Eye Contact: Rinse well for several minutes with lukewarm water, keeping eyelids open; medical assistance advised if discomfort or redness remains
Ingestion: Rinse mouth; avoid inducing vomiting; obtain immediate medical help for significant exposure or in cases of uncertainty
Symptoms: Redness, itching, burning sensation, mild respiratory distress possible
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide; prioritize methods preventing chemical runoff to drains
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Strong jet of water not recommended; may spread chemical contamination
Special Hazards: Combustion can generate carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen bromide gas
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Full protective gear with self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) in chemical fires
Additional Information: Contain firefighting runoff; chemical is not highly flammable, but fire can produce irritating or toxic gases
Personal Precautions: Use gloves, goggles, and mask to minimize exposure; ventilate the area
Environmental Precautions: Prevent material from entering surface waters, sewers, or soil
Cleanup Methods: Collect solid or liquid by absorbent material (vermiculite, sand, or inert clay); sweep up and place in suitable closed containers for disposal
Decontamination: Wash spill area with water/detergent, contain waste for regulatory disposal
Secondary Measures: Dispose of contaminated items as hazardous waste; report large releases to appropriate local authorities
Handling: Wear appropriate chemical-resistant gloves, splash goggles, and lab apron; use under fume hood or well-ventilated space; avoid contact with eyes and skin
Hygiene Practices: Always wash exposed skin before eating, drinking, or handling unrelated materials; remove contaminated clothing before leaving work area
Storage: Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location away from strong oxidizers and moisture; keep container upright
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents, acids, and bases
Shelf Life: Storage below 25°C maximizes chemical stability; avoid exposure to direct sunlight
Engineering Controls: Use chemical fume hood or local exhaust fans to reduce airborne exposure; work on spill tray or containment mat
Respiratory Protection: NIOSH-approved respirator recommended for handling powders or high-vapor applications
Skin Protection: Laboratory gloves (nitrile or neoprene preferable), long-sleeved clothing, and chemical-resistant apron
Eye/Face Protection: Chemical splash goggles, face shield for large quantities
Other Controls: Eyewash station and safety shower accessible in working area
Appearance: White to pale yellow crystalline solid or viscous liquid (depending on purity and temperature)
Odor: Low, faint chemical odor
Odor Threshold: Not established due to low volatility
pH: Neutral to slightly basic in aqueous solution
Melting Point: 28-36°C; precise value may vary by batch
Boiling Point: Not well defined; decomposition occurs under rigorous heating
Solubility: Highly soluble in water, methanol, ethanol, and some polar organic solvents
Density: 0.98–1.10 g/cm³
Vapor Pressure: Minimal, not significant at room temperature
Partition Coefficient (n-octanol/water): Not determined; expected to favor aqueous phase
Evaporation Rate: Slow
Flammability: Product not classified as flammable by standard tests
Viscosity: Moderate, varies with temperature and water content
Reactivity: Stable under recommended storage and handling conditions
Chemical Stability: No significant decomposition at room temperature; moisture and light exposure may cause slow breakdown
Hazardous Reactions: May react with strong oxidizers, acids, and bases producing decomposition products
Conditions to Avoid: High temperatures, direct sunlight, moisture, and contact with incompatibles such as chlorine, peroxides
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen bromide, imidazole by-products
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin and eye contact, ingestion
Acute Toxicity: Limited data; estimated oral LD50 (rat) >2000 mg/kg; not likely to cause acute systemic toxicity at laboratory exposures
Irritation: May cause mild to moderate eye and skin irritation; inhalation of powder may lead to throat and nasal discomfort
Sensitization: No sensitization data available; repeat exposure may enhance risk of irritation
Chronic Effects: Data not available; handle with precautions typical for halogenated organic compounds
Carcinogenicity, Mutagenicity, Reproductive Toxicity: No studies currently demonstrating specific hazard in these categories
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Pre-existing skin, eye, and respiratory conditions may be affected by exposure
Ecotoxicity: Short-term aquatic studies suggest moderate toxicity to aquatic invertebrates and algae
Persistence and Degradability: Compound may persist in aquatic environments; slow biodegradation expected due to imidazolium core
Bioaccumulation: Low expected potential owing to ionic nature and water solubility
Mobility in Soil: Highly mobile in aqueous phase; may leach into groundwater if not properly contained
Other Adverse Effects: Prevent bulk release to surface waters; laboratory effluent treatment recommended before disposal
Safe Disposal: Collect all solid and liquid wastes containing this substance in properly labelled hazardous waste containers
Waste Treatment Methods: Coordinate disposal through licensed chemical waste contractors; incineration or chemical fixation processes preferred
Disposal of Contaminated Packaging: Triple-rinse packaging; treat rinsate as hazardous waste
