Notes to Physician: Symptomatic treatment; no specific antidote known
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical powder, foam, or carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Media: Avoid direct water jets for safety
Specific Hazards: Product does not ignite easily, but thermal decomposition may release toxic gases including hydrogen fluoride, sulfur oxides, and nitrogen oxides
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear full turnout gear, including self-contained breathing apparatus
Advice for Firefighters: Control runoff to prevent environmental contamination, approach from windward side to avoid exposure to fumes
Personal Precautions: Use chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing to prevent contact
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spill from entering drains, surface water, or soil
Containment Methods: Absorb liquid with inert material such as vermiculite or sand and transfer to closed container
Cleaning Up: Ventilate area well, wipe with damp cloth for small spills, dispose of according to local regulations
Other Advice: Wash surfaces with water after cleanup, avoid raising dust or creating aerosols during handling
Handling: Handle inside chemical fume hood to minimize vapor or mist exposure; avoid ingestion, inhalation, and direct skin or eye contact; wear suitable protective clothing including gloves and goggles
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly sealed containers, in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area; keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents, strong acids and bases; avoid contact with moisture for quality retention
Safe Storage Advice: Label storage areas clearly, keep out of reach of children and unauthorized personnel
Exposure Limits: No official occupational exposure limits have been established
Engineering Controls: Use fume hood or local exhaust ventilation; install eyewash stations and safety showers near work area
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), safety goggles or full face shield, lab coat, closed footwear
Hygiene Measures: Do not eat, drink, or smoke during use; wash hands thoroughly after handling; remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse

Mutagenicity/Carcinogenicity: No evidence from available studies
Ecotoxicity: No large-scale toxicity to aquatic organisms reported; breakdown in environment not fully characterized
Persistence and Degradability: Resistant to rapid biodegradation
Bioaccumulation Potential: Low due to ionic nature; does not pass readily through biological membranes
Mobility in Soil: High solubility in water may lead to mobility, but binding to soil and sediment expected
Other Adverse Effects: Discharge to environment should be avoided until further data available
