Personal Precautions: Evacuate area, ventilate well, avoid dust or vapor formation. Put on chemical-resistant gloves, splash-proof goggles, and lab coat before handling spills.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage if safe; avoid discharge into drains, surface water, or soil. Notify local authorities if significant environmental contamination is possible.
Spill Cleanup Methods: Absorb small spills with inert material such as vermiculite, sand, or earth, and collect in containers for disposal. Clean area thoroughly with water after material is removed.
Decontamination: Wash surfaces with soap and water, ventilate area until dry.
Disposal: Place absorbed material and any clean-up debris in suitable sealed containers for disposal according to Section 13.
Handling: Use in well-ventilated space; employ local exhaust if possible. Avoid creating dust or vapor. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in handling area. Always use proper personal protection as specified in Section 8.
Safe Storage: Store in tightly sealed containers, in cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible substances like strong oxidizers, acids, or bases. Store below 25°C.
Technical Measures: Use corrosion-resistant shelving. Practice good personal hygiene and lab discipline to minimize exposure.
Incompatible Materials: Avoid contact with oxidizers and moisture-sensitive products.
Packaging Materials: Use amber glass or high-density polyethylene wherever available.
Engineering Controls: Work in chemical fume hood or under local exhaust. Ensure eyewash and safety shower availability.
Personal Protection—Eyes: Tight-fitting safety goggles or face shield.
Personal Protection—Skin: Nitrile or neoprene gloves, long-sleeve lab coat.
Personal Protection—Respiratory: Suitable particulate or vapor respirator for accidental heavy exposure or inadequate ventilation.
Personal Protection—Other: Closed shoes, chemical-resistant apron for bulk handling.
Exposure Limits: No regulatory occupational exposure limit set. Adopt general exposure limits for nuisance dust or vapor.
Hygiene Measures: Wash thoroughly after use, change contaminated clothing before leaving work area.
Appearance: Colorless to yellowish liquid or solid, depending on purity and storage.
Odor: Mild, chemical; some users report faint sulfur accompaniments.
pH: Undiluted liquid: estimated 2–4
Boiling Point: Decomposes before boiling at atmospheric pressure
Melting Point: Around 60–120°C, dependent on purity
Solubility: Soluble in water, methanol, ethanol; slightly soluble in some ethers
Flash Point: Not established reliably; generally believed to be above 150°C
Vapor Pressure: Negligible at room temperature
Density: About 1.3–1.5 g/cm³ (20°C)
Viscosity: Moderate to high for an ionic liquid; thick at low temperatures
Partition Coefficient: Not measured; ionic nature suggests low n-octanol/water partitioning.
Chemical Stability: Stable in tightly closed containers under recommended storage conditions.
Thermal Decomposition: Can decompose at temperatures above 180°C with release of hazardous fumes.
Reactivity: Reacts strongly with oxidizing agents; can react with strong bases and acids.
Conditions to Avoid: Excess heat, flame, moisture, contact with incompatible materials.

Hazardous Polymerization: Not known to polymerize.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Sulfoxides, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid fumes.
Acute Toxicity: Data limited. Oral, dermal, and inhalation toxicity not well studied in mammals; generally expects low acute hazards at typical exposure levels.
Routes of Exposure: Eyes, skin, inhalation, ingestion.
Skin Irritation: Moderate to severe after prolonged exposure.
Eye Irritation: Irritant, potential for redness and watering.
Respiratory Effects: Vapor or mist may irritate nose and throat.
Chronic Effects: Repeated exposure might cause dermatitis, eye burns, or mild upper airway irritation in sensitive individuals.
Sensitization: No confirmed reports.
Carcinogenicity, Mutagenicity, Reproductive Toxicity: No classification or reports available; handle with caution.
Ecotoxicity: Data lacking; based on structure, high solubility means moderate risk for aquatic systems.
Aquatic Toxicity: Effect on fish and invertebrates not established; similar ionic liquids sometimes toxic at moderate concentrations.
Persistence/Degradability: Expected to be fairly persistent under standard environmental conditions, hydrolysis not rapid.
Bioaccumulative Potential: Not expected to bioaccumulate because of high water solubility and low fat solubility.
Mobility in Soil: Soluble in water, likely to move in moist soils.
Other Adverse Effects: Avoid large releases, as ionic liquids may cause long-term change in microbial and aquatic communities.
