Other Components: May contain proprietary stabilizers or anti-oxidants (<1%)
Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air, support breathing as needed. Get medical help if symptoms persist or breathing is labored.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Do not use solvents or thinners. Seek help if irritation continues.
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes gently with plenty of clean water for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids open. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Seek medical advice as needed.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth, drink water if conscious. Get prompt medical attention.
Notes for Medical Personnel: Treat symptomatically, monitor for signs of respiratory distress or persistent irritation; no antidote known.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray. Do not use direct water jet.
Specific Hazards from Fire: Emits toxic fumes of phosphorus oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide when heated or burned.
Protective Equipment: Firefighters use self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-resistant clothing.
Explosion Risk: Does not form explosive mixtures under normal conditions, but dust formation in air may be hazardous.
Additional Advice: Cool fire-exposed containers with water spray; contain contaminated run-off to prevent entry to drains.
Personal Protection: Wear gloves, splash-proof goggles, protective clothing; avoid breathing fumes or dust.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent material from entering sewers, waterways, soil.
Cleanup Methods: Absorb spill onto sand, earth, or suitable inert material. Collect up for waste disposal in secured containers. Scrub area with detergent and water.
Decontamination: Dispose of contaminated cleaning materials as hazardous waste.
Reporting: Notify relevant authorities if spill enters environment or large quantity releases occur.
Safe Handling: Use only in well-ventilated area. Avoid skin, eye contact, and inhalation of dust or droplets. Keep containers closed when not in use.
Storage Requirements: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers and acids.
Container Materials: Use steel, polyethylene, or compatible materials, tightly sealed.
Packaging: Drums, IBC totes, properly labeled and upright.
Special Practices: Ground and bond containers for liquid transfer, follow local fire code and safety practices.
Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific national OELs assigned but keep airborne dust, mist as low as possible.
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust, general ventilation to limit exposure.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), safety glasses or goggles, protective clothing with long sleeves. Respiratory protection (P2/P3 filter) if dust, mist, or fumes generated.
