Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, keep comfortable for breathing, seek medical advice if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Wash area with plenty of water and soap, remove contaminated clothing, seek medical attention if irritation persists
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes gently with water for 10-15 minutes, remove contact lenses if present and easy to do, seek medical care if irritation continues
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, do not induce vomiting, seek immediate medical attention if large quantities ingested or symptoms develop
Acute Symptoms: Redness, irritation, discomfort, nausea, headache from vapor
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: High-pressure water streams
Special Hazards: Forms hazardous decomposition products under fire conditions such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus, chemical-resistant clothing
Advice: Control runoff water to prevent environmental contamination, use water spray to cool containers exposed to fire
Personal Precautions: Wear protective gloves, goggles, apron to prevent skin and eye contact
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage from reaching drains, watercourses, or soil
Cleanup Methods: Absorb spill with inert material such as sand or earth, collect waste in sealable container for disposal
Decontamination: Wash spill area thoroughly with water and detergent after material removal
Ventilation: Use local exhaust or open windows to remove vapors and fumes during cleanup
Disposal: Dispose of contaminated material as industrial waste consistent with local regulations
Handling: Avoid skin and eye contact, use in well-ventilated area, never eat, drink, or smoke during use
Storage: Store in tightly closed original container, dry, cool, and well-ventilated environment away from direct sunlight
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, strong oxidizing agents, avoid contact with copper or copper alloys
Recommendation: Use secondary containment for storage tanks, label containers clearly, ensure emergency eyewash stations nearby
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established threshold limit values for product; follow safe industry practices
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation where appropriate, provide access to emergency eyewash and safety shower
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or latex), splash goggles, lab coat or apron
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before eating or after handling material, remove contaminated clothing before breaks
Respiratory Protection: Use an approved respirator if exposure to vapor or mist cannot be controlled
Appearance: Yellow to amber viscous liquid
Odor: Faint amine or fatty acid odor
pH (1% solution): 6.0 - 8.0
Boiling Point: Over 200°C (estimated, may vary)
Melting Point: Below 10°C
Solubility in Water: Dispersible, forms stable emulsions
Specific Gravity: 0.95 - 1.05 (at 20°C)
Flash Point: Greater than 150°C (Cleveland open cup)
Vapor Pressure: Negligible at room temperature
Viscosity: High, depending on specific formulation
Decomposition Temperature: Above 220°C
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal conditions of storage and use
Incompatibilities: Strong alkalis, strong oxidizing agents, mineral acids
Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, small amounts of hydrocarbons
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur under recommended handling procedures
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, sources of ignition, prolonged exposure to open air
Expected Acute Toxicity: Oral LD50 (rat) above 1,500 mg/kg based on available analogs; limited skin absorption toxicity
Primary Irritation: Eyes and skin irritation possible on contact, redness, stinging, dermatitis with repeated exposure
Sensitization: No known reports of respiratory or skin sensitization
Chronic Effects: No evidence for carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, or reproductive toxicity in available studies
Inhalation Risk: Low vapor hazard under normal use, mists may cause mild respiratory tract irritation
Ingestion Hazard: Harmful in large amounts, typical doses do not yield severe symptoms
Medical Conditions Aggravated: Existing skin disorders, respiratory allergies
Environmental Fate: Readily biodegradable under aerobic conditions, slower under anaerobic conditions
Aquatic Toxicity: Low to moderate toxicity to aquatic organisms (EC50 values typically in the range of tens to low hundreds mg/L)
Bioaccumulation: No significant potential based on surfactant properties
Soil Mobility: Expected to bind moderately to soil, no widespread leaching risk
Persistence: Does not persist under aerobic biodegradation, breaks down to benign fatty acids and amines
Avoidance: Prevent large releases to water bodies, aquatic environments, or soil
Waste Management: Treat as industrial chemical waste, consult relevant regulations for hazardous waste classification
Methods: Incineration in approved facilities or controlled biological treatment are preferred methods based on quantity
