Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Full protective gear with self-contained breathing apparatus, chemical-resistant suits
Special Precautions: Control runoff water with barriers to prevent contamination of waterways, remain upwind and avoid inhalation of combustion products
Personal Protection: Wear chemical splash goggles, laboratory gloves, suitable protective clothing, use respiratory mask if dust or vapor present above safe levels
Environmental Protection: Prevent entry into drains or public water sources, contain spilled liquid with absorbent inert materials such as sand or vermiculite
Cleanup Procedures: Scoop or soak up with suitable absorbent material, shovel collected mixture into closed, labeled containers, ventilate area well, dispose of according to local chemical waste regulations
Decontamination: Wash area of spill thoroughly with water and detergent after cleanup, monitor for residual contamination if possible
Handling: Keep container closed when not in use, avoid direct contact with eyes and skin, handle in well-ventilated setting or use chemical fume hood, do not eat or smoke while handling
Storage: Store in tightly sealed original container at temperatures below 30°C, protect from direct sunlight and moisture, secure chemical in a designated safety storage area for hazardous reagents, segregate from incompatible chemicals such as strong acids, bases, and oxidants
Stability Conditions: Keep away from strong bases and oxidizing agents, do not allow water ingress
Occupational Exposure Limit Values: No established ACGIH TLV or OSHA PEL; minimize all exposure as a best practice
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, chemical fume hood, or similar methods to control airborne concentration
Personal Protective Equipment: Nitrile gloves, safety goggles with side shields, laboratory coat or apron, respiratory protection assessed by hazard presence
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands thoroughly after handling, remove and wash contaminated clothing, prohibit food and drink in chemical use areas
Environmental Exposure Controls: Prevent run-off into drains and surface waters, install spill containment systems if facilities regularly use compound at scale
Appearance: Clear to pale yellow liquid, may become cloudy if exposed to moisture
Odor: Mild characteristic odor, no intense or irritating smell under normal conditions
pH (1% in H2O): Slightly acidic to neutral, influenced by hydrolysis of silane group
Melting Point/Freezing Point: Below -20°C
Boiling Point/Range: Not well-defined due to ionic nature, thermal decomposition above 250°C
Flash Point: Approximately 120°C (closed cup, estimated, always confirm with specific lot analysis)
Solubility: Miscible with polar solvents like ethanol, DMSO, partially soluble in water, hydrolyzes slowly in humid air

Relative Density: 1.3-1.4 g/cm³ (20°C)
Other Data: Not volatile under normal lab conditions, forms glassy residue on evaporation, hydrolytic stability moderate
Chemical Stability: Stable under dry, cool, airtight storage, reacts with moisture over time due to silane hydrolysis
Hazardous Reactions: Reacts vigorously with strong oxidizers, slow surface hydrolysis in presence of water or humid air
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Imidazole derivatives, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, silicon dioxide, carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, traces of hydrogen fluoride

Polymerization Risk: No self-polymerization expected, can condense if exposed to strong acids or bases in presence of water
Likely Routes of Exposure: Eyes, skin, inhalation, accidental ingestion
Acute Effects: Eye and skin irritation, potential for allergic reactions upon repeated contact, respiratory tract discomfort
Chronic Effects: Prolonged or repeated exposure can cause dermatitis or eczema, potential for respiratory sensitization not documented in detail
LD50 (oral, rat): No published value; structurally related imidazolium ionic liquids range from 300 to 2000 mg/kg
Skin Sensitization: Occasional cases in laboratory handling
Carcinogenicity / Mutagenicity: No long-term animal data, not listed by IARC/NTP/OSHA as carcinogenic
Other Data: Not acutely toxic by inhalation under standard conditions, improper handling may boost hazard profile
Ecotoxicity: Toxic to aquatic organisms based on imidazolium and fluorinated sulfonimide components, contributes to long-term aquatic hazard
Persistence and Degradability: Not readily biodegradable, environmental half-life can span weeks to months
Bioaccumulation Potential: Low to moderate; fluorinated anion not expected to bioaccumulate significantly, cation may have slight bioconcentration potential in certain conditions
