Concentration: 99% (by weight)
Impurities: Traces of unreacted starting materials (<1%)
Inhalation: Move to fresh air, keep at rest, seek medical attention if symptoms develop
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash with soap and water, seek medical advice for irritation or allergic reaction
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for at least 15 minutes, remove contact lenses, get medical advice promptly
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, get immediate medical assistance
Symptomatic Treatment: Give oxygen or artificial respiration if breathing is difficult, treat respiratory or skin symptoms as clinically indicated
Suitable Extinguishing Agents: Use water spray, dry chemical, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide
Specific Hazards: May emit toxic gases such as hydrogen fluoride, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and trifluoromethanesulfonyl fluoride during combustion
Advice for Firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, chemical protective clothing, avoid inhalation of thermal decomposition products, keep containers cool with water spray
Firefighting Precautions: Remove ignition sources, dyke runoff to prevent entry to drains or watercourses
Personal Protection: Evacuate unnecessary personnel, ventilate area, put on chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, and protective boots
Environmental Precautions: Prevent release into drains, sewers, soil, and waterways, notify authorities in case of major spillage
Containment and Cleaning: Absorb with inert material like vermiculite or sand, place residue in suitable chemical waste drum, clean spill area with water and non-reactive detergent
Disposal of Contaminated Material: Dispose in line with local environmental regulations and waste management practices
Handling: Wear gloves, goggles, protective clothing; do not breathe mist, vapor, or dust, avoid repeated or prolonged contact; use in well-ventilated areas, keep containers tightly closed when not in use
Storage: Store in corrosion-resistant containers under cool, dry conditions, keep away from direct sunlight, strong acids, bases, and oxidizers
Storage Class: Chemical reagents, follow local chemical storage protocols
Other Notes: Label containers and store apart from incompatible materials, keep out of reach of children and unauthorized personnel
Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific OELs established, minimize exposure to vapors and skin
Engineering Controls: Eyewash stations, safety showers, adequate general or local ventilation
Personal Protection Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), goggles or face shield, lab coat or buttoned long sleeve shirt, chemical apron for large-scale use
Hygiene: Wash hands and face before breaks and after work, do not eat, drink, or smoke near chemicals
Physical State: Colorless to pale yellow liquid
Odor: Mild, slightly sweet
pH: Approximately 6.5 (10% in water)
Melting Point: -10°C
Boiling Point: Decomposes above 210°C
Density: 1.42 g/cm³
Solubility: Highly soluble in water and polar organic solvents
Vapor Pressure: Not measurable at room temperature
Flash Point: >100°C (closed cup)
Autoignition Temperature: Not determined
Viscosity: 110 cP at 25°C
Chemical Stability: Chemically stable at room temperature and recommended storage conditions
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids and bases, oxidizing agents, reducing agents
Conditions to Avoid: High temperatures, exposure to heat sources, sunlight, moisture contamination
Hazardous Decomposition: Hydrofluoric acid, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, trifluoromethanesulfonyl fluoride
Polymerization: Product does not undergo hazardous polymerization
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, ingestion, skin and eye contact
Acute Toxicity: Oral LD50 (rat) estimated 800-1200 mg/kg, may cause gastrointestinal distress
Chronic Toxicity: Prolonged skin contact can trigger sensitization, repeated exposure may cause dryness or cracking
Skin/Eye Irritation: Moderate irritation on direct contact, potential for reversible eye irritation
Respiratory Effects: Inhalation of aerosol or vapor may cause mild respiratory discomfort, coughing
Carcinogenicity: Not listed by IARC, NTP, or OSHA as a carcinogen
Sensitization: Reports of skin sensitization with repeated handling
Aquatic Toxicity: LC50 (96hr, Fish) > 100 mg/L, moderate hazard to aquatic organisms
Persistence and Degradability: Degradable by hydrolysis, not bioaccumulative according to log Kow <3
Bioaccumulation: Predicted low due to high solubility and low partition coefficient
Mobility in Soil: High solubility promotes movement in water systems, potential leaching into groundwater in case of large spill
Other Hazards: No significant ozone depletion potential, not expected to cause long-term ecological damage with responsible handling
Waste Disposal: Follow regional, national, and local environmental regulations, avoid disposal in municipal sewers and natural waterways
Disposal Methods: Chemical incineration in compliance with environmental agency standards; contaminated packaging must be emptied and triple-rinsed, then processed as chemical waste
Recycling/Reclamation: Consult hazardous waste management specialist before attempting recovery or recycling
Landfill Guidance: Avoid disposal by landfill except under approved circumstances with proper liner and leachate protection
UN Number: Not classified as dangerous goods for transport by UN Model Regulations
