Content: >99% (typical purity)
Impurities: Trace amounts of melamine or phosphate salts may be present, usually below 1%
Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air immediately, seek medical attention if symptoms persist like coughing, wheezing, sore throat
Skin Contact: Wash exposed area with plenty of soap and water, remove contaminated clothing, get medical attention if irritation develops
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes cautiously with water for 15 minutes, lift eyelids occasionally, contact physician if redness or discomfort remains
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, do not induce vomiting, seek medical help if large quantity swallowed or discomfort occurs
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam
Special Hazards: Product does not burn easily, at high temperatures may release toxic fumes like ammonia, nitrogen oxides, phosphorus oxides
Protective Equipment: Use self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Advice for Firefighters: Approach fire from upwind, avoid inhaling vapors, keep away from degraded material runoff
Personal Precautions: Don gloves, safety goggles, dust mask if needed, restrict access to area until clean-up finished
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into the soil, drains, or aquatic environments
Clean-Up Methods: Carefully collect spillage using a vacuum with HEPA filter or sweep; minimize dust generation, place in suitable container for disposal, ventilate area thoroughly
Handling: Work in well-ventilated space, avoid generating airborne dust, keep containers tightly closed, use tools to prevent contact with skin
Storage: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas, shield from direct sunlight and moisture, keep away from incompatible substances such as strong oxidizers or acids, do not store near food or drink
Exposure Limits: No specific national exposure limits, but keeping dust below 10 mg/m³ (inhalable) is best practice
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust, dust collection, or enclosure during high-dust activities
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety glasses with side shields, dust mask (N95 or better for fine powders), nitrile or rubber gloves, clean overalls or lab coat
Hygiene: Wash hands after handling, do not eat or smoke in work area, keep work clothes separate from family laundry
Appearance: White, fine powder
Odor: Odorless
Melting Point: Decomposes before melting above 300°C
Solubility: Very low in water
pH: 5 – 7 (in 10% aqueous slurry)
Density: About 1.8 g/cm³
Particle Size: Fine particulate, typically <20 microns
Vapor Pressure: Negligible
Flash Point: Not applicable
Explosive Properties: Dust can form explosive mixtures in air at high concentrations
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended usage, storage, and handling; avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, alkalis, oxidizers
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Nitrogen oxides, ammonia, phosphorus oxides upon combustion or thermal decomposition
Hazardous Reactions: No dangerous reactions occur under normal conditions
Polymerization: Will not occur
Likely Exposure Routes: Inhalation, eye and skin contact
Acute Toxicity: LD50 (oral, rat) >5000 mg/kg (low acute toxicity)
Chronic Effects: No evidence of long-term health effects at typical exposure levels
Irritation: Can irritate eyes, skin by direct contact; respiratory irritation possible for sensitive individuals if exposed to dust
Sensitization: No data suggests allergic sensitization
Carcinogenicity/Mutagenicity: Classified as non-carcinogenic and non-mutagenic based on available studies
Additional Information: Not expected to bioaccumulate or cause reproductive harm
Ecotoxicity: Not classified as hazardous to aquatic life, low water solubility limits dispersion in environment
Persistence and Degradability: Chemically stable, breaks down slowly in soil over time
Bioaccumulation Potential: Not likely to build up in aquatic organisms due to low solubility and absorption
Mobility in Soil: Very low mobility; particulate nature means most spills remain near surface of soil
Other Adverse Effects: No known significant effects on ozone layer or global warming based on current data
Disposal Methods: Dispose of in accordance with local regulations for non-hazardous materials, send to approved landfill or incinerator
Contaminated Packaging: Rinse and recycle containers if possible, container remains may go with general waste if thoroughly cleaned
Special Precautions: Do not discharge to sewer, natural waterways, or unapproved dumps; avoid generating airborne dust during disposal activities
UN Number: Not regulated for land, air, or sea
Proper Shipping Name: Melamine Polyphosphate
Hazard Class: Not classified as hazardous
Packing Group: Not required
Special Precautions: Use secure, closed containers to avoid spillage, avoid direct sunlight and keep dry during transit
Labeling: Not considered dangerous goods, but recommended to mark as “Dust-Irritant” where practical
Regulatory Status: Not listed as hazardous under EU REACH, US OSHA, or UN GHS
Inventory Listings: May be listed under TSCA, EINECS, DSL depending on region
Safety Assessments: Routine workplace precautions for handling dusts recommended by most regulators, no specific national restrictions known
Other Notes: Always check most recent local and international legislation before large-scale use
