Eye Contact: Rinse thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes; remove contact lenses if present; continue rinsing if irritation persists; seek medical attention
Ingestion: Give small amounts of water, do NOT induce vomiting; medical supervision required if adverse health effects occur, such as abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, water spray (use caution with water depending on scenario)
Special Hazards: Product decomposition can produce hazardous gases such as hydrogen fluoride, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur oxides; fumes may irritate mucous membranes
Protective Equipment: Firefighters use self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-resistant protective clothing; keep unaffected containers cool with water spray
Specific Methods: Evacuate area; attempt to contain runoff to prevent release to environment; always isolate fire area when possible
Personal Precautions: Ventilate affected area; keep personnel upwind; use personal protective equipment such as safety goggles, gloves, and chemical-resistant clothing
Environmental Precautions: Avoid release to sewer, surface, or groundwater; contain spill to prevent contamination of environment
Cleanup Methods: Absorb spill with inert materials like vermiculite or sand, then transfer to chemical waste container for proper disposal; cleanse area with water and detergent; avoid dust generation; prevent airborne spread
Safe Handling: Use only in chemical fume hood or well-ventilated workspace; keep container tightly closed; avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing; do not eat, drink, or smoke in work area
Storage Conditions: Store in original container, tightly closed, in cool, dry, well-ventilated space away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers; avoid heat, moisture, and direct sunlight; secure against unauthorized access
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizing agents, acids, alkali compounds; exposure to moisture over time may cause product degradation
Storage Class: Chemical storage, based on local legislation or chemical compatibility charts
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established OSHA or ACGIH exposure limits available; treat as hazardous based on similar chemical profiles and structural analogs
Engineering Controls: Use chemical fume hood; ensure adequate general and local exhaust ventilation
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Chemical splash goggles, face shield, appropriate gloves (nitrile, neoprene, or equivalent), lab coat or apron; for large-scale work, use chemical-resistant boots and suit
Respiratory Protection: For large-scale or poorly ventilated environments, use NIOSH-approved respirator or PAPR; not typically needed under lab-scale fume hood conditions
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly after handling; avoid eating, drinking, or smoking in handling areas; prompt removal of contaminated clothing recommended
Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow liquid or viscous oil (appearance can vary with temperature)
Odor: Slight, amine-like; faint, characteristic chemical odor
Odor Threshold: Data not available due to low volatility
pH: Not applicable (non-aqueous liquid)
Melting Point/Range: -50°C to -35°C (dependent on specific purity)
Boiling Point/Range: >250°C (decomposition may occur before boiling)
Flash Point: >150°C (closed cup), based on ionic liquid class
Evaporation Rate: Negligible
Flammability: Not classified as flammable liquid
Vapor Pressure: Extremely low at ambient temperatures
Vapor Density: Not applicable for practical purposes
Relative Density: 1.2–1.3 g/cm³ (20°C)
Solubility: Limited solubility in water; soluble in organic solvents like acetone, methanol, DMSO
Partition Coefficient (n-octanol/water): Estimated log P ≥ 4 (hydrophobic component tendencies)
Decomposition Temperature: >250°C
Viscosity: Moderate to high, temperature-dependent
Chemical Stability: Chemically stable under recommended conditions for storage and use; shelf life may decrease with exposure to water or UV light
Hazardous Reactions: May react with strong oxidizers to produce dangerous heat and gases; will combust under fire conditions
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, oxidizing agents, alkali metals; avoid unnecessary contact with water and moisture
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Hydrogen fluoride, sulfur oxides, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, nitrogen oxides under thermal decomposition or combustion
Polymerization: Not expected under normal conditions
Acute Toxicity: Precise LD50 data unavailable; based on structural comparison, expected to be of moderate toxicity through ingestion or skin contact
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Causes skin irritation, redness, and discomfort with prolonged or repeated exposure
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: Causes eye redness, watering, pain; risk of conjunctivitis if not promptly managed
Respiratory Sensitization: Vapors or aerosols may irritate upper respiratory tract; symptoms include coughing, throat discomfort
Skin Sensitization: No chronic data available, but repeated exposure can increase risk of dermatitis
Carcinogenicity: Not classified by IARC, NTP, or OSHA due to insufficient data
Reproductive Toxicity: No data available; avoid exposure if pregnant
Summary of Effects: Use care, as chronic health effects not well studied; minimize exposure
Ecotoxicity: Toxic to aquatic organisms, particularly invertebrates and algae; bioaccumulation potential uncertain but should be considered high due to persistence
Persistence and Degradability: Likely to show limited biodegradation in environment; ionic liquids with similar structures resist microbial breakdown
Bioaccumulative Potential: Data unavailable, but molecule's hydrophobicity and stability indicate bioaccumulative traits possible
Mobility in Soil: May adsorb strongly to soil particles, limiting groundwater movement; run-off can carry to aquatic systems
Other Adverse Effects: Avoid uncontrolled release, as presence even at low concentration can disrupt aquatic food webs; waste minimization vital in use
Product Disposal: Treat as hazardous waste; gather into approved waste containers; do not pour into drains, surface water, or soil
Contaminated Packaging: Triple rinse and dispose of through hazardous waste contractor; do not reuse single-use containers
Waste Treatment Methods: Prefer incineration at licensed facility capable of thermal oxidation for organofluorine substances; chemical oxidation for neutralization in some jurisdictions
Additional Disposal Precautions: Comply with all national, regional, and local regulations; keep accurate waste records, and use proper labelling for all containers leaving site for disposal
