Protective Equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus, full protective clothing
Advice for Firefighters: Isolate area, avoid breathing vapors, cool containers exposed to flames with water mist, control run-off to prevent entry to water systems
Personal Precautions: Wear suitable protective gloves, goggles, and clothing, prevent contact with skin or eyes, ventilate area
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from entering drains, sewers, or surface water, notify relevant authorities if environmental contamination occurs
Cleanup Methods: Absorb spillage with inert material (sand, vermiculite), shovel into labeled, sealable containers for disposal, flush area with water avoiding direct discharge into waterways
Handling: Avoid exposure to dust or fumes, use only with adequate ventilation, do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling
Storage: Store in tightly closed original containers, in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, keep away from sources of heat and ignition, protect from direct sunlight, keep out of reach of children
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents, acids, alkalis
Exposure Limits: None established for primary component, refer to local regulations for any phosphorus or nitrogen compound restrictions
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation recommended at points of emission or transfer, general dilution ventilation, enclosed systems where possible
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), safety goggles, long-sleeved work clothing, respiratory protection (organic vapor cartridge) in poorly ventilated areas
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before breaks and after work, avoid contact with skin and eyes, remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse, eye-wash stations near points of use
Appearance: Viscous, colorless to pale yellow liquid
Odor: Mild, slightly ammoniacal
pH: 6.0-8.0 (typical)
Melting Point/Freezing Point: Below -10°C
Boiling Point: Decomposes without boiling above 200°C
Flash Point: >180°C (closed cup)
Vapor Pressure: Negligible at room temperature
Solubility in Water: Slightly soluble
Density: 1.05 – 1.22 g/cm³ at 20°C
Viscosity: High, over 1000 mPa∙s at 25°C
Partition Coefficient (n-octanol/water): Low, not expected to bioaccumulate
Stability: Stable under recommended storage and use conditions, sensitivity to high heat over 200°C
Reactivity: Little reactivity under normal handling
Hazardous Reactions: Decomposition at high temperatures produces irritating and toxic gases
Incompatible Materials: Avoid contact with strong acids, alkalis, and oxidizers
Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, phosphorus oxides, nitrogen oxides, ammonia vapors
Routes of Exposure: Skin and eye contact, inhalation of aerosols, accidental ingestion
Acute Effects: Mild skin and eye irritation, may cause skin sensitization, temporary respiratory discomfort possible in poorly ventilated spaces
Chronic Effects: Repeated exposure may increase skin sensitivity; no long-term neurotoxicity or mutagenicity reported as per available studies
Toxicity Data: LD50 (oral, rat) estimated >2000 mg/kg; not classified as carcinogen per IARC, NTP, OSHA
Irritation: Mild skin redness, slight conjunctival redness
Medical Conditions Aggravated: Asthma, eczema, dermatitis
Ecotoxicity: Not highly toxic to aquatic organisms, slow biodegradation in freshwater and soil, phosphorus content may contribute to eutrophication in large spills
Persistence and Degradability: Component shows moderate breakdown in the environment, half-life under sunlight around 30-40 days
Bioaccumulative Potential: Low potential, negligible content in higher food chain
Mobility in Soil: Moderate soil mobility, limited migration due to viscosity and partial water insolubility
Other Adverse Effects: Avoid direct discharge into surface water, limit runoff from production sites and waste storage
Waste Treatment Methods: Treat as hazardous chemical waste, do not dump in sewers, consult local regulations for incineration or authorized chemical waste landfill disposal
Container Handling: Triple rinse empty containers, puncture and send to licensed drum re-conditioner or approved landfill/metal recycling
