Impurities: Trace formaldehyde (<0.1%), moisture (1-3%)
Additives: Stabilizers and processing aids (~2%)
Hazardous Ingredients: Melamine and formaldehyde can irritate skin and lungs if handled without protection
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with water and soap, remove contaminated clothing
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with clean water for at least 15 minutes, remove contact lenses if easy
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, keep comfortable for breathing, seek medical attention if symptoms linger
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, do not induce vomiting, get medical attention if unwell
Primary Symptoms: Skin redness, itchiness, watering of eyes, coughing
Special Notes: Symptoms may not appear right away; watch for delayed effects after exposure
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, foam
Unsuitable Media: Direct water jets could spread dust if not carefully applied
Special Fire Hazards: May decompose at high temperatures producing ammonia gases and phosphorus oxides
Firefighter Protection: Full protective gear, self-contained breathing apparatus recommended
Explosion Data: Not known to present explosive risk under normal use, fine powders in air may rarely present dust explosion hazard
Special Instructions: Cool surrounding containers with water spray to prevent escalation
Personal Precautions: Wear gloves, goggles, dust mask to prevent skin and respiratory contact
Environmental Precautions: Block entry to drains, waterways, or soil
Clean-Up Methods: Scoop spilled material into suitable, labeled containers, sweep area thoroughly, avoid raising dust
Disposal of Waste: Dispose of in accordance with local regulations, avoid landfill where possible
Decontamination: Wash spill site after material pickup completed
Handling: Avoid dust formation, use only in well-ventilated locations, keep containers closed when not in use, do not eat, drink, or smoke during use, clean up any dust or spills immediately
Storage: Store in cool, dry area away from incompatible materials like strong acids and oxidizers, keep containers tightly closed, store in original packaging
Storage Conditions: Temperature preferably below 35°C, shield from direct sunlight and moisture
Packaging Materials: Polyethylene-lined fiber drums, re-sealable bags
Exposure Limit Values: No workplace exposure limits established for proprietary blend, treat as nuisance dust (total inhalable dust TWA 10 mg/m³, respirable dust TWA 3 mg/m³)
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical protective gloves, safety goggles, dust filtering mask (N95 or greater), lab coat or long sleeves, closed footwear
Engineering Controls: General ventilation, local exhaust at points of dust generation, eyewash stations nearby
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands thoroughly after handling, change out of contaminated clothing immediately, keep food and beverages out of work area

Chemical Stability: Remains stable under normal storage and use conditions
Reactivity: Not reactive in standard ambient environments
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, strong oxidizers, direct exposure to concentrated iodine
Decomposition Products: Oxides of phosphorus, nitrogen compounds, ammonia can evolve if overheated
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur under normal conditions
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, exposure to acids, sources of ignition around airborne powders
Acute Toxicity: Ammonium polyphosphate LD50 (oral, rat): > 2,000 mg/kg; melamine LD50 (oral, rat) 3,160 mg/kg
Skin Contact: May cause dryness, redness, itching with repeated contact
Eye Contact: Potential for mechanical irritation, tearing
Respiratory Effects: Dust can irritate nose, throat, and upper airways
Ingestion Effects: Can cause stomach discomfort or nausea
Chronic Effects: No evidence of carcinogenicity in humans, but melamine linked to kidney effects in animal studies with high doses
Sensitization: No known skin sensitization issues
Other Symptoms: Headache, sore throat, coughing if dust inhaled in enclosed spaces
Toxicity to Aquatic Life: Toxic to aquatic organisms (phosphates disrupt water ecosystems), long-lasting effects
Persistence and Degradability: Phosphates are persistent and accumulate in water
Bioaccumulation: Low potential to bioaccumulate in higher organisms
Mobility in Soil: Mobile in moist environments, leaching potential where spilled
Other Adverse Effects: Large accidental spills may impair local sewage plants, care needed during disposal
