Inhalation: Move to fresh air, assist breathing if necessary, call for medical help if cough or discomfort continues
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink water, do not induce vomiting, seek medical attention quickly
Important Symptoms: Red, irritated skin or eyes, mild throat discomfort, nausea if swallowed
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide for surrounding fire
Unsuitable Media: None identified for this agent
Hazardous Combustion Products: Produces oxides of phosphorus and nitrogen when burned
Firefighter Instructions: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, full protective gear
Special Hazards: Product itself is not flammable; heated containers may burst if sealed
Personal Precautions: Wear gloves, chemical splash goggles, use dust mask during cleanup
Environmental Precautions: Prevent runoff from entering drains, ditches, or waterways, alert authorities if release is significant
Cleanup Methods: Collect spilled powder with non-sparking equipment or damp cloth, wash area with water, avoid dry sweeping to reduce dust
Disposal: Place absorbed material in suitable waste container, follow local regulations
Handling: Use only in well-ventilated spaces, avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing; do not eat, drink, or smoke when using chemicals
Storage: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area, keep container tightly closed, avoid exposure to sunlight and moisture, separate from food and incompatible chemicals (strong acids, oxidizers)
Safe Transfer: Use tools and pumps designed for chemicals, avoid spills during transfer
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, bases, strong oxidizers; avoid storage near heat sources
Exposure Limits: Not established for proprietary blend; follow local workplace limits where available
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust or general ventilation to minimize exposure to dust or mist
