure tight seal and chemical compatibility
Uncleaned Packaging: Triple-rinse with suitable solvent if reusing container, otherwise treat as hazardous waste
Disposal Precautions: Do not dispose contents or packaging into the environment, avoid unregulated incineration or landfill
UN Number: Not subject to UN hazardous transport regulations for most jurisdictions but check local requirements
Proper Shipping Name: Not regulated for transport under international ADR/RID/IMDG/IATA rules
Transport Hazard Class: Not classified under hazardous substances for transport
Packing Group: Not applicable
Environmental Hazards: Prevent accidental release during loading or unloading, handle as chemical product with environmental risk
GHS Classification: Not classified as hazardous but prudent practice treats as potentially harmful
