Chemical Name: Ammonium Polyphosphate
CAS Number: 68333-79-9
Concentration: Greater than 98%
Impurities: Orthophosphates (<1%)
Other Information: Contains trace moisture from manufacturing, no hazardous fillers
General: Move person away from contaminated area, seek medical care if symptoms persist
Inhalation: Move to fresh air, blow nose to clear dust, get help if cough or irritation develops
Skin Contact: Remove clothing, wash exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water, seek care for rash or burns
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes slowly with clean water for 15 minutes, hold eyelids open, get medical attention for persistent discomfort
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, offer water to drink, do not induce vomiting, contact a poison control center if large amounts have been swallowed
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide
Hazards: Ammonium polyphosphate itself does not burn, decomposes to form ammonia, phosphorus oxides, releases irritating fumes if exposed to high heat
Protective Equipment: Full protective clothing, self-contained breathing apparatus to avoid inhaling decomposition products
Special Fire Procedures: Cool containers with water spray; avoid breathing fumes generated
Personal Protection: Wear goggles, dust mask or respirator, protective gloves
Clean Up Methods: Sweep or vacuum up spilled material, avoid generating dust, keep in a closed container for disposal
Environmental Precautions: Keep away from drains, surface water, and soil; use barrier material if necessary
Other Precautions: Ventilate area, wash down residues with plenty of water
Handling: Avoid breathing dust, use local ventilation in confined areas, keep containers tightly closed, avoid creating airborne dust
Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, protected from moisture and incompatible materials like strong acids or alkalis
Incompatible Materials: Do not store with oxidizers, strong reducing agents, or strong acids
Precautions: Keep containers off the floor to avoid contact with water; keep away from food and animal feed
Exposure Limits: No OSHA or ACGIH exposure limits specific to this product; dust exposure should not exceed nuisance dust limits (10 mg/m³ total dust)
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust or general ventilation to maintain air quality
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety glasses or goggles, dust mask or respirator (NIOSH-approved N95 or equivalent), nitrile gloves, protective clothing as necessary
Hygiene Measures: Wash thoroughly after use, remove contaminated clothing, do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling
Appearance: White, free-flowing powder
Odor: Odorless
pH (1% solution): Approximately 6.0 to 7.5
Melting Point: Above 150°C (decomposes)
Boiling Point: Not applicable (decomposes without boiling)
Density: About 1.9 g/cm³
Solubility: Slightly soluble in water, forms a colloidal solution
Vapor Pressure: Not applicable
Decomposition Temperature: Starts above 200°C, with evolution of ammonia and phosphoric acids
Particle Size: Typically below 50 microns by manufacturer specification
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal ambient and anticipated storage and handling conditions
Reactivity: Not reactive under standard conditions, can react with strong acids to release ammonia
Conditions to Avoid: Exposure to strong acids, moisture, high temperatures above decomposition point
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Ammonia, oxides of phosphorus, nitrogen oxides
Polymerization: Does not occur
Acute Toxicity: Low toxicity by oral, dermal, or inhalation exposure for humans and animals; LD50 (oral, rat) > 5,000 mg/kg
Skin Contact: Slight irritant to sensitive skin; no permanent damage expected with immediate washing
Eye Contact: Mild irritation, redness, tearing possible
Inhalation: Dust may cause mild respiratory irritation or cough
Chronic Effects: No evidence of chronic toxicity, carcinogenicity, or reproductive risk from published data
Medical Conditions Aggravated: Asthma, chronic bronchitis may be aggravated by dust exposure
Ecotoxicity: Not acutely toxic to fish, daphnia, or algae; LC50 (fish, 96 h): >100 mg/l
Persistence and Degradability: Slowly hydrolyzes to ammonium orthophosphate in water
Bioaccumulation: Not expected, due to low solubility, rapid hydrolysis to nutrients
Mobility: Not very mobile in soils; binds to soil minerals, limited leaching expected
Other Environmental Data: May promote growth of aquatic plants if released in significant amounts
Waste Handling: Collect material in a clean, dry container; avoid creating airborne dust during collection
Methods of Disposal: Dispose through licensed waste management facility, landfill permitted for non-hazardous material
Contaminated Packaging: Rinse thoroughly, recycle if possible under local regulations
Do Not: Dump in sewers, surface water, or uncontrolled locations
Waste Codes: Not listed as hazardous waste under RCRA or other US regulations
UN Number: Not regulated under UN, IMDG, IATA
Proper Shipping Name: Ammonium Polyphosphate
Hazard Class: Non-hazardous material
Packing Group: None required
Transport Precautions: Keep cargo dry and secure, protect from moisture and rough handling
