Spill Cleanup: Ventilate area as much as possible, sweep or vacuum up powder, use non-sparking tools, avoid creating dust clouds
Personal Protection: Protective gloves, goggles, disposable mask for fine powders
Environmental Protection: Do not wash into drains or open waterways; collect spilled product in labeled waste containers
Decontamination: Surfaces can be cleaned with water and mild detergent, followed by thorough drying
Disposal of Residues: Store washings and debris for safe disposal as per disposal considerations below
Handling Procedures: Handle in areas with adequate ventilation, use minimal amount to reduce dust, avoid eating or drinking near open packages
Personal Hygiene: Wash hands before breaks and after contact, remove contaminated clothing, avoid touching face or eyes
Storage Conditions: Store sealed in dry, cool, well-ventilated space, away from incompatible substances like strong acids, oxidizers
Container Requirements: Keep in original packaging or tightly closed container, ensure labeling remains visible
Compatibility: Keep away from sources of high heat or open flames, check local guidelines for container storage recommendations
Exposure Limits: No published occupational exposure limits; control dust to lowest practicable level
Engineering Controls: Use exhaust ventilation, local dust extraction, or enclosures for powder handling
Protective Equipment: Safety goggles or glasses, chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene suggested), disposable dust mask (P2 or better) if dusting occurs
Work Practices: Do not consume food or beverages or smoke where handling product, use hand-washing facilities nearby
Environmental Controls: Install collecting pans and spill barriers for large storage areas, ensure no product enters public drains or soil
Appearance: White, fine, free-flowing powder
Odor: Odorless or very faint, non-specific smell

pH (5% Suspension): 6–8
Vapor Pressure: Negligible at room temperature
Stability: Stable in normal shipping and storage conditions
Viscosity: Not relevant for solid powder
Partition Coefficient: Not established, likely low environmental mobility
Chemical Stability: Maintains form under normal storage and transport
Conditions to Avoid: Prolonged exposure to strong heat, strong acids or oxidizers
Hazardous Reactions: Will not polymerize, may slowly hydrolyze in presence of excess water and high temperature
Decomposition Products: Ammonia, phosphorus oxides, nitrogen oxides on burning or charring above 220°C
Incompatibles: Strong acids, alkali, oxidative chemicals, avoid mix with peroxides or strong bases
Shelf Life: Can stay effective for years if kept in original, dry packaging under ambient conditions
Acute Oral Toxicity: Low toxicity; estimated LD50 (oral, rat) greater than 2000 mg/kg
Acute Dermal Toxicity: Low risk of harm through skin absorption
Inhalation Risks: May irritate if dust levels rise; symptoms may include mild coughing, sneezing, discomfort
Chronic Effects: No evidence of skin sensitization or chronic organ toxicity with intended use patterns
Carcinogenicity: Product does not contain listed carcinogens in IARC, NTP, OSHA indices
Mutagenicity: Negative results in standard mutagenicity studies
Other Information: Avoid excessive dust and minimize long-term contact; always use sensible personal hygiene after exposure
Eco-Toxicity: Mildly toxic to aquatic animals if large spill enters waterways, low bioaccumulation risk
Persistence/Degradability: Gradual mineralization; slow breakdown under sunlight and microbial action
Mobility in Soil: Limited movement, tends to stay bound in upper soil layers
Aquatic Impact: Avoid bulk discharges, finely suspended powder can persist and increase turbidity
BOD/COD: No significant oxygen demand in water systems
Bioaccumulation: Does not concentrate in living organisms
Summary: Use spill control to prevent entry into environment, follow local environmental protection rules
