Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, dry powder, CO2
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: None known
Hazardous Combustion Products: Ammonia, oxides of phosphorus may form in fire
Fire-Fighting Instructions: Wear full protective gear including self-contained breathing apparatus, keep containers cool with water spray, prevent runoff entering water bodies
Explosion Sensitivity: Not explosive or flammable
Personal Precautions: Use dust mask, non-slip gloves, goggles, avoid stirring dust into air
Environmental Precautions: Prevent large amounts from entering drains, waterways, or soil
Cleanup Methods: Gather powder with a shovel or vacuum; place in sealed containers for reuse or disposal; ventilate area; wash residues away with water
Safe Handling: Minimize dust, work in ventilated space, avoid direct contact, wear protective clothing
Hygiene: Wash hands after use, keep food away from the work area, avoid smoking
Storage Conditions: Keep in closed, labeled containers, store cool and dry, keep away from incompatible chemicals like strong acids, avoid humidity
Packaging: Bulk bags, fiber drums, plastic-lined sacks resistant to moisture
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation where significant dust forms, regular cleaning to minimize settled dust
Personal Protection: Dust respirator or mask, safety goggles, chemical-resistant gloves, long sleeves
Workplace Exposure Limits: Recommend total inhalable dust below 10 mg/m³, respirable dust below 5 mg/m³ (check local regulations)
Hygiene: Frequent handwashing, no eating, drinking or smoking in use area
Appearance: White powder or granules
Odor: Odorless
pH (10% Solution): 5.5–7.5
Melting Point: Decomposes above 240°C (no true melting)
Boiling Point: Not applicable
Solubility: Slightly soluble in water
Vapor Pressure: Not relevant
Bulk Density: 0.7–0.9 g/cm³
Decomposition Temperature: Above 240°C
Other Properties: Non-combustible, stable under most conditions, non-volatile
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal environmental and storage conditions
Reactivity: No strong exothermic reactions with common materials
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids break down to ammonia and phosphoric acid; strong alkalis may lead to ammonia release
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Ammonia, oxides of phosphorus, possibly nitrogen oxides
Polymerization: Will not occur
Acute Toxicity: Low toxicity by oral and dermal routes
Inhalation: Dust may irritate airways causing coughing or short breath
Skin Contact: Prolonged exposure can dry or irritate skin
Eye Contact: May cause mechanical eye irritation
Ingestion: Large quantities may cause digestive discomfort
Sensitization: Does not typically provoke allergic skin or respiratory reactions
Chronic Effects: Frequent, heavy exposure might impact kidneys or liver, though limited evidence from animal studies
Carcinogenicity: No classification as carcinogen by IARC, NTP, or OSHA
Aquatic Toxicity: Minimal risk in low concentrations, but large spills may stimulate algal growth
Persistence/Degradability: Inorganic; does not degrade via biological processes; phosphate may persist in water and soil
Bioaccumulation: No bioaccumulation expected since substance does not concentrate through food chain
Mobility: Moves with water and may enter groundwater if large quantities dumped
Other Effects: Large releases in lakes or rivers may boost plant/algae growth, leading to eutrophication over time
Waste Disposal Methods: Sweep up and reuse if pure, dispose of contaminated material as chemical waste
Regulations: Follow local hazardous waste regulations; large amounts sent to landfill only with permit; incinerate only if permitted by local law
Packaging Clean-Up: Empty packaging can be recycled or sent to landfill if completely free of chemical residues
UN Number: Not regulated
Shipping Name: Ammonium Polyphosphate, not regulated for ground, ship, or air
Hazard Class: Not classified as dangerous
