GHS Classification: Suspected skin/eye irritant, harmful by inhalation or ingestion Signal Word: Warning Hazard Statements: May cause eye and skin irritation, possible respiratory discomfort after prolonged exposure, ingestion may lead to gastrointestinal disturbance Precautionary Statements: Avoid breathing dust or vapor, use adequate ventilation, wear suitable gloves, wash hands after handling Label Elements: Skull and crossbones pictogram, exclamation mark for irritant category Potential Health Effects: Eye redness, mild skin rashes, dry throat, headache in closed environments Environmental Hazards: Possible risk to aquatic life if spilled in large amounts
Chemical Name: Hexa Phenoxy Cyclo Tri-phosphazene CAS Number: 1184-10-7 Concentration: ≥98% by weight Impurities: Less than 2%, mostly oligomeric cyclophosphazenes and trace unreacted phenol Other Components: No hazardous additives, stabilizers, or fillers; pure compound usually supplied as white crystalline powder or flakes
Inhalation: Move exposed person to fresh air, loosen tight clothing, if symptoms persist, seek immediate medical attention Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash skin thoroughly with soap and water, use mild corticosteroid creams for irritation if recommended by a healthcare provider Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for at least fifteen minutes, remove contact lenses if present and easy to do, get prompt medical help if irritation continues Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting, rinse mouth with water, provide medical observation, monitor for abdominal pain or nausea Most Important Symptoms: Itchy skin, sneezing, sore throat, watery eyes if exposed to dust
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam, or water spray for containment; water jets may scatter powder but control heat Specific Hazards: Decomposition above 250°C yields toxic phosphorus oxides, phenol fumes may form at high temperatures Protective Equipment: Full firefighter turnout gear, self-contained breathing apparatus, fire-resistant gloves, goggles Advice for Firefighters: Approach upwind, cool exposed containers with water spray, avoid runoff into waterways due to solubility of some breakdown products Combustion Products: Sharp, acrid smoke with possible traces of NOx, POx, and carbon monoxide
Personal Precautions: Wear dust mask or respirator, impervious gloves, eye protection, non-slip shoes if large amount spills Environmental Precautions: Do not wash into drains or watercourses, cover spills to minimize airborne dust, inform local authorities for significant releases Containment Methods: Use sand or inert absorbent for containment, sweep up to prevent spreading Cleaning Up: Collect with shovel or vacuum designed for solids, avoid using compressed air, seal in puncture-proof containers for disposal Decontamination: Wash affected area of floor with mild detergent, ventilate space after clean-up
Safe Handling Guidelines: Avoid contact with skin or eyes, do not breathe dust, keep work area well-ventilated, handle away from food, beverages, acids, and oxidizers Storage Recommendations: Store in tightly closed, labeled containers away from moisture or direct sunlight, keep in a cool, dry place between 5–30°C, keep storage area free of incompatible chemicals Special Packaging: Use lined drums or antistatic bags for large volumes, smaller quantities can go in HDPE bottles with tamper-evident seals Other Precautions: Have a spill kit and eyewash station nearby, restrict access to trained workers, minimize dust formation during transfer
Exposure Limits: No established occupational limit for this compound, general recommendations based on dust exposure standards (e.g., ACGIH TLV for nuisance dust at 10 mg/m³ total) Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, fume extraction, intake hoods at mixing or loading points, sealed transfer systems in production Personal Protective Equipment: Safety goggles, chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), long pants, work shirt, laboratory coat, N95 or P100 mask if dust present Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before meals or breaks, launder clothing regularly, avoid touching face during handling Environmental Controls: Avoid splashes or airborne dust, use containment barriers in production facilities
Appearance: White to off-white crystalline powder or small flakes, faint aromatic odor Molecular Weight: 693.6 g/mol Melting Point: 110–118°C Boiling Point: Decomposes without boiling at standard pressure Vapor Pressure: Negligible at room temperature Solubility: Sparingly soluble in water, soluble in acetone, toluene, DMF pH: Not applicable for solid Flash Point: Not flammable below 200°C Auto-ignition Temperature: >400°C Bulk Density: 0.5–0.7 g/cm3 Viscosity: Not applicable in solid form
Stability: Chemically stable under recommended storage conditions, no rapid decomposition under ambient conditions Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, open flames, strong UV light, strong acids, and oxidizing agents Incompatible Materials: Hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, chlorine, peroxides Decomposition Products: Phenol vapors, phosphorus oxides, nitrogen oxides with thermal breakdown Polymerization: Does not polymerize spontaneously Reactivity: May react with strong oxidizers to produce heat or toxic gases
Acute Toxicity: Low acute oral and dermal toxicity based on animal tests (LD50 oral: rat > 2500 mg/kg) Inhalation: Dust may cause temporary respiratory irritation, sneezing, cough, sore throat Skin Irritation: Repeated contact can cause redness, slight rash in sensitive individuals Eye Effects: Direct exposure leads to watering, redness, possible stinging Chronic Exposure Effects: No evidence for carcinogenicity or chronic organ-specific toxicity with normal use Allergic Reactions: Sensitization unlikely, but dermatitis reported infrequently Other Risks: Residual phenol impurities increase risk to skin or mucous membranes with large accidental exposures Mutagenicity: No data for DNA damage; not classified as mutagenic
Aquatic Toxicity: No measured LC50 but phenoxy phosphazenes persist in water and soil for weeks; low mobility but caution recommended for aquatic environments Persistence and Degradability: Resists rapid biodegradation, probable slow breakdown into less toxic compounds Bioaccumulation: Limited due to bulkiness and low water solubility, highly unlikely to build up in fish or wildlife Soil Mobility: Absorbs to soil and sediments, not expected to migrate to groundwater Other Effects: High concentration spills may be harmful to invertebrates and plants, report any major environmental release to authorities
Waste Methods: Small amounts can go to licensed chemical waste incinerator, larger loads may need specialist organic disposal Container Disposal: Triple rinse containers before recycling or disposal, puncture to prevent reuse, follow local hazardous waste codes Precautions: Avoid mixing with incompatible wastes such as acids, solvents, or bio-waste, do not discharge to sewers or natural waters Regulatory Requirements: Contact local environmental agency for regulated disposal or incineration Unused Product: Send back to manufacturer or authorized recycler if possible, store in secure location until picked up for disposal
UN Number: Not classified as dangerous for transport under UN Orange Book Proper Shipping Name: Hexa Phenoxy Cyclo Tri-phosphazene Hazard Class: Non-regulated for ground, sea, or air freight in most countries Packing Group: Usually not assigned Special Precautions: Avoid bulk shipments near food, strong oxidizers, or acids Labeling: Mark container with product name and main hazard symbols, keep manifest on hand for authorities Environmental Hazards: Not listed as marine pollutant
TSCA: Listed in US Toxic Substances Control Act Inventory REACH: Notified as a substance of low concern in the EU, specific authorizations not required for technical applications OSHA: No occupational exposure limit; subject to general chemical hygiene regulations SARA Title III: Not listed as extremely hazardous DSL/NDSL (Canada): Included in Canadian inventories Other International: Regulated under local chemical control laws in Japan, China, and Australia, no special restrictions noted for import/export except those covering industrial chemicals in general Additional Notes: Always refer to local workplace and environmental regulations for specific compliance duties and permissible uses
