Special Hazards: May emit toxic fumes under fire, such as hydrogen fluoride, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Special Procedures: Avoid inhalation of combustion gases, keep containers cool with water spray. Prevent runoff from entering drains
Personal Precautions: Evacuate non-essential personnel, ventilate area, avoid dust formation. Wear appropriate PPE: gloves, safety goggles, lab coat, suitable respirator
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if it can be done safely. Avoid discharge into drains, surface water, groundwater
Methods for Clean-Up: Absorb with inert material (sand, silica, vermiculite), sweep up and collect in suitable, labeled containers for disposal. Wash spill area with copious water
Handling: Handle in a chemical fume hood or well-ventilated area. Minimize contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Prevent formation of aerosols or dust. Clean-up spills promptly using standardized procedures
Storage: Keep container tightly closed. Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Protect from heat, sunlight, and moisture. Recommended storage temperature below 25°C. Keep away from strong oxidizers and acids
Engineering Controls: Use only in fume hood or with local exhaust ventilation. Install eyewash fountain and safety shower in work area
Eye/Face Protection: Chemical safety goggles or face shield
Skin Protection: Nitrile or neoprene gloves, long-sleeved lab coat, closed-toe shoes
Respiratory Protection: Suitable respirator if aerosol or dust is generated
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before breaks and at end of workday. Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse
Appearance: Liquid or crystalline solid (depends on temperature and purity), colorless to pale yellow
Odor: Faintly sweet or amine-like

Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions
Possibility of Hazardous Reactions: No dangerous reactions known under normal conditions
Conditions to Avoid: Heat, sunlight, moisture, sources of ignition
Materials to Avoid: Strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, strong bases
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Hydrogen fluoride, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid vapors
Acute Toxicity: Low acute toxicity via oral, dermal, and inhalation routes, but not well studied in humans. Animal studies point to moderate irritation
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Causes irritation on prolonged or repeated contact
Eye Damage/Irritation: Causes severe irritation and possible damage
Respiratory Sensitization: May irritate mucous membranes and upper respiratory system
Skin Sensitization: Possible risk with chronic exposure
Chronic Toxicity: Not fully evaluated
Carcinogenicity: No data available to suggest carcinogenic potential
Reproductive Toxicity: No available significant information
Mutagenicity: No definitive mutagenic potential observed
Medical Conditions Aggravated: May aggravate existing skin, eye, or respiratory conditions
Ecotoxicity: Data on aquatic toxicity are limited; possible adverse effects on aquatic life due to high solubility and persistence
Persistence and Degradability: Likely persistent, may not biodegrade readily
Bioaccumulative Potential: No significant potential expected due to low partition coefficient
Mobility in Soil: Likely to have high mobility in water and soil, due to ionic character and solubility
Other Adverse Effects: Discharge into the environment should be avoided; consult local regulations for more detailed environmental impact
