Concentration: ≥95%
Impurities: Minor ionic or organic byproducts from manufacturing
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air, allow for easy breathing, seek medical attention if symptoms develop
Skin Contact: Immediately wash with plenty of soap and water, remove contaminated clothing, rinse thoroughly, consult a physician if irritation persists
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses, keep eyelids open, continue to rinse, obtain medical attention if irritation continues
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, avoid inducing vomiting, seek prompt medical care
Acute Symptoms: Burning, irritation, nausea, dizziness, abdominal pain; may cause delayed effects due to fluorinated compound breakdown
Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, alcohol-resistant foam, sand; avoid water jets
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazards: Material may decompose to release hazardous gases including hydrogen fluoride, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides, perfluorinated compounds
Advice for Firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear, avoid inhaling combustion fumes, evacuate area if needed
Flammability: Not flammable under normal conditions, may emit toxic fumes upon heating above decomposition temperature
Protection: Use standard firefighting protocols, ensure thorough decontamination after operation
Personal Precautions: Secure area, ventilate space, evacuate non-essential personnel, use personal protective equipment including gloves, goggles, impervious clothing
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage into sewers or natural water sources, inform authorities in severe discharge cases
Spill Cleanup: Absorb with inert material (sand, silica), gather in suitable containers for disposal, decontaminate surfaces with detergent, avoid creating dust
Disposal: Dispose of through licensed chemical waste contractor; follow local and national regulation
Handling: Work in well-ventilated space, minimize dust or vapor release, avoid contact with skin or eyes, handle with proper PPE (gloves, goggles, apron, mask as needed), avoid eating, drinking, or smoking nearby
Hygiene: Wash thoroughly after handling, change contaminated clothing
Storage: Store in tightly closed original container, keep in cool, dry, well-ventilated area, shield from direct sunlight, segregate from incompatible chemicals (strong oxidizers, acids, bases), avoid moisture contact
Exposure Limits: No official workplace exposure limits established; minimize exposure as best practice
Engineering Controls: Use chemical fume hoods, ensure effective ventilation, implement closed handling wherever possible, apply local exhaust ventilation in high-use scenarios
Personal Protection:
Respiratory: Use NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator if vapor or mist develops
Eye: Chemical safety goggles or full-face shield
Skin: Resistant gloves (nitrile, neoprene), impervious lab coat or apron
Body Protection: Laboratory protective clothing
Other: Emergency eyewash and safety shower accessible in all work areas
Appearance: Clear to pale yellow liquid or crystalline solid, depending on temperature and purity
Odor: Slightly sweet, characteristic
Melting Point: 20–30°C reported as typical
Boiling Point: Not readily volatile; decomposition occurs before boiling
Vapor Pressure: Negligible at room temperature
Solubility: Miscible with common organic solvents, low solubility in water
Density: 1.3–1.4 g/cm³
pH: Not applicable (not water soluble)
Viscosity: Moderate to high for ionic liquids
Flash Point: >150°C (non-volatile)
Decomposition Temperature: Above 200°C, produces hazardous gases
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended conditions of storage and handling (dry, cool, airtight)
Reactivity: Reacts with strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents; incompatibility with moisture which may cause hydrolysis
Hazardous Decomposition: Releases perfluorinated compounds, hydrogen fluoride, sulfur dioxide, carbon oxides under fire or decomposition
Conditions to Avoid: High heat, flame exposure, strong oxidizers and acids, prolonged contact with moisture
Acute Toxicity: Data limited; slight to moderate oral toxicity in animal models, low volatilization risk
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Skin contact causes redness, dryness, irritation
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: Eye contact causes irritation, possible corneal injury
Respiratory Sensitization: Not expected through normal use; dust or vapor inhalation may cause irritation or cough
Chronic Effects: Prolonged or repeated exposure could cause dermatitis or respiratory irritation
Mutagenicity, Carcinogenicity, Reproductive Toxicity: No definitive studies available; handle as potentially hazardous
Ecotoxicity: Persistent in environment, toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in aquatic environments
Persistence/Degradability: Not readily biodegradable; fluoroalkyl components resist environmental breakdown
Bioaccumulation: Potential for bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms
Mobility in Soil: Low, but may persist if released
Other Adverse Effects: Limited data; avoid environmental discharge
Waste Disposal: Send waste to licensed hazardous chemical facility, avoid landfill and water discharge
Container Disposal: Rinse and triple rinse empty containers, treat washings as hazardous waste
Precautions: Do not attempt neutralization unless trained, follow all local and national regulations for disposal, documentation required
UN Number: Not classified as hazardous for transport by most authorities
Transport Hazard Class: Usually non-regulated for air, sea, and road
Packing Group: Not assigned
Label Requirements: Stick to supplier’s advice, use original packaging
Special Transport Precautions: Protect from rough handling, avoid container rupture, secure upright, limit direct temperature extremes
