Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Get medical attention for breathing difficulties or prolonged discomfort. Remove from source of dust or aerosol exposure and keep at rest if symptoms develop.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, flush area with water and mild soap. Persistent irritation or redness warrants medical assessment.
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes thoroughly with lukewarm water for at least 15 minutes, separating eyelids. Contact medical personnel if irritation continues.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting unless advised. Seek prompt medical attention if a large amount is ingested or symptoms appear.
Signs & Symptoms: Coughing, redness, rash, sore throat, nausea, or headache may signal overexposure.
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide for extinguishing. Spray at base of flames to reduce re-ignition risk.
Special Hazards: Combustion generates carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, possible organic fume hazards
Advice for Firefighters: Wear full protective gear and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Explosion Risk: No explosion hazard under normal handling, though dust may form explosive mixtures with air in rare circumstances.
Precautions: Contain runoff. Avoid inhalation of vapor or combustion byproducts; isolate area if possible.
Personal Precautions: Use dust mask or respirator, chemical splash goggles, and gloves for all cleanup activities. Avoid inhaling or touching spillage.
Protective Equipment: Use non-sparking tools and grounded equipment if sweeping or vacuuming powder.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, surface water, or soil; report large spills to environmental authorities.
Cleanup Methods: Collect with dampened absorbent material or vacuum with HEPA filter. Place debris in labeled, sealable container for disposal. Ventilate area liberally after material removal.
Decontamination: Clean surfaces with water and mild detergent. Dispose of cleaning residues safely.
Safe Handling: Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Remain mindful of personal hygiene. Operate under a fume hood or similar extractive ventilation for procedures likely to create dust or vapor.
Compatible Materials: Avoid contact with strong oxidizers or acids; store away from heat sources. Use only with those substances approved by chemical hygiene supervisor.
Storage Conditions: Keep in tightly closed, clearly labeled containers at 2-8°C (refrigerated storage recommended for bulk stock). Shield from sunlight, moisture, and humidity.
Storage Area: Use dedicated chemical storage cabinets with limited access. Area should be dry, clean, and ventilated.
Special Practices: Maintain accurate inventory and use secondary containment to prevent environmental escape.
Engineering Controls: Use enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, or fume hood to reduce airborne dust. Regularly check and maintain ventilation systems.
Exposure Limits: No established OSHA/NIOSH/ACGIH limits for this substance; seek occupational physician’s guidance for threshold levels.
Personal Protective Equipment: Wear chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or butyl rubber preferred), lab coat, protective eyewear (safety glasses or goggles), and NIOSH-approved respirator if ventilation inadequate.
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands and exposed skin before breaks and after handling. Store lab clothing separately. Prohibit eating, drinking, or smoking in handling area.
Environmental Controls: Employ HEPA filters on exhausts; monitor for releases using workplace air sampling, particularly during bulk transfers or weigh-outs.
Appearance: White to light beige crystalline powder or solid, non-volatile
Odor: Odorless or faint organic scent; no strong olfactory warnings if spilled
pH: Not measurable in solid form; typically neutral to weakly acidic in aqueous suspension
Melting Point: 210–230°C (range reflects manufacturer data)
Boiling Point: Decomposition occurs prior to boiling under normal atmospheric pressure
Solubility: Poorly soluble in water; soluble in DMSO, methanol, ethanol; limited solubility in chloroform, acetone
Vapor Pressure: Negligible at ambient temperature; cannot form significant vapor phase under routine conditions
Specific Gravity: Varies by manufacturer (refer to certificate of analysis for lot-specific value)
Partition Coefficient: High (lipophilic character, consult technical specification for precise logP)
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage and handling guidelines; shelf-life generally extends 2–3 years unopened at low temperatures
Reactive Incompatibilities: Reacts with strong oxidizing agents; avoid direct contact with acids, bases, and reactive chemicals
Decomposition Products: Thermal breakdown emits carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, potentially trace amines
Conditions to Avoid: Moisture, extreme heat, exposure to UV light or open flames
Polymerization: No risk of hazardous polymerization under standard lab or industrial conditions.
Acute Toxicity: Precise LD50 data not available for this compound; structurally similar compounds have low oral and dermal toxicity in animal studies
Chronic Exposure: Animal testing or epidemiological data lacking, though risk of reproductive and endocrine modulation indicated from related substances
Irritation/Sensitization: Skin or mucosal irritation possible with repeated exposure; no evidence of sensitization from available data
Mutagenicity: No genotoxicity observed in standard Ames tests with close analogs; full profile for this analog uncertain
Carcinogenicity: No IARC, NTP, or OSHA listing as a carcinogen; monitor literature for updates
Other Health Effects: Hormonal effects possible based on mechanism; avoid handling by pregnant or nursing staff or those with hormone-sensitive conditions.
Aquatic Toxicity: Harm to aquatic organisms anticipated at high concentrations; highly lipophilic structure can trap in sediments or tissues
Bioaccumulation: May persist and concentrate in aquatic organisms, given molecular features similar to steroidal agents
Mobility in Soil: Low water solubility limits mobile fraction, toxins may linger in soil or sediment
Persistence/Degradability: Slow to degrade, does not mineralize rapidly in aerobic environments
Other Environmental Effects: Hormonal activity raises risk of disturbing local biota, reproductive toxicity for some species observed in similar compounds
Best Practice: Do not release to environment or drainage.
Waste Disposal Methods: Collect waste and chemically contaminated items in chemically resistant containers. Use incineration in a permitted industrial facility or deliver via licensed waste processor. Never discharge into public sewers, surface water, or soil.
Contaminated Packaging: Dispose of emptied packaging and gloves under standard hazardous waste protocols, following regional and national regulations.
