Eye Contact: Rinse eyes gently but thoroughly under running water for at least 15 minutes, consult a physician
Ingestion: Rinse mouth without swallowing, do not induce vomiting, seek prompt medical support
Symptoms of Exposure: Headache, skin redness, eye irritation, possible nausea or dizziness, hormonal changes with prolonged contact
Medical Attention: Show MSDS or product label to healthcare provider, keep under observation for delayed effects
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide extinguishers; water can spread powders
Unsuitable Media: Avoid strong water jets which may disperse dust
Fire Hazards: Slightly combustible as a fine powder, can form explosive mixtures in air under rare conditions
Special Protective Equipment: Full fire gear and self-contained breathing apparatus for responders
Decomposition Products: Irritant smoke, carbon oxides, possible steroid degradation fumes
Extra Instructions: Move containers away from fire area if safe; cool containers with spray to prevent rupture from heat
Personal Precautions: Use NIOSH-approved dust mask and gloves to block inhalation or absorption
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spread to drains or water systems, scoop into sealed container for proper disposal
Spill Cleanup: Dampen powder with moistened paper towels to prevent dust generation, collect in labeled waste bin
Area Ventilation: Increase airflow in spill area, close off space to non-trained personnel
Decontamination: Wash affected surfaces with soapy water, dispose of cleanup materials as chemical waste
Disposal of Cleanup: Bag and label all paper, gloves, and cleaning items exposed to substance as regulated waste
Handling: Wear gloves, dust mask, and goggles whenever opening packaging or weighing; use a dedicated scoop or spatula
Safe Work Practices: Avoid eating, drinking, or touching face in handling area; wash hands before leaving lab space
Storage Conditions: Cool, dry storage away from direct sunlight and sources of heat
Segregation: Keep away from oxidizing agents, acids, or bases which risk unwanted reactions
Container Requirements: Store in tightly closed, labeled amber glass or plastic bottles
Temperature: Prefer temperatures below 25°C, avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles
Long-term Stability: Check for changes in appearance or odor before use; store minimal quantities at a time
Permissible Exposure Limits: No OSHA or ACGIH standard values; minimize exposure to lowest feasible
Engineering Controls: Work under fume hood or local exhaust hood for bulk transfers or weighing
Personal Protective Equipment: Lab coat, protective gloves (nitrile or neoprene), safety goggles or glasses
Respiratory Protection: Use filtering half-mask with fine particle (P2/P3) rating for powder work
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands thoroughly after use and before breaks or meals
Environmental Controls: No direct release to water, air filtration for exhaust recommended
Appearance: White to slightly off-white crystalline powder
Odor: Odorless or faint, not floral or pungent
Melting Point: 250–255°C
Boiling Point: Not observed, decomposes at high temperatures
Solubility: Very low in water, soluble in ethanol, DMSO, and organic solvents
pH: N/A (insoluble in water)
Vapor Pressure: Negligible at ambient temperatures
Density: Roughly 1.15 g/cm³
Flash Point: No data, assumed to be high due to structure
Partition Coefficient (log P): Estimated above 2.5, predicts fat solubility
Viscosity: Not applicable (solid)
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended handling and storage
Reactivity: No violent reactions under normal lab conditions
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, alkali, and oxidizers can degrade or alter structure
Conditions to Avoid: Extreme heat, moisture, UV light; avoid generating dust clouds
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, steroid fragments on burning
Polymerization: No hazardous polymerization reported
Acute Toxicity: Limited data, related steroids show mild acute oral toxicity in animals
Potential Health Effects: Skin irritation, eye redness, mild cough on inhalation, possible hormone disruption with repeated exposure
Chronic Effects: Possible effects on hormone regulation with long-term mishandling or chronic ingestion
Carcinogenicity: Not classified, insufficient data as of latest research
Mutagenicity: No definitive studies, but chemical class generally not flagged for DNA mutations
Reproductive Toxicity: Possible disruption noted for similar androgenic compounds
Target Organs: Endocrine and reproductive systems especially with exposure patterns involving skin absorption or accidental ingestion
Sensitization: Low risk, no reports in available literature
Ecotoxicity: Limited information, androgens may disrupt aquatic life hormone systems at trace levels
Mobility: Low water solubility means most stays in sediment, risk of bioaccumulation in aquatic food chains
Persistence and Degradability: Likely to persist in soil and water for extended periods without sunlight
Bioaccumulation Potential: Organic structure favors fat storage in organisms, some risk in aquatic environments
Other Adverse Effects: Disruption to fish or amphibian development possible at low exposures
