Molecular Formula: C10H13N5O4
Molecular Weight: 267.24 g/mol
Impurities: Negligible, not expected to contribute additional hazards under normal laboratory conditions
Ingredient List: No hazardous stabilizers or additives present
Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air; seek medical attention if respiratory symptoms develop
Skin Contact: Wash area with soap and water; remove contaminated clothing; seek medical advice if irritation persists
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for at least 15 minutes; remove contact lenses if present and easy to do; seek medical care if irritation continues
Ingestion: Rinse mouth; seek medical advice if any discomfort occurs; never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person
Symptoms and Effects: May experience mild irritation, redness, or transient discomfort; prolonged exposure rarely causes pronounced effects
Recommendations for Medical Attention: Treat symptoms; supportive care as needed based on exposure and clinical judgment
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, or water spray; foam can be used for larger fires
Unsuitable Media: None expected for this material
Special Hazards: Thermal decomposition releases nitrogen oxides and carbon oxides; dust in air may present minimal explosion risk in confined spaces
Firefighter Protection: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing; avoid inhalation of combustion byproducts
Firefighting Procedures: Move containers away from fire area if safely possible; avoid run-off entering drains and water sources; control firefighting water
Personal Precautions: Avoid generating dust; use respiratory protection if dust becomes airborne; prevent skin and eye contact
Environmental Precautions: Prevent large quantities from entering drains, groundwater, or surface water systems; report spills to authorities as required
Methods for Clean-Up: Sweep up material with care to avoid dust formation; collect in clearly labeled containers for disposal; wash spill area with water
Decontamination: Clean equipment and surfaces with water; ensure adequate ventilation in affected area
Handling: Work in a well-ventilated area; use local exhaust if dust formation occurs; avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing; wash hands after use; no eating, drinking, or smoking in work area
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed container; keep in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated space; protect from moisture and incompatible substances; store away from oxidizing agents
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, strong acids
Storage Temperature: Room temperature, ideally between 2-8°C to maintain stability
Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limits specified
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust or general ventilation to maintain airborne concentrations below recommended limits
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety glasses with side shields or goggles; chemical-resistant gloves; laboratory coat or apron; use dust mask if ventilation is inadequate or if dust becomes airborne
Hygiene Measures: Avoid direct contact; wash thoroughly after handling; change contaminated clothing
Environmental Controls: Minimize release to environment; maintain spill control equipment in work area
