Hazard Ingredients: No additives or non-intended ingredients declared
Inhalation: Remove person from exposure, ensure fresh air, support breathing, seek medical advice especially if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash skin with mild soap and plenty of water for 15 minutes, consult physician if irritation or hormonal changes noticed
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes under gentle running water for at least 15 minutes, keep eyelids open, consult medical attention if redness or pain persists
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, seek immediate medical attention
Advice for Doctor: Supportive care, monitor hormone panel if significant quantity suspected
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, CO2, dry chemical, foam
Special Hazards: Combustion may release smoke, carbon oxides, possible hazardous decomposition
Protective Equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus, full protective suit
Additional Info: Avoid inhalation of combustion products, remove containers from fire area if safe
Cool Exposed Containers: Use water spray to keep containers cool and reduce risk of spatter
Personal Precautions: Evacuate area, ventilate, wear PPE—lab coat, gloves, safety glasses or face shield
Containment: Avoid dust formation, avoid direct contact with spilled material, block larger spills
Cleanup: Scoop up solids with minimal dust, place in labeled, sealable container, clean area with approved detergent, dispose as chemical waste
Disposal of Contaminated Material: Place absorbent and cleanup towels in hazardous waste bag
Reporting: Report significant releases to EHS or regulatory authorities as required
Handling: Work in well-ventilated space or fume hood, use standard laboratory safety practices, keep away from food, drink, and incompatible materials
Personal Hygiene: Wash hands after handling, keep gloves disposable and change if contaminated
Storage: Store in tightly closed container at 2-8°C (refrigerator), dry area, protect from light and moisture, segregation from oxidizers
Secure Access: Restrict storage to authorized users, label clearly with content and hazard
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established OSHA/ACGIH limits, handle as hazardous
Engineering Controls: Fume hoods, low-dust techniques, minimize open transfer
Respiratory Protection: NIOSH-approved mask if powder dust likely
Eye Protection: Laboratory goggles or safety glasses with side shields
Skin Protection: Nitrile or latex gloves, lab coats, closed footwear
Environmental Protection: Prevent entry into drains or natural water
Appearance: White to off-white crystalline powder
Odor: Odorless
pH: Not applicable in solid form
Melting Point: 183-185°C
Boiling Point: Not available—chemical decomposes
Solubility: Slightly soluble in water, soluble in ethanol, DMSO, methanol
Flash Point: Not determined
Vapor Pressure: Very low
Partition Coefficient: High tendency to bioaccumulate in fatty tissue (log P > 3)
Density: 1.15–1.17 g/cm3
Stability: Stable at recommended storage conditions, sensitive to light and moisture
Reactivity: No significant reactivity under standard lab conditions
Conditions to Avoid: Prolonged exposure to air, humidity, elevated temperature
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents, strong acids
Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, possible low-molecular degradation products on combustion
Acute Toxicity: Not fully studied in humans; animal studies indicate hormonal activity at low doses, not acutely toxic by oral or inhalation route
Chronic Effects: Endocrine disruption, reproductive effects, possible hepatic strain on repeated exposure
Sensitization: No data, but adhere to caution with all steroids
Carcinogenicity: Not classified as carcinogen by IARC or NTP
Additional Risks: Hormone-responsive individuals may be more sensitive, follow strict exposure limits in reproductive age
Mutagenicity: Not observed in standard assays, but data limited
Ecotoxicity: Not highly soluble, but bioactive in water organisms, disrupts hormonal cycles in aquatic species
Persistence and Degradability: Does not degrade rapidly, risk extends with continuous input
Bioaccumulation: Likely, based on physical partition data
Mobility: Poor—adheres to soils, sediment, organic matter
Avoid Release: Critical to contain all spills, prevent entry to water systems
Regulations: Controlled substance status in many countries, improper disposal may violate water protection laws
Disposal Method: Incinerate in licensed chemical facility
Waste Classification: Treat as hazardous organic chemical waste
Container Cleaning: Triple rinse, send all residues for chemical waste
Disposal Precaution: Never flush to sewer, avoid dust, label as hormone-active
Consult: Local EHS, observe state and federal disposal laws
UN Number: Not assigned for small research use quantities
Proper Shipping Name: Laboratory chemical, N.O.S.
Hazard Class: Not regulated for transport under normal quantities
Packing Group: Not assigned
Special Precautions: Keep packaging tightly closed, ship in secondary containment, avoid temperature extremes
International Regulations: Controlled substance under WADA, consult shipping company and customs
US TSCA Status: Not listed for unrestricted use
EU REACH Status: Not registered, use subject to special lab status
Controlled Substance: Subject to doping control, handle with permission
Workplace Labelling: Comply with OSHA Hazard Communication, supply SDS to users
