Composition / Information on Ingredients

Chemical identity: Inorganic salt mixture
Primary components: Ammonium phosphate (CAS No. [insert]), ammonium sulfate (CAS No. [insert]), minor proprietary ingredients
Concentration: Ammonium phosphate 60-75%, ammonium sulfate 10-30%, other minor components less than 10%
Impurities: May contain traces of sodium chloride and magnesium salts
Hazardous ingredients: Concentrations warranting note relate primarily to ammonium salts, which can irritate if inhaled or exposed to skin and eyes
Other components: Blend contains no carcinogens or persistent organic pollutants as classified by IARC, NTP, or OSHA

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air, keep at rest, support breathing as needed, consult medical professional if discomfort persists
Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing, rinse skin with mild soap and plenty of water
Eye contact: Immediately flush with lukewarm water for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids apart, seek medical advice if irritation continues
Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly, drink small amounts of water, do not induce vomiting, get medical attention if feeling unwell
Most important symptoms: Stinging, redness, itching of eyes and skin, dry throat or cough
Medical notes: Symptomatic treatment only, continuous exposure may need additional observation

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable extinguishing media: Water spray, dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide
Unsuitable extinguishing media: None known for this blend
Hazardous combustion products: Under intense fire, ammonia and sulfur oxides can form
Protective equipment: Full protective gear and self-contained breathing apparatus for large fires
Specific hazards: Non-flammable but may support formation of hazardous gases during decomposition in high heat
Advice for firefighters: Move containers from fire area if safe, cool containers with water spray to prevent pressure build-up

Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions: Use dust mask or respirator, safety goggles, and gloves, ensure proper ventilation
Environmental precautions: Prevent large quantities from reaching drains, soil, or waterways
Methods for clean up: Gently sweep or vacuum spilled material into suitable containers, avoid creating dust clouds
Disposal: Collect for disposal following regulations, use sealed containers to prevent further contamination
Reference to other sections: Refer to exposure controls, personal protection, and disposal sections for further information

Handling and Storage

Precautions for safe handling: Minimize dust generation, avoid contact with skin and eyes, keep away from incompatible substances such as strong acids
Safe storage conditions: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area in tightly sealed containers away from moisture, sources of ignition, and foodstuffs
Separation from other materials: Keep away from acids, oxidizers, and combustibles
Hygiene practices: Wash hands, face, and exposed skin thoroughly after handling, do not eat, drink, or smoke where product is used
Specific end uses: Only for fire-retardant and industrial applications specified by supplier

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational exposure limits: Ammonium phosphate TWA – 10 mg/m³ (total dust), ammonium sulfate TWA – 10 mg/m³
Engineering controls: Use local and general ventilation to control airborne dust levels
Personal protection: Wear safety goggles, nitrile or PVC gloves, long-sleeved clothing, and a particulate respirator in dusty environments
Environmental exposure controls: Use containment and proper procedures to prevent release into environment
Special equipment: Emergency eye wash and shower stations in work area
