Symptoms/effects: Itching, rash, coughing, sore throat, abdominal cramps if ingested
Suitable extinguishing media: Use dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide for containment
Unsuitable media: Do not use water jets as solid may react vigorously at high temperatures
Specific hazards: Product decomposes above 200°C releasing irritating fumes, containers may burst during excessive heating
Protective equipment: Full protective suit, SCBA
Fire-fighting measures: Move exposed containers from fire area, keep surrounding area cool, avoid inhalation of combustion products
Hazardous combustion products: Carbon oxides, titanium oxides, acidic gases including citric breakdown products
Personal precautions: Wear dust mask (P2/P3), nitrile gloves, goggles; prevent dust formation
Emergency procedures: Ventilate affected area, restrict access, avoid raising dust, prevent entry into sewers and waterways
Methods for cleanup: Scoop up with non-sparking tools, collect spill in sealed containers, wipe area with wet absorbent materials
Disposal methods: Dispose of waste in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations for hazardous chemical substances
Environmental precautions: Prevent product or contaminated water runoff from entering drains, ponds, or soil
Safe handling: Avoid creation of airborne dust, handle in ventilated area, do not eat, drink, or smoke during use
Conditions for storage: Store tightly closed in original packaging, in a cool, dry, ventilated area, away from strong acids, bases, oxidizers, food, and feed
Incompatible materials: Strong oxidizers, strong acids, strong reducing agents
Other practices: Maintain good housekeeping, keep storage area organized, minimize unnecessary movement of material
Occupational exposure limits: No established OSHA or ACGIH exposure limits; best practice is to minimize exposure
Engineering controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, sealed transfer systems, fume hoods
Individual protection measures: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or butyl), safety goggles, lab coats, dust mask or P2/P3 respirator in poorly ventilated areas
Environmental exposure: Use containment to limit environmental spread, maintain spill kits with appropriate neutralizers
Hygiene measures: Wash thoroughly after use, launder work clothing regularly, prohibit food/drink/tobacco in chemical handling areas
Appearance: Fine powder or crystalline solid
Color: Pale yellow to orange
Odor: Odorless
pH (1% solution): 3 – 4
Melting point: Not well defined, decomposes above 200°C
Boiling point: Not applicable
Flash point: Non-flammable solid
Solubility: Soluble in water
Vapor pressure: Negligible at ambient temperature
Density: ~2.4 g/cm³
Molecular weight: 264.03 g/mol
Partition coefficient: Not determined
Chemical stability: Stable in dry, closed containers under standard conditions, sensitive to moisture over time
Reactivity: Reacts with strong acids producing citric acid and titanium species; possible violent reaction with strong oxidizing agents
Decomposition products: Titanium oxides, carbon oxides, possible organic acid vapors
Incompatible materials: Strong oxidizers, concentrated acids/bases, reducing materials
Hazardous reactions: No dangerous polymerization expected, avoid extreme temperatures and contaminant exposure
Acute toxicity: Potentially harmful by ingestion, inhalation, and skin/eye contact, no extensive long-term toxicity data
Skin irritation: Moderate irritation possible on prolonged or repeated contact
Eye irritation: May provoke redness, tearing, and discomfort
Respiratory effects: Dust may provoke coughing, shortness of breath, or throat irritation
Chronic effects: Repeated exposure not well studied, but may lead to dermatitis or sensitization in susceptible individuals
Carcinogenicity: No classification as a human carcinogen by IARC, NTP, or OSHA
Mutagenicity/teratogenicity: No evidence in available studies
Route of exposure: Oral, dermal, inhalation are all possible—ingestion carries highest risk
Ecotoxicity: Not readily biodegradable, low expected short-term aquatic toxicity, but excess discharge can alter pH or bioavailability of metals in water systems
Mobility: Soluble in water, can migrate in soil, may complex with organic matter
Bioaccumulation: Unlikely to bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms, rapid breakdown to titanium oxides in natural waters
Persistence: Citric structure may degrade; residual titanium persists in sediment
Degradability: Citrate moiety subject to biodegradation, titanium species stable in many environments
Avoid release: Always work to confine waste and prevent runoff into aquatic channels
Waste treatment methods: Dispose of as hazardous chemical waste in accordance with federal, state, and local guidelines
Disposal containers: Use sealed, labeled containers that prevent dust emissions
Recommended practices: Do not dump into sanitary sewers or open water; solid waste incineration or secure chemical landfill sites handle most loads
Special considerations: Wash containers carefully before reusing or recycling; wet chemical neutralization reduces hazard before disposal
UN number: No specific UN number for this compound; refer to supplier MSDS or shipping documents
Transport hazard class: Not regulated as a dangerous good under most transport regulations
Packing group: Not classified
Marine pollutant: No
Special precautions: Ensure containers are dry, sealed, and upright; prevent shipping with incompatible materials
