Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, alcohol-resistant foam, water spray
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not direct water jet onto burning product
Specific Hazards: Releases toxic fumes under combustion, including hydrogen chloride, nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides
Protective Equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing
Advice for Fire-Fighters: Move containers from fire if safely possible. Cool container with water spray from a distance. Avoid breathing combustion vapors.
Personal Precautions: Limit access to affected area. Use personal protective equipment—nitrile gloves, safety goggles, lab coat or coveralls, dust mask if powder is present.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent discharge into soil, drains, sewers, or waterways. Collect leaks or spills with absorbent material.
Methods for Clean-Up: Scoop solid with non-sparking tools. Sweep up into suitable container for disposal. Ventilate area well. Wash contaminated surfaces with soapy water, using absorbents to collect run-off.
Reporting Requirements: Notify responsible authorities if larger releases impact safety or enter environment.
Handling: Use only in a chemical fume hood or well-ventilated setting. Do not breathe dust. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Prevent static charge buildup.
Storage Conditions: Store tightly closed in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials (e.g., strong acids, oxidizing agents). Keep out of direct sunlight and moisture. Use corrosion-resistant shelving.
Specific End Uses: For professional, laboratory, or industrial synthesis procedures. Restrict to trained personnel.
Control Parameters: No established exposure limits for this specific compound; follow good laboratory hygiene practices.
Engineering Controls: Chemical fume hood and local exhaust recommended. Use splash shields if working with solutions.
Personal Protective Equipment: Nitrile gloves, safety goggles or glasses with side shields, chemical-resistant lab coat or disposable coveralls. For bulk work, use NIOSH-approved respirator suitable for particulates or vapors.
Hygiene Measures: No food, drink, or smoking near chemical. Wash hands after handling and before meals. Keep contaminated work clothing away from other garments.

Solubility: Soluble in water, miscible with alcohols, insoluble in hydrocarbons
Vapor Pressure: Negligible at room temperature
Relative Density: Approx. 1.07 g/cm³
Other Properties: Hygroscopic, may absorb moisture from atmosphere
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended conditions, moisture may accelerate degradation.
Reactivity: Reacts with strong oxidizing agents, strong acids (releases toxic gas)
Hazardous Reactions: Thermal decomposition releases toxic gases including HCl, nitrogen oxides.
Conditions to Avoid: High temperature, humid air, open flames, incompatible materials.
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, strong bases, oxidizing agents, moisture.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Hydrogen chloride, methylamines, butylamines, carbon oxides
Acute Toxicity: No official LD50 data. May cause moderate irritation to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes.
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin absorption, ingestion, eye contact
Effects of Exposure: Irritation, redness, coughing, shortness of breath, headache, digestive discomfort if ingested
Chronic Toxicity: Not enough studies for long-term effects; handle as potentially harmful
Target Organs: Skin, eyes, respiratory tract
Carcinogenicity: Not classified as carcinogen by IARC, NTP, or OSHA.
Sensitization: Not expected but good to monitor for any skin reaction after repeated exposure
Eco-toxicity: No direct studies, structurally similar quaternary ammonium compounds may show toxicity to aquatic life with long-term effects
Persistence and Degradability: Expected to be poorly biodegradable in natural environmental conditions
Bioaccumulation Potential: Low bioaccumulation evidence for similar ionic compounds
Mobility in Soil: Likely to remain in upper layers due to ionic nature, minimal leaching
Other Adverse Effects: Avoid uncontrolled environmental release, report significant spillage near water bodies or soil
