Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Strong water jet may spread chemical
Specific Hazards: Vapors can form explosive mixtures with air, fire releases toxic nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide
Protective Equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Firefighting Procedures: Prevent runoff from entering water supplies, use water spray to cool containers exposed to fire
Personal Precautions: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, avoid inhaling vapors
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from reaching drains or waterways, use dikes to contain large spills
Methods for Cleanup: Soak up with inert absorbent materials, shovel into suitable containers for disposal, ventilate affected area,
wash spill site after material removal,
notify responsible authorities if significant environmental release occurs
Handling: Work in well-ventilated areas, minimize exposure through use of gloves and goggles, avoid formation of vapor clouds,
maintain good personal hygiene practices
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, and well-ventilated spaces, keep container tightly closed, store away from strong acids,
oxidizers, and sources of ignition
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, strong oxidizing agents, materials sensitive to amines or organic bases
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits, monitor workplace air for vapor levels
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, fume hoods in laboratories, closed systems, or process enclosures
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile), safety goggles or face shield, laboratory coats or aprons,
adequate respiratory protection in poorly ventilated areas
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before eating, drinking, or smoking, remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse,
do not eat or drink near chemical work area

Chemical Stability: Stable under recommenced handling and storage conditions
Hazardous Reactions: May react with acids, acid chlorides, and oxidizing agents
Conditions to Avoid: Contact with strong oxidizers, exposure to extreme temperatures, open flames
Decomposition Products: Under fire conditions, produces nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide,
possible small molecules of organic origin
Acute Toxicity: LD50 Oral (rat): 910 mg/kg
Inhalation: Vapors cause respiratory irritation, headaches, or dizziness at higher concentrations
Skin Contact: Irritating to skin, repeated exposure may cause dermatitis
Eye Contact: Causes serious eye irritation, pain, redness, possible corneal injury with severe exposure
Chronic Effects: Prolonged or repeated exposure may damage liver, kidneys, or central nervous system
Carcinogenicity: No data suggesting carcinogenic effects in humans
Mutagenicity: No known mutagenic effects in tested systems
Sensitization: Not a known skin sensitizer, though all amines can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals
Aquatic Toxicity: Harmful to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in aquatic environment
Persistence and Degradability: Expected to be biodegradable, breaks down in sewer treatment plants under aerobic conditions
Bioaccumulative Potential: Low, due to high water solubility and rapid microbial degradation
Mobility in Soil: High mobility, risk of leaching to groundwater if released
Other Adverse Effects: Product can alter water pH, affecting aquatic life
Waste Treatment Methods: Dispose through licensed chemical disposal contractor, incinerate under controlled conditions
if approved
Contaminated Packaging: Empty containers fully, rinse with water, send to approved drum reconditioner or recycler,
label as hazardous chemical waste
