Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air, rinse mouth; if symptoms persist: seek medical advice.
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse; apply gentle moisturizer if skin feels dry or itchy.
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes gently under clean running water for several minutes, removing contact lenses as possible; seek specialist care if irritation lasts.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink water to dilute; do not induce vomiting; monitor for symptoms such as nausea, seek prompt medical attention if unwell.
Other Measures: Provide SDS to healthcare providers as needed; note material non-toxic by most acute routes but irritation possible.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry powder, foam, carbon dioxide, or water spray
Unsuitable Media: Direct water jets (may spread material)
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon oxides, phosphoric acid compounds, non-halogenated fumes
Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, gloves, and full fire suit; avoid inhaling combustion gases
Special Procedures: Keep drums cool with water spray; prevent contamination of water sources with runoff
Unusual Risks: No risk of corrosive or highly toxic halogenated gas formation
Personal Precautions: Avoid dust contact with eyes, skin, and lungs; ventilate spill area; wear dust mask, safety goggles, gloves
Environmental Precautions: Do not allow runoff into surface water, sewer, or soil; isolate discharge with diking materials
Cleanup Methods: Sweep or scoop up material, place in suitable labeled containers for re-use or disposal; vacuum area thoroughly; wash area with water and detergent
Disposal of Waste: See Disposal Considerations section for full protocol
Handling: Move sacks gently to avoid raising dust; open packages in ventilated areas; keep away from strong acids, oxidizers, and foodstuffs; wash hands before eating or smoking
Storage Requirements: Store in tightly closed original containers; keep in cool, dry, and well-ventilated space; avoid direct sunlight and moisture
Packaging Materials: Use original manufacturer bags or containers; avoid repackaging into metal or unlined drums
Incompatible Storage: Segregate from strong acids, oxidizers, alkalis
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation recommended for bulk handling or mixing; dust control systems in place for filling/loading operations
Respiratory Protection: Dust masks or approved P2/P3 respirators if high dust levels encountered
Eye Protection: Chemical safety goggles or face shield
Skin Protection: Impervious gloves (nitrile, PVC), long sleeves, closed footwear
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before meals; shower and change clothing after shift; maintain regular cleaning schedule for work areas
Occupational Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limit set for the blend; keep dust below 5mg/m³ for worker comfort
Appearance: Fine, pale off-white or light yellow powder
Odor: Mildly chemical, low volatility
pH (10% in water): Around 6-8
Melting/Freezing Point: Above 100°C
Boiling Range: Not applicable

Solubility: Disperses in water, not fully soluble; dispersible in most epoxy resins
Relative Density: About 1.5 g/cm³
Vapor Pressure: Negligible at room temperature
Explosive Properties: No explosive properties detected
Oxidizing Properties: None
Partition Coefficient (n-octanol/water): Not established
Autoignition Temperature: >350°C
Decomposition Temperature: >250°C
Chemical Stability: Remains stable under normal storage and use conditions
Reactivity: Does not react strongly with most common materials
Conditions to Avoid: High moisture, high temperature during storage, strong oxidizing agents, and acids
Hazardous Decomposition: Phosphoric acid fumes, carbon oxides produced at high temperature
Polymerization: No dangerous polymerization expected
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, alkalis, and oxidizing agents
Shelf Life: At least 24 months from manufacture date when stored properly
Acute Toxicity: Ingestion or inhalation of powder may irritate mouth, throat, and stomach; high doses in rodents showed LD50 >2000 mg/kg; not acutely toxic
Skin/Eye Irritation: Possible redness or mild discomfort, no cases of burns reported
Sensitization: No known allergic skin response in workplace use
Mutagenicity/Carcinogenicity: No evidence for genotoxicity or carcinogenicity in available studies
Chronic Exposure: Repeated contact may cause mild irritation for some individuals
Long-term Health Effects: No bioaccumulation or persistent organ effects detected
Medical Symptoms: Short-lived coughing or sneezing if dust is inhaled; wash with water if irritation persists
Acute Aquatic Toxicity: May be harmful to aquatic species at high concentrations
Persistence and Degradability: Organic content degrades in soil and water over time; some phosphorus compounds remain longer in sediment
Bioaccumulative Potential: Low likelihood of bioconcentration in aquatic life
Mobility: Main component binds to soil and does not leach readily
Chemical Fate: No halogenated breakdown products in regular use
Other Data: Avoid discharge of untreated material into rivers, lakes, or sewers
Waste Disposal Methods: Collect unused or spilled material in strong bags or drums for industrial disposal by licensed contractor; do not landfill large quantities untreated
Local Regulations: Disposal must meet regional, national, and local environmental laws; incineration under controlled conditions preferred
