Special Hazardous Products: Heated product may release phosphorus oxides
Protective Equipment: Firefighters wear suitable protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus
Personal Precautions: Avoid dust formation, use protective gloves and goggles
Environmental Precautions: Prevent large amounts from entering waterways, sweep up spills to avoid slip hazard
Methods for Clean-Up: Collect spills using a clean, dry shovel or vacuum cleaner with HEPA filter, place in labeled containers for reuse or disposal, flush residue with plenty of water
Handling: Minimize dust generation, handle in well-ventilated areas, wear suitable protective equipment
Storage: Store in tightly sealed containers, keep in dry, cool area away from strong acids and alkalis, avoid exposure to moisture, store away from incompatible substances to prevent contamination
Specific Use: Follow food safety protocols, keep food grade product segregated from industrial chemicals
Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific limit set for MKP; use general particulate limits
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation for dusty situations
Personal Protection Equipment: Safety glasses, gloves, dust mask or respirator for dusty work, change contaminated clothing promptly, maintain good workplace hygiene by washing hands and arms after use

Solubility: Highly soluble in water, forms a clear solution
pH (1% solution): Around 4.3-4.7
Melting Point: Decomposes above 252°C
Density: 2.34 g/cm³
Other: Hygroscopic, may cake if exposed to high humidity
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions
Reactivity: May react with strong acids to produce heat and phosphoric acid, avoid strong oxidizers and alkalis
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur
