Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, CO2, water spray, alcohol-resistant foam
Unsuitable Media: Strong water jet (may spread spillage)
Specific Hazards: Decomposition may release corrosive and toxic fumes: hydrogen fluoride, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides
Protective Equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus, full protection suit
Advice for Firefighters: Evacuate unnecessary personnel, limit inhalation of vapors; cool containers exposed to flames with water
Fire/Explosion Data: Not considered highly flammable but may create hazardous atmospheres at high temperatures
Personal Precautions: Use full protective clothing including gloves, goggles, lab coat, and respiratory protection if ventilation inadequate
Environmental Precautions: Avoid runoff to drains or surface water; contain spill with inert absorbent material
Cleanup Methods: Ventilate area; absorb with sand or inert material; scoop up in sealed chemical container; clean area thoroughly with water
Disposal: Dispose via licensed chemical waste contractor; consult local regulations for classified waste
Prevention: Maintain containment to minimize risk of spread during routine work
Handling: Limit direct exposure; utilize extraction ventilation or fume hood; avoid creating dust or aerosol; minimize accumulation of product outside closed systems
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry place in tightly sealed original container, away from light, flames, strong bases, oxidizers, and incompatible metals
Temperature Sensitivity: Optimal stability below 25°C; keep from freezing or overheating
Storage Compatibility: Keep away from acids, alkalis, hydrochloric acid, moisture
Additional Advice: Ensure label is intact; restrict access to qualified personnel only
Engineering Controls: Use local fume extraction; general laboratory ventilation required
Personal Protection: Lab coat, impermeable gloves (nitrile suggested), chemical splash goggles; use P2 or N95 respirator if airborne concentration possible
Workplace Exposure Limits: No assigned TLV or PEL; control occupational exposure below discomfort threshold
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before eating or leaving lab; remove work clothes prior to breaks or shift end
Environmental Exposure Controls: Prevent entry to drains or environmental waterways

Solubility: Readily soluble in water, acetonitrile, some alcohols
Density: 1.25 – 1.31 g/cm3 at 25°C
Viscosity: Moderate, varies with temperature
Flash Point: Not determined, but high compared with common solvents
Evaporation Rate: Low
Partition Coefficient: Not established
Decomposition: Releases HF, SO2 above 300°C
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage; degrades with strong acids, bases, light, heat

Hazardous Reactions: Vigorous reaction with strong oxidizers, alkali metals
Conditions to Avoid: Sunlight, moisture, sources of ignition, contact with strong acids/bases
Hazardous Decomposition: Hydrogen fluoride, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide/dioxide
Acute Toxicity Data: No specific LD50 data for this compound; ionic liquid analogs typically considered low acute oral toxicity to rodents
Skin Irritation: May cause redness, dryness, or blistering on prolonged contact
Eye Irritation: Causes severe irritation, watering, and potential for reversible injury
Inhalation: Expected to be low risk in controlled use, but high concentrations may lead to cough and mucous membrane discomfort
Chronic Effects: Long-term exposure not fully tested; structural similarities to toxic substances mean reproductive and developmental risks cannot be dismissed
Carcinogenicity: Data are currently inconclusive; not listed in IARC or NTP lists
Additional Toxicological Remarks: Handle as potentially harmful; limited epidemiological data, so extra precaution is justified
Aquatic Toxicity: Data limited; ionic liquids, depending on structure, may cause harm to aquatic organisms
Persistence and Degradability: Likely slow to degrade in environment; may resist biological breakdown due to strong chemical bonds
Bioaccumulation Potential: Unknown; professional judgement indicates low likelihood of major accumulation due to high solubility, but absence of confirmed information
Mobility in Soil: Tends to leach through soil due to water solubility
Other Adverse Effects: Prevent uncontrolled release to natural environments until more robust ecological data exists
Waste Disposal: Collect in clearly labeled hazardous waste drums; transfer to approved disposal facility
Contaminated Packaging: Rinse with water, then dispose as hazardous chemical waste
Special Precautions: Incineration by licensed waste handler preferred for destruction; follow regional and national guidelines
Regulatory Compliance: Align disposal practices with local, national, and international laws on hazardous chemical management
