Impurities: None identified relevant to hazard classification
Eye Contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, hold eyelids open; seek medical attention for persistent irritation
Skin Contact: Wash skin with plenty of soap and water; remove contaminated clothing and footwear, wash before re-use
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, seek medical attention if symptoms like coughing or dizziness persist
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, do not induce vomiting, seek medical attention if discomfort continues
Most Important Symptoms: Redness, swelling, discomfort of the affected area
Special Notes for Doctors: Treat symptomatically, no specific antidote
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water fog, dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Media: Direct water stream, due to possible spread of contaminants
Specific Hazards: On combustion, produces oxides of carbon, phosphorus, and minor toxic compounds
Protective Equipment: Full protective gear and self-contained breathing apparatus for large fires
Additional Notes: Prevent runoff to drains; firefighting water may be contaminated and require proper disposal
Personal Protection: Use chemical resistant gloves and safety goggles, avoid breathing vapor
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from entering waterways or sewers
Cleanup Methods: Absorb with inert material (sand, earth), collect in labeled containers for disposal
Decontamination: Wash affected area with water and mild detergent after removal
Reporting: Notify local authorities for reportable quantity spills
Handling: Work in well-ventilated areas, minimize direct contact, avoid creating aerosols
Hygiene Practices: Wash hands thoroughly after handling, do not eat or drink in work areas
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed containers, away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers and acids; keep in a cool, dry location away from sunlight
Incompatible Materials: Strong bases, oxidizing agents
Risk of Static: No special risk known for static electricity
Control Parameters: No established OSHA or ACGIH exposure limits for main components
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation for large scale use
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Protective gloves (nitrile or neoprene), safety goggles, long-sleeved clothing
Respiratory Protection: Use NIOSH-approved mask if vapor or mist concentrations are significant
Environmental Controls: Avoid discharge into drains, use spill containment if needed
Routine Monitoring: Not usually required under normal use, monitor air in confined spaces
Appearance: Milky white liquid
Odor: Slight, characteristic, not pungent
pH: 6.5–7.5
Melting Point/Range: Not applicable for liquid
Boiling Point/Range: 100°C (212°F, water-based liquid)
Flashpoint: Does not flash under standard test methods
Evaporation Rate: Similar to water
Solubility: Fully miscible with water
Density: 1.05 g/cm³ (approximate)

Vapor Pressure: Low, similar to water
Decomposition Temperature: Above 180°C (356°F)
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal processing and storage conditions
Reactivity: No hazardous reactivity expected under normal use
Hazardous Reactions: May react with strong acids or bases, leading to breakdown of flame-retardant components
Conditions to Avoid: Do not freeze, avoid temperatures above 40°C
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidants, acid chlorides, bleach
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Burning releases phosphorus oxides, carbon monoxide, small quantities of hydrogen chloride
Acute Toxicity: Low oral and dermal toxicity, not considered a primary skin or eye irritant but can cause temporary discomfort
Chronic Effects: Prolonged exposure may cause dryness or cracking of skin, rare sensitization in predisposed individuals
Inhalation: Mild respiratory irritation if exposed to mists or vapors
Skin Contact: Redness, irritation on repeated/extended contact
Eye Contact: Temporary irritation and redness
Carcinogenicity: Ingredients not classified as carcinogens by IARC, ACGIH, NTP or OSHA
Mutagenicity: No data indicating mutagenic effects
Other Effects: Not known to affect reproductive health or development at exposures used in textile processing
Ecotoxicity: Harmful to aquatic organisms if large quantities enter waterways
Persistence/Degradability: Components show moderate biodegradability; phosphorus and silicon residues can persist in soil
Bioaccumulation Potential: Low, ingredients show limited tendency to accumulate in aquatic or terrestrial food chains
Mobility in Soil: Mobile in water, may leach into groundwater in excessive spillage
Aquatic Toxicity: LC50 (fish): >100 mg/L for diluted product; greater hazard in concentrated forms
