Classification: Non-halogenated flame retardant formulation; not classified as hazardous based on current regulations
Physical Hazards: Pellet or granular solid; not explosive; low dust formation risk
Health Hazards: Low toxicity by skin contact or inhalation; potential mechanical irritation to eyes or respiratory tract if dust is generated
Environmental Hazards: Low bioaccumulation potential; polymer matrix limits leaching
Pictogram: No mandatory hazard pictograms
Signal Word: None
Precautionary Statements: Use only as directed; avoid eye or prolonged skin contact, minimize dust generation
Main Components: Polymer carrier (typically polyethylene or polypropylene, 45-75%), flame retardant additives (aluminum trihydrate, magnesium hydroxide, phosphorus compounds, 20-50%), process aids and stabilizers (up to 5%)
CAS Numbers: Polyolefins: 9002-88-4 / 9003-07-0; Aluminum trihydrate: 21645-51-2; Magnesium hydroxide: 1309-42-8; Proprietary phosphorus blend (confidential business information)
Impurities: Trace refining residues, heavy metals not intentionally added
Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air, rinse throat with water, consult medical attention if symptoms develop
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes gently with plenty of water, continue for several minutes, call physician if redness or discomfort persists
Skin Contact: Wash area with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing, consult a doctor if skin irritation develops
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting, rinse mouth, drink water, seek medical attention if large amounts swallowed or symptoms occur
Most Important Symptoms: Dust irritation (if inhaled), mechanical eye irritation
Suitable Extinguishing Agents: Water spray, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide
Specific Hazards: Emits toxic fumes under fire conditions such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, phosphorus oxides
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should use self-contained breathing apparatus, protective suit
Special Firefighting Procedure: Move containers from fire area if this can be done safely, prevent runoff from entering drains or waterways
Personal Precautions: Wear suitable gloves and eye protection, avoid generating dust
Emergency Procedures: Ventilate spilled area, sweep up to prevent slipping hazard
Environmental Precautions: Do not discharge into drains or natural water systems
Clean-up Methods: Sweep or scoop into suitable containers for disposal or recovery, wash area with plenty of water
Safe Handling: Use in well-ventilated area, avoid breathing dust, do not eat, drink, or smoke near material, wear appropriate PPE
Safe Storage: Store in original container, keep tightly sealed, store in cool and dry location, avoid direct sunlight, keep away from foodstuffs and incompatible chemicals
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, oxidizing agents
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, process enclosure, dust collection recommended for bulk handling
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety glasses, gloves (nitrile or similar), dust mask if handling large volumes or dusty materials, protective clothing
Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific regulatory exposure limits for main constituents; general nuisance dust limits apply (e.g. OSHA PEL for particulate not otherwise regulated: 15 mg/m3 total dust, 5 mg/m3 respirable fraction)
Appearance: White or off-white granules or pellets
Odor: Mild waxy odor
Odor Threshold: Not available
pH: Not applicable
Melting Point: 120-170°C (depends on polymer base)
Boiling Point: Not applicable (decomposes prior to boiling)
Flash Point: >220°C
Flammability: Not easily ignitable, supports self-extinguishing properties in plastics
Vapor Pressure: Negligible at ambient conditions
Solubility: Insoluble in water
Decomposition Temperature: Decomposes above 300°C with emission of fumes
Chemical Stability: Stable at ambient temperatures and pressures
Conditions to Avoid: Exposing to flames or temperatures above 300°C
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, concentrated acids
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, phosphorus oxides under fire conditions
Acute Toxicity: Low based on ingredients and experience with similar blends
Skin Contact: May cause slight irritation after prolonged exposure
Eye Contact: Can cause temporary mechanical irritation
Inhalation: Dust may irritate respiratory tract, especially in sensitive individuals or in confined spaces
Ingestion: Not expected to be toxic orally in small amounts
Chronic Effects: No known serious chronic health risks with normal handling
Carcinogenicity: Not listed by IARC, NTP, or OSHA
Sensitization: No known sensitization effects
Ecotoxicity: No acute toxic risk to aquatic or terrestrial organisms at typical use concentrations
Persistence and Degradability: Polymer matrix very slowly degradable; flame retardants are mineral in nature
Bioaccumulative Potential: Low due to physical structure and minimal solubility
Mobility in Soil: Low; product remains localized where released, does not readily migrate to groundwater
Other Information: No effects on sewage treatment bacteria at likely exposure levels
Waste Treatment Methods: Dispose of in accordance with national and local regulations
Product Disposal: Landfill or incineration preferred for large quantities, recycle unused materials where practical
Packaging Disposal: Clean containers can be recycled or disposed of as non-hazardous waste
