Fire Hazards: Combustion produces hydrogen fluoride, phosphorus oxides, nitrogen oxides, toxic imidazole fumes
Protective Equipment: Wear full protective gear and self-contained breathing apparatus, avoid inhaling combustion products
Unusual Fire Behaviors: Containers may rupture due to thermal expansion, firefighting water may spread contamination
Advice for Firefighters: Approach from upwind, use water spray to cool containers exposed to flame, isolate spill area, evacuate personnel
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unprotected individuals, restrict access, wear respiratory protection and chemical gloves
Environmental Precautions: Prevent run-off into drains and waterways, contain spill using inert absorbent material
Cleanup Methods: Collect spilled liquid with absorbent, store in sealed hazardous waste containers
Decontamination: Wash area with copious water after removal, ventilate space
Waste Disposal: Dispose via licensed chemical waste contractor, comply with local and national regulations
Handling: Avoid inhalation, ingestion, skin and eye contact, operate in fume hood or well-ventilated area, ground containers to avoid static
Personal Hygiene: Do not eat, drink, or smoke while working, wash hands after handling, remove contaminated clothing
Storage Conditions: Keep tightly closed in original container, store away from moisture and light
Temperature Recommendations: Store at ambient temperature, avoid freezing and elevated heat
Incompatibilities: Keep away from strong acids, alkalis, water-reactive materials, oxidizers
Engineering Controls: Provide local exhaust ventilation or operate in chemical fume hood, ensure emergency eyewash and shower available
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established limits for this compound, minimize airborne exposure nonetheless
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), safety goggles, lab coat, use respirator for dusts or aerosols
Workplace Hygiene: Change gloves frequently, avoid direct skin contact, handle with appropriate caution, keep work surfaces clean and clear
Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow viscous liquid

pH: Not applicable as a non-aqueous liquid
Viscosity: Moderate to high, depending on temperature
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions
Reactvity: Reacts with strong oxidizing agents, acids, may hydrolyze slowly in presence of water
Conditions to Avoid: Prolonged exposure to moisture, high temperatures, direct sunlight
Decomposition: Forms toxic fluorides, phosphorus oxides, imidazole derivatives upon decomposition or combustion
Polymerization: Not known to occur under normal use
Routes of Exposure: Eyes, skin, inhalation, ingestion
Acute Effects: Local irritation, inflammation, soreness, discomfort, respiratory distress if inhaled
Oral Toxicity: LD50 estimation in rats suggests 300-2000 mg/kg, potential for systemic toxicity
Chronic Exposure: Limited data, possible accumulation leading to organ damage after repeated exposure
Carcinogenicity: No known long-term studies, not classified
Mutagenicity: Not enough evidence for classification
Sensitization: Prolonged skin contact could cause sensitization in some individuals
Aquatic Toxicity: Harmful to aquatic life, limited rapid degradation, bioaccumulation unlikely based on structure
Persistence: Stable, not readily biodegradable, breakdown may produce persistent fluorinated byproducts
Mobility: Low vapor pressure, limited volatility, potential for soil absorption
Bioaccumulation: Not expected to bioaccumulate significantly
Environmental Fate: Long-term effects possible due to compound stability, avoid release to environment
Remediation: Collect and incinerate chemical waste, avoid dilution in water bodies
Waste Treatment: Do not dispose with ordinary waste or into drains, incineration under controlled conditions preferred
