Protective Equipment: Wear full protective gear including self-contained breathing apparatus
Special Instructions: Cool nearby containers with water spray, avoid run-off into drains, ventilate area after fire
Personal Precautions: Wear appropriate personal protection (gloves, goggles, protective clothing), prevent unprotected entry
Environmental Precautions: Prevent from entering drains, sewers, surface waters by using barriers
Cleanup Methods: Collect spilled substance using a scoop or suitable absorbent material, clean residues with water and detergent
Disposal: Place waste into suitable, labelled waste container for proper disposal according to local regulations
Reference to Other Sections: Use exposure controls and personal protection as outlined in section 8
Handling: Avoid generating dust, use in well-ventilated areas, avoid direct skin and eye contact, wash thoroughly after use
Storage: Store in tightly closed containers away from sunlight, incompatible materials (strong oxidizers), and out of reach of children
Storage Temperature: Room temperature (15–25°C) away from sources of heat and ignition
Packaging: Use approved, labeled containers resistant to chemical contents, with robust seals
Incompatible Materials: Do not store with strong acids, bases or oxidizing agents
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established limits for this substance, general dust limits apply
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust or general room ventilation for powder handling
Personal Protective Equipment: Protective gloves (nitrile or PVC), safety goggles, lab coats
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before breaks and after handling, do not eat, drink, or smoke in work areas
Respiratory Protection: Use particle mask if ventilation insufficient or during large spills
Appearance: Oily liquid, pale yellow
Odor: Slight, characteristic
Physical State: Liquid at room temperature
Melting Point: Below 25°C
Boiling Point: 295–310°C
Solubility: Insoluble in water, soluble in organic solvents such as alcohols and oils
Density: Around 0.98–1.02 g/cm³ at 20°C
Vapor Pressure: Very low at room temperature
Flash Point: Above 190°C (closed cup)
Partition Coefficient (log Kow): Estimated around 5
pH: Not applicable (non-aqueous nature)
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage and handling conditions
Reactivity: Does not react dangerously at normal conditions
Hazardous Reactions: Contact with strong oxidizers releases toxic fumes
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, open flames, incompatible materials
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides formed during fire or thermal decomposition
Acute Toxicity: Generally low acute oral toxicity; LD50 (oral, rat) estimated > 4000 mg/kg
Skin Irritation: May cause slight irritation after prolonged contact
Eye Irritation: Causes mild to moderate irritation
Inhalation Risks: Low volatility means inhalation risk limited to dust generation with dried product
Chronic Effects: No known long-term health effects at typical exposure levels, library reviews show low sensitization risk
Other Information: Not classified as carcinogenic or mutagenic by IARC, ACGIH, OSHA, NTP
Ecotoxicity: Moderate toxicity to aquatic life based on structurally similar compounds
Persistence and Degradability: Not readily biodegradable; can persist in soils and sediments
Bioaccumulation: Likely to bioaccumulate due to hydrophobicity (high log Kow)
Mobility in Soil: Low water solubility limits movement in groundwater, binds to soils
Other Adverse Effects: Avoid releases into the environment, as accumulation may cause long-term effects in aquatic systems
Waste Treatment Methods: Dispose of in compliance with local, national, or regional regulations
Contaminated Packaging: Rinse containers prior to disposal, dispose of containers as hazardous waste
Recommended Disposal: Incinerate in licensed facility or send to chemical waste landfill, do not release to sewers or surface waters
Precautions: Minimize waste generation, re-use or recycle if possible
