Impurities and Stabilizing Additives: Trace mineral acids (sulfonic residues possible from synthesis).
Inhalation: Remove person to fresh air. Give oxygen if breathing difficulty persists. Seek medical attention for prolonged exposure symptoms.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Rinse skin under running water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical consultation for irritation or allergic reaction.
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, continue rinsing. If irritation persists, obtain medical advice.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Give water to dilute. Get medical attention if large amounts are ingested or symptoms develop.
Notes for Physicians: Treat symptomatically; support respiratory and cardiovascular functions.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, or alcohol-resistant foam.
Unsuitable Media: High-pressure water streams may cause spattering.
Special Hazards: Decomposition may produce hazardous fumes including oxides of sulfur and nitrogen, possible carbon monoxide and dioxide.
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to avoid direct contact.
Additional Information: Prevent fire-fighting runoff from entering waterways. Avoid inhaling combustion gases.
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel. Equip responders with suitable respiratory and dermal protection.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry to drains, water courses, or underground water sources. Notify responsible authorities if significant spill occurs.
Methods for Cleanup: Use inert absorbent materials for small spills. Shovel solid into chemical waste containers. Ventilate area. Dispose according to section 13.
Decontamination: Wash contaminated surface with soap and large amounts of water.
Precautions for Safe Handling: Minimize dust generation. Use only with adequate ventilation. Do not eat, drink, or smoke near product.
Safe Storage Conditions: Store in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Keep away from strong oxidizers and bases. Avoid direct sunlight. Label clearly.
Incompatibilities: Segregate from reactive chemicals such as oxidizing agents and strong alkalis.
Hygiene Practices: Thoroughly wash hands after handling. Remove contaminated clothing before entering eating areas.
Exposure Limits: No specific OSHA PEL or ACGIH TLV values established.
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust and general room ventilation. Use fume hoods for laboratory-scale handling.
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves, safety glasses with side-shields, and lab coats. Use NIOSH-approved respirators for dusty work or high quantities.
Environmental Controls: Install containment measures for solutions/spills near sensitive environments.
Physical State: Solid powder
Color: White to off-white

pH (1% Solution): Slightly acidic (approximately 2.5–3.5)
Vapor Pressure: Negligible at room temperature
Density: ~1.7 g/cm³
Partition Coefficient: Not determined
Boiling Point: Not applicable (decomposes)
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions.
Conditions to Avoid: Exposure to moisture, excess heat, open flames.
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers (peroxides, chlorates), strong bases.
Hazardous Decomposition: Sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, irritating residues.
Polymerization: No known hazardous polymerization under normal storage and use.
Acute Toxicity: Data not fully established; related compounds show low to moderate toxicity. Not classified as acutely toxic based on current animal testing.
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, ingestion, dermal, ocular contact.
Symptoms: Irritation of skin, mucous membranes, possible gastrointestinal disturbances.
Chronic Effects: No long-term toxicity data; continued unprotected exposure could lead to sensitization.
Carcinogenicity, Mutagenicity, Reproductive Toxicity: No current evidence to show carcinogenicity or mutagenic effects.
Environmental Impact: Expected to degrade slowly in soil and water. Has potential to acidify aquatic environments.
Aquatic Toxicity: Limited fish and invertebrate toxicity data available. Avoid contamination of water bodies.
Persistence and Degradability: Compound is expected to degrade with time but process may be slow under anaerobic conditions.
Bioaccumulation Potential: Not expected to bioaccumulate significantly.
Mobility in Soil: High solubility in water suggests mobility through soil, but binding potential is present for clays and organic matter.
Disposal Methods: Dispose of through a licensed chemical waste contractor. Follow federal, state, and local regulations.
Contaminated Containers: Rinse thoroughly, then recycle or dispose of as hazardous waste.
Special Precautions: Do not dispose of into surface water, sewers, or household waste. Minimize generation of waste by using product efficiently.
UN Number: Not regulated by land, air, or sea transport under current standards.
