Chemical Name: 1-Pentyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide
Concentration: Approx. 100% by weight
CAS Number: 799273-76-0
Impurities and Stabilizing Additives: Product typically provided as pure material, trace solvent or moisture may occur due to handling, always refer to company's batch-specific documentation
Eye Contact: Immediately rinse cautiously with cool water for 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open, seek medical attention for persistent discomfort or blurred vision
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash affected area thoroughly with plenty of soap and water, seek attention if irritation develops or persists
Inhalation: Move to fresh air promptly, seek medical attention for severe respiratory symptoms or irritation; provide oxygen if trained personnel consider necessary
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person, seek medical assessment; do not induce vomiting unless directed by qualified personnel
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry powder, or carbon dioxide extinguishers as appropriate
Special Hazards: Fire produces hazardous decomposition products—noxious fumes including nitrogen oxides, cyanide compounds, carbon monoxide; thermal decomposition releases toxic vapors
Advice for Firefighters: Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear, cool containers exposed to flames with water spray to prevent over-pressurization and bursting
Explosion Data: Product is not considered explosive under normal conditions, avoid contact with strong oxidizers, ignition sources, and extremely high temperatures
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel, ensure adequate ventilation, wear chemical splash goggles, gloves, and laboratory chemical resistant clothing
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage, avoid discharge to drains and surface water; contain run-off with earth, sand, or suitable absorbent
Methods for Cleaning Up: Absorb with inert material (sand, silica, vermiculite), collect into sealable containers for disposal, clean area with detergent and copious water, minimize dust generation
Precautions for Safe Handling: Wear appropriate PPE (protective gloves, eye protection, lab coat), avoid inhalation of dust or vapor, avoid direct skin or eye contact, use with local exhaust or under fume hood, keep containers tightly closed
Conditions for Safe Storage: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated environment, away from incompatible materials (strong oxidizers, acids, alkalis), protect from moisture and heat, store in original tightly sealed container
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents, strong acids and bases, avoid moisture and direct sunlight
Control Parameters: No established occupational exposure limits; minimize exposure through engineering controls
Engineering Controls: Use fume hood or effective local exhaust in handling areas, provide eyewash fountains and safety showers
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety goggles, chemical resistant gloves (nitrile), protective lab clothing, respiratory protection if ventilation is insufficient or dust concentration is high
General Hygiene Measures: Wash hands thoroughly after use, remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse, do not eat or drink in laboratory or use area
Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow liquid or crystalline solid, depending on temperature
Odor: Mild, slightly musty
Boiling Point: Data not readily available — ionic liquids have low volatility
Melting Point / Freezing Point: Range varies (commonly below 100 °C)
Flash Point: Not flammable under standard test methods, low vapor pressure
Solubility: Miscible with water and many organic solvents
pH: Near neutral in aqueous solution
Vapor Pressure: Very low, negligible volatility
Density: Approximately 1.05–1.10 g/mL at 20 °C
Viscosity: Moderate to high (varies by temperature)
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal handling and storage conditions
Reactivity: Avoid strong oxidizers, acids and bases can induce decomposition
Decomposition Products: On combustion or thermal breakdown, liberates nitrogen oxides, hydrogen cyanide, and other irritating or toxic gases
Hazardous Reactions: None expected during normal use; dangerous reactions possible with the listed incompatible materials
Acute Toxicity: Limited animal data available; ingestion or skin exposure may cause mild toxicity, gastrointestinal upset, some irritant effects
Skin Corrosion / Irritation: Skin contact can prompt irritation, especially after prolonged or repeated exposure
Serious Eye Damage / Irritation: Contact with eyes can result in irritation, redness, tearing
Respiratory Sensitization: Prolonged exposure to dust or aerosol could irritate airways, limited chronic data
Germ Cell Mutagenicity, Carcinogenicity, Reproductive Toxicity: No data available
Symptoms After Exposure: Discomfort, mild chemical burns, respiratory tract irritation, stomach distress
Additional Information: Avoid unnecessary exposure, always handle with caution in well-ventilated setting with correct PPE
Ecotoxicity: Acute aquatic toxicity, harmful to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term effects in aquatic environments
Persistence and Degradability: Not readily biodegradable, ionic liquids can persist in the environment
Bioaccumulation Potential: Limited data, unlikely to bioaccumulate due to ionic character
Mobility in Soil: High solubility increases migration through soil and water run-off
Other Adverse Effects: Avoid bulk disposal to waterways; ecological risk increases with volume handled or released
Waste Treatment Methods: Dispose as hazardous chemical waste according to local, regional, national, and/or international regulations, never discard in municipal trash or wash down drain
Contaminated Packaging: Triple rinse empty containers, puncture and dispose in line with hazardous container protocols
Other Precautions: Coordinate final disposal through licensed waste management facility, keep clear documentation for regulatory compliance
UN Number: Not classified as hazardous for transport under most regulations, always verify shipment requirements with local rules and current classifications
Proper Shipping Name: Chemical, not otherwise specified
Transport Hazard Classes: Not regulated as dangerous goods
Packing Group: Not assigned
Environmental Hazards: Toxic to aquatic life if released during transit
Special Precautions: Ensure containers are secure, properly sealed, and labeled during transportation
Safety, Health, Environmental Regulation Specific for the Product: Subject to chemical hygiene regulations in laboratories and workplaces
OSHA Status: Not specifically listed, general duty to protect workers applies
TSCA Inventory Status: Verify inclusion as substances in the United States may require regulatory review for import or manufacturing
EU Regulations: REACH Registration status should be checked before import or use, observe classification and labeling requirements
Other International Regulations: Review with local and regional chemical regulatory agencies, MSDS/SDS updated regularly to reflect new findings and regulations
