Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide
Special Hazards: May emit irritating fumes, combustion produces carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and possibly other toxic gases
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Advice for Firefighters: Move containers away from fire if possible without risk, prevent run-off from entering drains, cool containers with water spray
Personal Precautions: Avoid breathing dust, avoid skin and eye contact, use appropriate PPE (chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, lab coat, dust mask)
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, and soil, notify environmental authorities if large spill occurs
Clean-up Methods: Collect spill with inert absorbent material, place in suitable labeled container for waste disposal, ventilate area, wash spill site with soap and water after material pickup
Handling: Use only in controlled, well-ventilated locations, avoid creating dust, practice good chemical hygiene, wear appropriate personal protective equipment at all times
Storage: Store in cool, dry, tightly closed containers, protect from light and moisture, keep away from incompatible substances such as strong oxidizers and acids, label storage area clearly for hazardous material
Exposure Limits: No specific occupational exposure limits set by OSHA, ACGIH, or NIOSH
Engineering Controls: Work in fume hood or use local exhaust ventilation, keep airborne concentrations below detectable levels
Personal Protection: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile recommended), splash-proof goggles, lab coat, closed shoes, use respiratory protection if dust is generated or exposure threshold is exceeded
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after handling, avoid eating or drinking in work areas, launder contaminated clothing before reuse
Appearance: Orange to red solid (crystalline or powder)
Odor: Slight, phenolic

Reactivity: Reactive with strong oxidizers and acids, may decompose when exposed to heat or light
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nauseating fumes
Possibility of Hazardous Reactions: None expected in sealed containers under normal use, avoid incompatible materials
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, ignition sources, strong oxidizing agents, direct sunlight, and moisture
Acute Toxicity: Not tested extensively on humans, no specific LD50 available, mild to moderate irritant based on structure and related substances
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: May cause skin irritation on direct contact
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: Known to irritate eyes comparable to phenolic compounds
Sensitization: Potential for allergic skin reaction not ruled out
Chronic Effects: No data on prolonged exposure, long-term risks not fully characterized
Carcinogenicity: Not classified by IARC, NTP, or OSHA
Mutagenicity: No reliable data available, prudent precaution advised
Other Effects: May cause headaches, dizziness from fumes
Ecotoxicity: Data lacking for most aquatic and terrestrial species, structurally related compounds can cause problems in aquatic environments at high concentrations
Persistence and Degradability: Expected to be slowly biodegradable under environmental conditions, resistant to rapid breakdown
Bioaccumulation: Potential for bioaccumulation not established, limited solubility in water may restrict mobility
Mobility in Soil: Likely low due to hydrophobic character
Other Adverse Effects: Avoid direct release into waterways, may impact beneficial organisms if disposal is improper
Waste Handling: Collect all waste material in appropriately labeled containers, store for disposal by permitted chemical waste contractor
Disposal Method: Incineration preferred in accordance with federal, state, and local laws
Contaminated Packaging: Rinse before recycling if permitted, otherwise handle as hazardous waste
Environmental Cautions: Do not allow the chemical to enter drains, waterways, or soil
