Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide
Fire Hazards: Product can emit hazardous phosphorus oxides, nitrogen oxides, and ammonia fumes on burning
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing
Special Procedures: Cool exposed containers with water, keep run-off out of water sources and sewers

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Avoid dust, ventilate area, wear gloves, goggles, and dust mask
Environmental Precautions: Prevent contamination of waterways, do not let material enter drains
Spill Cleanup Methods: Use shovel or vacuum to collect material, place in sealed containers, sweep up and avoid generating dust, dispose in accordance with local regulations

Handling and Storage

Handling: Use in well-ventilated areas, avoid contact with skin and eyes, do not inhale dust, avoid eating and drinking during handling
Storage: Store in a dry, cool, well-ventilated space, keep containers tightly closed, separate from incompatible chemicals like strong acids and oxidizers, keep away from food and animal feed

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, enclosed handling systems tested for dust emissions
Occupational Exposure Limits: None established for blend; recommended as nuisance dust 10 mg/m³ (total), 5 mg/m³ (respirable)
Respiratory Protection: Approved dust mask or respirator when dust forms
Skin Protection: Nitrile gloves, protective sleeves or apron
Eye Protection: Safety goggles or face shield
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands and face before eating or drinking, immediately remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse
