GHS Classification: Not classified as hazardous according to GHS
Physical Hazards: None under normal usage
Health Hazards: Potential mild eye and skin irritant, may cause mild respiratory irritation upon prolonged inhalation; ingestion may cause stomach discomfort
Environmental Hazards: Does not release halogenated byproducts, so does not contribute to dioxin formation; not persistent or bioaccumulative
Label Elements: No pictograms or signal words required; precautionary wording advised for dust and skin contact
Chemical Characterization: Mixture
Key Components:
Inhalation: Move exposed person to fresh air and keep warm, watch for breathing or coughing, get attention if discomfort continues
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash skin gently with soap and plenty of water, use moisturizers for dryness or irritation
Eye Contact: Flush with lukewarm, running water for several minutes, lift eyelids, see medical advice if pain or redness stays
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, give small amount of water, do not induce vomiting, monitor for stomach pain or nausea, call poison center or doctor for guidance
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or spray water
Special Hazards: Product resists catching fire but may release phosphorus oxides and other irritating gases at high heat
Protective Equipment: Wear full fire gear and self-contained breathing mask to avoid smoke inhalation
Additional Advice: Cool nearby drums or containers with spray, stay upwind, evacuate non-essential personnel
Personal Precautions: Wear gloves, safety glasses, and dust mask if powder airborne
Environmental Precautions: Prevent from reaching drains or water sources
Cleanup Methods: Collect spilled powders with shovel or vacuum equipped with HEPA filter, put into sealed container, wash spill area with plenty of water and detergent, ventilate until dry
Disposal: Dispose contaminated material following local waste codes
Handling: Avoid generating dust and breathing particles, keep product sealed when not in use; use in ventilated area, wash hands before eating, don’t mix with strong oxidizers
Storage: Store indoors in tightly closed original packaging away from heat, strong sunlight, and flame sources; keep under 40°C, prevent moisture contact, do not stack heavy containers on top of each other
Other Cautions: Keep away from food and drink, out of reach of children
