Other Components: No significant impurities expected to affect safety or performance
Inhalation: Remove individual to fresh air, allow rest in comfortable position; if discomfort persists, seek medical help
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with mild soap and water; remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes gently with water for several minutes, lifting eyelids; remove contact lenses, keep flushing; get medical attention if irritation continues
Ingestion: Offer water to rinse out mouth; do not try to induce vomiting; get professional attention for lasting symptoms
Notes for Doctor: Treat according to symptoms, monitor for allergic or respiratory reactions, provide supportive measures
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, or foam for small fires; avoid high-pressure water jets
Specific Hazards: Burning can create smoke containing phosphorus oxides, irritating fumes; potential for dust to increase explosion risk in confined spaces
Special Protective Equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus should be used for fire-fighters
Further Information: Limit spread of runoff water, keep containers cool by using spray if exposed to fire nearby, stay upwind, clear area of non-emergency personnel
Personal Precautions: Wear gloves, goggles, and dust mask; close off area, remove ignition sources, prevent entry of unnecessary personnel
Environmental Precautions: Avoid entry into drains, sewers, watercourses; small spills sweep up for disposal, larger quantities use vacuum collection
Cleanup Methods: Collect with suitable tools (shovel or industrial vacuum), avoid dry sweeping; place material in labeled, tightly sealed containers for waste
Decontamination: Wash spill site with water after material removal, avoid water pressure that creates aerosol or airborne dust
Disposal: Comply with local and national waste regulations, do not release residue into the environment
Handling: Use in well-ventilated areas, minimize dust; handle with gloves, goggles, and approved work clothing; transfer material calmly to avoid agitation
Storage: Keep in original sealed packaging, store in cool, dry, well-ventilated spot away from food, strong acids, alkalis, and oxidizing agents
Incompatibilities: Protect from moisture, keep away from sources of open flame, static discharge, or friction
Special Notes: Limited shelf life when exposed to air or humidity; rotate inventory, label containers with date received and opened
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established national limits for aluminum diethylphosphinate; keep dust levels lower than nuisance dust guidance (10 mg/m³ for inhalable, 3 mg/m³ for respirable dust)
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation required in mixing, weighing, or packaging areas; use enclosed systems where possible
Personal Protective Equipment: Protective gloves (nitrile or latex), chemical splash goggles or face shield, lab coats or coveralls, dust mask or particulate respirator (N95 rated or higher); safety shoes for bulk handling
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before eating or drinking, change contaminated clothing immediately, keep workspaces free of residue by regular cleaning
Appearance: White, fine crystalline powder or granules
Odor: Mild or none; not usually noticeable at room temperature
pH: 6.0–8.0 (suspension in water)
Melting Point: Above 280°C; no significant vapor pressure at standard temperature
Boiling Point: Not applicable (decomposes before boiling)
Flash Point: Not flammable under laboratory conditions
Solubility: Limited solubility in water; disperses and forms stable slurries
Vapor Pressure: Negligible
Bulk Density: 300–450 kg/m³
Partition Coefficient: No data available; not expected to bioaccumulate
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal handling and storage; decomposes upon exposure to strong acids, bases, or extreme heat
Reactivity: Reacts with strong oxidizers; avoid uncontrolled mixing with reducing agents or acidic materials
Hazardous Decomposition: At high temperatures releases phosphine, phosphorus oxides, aluminum oxides; toxic smoke can form if burned
Polymerization: Not known to occur
Other Notes: Prolonged exposure to humidity may cause clumping or degradation; keep container closed when not in use
Acute Toxicity: Oral LD50 in rats estimated above 2,000 mg/kg; not classified as acute toxic
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Repeated or prolonged contact can lead to mild redness, dryness; no lasting damage in most cases
Eye Damage/Irritation: Dust may cause mechanical irritation, temporary redness or discomfort
Respiratory Sensitization: Inhalation of powder over extended periods may irritate or aggravate respiratory symptoms in sensitive individuals
Carcinogenicity: No evidence of carcinogenic effects according to available animal studies and chemical analogs
Mutagenicity / Reproductive Toxicity: No data showing genetic or reproductive consequences
Medical Monitoring: Persons with allergies, asthma, or respiratory sensitivities should avoid direct exposure
Other Health Effects: High airborne levels can aggravate asthma-like symptoms; keep dust levels low
Eco-toxicity: Low toxicity to aquatic organisms; experimental data indicate no short-term harm at relevant concentrations
Persistence / Degradability: Does not readily degrade in soil or water; breaks down slowly by hydrolysis and weathering
Bioaccumulation Potential: Not expected to accumulate in aquatic food chains; low solubility limits uptake
Mobility in Soil: Tends to stay at surface, especially under dry conditions; small particles may be wind-blown
Other Environmental Effects: Prevent large-scale releases into waterways or storm drains, follow proper collection and cleanup procedures after spills
Waste Disposal Methods: Collect used or spilled powder for shipment to licensed landfill or chemical disposal plant, avoid flushing to drains or watercourses
Container Disposal: Empty sacks or drums should be triple rinsed, punctured, and recycled or disposed as required by local regulations; never reuse packaging for food or drinking water
