Chemical Name: N-Hexyl-N-Methylpiperidinium Bis((Trifluoromethyl)Sulfonyl)Imide
CAS Number: 417015-36-0
Concentration: >95% by weight
Impurities: Trace contaminants (undisclosed, check with supplier for specifics)
Eye Contact: Rinse thoroughly with running water for at least 15 minutes, lifting eyelids; seek medical attention if irritation lingers
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, rinse skin with soap and water; see doctor if redness or irritation persists
Inhalation: Move to fresh air, keep warm and at rest, seek medical help in case of breathing difficulty, coughing, or dizziness
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, do not force vomiting, call poison control or a physician
Acute Symptoms: Burning sensation on skin; redness in eyes; cough or shortness of breath
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide
Special Hazards: Decomposition may release toxic gases including nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, hydrogen fluoride, carbon oxides
Fire Fighting Instructions: Wear full protective gear and self-contained breathing apparatus; stay upwind to avoid fumes; contain run-off water to prevent entry into waterways
Explosion Risk: No known explosive risk under normal conditions, but containers exposed to fire may burst
Personal Precautions: Put on protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, lab coat
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage from reaching sewers, drains, or waterways
Cleanup Methods: Soak up the spill with inert absorbent (e.g., sand, diatomaceous earth), collect in suitable containers for disposal; ventilate area thoroughly; wash the spill site after removal
Disposal: Place waste in a chemical-safe container with appropriate labeling for hazardous waste
Safe Handling: Use in fume hood or well-ventilated space; avoid breathing dust, vapor, or mist; wrap up handling by washing hands and removing contaminated clothing
Storage Conditions: Keep container tightly closed in a cool, dry, ventilated place away from strong acids, bases, oxidizers; avoid direct sunlight and moisture
Incompatible Materials: Oxidizers, acids, bases, avoid mixing with strong reducing or oxidizing agents
Exposure Limits: Not established for N-Hexyl-N-Methylpiperidinium Bis((Trifluoromethyl)Sulfonyl)Imide
Engineering Controls: Laboratory fume hood, mechanical ventilation
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile recommended), splash goggles or safety glasses, laboratory coat, use of respirator when ventilation is insufficient
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before breaks and after handling; do not eat, drink, or smoke during use
Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow liquid
Odor: Mild, characteristic
Melting Point: -41°C
Boiling Point: Decomposes before boiling
Flash Point: Not easily flammable
Solubility: Miscible with organic solvents, slightly soluble in water
Vapor Pressure: Low
Relative Density: Approx. 1.38 g/cm3 at 20°C
pH: Not applicable (nonaqueous)
Viscosity: Moderate (varies with temperature)
Chemical Stability: Stable in normal laboratory conditions
Conditions to Avoid: Extreme heat, direct sunlight, moisture
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, acids, bases
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, carbon oxides, hydrogen fluoride, toxic fluorinated compounds
Polymerization: No dangerous polymerization expected
Routes of Exposure: Skin contact, eye contact, inhalation, ingestion
Acute Effects: Irritation to eyes, skin, respiratory tract; may cause headache, dizziness on inhalation; nausea and discomfort if swallowed
Chronic Effects: Data for long-term effects limited; similar ionic liquids have indicated potential for skin sensitization; evidence in animal studies is rare but not nonexistent
LD50/LC50: Specific values not available; similar compounds show moderate toxicity in rodents
Target Organs: Eyes, skin, respiratory system
Carcinogenicity: Not classified based on current knowledge
Ecotoxicity: Acute toxicity to aquatic life is possible; studies show ionic liquids may be harmful to fish and invertebrates at low ppm levels
Persistence and Degradability: Not readily biodegradable; likely to persist under standard environmental conditions
Bioaccumulative Potential: Moderate due to fluorinated groups
Mobility in Soil: Can migrate through soil and reach groundwater; affinity increases with organic content
Other Adverse Effects: Fluorinated sulfonimide salts resist breakdown, so avoid release into stormwater drains or open environment
Methods of Disposal: Incinerate in a chemical incinerator with afterburner and scrubber; follow local regulations for hazardous chemical waste
Container Disposal: Empty containers pose hazards; triple rinse, then puncture and manage as hazardous waste
Contaminated Packaging: Use approved bins, clearly label waste containers, do not reuse packaging
Recycling: Not recommended for this compound; no suitable process
UN Number: Not classified as dangerous for transport
Transport Risk Class: Does not match standard dangerous goods classifications
Proper Shipping Name: Chemical, N.O.S. (not otherwise specified), by air or road
Packing Group: None assigned
Environmental Hazards: Not classified as marine pollutant under IMDG, but recommend proper containment
Special Precautions: Avoid container breakage; follow standard practices for laboratory chemical shipment
US Regulations: Not listed under TSCA, SARA 313, Section 302, or CERCLA
EU Regulations: Not on the REACH candidate list; not classified under CLP Regulation; local workplace restrictions may still apply
Other National Laws: Must verify with each country's chemical inventory
Labeling Requirements: GHS-compliant labeling with hazard warning and pictograms
Chemical Safety Assessment: Not conducted in most companies; standard laboratory training and chemical management apply
