Phosphorus Content: 40%±2% by weight
Carrier Resin: Polyolefin compound
Impurities: Trace metallic salts from catalyst, less than 1%
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, keep calm, seek medical help if breathing difficulty or cough persists
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, rinse skin with soap and water for 15 minutes, consult a doctor if irritation continues
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes carefully with water for at least 15 minutes, do not rub, get medical attention
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, seek medical advice immediately—inform the physician about red phosphorus content
Advice for doctor: Symptomatic treatment, monitor for delayed respiratory or systemic effects
Suitable Extinguishing Agents: Dry chemical powder, foam, sand, CO2 extinguisher
Not Recommended: Water jet, due to phosphorus hydrolysis reactions
Specific Hazards: Burns produce hazardous phosphine gas, toxic fumes, dense smoke
Protective Equipment: Full protective gear, self-contained breathing apparatus
Special Precautions: Remove unaffected containers from the fire zone, avoid run-off mixing into drainage
Personal Precautions: Evacuate area, wear protective gloves, goggles, and dust mask
Spill Response: Sweep up granules carefully, avoid dust formation, seal in labeled container for disposal
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from entering sewers or waterways, report major spills
Clean-up Method: Ventilate affected area, use only spark-proof tools, avoid open flames
Waste Disposal: See disposal considerations section
Safe Handling: Use with adequate ventilation, avoid direct contact with skin and eyes, keep container tightly closed between uses
Prohibited Actions: No eating, drinking, or smoking near product; do not breathe dust, use no open flames or sources of ignition
Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from moisture, heat, and oxidizing materials
Compatible Packaging: Airtight polypropylene or polyethylene containers, labeled for hazardous goods
Storage Life: Use within one year for best performance and reduced risk
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation or process enclosure, spark-proof systems
Personal Protection: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), full-cover goggles, NIOSH-approved dust mask or respirator
Hygiene: Wash hands thoroughly after handling, change soiled clothes immediately
Monitoring: Regular air monitoring for phosphorus dust, periodic health checks for workers exposed chronically
Appearance: Dark-red to violet, cylindrical or pelletized granules
Odor: Nearly odorless
Melting Point: Decomposition above 300°C
Boiling Point: Not applicable
Density: 1.2–1.4 g/cm3
Solubility: Insoluble in water and most solvents
Flash Point: Typically above 100°C (carrier-dependent)
Explosive Properties: Not classified as explosive, but supports combustion if strong ignition source present
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage and handling
Reactivity: May react with strong oxidizers, acids, and alkalis; releases toxic gases if overheated
Polymer Carrier Stability: Stable unless exposed to temperatures over 250°C
Hazardous Decomposition: Phosphorus oxides, carbon oxides, possible traces of phosphine
Acute Toxicity: Inhalation and swallowing may cause respiratory irritation, abdominal pain, nausea
Chronic Toxicity: Repeated exposure increases risk for lung and liver effects
Carcinogenicity: Red phosphorus not listed as carcinogen by IARC or OSHA
Routes of Entry: Inhalation, ingestion, skin and eye contact
Symptoms of Overexposure: Sneezing, headache, skin rash, difficulty breathing (in heavy exposure cases)
Aquatic Toxicity: Harmful to fish and aquatic organisms, can cause oxygen depletion in closed water bodies
Mobility: Granules remain in soil; little migration unless physically moved
Persistence: Persistent in soil and sediment
Bioaccumulation: Unlikely in polymer-bound form, but raw phosphorus may accumulate in benthic organisms
Recommendations: Avoid discharge to the environment
Waste Treatment: Incinerate at approved facility with afterburner and scrubber
Packaging Disposal: Empty containers follow hazardous-waste container guidelines—rinse thoroughly before recycling where regulations allow
Special Instructions: Keep waste dry, labeled, and separate from food waste; follow local regulations for phosphorus-containing chemicals
Do Not: Dump into sewage, surface water, or soil without official permission
