Notes for Physicians: Provide symptomatic treatment as required, no specific antidote known
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide extinguishers
Fire and Explosion Hazards: Product itself does not burn; use standard firefighting procedures; avoid inhaling fumes produced by fire exposure
Specific Hazards Arising from Chemical: In case of fire, potassium oxides or phosphorus oxides may form
Special Protective Equipment: Firefighters wear full protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus
Hazardous Combustion Products: Smoke, irritating gases, potassium or phosphorus oxides possible
Personal Precautions: Wear appropriate dust mask, safety goggles and gloves during cleanup
Environmental Precautions: Keep on paved or soil surface, avoid product entry to waterways, storm drains or soil in large quantities
Methods for Clean-Up: Sweep up spilled material and place in labeled container for safe disposal, use damp methods to minimize airborne dust, flush small residues with large amounts of water if local regulations allow
Additional Advice: Ensure good ventilation in spill area, wash surfaces after removal measures
Handling: Use with adequate ventilation, minimize dust formation, avoid contact with skin and eyes, do not breathe dust, wash thoroughly after handling
Storage: Store in tightly closed container, place away from incompatible substances (strong acids, strong oxidizers), keep in cool, dry ventilated location, protect from moisture
Packaging Materials: Compatible with polyethylene, polypropylene, or other chemically resistant containers
Special Precautions: Do not store in unlabeled or open containers, maintain product integrity by keeping sealed
Occupational Exposure Limits: No regulatory occupational exposure limit is established for dipotassium phosphate; workplace dust limits for nuisance dust may apply (typically 10 mg/m3 inhalable, 3 mg/m3 respirable)
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation or process enclosure for dust-generating operations
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety goggles to protect eyes, chemical-resistant gloves to protect hands, dust masks or respirators for airborne dust in bulk handling, protective clothing for prolonged exposure
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before eating, do not eat, drink, smoke, or store food in work area
Environmental Controls: Minimize release to the environment using good work practices
