Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, do not induce vomiting, get medical help right away, provide material safety data to health professionals for suitable treatment
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, or appropriate foam
Hazards from Combustion: Product may release toxic gases such as carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, and hydrogen bromide upon burning
Personal Protective Equipment: Firefighters use self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-resistant clothing
Additional Advice: Cool containers exposed to fire with water spray; avoid inhaling vapors or smoke
Personal Precautions: Wear safety goggles, gloves, and dust mask during any cleanup
Spill Cleanup Methods: Sweep up carefully to avoid dust, place in sealed containers for disposal
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from soaking into soil or entering drains; avoid environmental contamination
Handling Material: Ensure ventilation, avoid generating dust clouds, decontaminate area with water after removal
Handling: Always work in well-ventilated areas, minimize dust formation, keep container sealed when not in use, avoid swallowing or inhaling powder
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas, keep away from incompatible substances including strong oxidizing agents
Container Requirements: Use tight-sealing, labeled containers preferably made of glass or certain plastics known to resist corrosion
Special Considerations: Keep out of reach of children, do not use containers for food or drink storage at any time
Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific OSHA or ACGIH exposure limits for this chemical currently established, good industrial hygiene practices minimize risk
Engineering Controls: Use with fume hood or local exhaust, employer provides eyewash stations and showers
Personal Protection Equipment: Use chemical splash goggles, gloves made of nitrile or latex, and lab coats; respirator suggested for high concentrations
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands, forearms, and face thoroughly after handling; remove contaminated clothing immediately and clean before reuse
Environmental Controls: Limit emissions during use; prevent release to wastewater or sewers
Appearance: White, crystalline powder
Odor: Odorless
Melting Point: Approximately 253–258°C
Boiling Point: Not applicable (decomposes before boiling)
Solubility: Soluble in water, slight solubility in alcohols
Density: 1.31 g/cm³ at 20°C
pH: Approximately 6.5–7.5 (5% aqueous solution)
Vapor Pressure: Not significant at room temperature
Stability: Stable under recommended storage and use conditions
Chemical Stability: Stable under usual laboratory and storage conditions, degrades at high temperature or with prolonged exposure to light and moisture
Reactivity: May react with strong oxidizers or acids, do not combine with halogen-based bleed solutions
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Hydrogen bromide, methylamine, and trace carbon oxides possible during fire or decomposition
Polymerization: Not expected to occur
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin absorption, ingestion, and contact with eyes
Acute Effects: Single exposure may cause burning, stinging, or coughing; ingestion may lead to nausea or gastrointestinal upset
Chronic Effects: Repeated or prolonged contact may trigger dermatitis, respiratory hypersensitivity, or allergic skin reactions in sensitive individuals
Toxicity Data: Limited animal data suggest low acute toxicity, but data do not exclude risks for humans
Carcinogenicity: No evidence found linking compound to carcinogenic effects
Other Health Effects: Existing respiratory disease could worsen upon exposure to dust
Ecotoxicity: Compound shows aquatic toxicity to invertebrates and microorganisms at high concentrations; data indicate potential for harm if released untreated into water systems
Degradability: Biodegradation occurs slowly in typical environments, persistent in soil and water over time
Bioaccumulation: Material unlikely to bioaccumulate significantly due to water solubility
Aquatic Mobility: Moves easily in water, increases risk of groundwater contamination if spilled or disposed improperly
Additional Advice: Avoid further release to the environment, minimize wastewater impact at source
Disposal Methods: Incinerate in a chemical incinerator equipped with afterburner and scrubber; follow local waste management protocols
Packaging Disposal: Triple rinse containers before recycling or disposal, crush or puncture prior to landfill if allowed
Regulatory Waste Codes: Assign appropriate hazardous waste codes under local and national guidelines for quaternary ammonium salts
Precautions: Do not flush in large quantities down sink; avoid release into watercourses or sewage systems
Additional Information: Consult licensed disposal contractor for specific guidance
