General Guidance: Remove person from exposure, seek medical attention if symptoms persist
Inhalation: Move to fresh air, keep at rest, consult physician if breathing becomes difficult
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, rinse skin thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes, seek medical help for persistent irritation
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if present, continue rinsing and call for medical attention
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, seek medical advice immediately
Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or alcohol-resistant foam, water spray for larger fires
Special Hazards: Decomposition releases toxic fumes including phosphorus oxides, hydrogen fluoride, carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides
Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing
Advice for Firefighters: Avoid breathing decomposition products, isolate area if possible, remove containers from fire zones if safe
Personal Precautions: Wear laboratory gloves, goggles, and lab coat, avoid inhalation and skin contact, evacuate unnecessary personnel
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage, avoid discharge to drains and environments
Methods for Cleaning Up: Absorb with inert material like sand or activated carbon, gently sweep up and transfer to suitable containers for disposal, ventilate affected area after cleanup
Safe Handling: Operate in chemical fume hood or well-ventilated area, avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing, do not breathe dust or vapors, follow best laboratory practices, wash thoroughly after handling
Storage Conditions: Store tightly closed in cool, dry, and well-ventilated location, protect from moisture and incompatible substances, keep away from direct sunlight, segregate from oxidizing agents, acids, and bases, label storage vessels clearly
Engineering Controls: Use chemical fume hoods, local exhaust ventilation for airborne particulate minimization, maintain eye wash stations and safety showers nearby
Control Parameters: No established occupational exposure limits, refer to local guidelines for analogous substances
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile suggested), certified safety goggles, lab coat, closed footwear, use of appropriate respiratory protection in absence of sufficient ventilation
Hygiene Measures: Regular handwashing after material handling, remove soiled garments immediately, avoid eating or drinking in work areas, keep workplace clean and uncluttered

Decomposition Temperature: >300°C, with hazardous byproducts
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage and handling conditions
Reactivity: May react with strong oxidizers, acids, or strong bases
Conditions to Avoid: Elevated temperature, moisture, direct sunlight, incompatible reagents
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Emits carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen fluoride, and phosphorus compounds in the event of thermal decomposition
Polymerization: Not expected under normal processing
Likely Routes of Exposure: Skin and eye contact, inhalation, accidental ingestion
Acute Effects: Skin irritation, moderate to severe eye irritation, possible respiratory tract irritation if dust inhaled
Chronic Effects: Prolonged or repeated exposure can provoke dermatitis, gastrointestinal upset if swallowed repeatedly
Toxicity Data: Specific LD50 values not well documented; general toxicological data for imidazolium salts suggest moderate toxicity
Sensitization: Not classified as a sensitizer in reported case studies
Carcinogenicity, Mutagenicity, Reproductive Toxicity: No conclusive studies associating substance with cancer, genetic, or reproductive risk—exercise caution, interpret gaps conservatively
Ecotoxicity: Exhibits moderate to high toxicity to aquatic organisms by disrupting cellular transport and enzyme activity in fish and invertebrates
Persistence and Degradability: Not readily biodegradable, ionic strength slows breakdown in water and soil environments
Bioaccumulation Potential: Moderate concern, accumulation in aquatic food chains possible
Mobility in Soil: Tends to adsorb to sediments, leaching risk decreases with increased organic content
Additional Notes: Avoid large-scale releases, especially to waterways and sewage systems
Waste Treatment Methods: Collect and deliver as hazardous chemical waste through authorized disposal companies, incineration preferred method for destruction
Contaminated Packaging: Triple rinse then dispose via chemical waste facility; do not reuse or recycle containers
Precautions: Consult regional, national, and local regulations for hazardous substance disposal protocols, avoid landfill or sewer release, mark all disposal containers clearly
UN Number: Not regulated under most international transportation guidelines
Proper Shipping Name: Chemical, n.o.s. (contains imidazolium salt)
Hazard Class: Not assigned
