Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly, drink water, avoid inducing vomiting, seek medical attention if unwell
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, CO2, foam, water spray
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Strong water jets may spread chemicals
Specific Hazards: During fire, can decompose releasing fluorinated and sulfur oxides, imidazole derivatives, toxic fumes
Protective Equipment: Firefighters wear self-contained breathing apparatus, chemical-resistant clothing
Firefighting Instructions: Prevent contaminated runoff, keep drums cool with water spray
Personal Precautions: Use appropriate protective equipment, avoid breathing vapors or dust, ventilate area
Environmental Precautions: Stop material from reaching drains, surface or groundwater
Cleanup Methods: Absorb with inert material (sand, earth, vermiculite), collect in sealable chemical waste container, wash spill location with copious water
Handling: Work only with adequate ventilation, handle in chemical fume hood, avoid direct contact, avoid inhaling dust or droplets, use static dissipative or explosion-proof equipment
Storage: Store in tightly closed original containers, cool dry place, away from heat sources, incompatible materials (such as strong oxidizers, reducing agents), ensure secondary containment to prevent leaks, label storage area clearly
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, eyewash station and safety shower nearby
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile recommended), lab coat, chemical splash goggles, respiratory protection if airborne concentrations risk exceeding safe levels
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before breaks and at end of shift, avoid eating or drinking while handling, change contaminated clothing promptly
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limit for this substance, maintain airborne concentrations as low as possible
Appearance: Pale yellow to colorless liquid at room temperature
Odor: Faint, slightly pungent
Melting Point: Approximately -20°C
Boiling Point: >300°C (decomposes)
Density: 1.4–1.5 g/cm³
Solubility: Partially miscible with water, readily soluble in organic solvents
pH (aqueous solution): Near-neutral
Vapor Pressure: Negligible at ambient temperature
Viscosity: Moderate to high depending on purity and temperature
Flash Point: Not available (estimated high)
Reactivity: Stable under recommended conditions, reactive towards strong oxidizers
Chemical Stability: Chemically stable when stored correctly, sensitivity to prolonged exposure to high temperatures and strong acids or bases
Thermal Decomposition: Generates fluorine-containing gases and nitrogenous oxides at elevated temperatures
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, bases, oxidizing agents, some reducing agents
Hazardous Polymerization: No hazardous polymerization anticipated under normal conditions
Acute Toxicity: Limited toxicological data; oral, dermal, and inhalation LD50 not fully established
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: May cause mild irritation on prolonged contact
Eye Irritation: Dust or droplets may result in irritation
Respiratory Sensitization: Dust or mist may cause mild respiratory tract discomfort
Chronic Effects: No chronic exposure data available; prudent to minimize contact
Carcinogenicity/Mutagenicity: No data indicating carcinogenic or mutagenic risk for humans
Sensitization: Not reported in literature, still work with caution
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Coughing, redness, mild itching, dizziness possible from vapor inhalation in poorly ventilated areas
Ecotoxicity: Data limited, may have harmful effects toward aquatic organisms due to fluorinated anion
Persistence and Degradability: Likely persistent in the environment due to strong C–F bonds
Bioaccumulation: Potential for bioaccumulation in aquatic environments remains under investigation
Mobility in Soil: Can move with water through soil; avoid release to environment
Other Adverse Effects: Ionic liquids in general can disrupt aquatic microfauna balance if not properly remediated
Disposal Methods: Dispose of as hazardous chemical waste according to local, regional, or national regulations
Contaminated Packaging: Rinse thoroughly before recycling or dispose according to governing laws
Additional Information: Never flush into sewer, waterways, or soil
