First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, keep at rest in a comfortable position, get medical help if symptoms linger
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, rinse skin with water and soap, seek assistance if irritation continues
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lift eyelids, remove contact lenses, consult doctor if redness or pain remains
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, drink water to dilute, call poison center or physician if feeling unwell
Advice for Doctor: Treat symptomatically

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, foam
Unsuitable Media: High-pressure water jets could spread fire
Hazards from Combustion: Toxic fumes, phosphorous oxides, carbon oxides, irritant smoke
Special PPE: Full-face self-contained breathing apparatus, fire-resistant clothing
Specific Methods: Cool containers exposed to fire, avoid breathing vapors or dust, prevent run-off to drains

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Use protective gloves, splash goggles, dust mask, avoid contact and inhalation
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into sewers, waterways, soil
Containment: Absorb with sand or inert absorbent, shovel into labeled containers for disposal
Cleanup Methods: Sweep or vacuum dust using equipment with dust collection to prevent airborne particles, avoid dry sweeping in large spills, ventilate area

Handling and Storage

Safe Handling: Operate with ventilation or local exhaust, avoid generation of dust, never eat, drink, or smoke while working, wash hands after handling
Storage Conditions: Keep in closed containers, store in cool, dry, ventilated area away from strong acids, alkalis, oxidizers, incompatible organics
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizing agents, moisture
Packaging: Use original unopened packaging, secure against tipping or breakage

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation to reduce airborne concentrations, dust extraction systems at transfer points
Exposure Limits: No OSHA or ACGIH limits for main components, keep below nuisance dust threshold: 10 mg/m³ (inhalable), 3 mg/m³ (respirable)
Protective Equipment: Safety goggles, chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile, PVC), long-sleeve work clothing, NIOSH-approved particle respirator or half-mask respirator in dusty areas
Hygiene Measures: No eating or drinking at workstation, wash thoroughly before breaks and after work

Stability and Reactivity

Reactivity: Stable under normal use and storage
Chemical Stability: Won’t polymerize, holds form below decomposition temperature
Hazardous Reactions: Avoid contact with strong oxidizers; exothermic reactions possible
Conditions to Avoid: High heat, direct sunlight, moisture, strong acids or alkalis
Hazardous Decomposition: Phosphorous and carbon oxides, possible toxic fumes if overheated
Incompatible Materials: Peroxides, nitrates, acids, alkalis

Toxicological Information

Acute Toxicity: Oral and dermal routes show low toxicity in animal studies, main effect is mild irritation
Chronic Toxicity: No known chronic effects in humans, no evidence of carcinogenicity or mutagenicity
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation of dust, skin and eye contact, accidental ingestion
Symptoms: Cough, eye redness, transient skin dryness, mild upset stomach with ingestion
Sensitization: Not expected to cause skin or respiratory sensitization
Additional Data: Not listed or classified by NTP, IARC, or OSHA as a carcinogen

Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity: Not harmful to aquatic life at typical environmental concentrations, but large releases could elevate phosphate levels
Persistence and Degradability: Inorganic ingredient not rapidly biodegradable, remains in soil or sediment
Bioaccumulation: Not likely to build up in aquatic animals
Mobility in Soil: Limited solubility, tends to bind to soil particles
Other Effects: High phosphate content may promote eutrophication in surface waters after large accidental releases

Disposal Considerations

Safe Disposal Methods: Gather waste material, place in labeled containers, dispose in accordance with local regulations
Disposal of Contaminated Packaging: Triple rinse containers before disposal or recycling, follow state and regional guidelines
Other Notes: Do not discharge to drains, watercourses, or soil; hand over to licensed waste contractor
