Inhalation: Remove person to fresh air. Seek medical attention for symptoms like coughing, breathing difficulty, or irritation.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with running water for at least 15 minutes. See a healthcare provider for persistent irritation or burns.
Eye Contact: Flush with plenty of lukewarm water for 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Remove contact lenses if present and easy. Immediate medical evaluation is strongly recommended.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Get immediate medical help.
Symptom Notes: Burning, redness, swelling, pain, blisters, tearing or swelling of the eyes, trouble in breathing
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide. Water spray can help cool surfaces.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Avoid full water jets that could spread product
Hazards from Combustion: Produces phosphorus oxides, hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide and dioxide
Special Protective Equipment: For firefighting, use self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear.
Firefighting Instructions: Keep fire-exposed containers cool. Prevent run-off from entering drains or water sources. Ventilate the area after fire.
Personal Precautions: Ventilate area. Wear gloves, goggles, and protective clothing. Avoid skin and eye contact.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry to waterways, drainage, or soil. Avoid releases to the environment.
Cleanup Methods: Use inert absorbent (sand, earth, vermiculite). Collect residue for disposal in sealed, labeled containers. Wash the spill site when finished. Stop the leak if safe and possible.
Reference to Other Sections: See sections on personal protection and disposal
Precautions for Safe Handling: Work in well-ventilated areas. Avoid inhaling vapors and direct contact with skin and eyes. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment at all times. Do not eat, drink, or smoke near this chemical.
Storage Requirements: Keep containers tightly closed. Store in dry, cool, well-ventilated areas, away from incompatible materials such as oxidizers or acids. Label containers clearly. Protect from moisture and minimize static discharge. Keep away from food and beverages.
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust or general ventilation. Use closed systems if feasible.
Eye Protection: Chemical splash goggles and face shield
Skin Protection: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile, neoprene), long sleeves, laboratory coat
Respiratory Protection: NIOSH-approved respirator during high concentration exposure or accidental release
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. No eating, drinking, or smoking during use.

Ecotoxicity: Harmful to aquatic organisms, especially invertebrates and algae
Persistence and Degradability: Expected to degrade slowly in the environment
Bioaccumulative Potential: Not fully evaluated, but long hydrophobic chains may suggest moderate potential
Mobility in Soil: Limited; binds to soil particles due to cationic nature
Other Adverse Effects: Disruption of water treatment systems and natural microbial populations in spills
Waste Disposal: Treat as hazardous waste in accordance with local, regional, and national regulations
Container Disposal: Rinse and triple-rinse containers before recycling or disposal. Do not reuse empty drums.
Sewage Disposal: Avoid releases to wastewater or drains
Legal Considerations: Consult licensed hazardous waste contractor for large quantities. Confirm compliance with environmental standards.
