General Advice: Move exposed individual from exposure source, remove contaminated clothing
If Inhaled: Allow to breathe fresh air, seek medical advice if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Wash with water and mild soap, seek help if irritation continues
Eye Contact: Rinse open eyes with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses, seek immediate medical attention for persistent irritation
If Swallowed: Rinse mouth, drink water, do not induce vomiting, get medical help if unwell
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, sand, or special powder for metal fires (Class D); water or foam not recommended
Unsuitable Media: Water jet, CO2 may be ineffective on deep-seated metal fires
Special Hazards: Fire can release toxic and corrosive fumes such as phosphine and iron oxides
Protective Equipment: Full protective gear, self-contained breathing apparatus
Specific Methods: Isolate fire area, use non-sparking tools, prevent powder from entering drains during firefighting
Personal Precautions: Wear dust mask, goggles, gloves, avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing
Environmental Precautions: Prevent runoff to water systems, contain spills, inform authorities of significant spills
Cleanup Methods: Vacuum or sweep up using methods minimizing dust generation, transfer to sealed container, ventilate contaminated area after cleanup
Handling: Wear personal protection, avoid breathing dust, handle away from open flames, sparks, static electricity, keep containers sealed when not in use
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from oxidizers, acids, combustibles, and moisture; ground containers to prevent static discharge
Incompatible Materials: Acids, strong oxidizers, halogens
Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific limits for SFPP, keep total dust below 10 mg/m³ (as general dust limit)
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, process enclosure to control airborne dust
Respiratory Protection: Dust respirator (P2 or N95), especially if airborne concentrations increase
Hand Protection: Chemical-resistant gloves, wash hands after use
Eye Protection: Safety goggles, face shield for high-dust applications
Skin Protection: Long-sleeved work clothing, safety shoes
Form: Ultrafine powder
Color: Gray to dark gray
Odor: Odorless or faint metallic
Melting Point: 1050–1100°C
Boiling Point: Not applicable (decomposes)
Density: 5.8–6.5 g/cm³
Solubility: Insoluble in water
pH (suspension): Neutral
Vapor Pressure: Not applicable
Flammability: Fine powder may ignite in air
Particle Size: Less than 10 microns, variable by grade
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage and usage
Reactive Conditions: Contact with acids releases phosphine gas, contact with strong oxidizers may result in violent reactions
Incompatible Materials: Acids, oxidizers, halogens
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Phosphine, iron oxides, other oxides of phosphorus if involved in fire or heated excessively
Acute Toxicity: Low systemic toxicity by inhalation or ingestion, dust may aggravate pre-existing respiratory disorders
Skin Irritation: Mild irritation possible after prolonged or repeated contact
Eye Irritation: Causes mechanical irritation, possible redness or pain
Chronic Effects: Long-term exposure may impair lung function in sensitive workers
Sensitization: Not classified as a skin or respiratory sensitizer
Carcinogenicity: Not listed as a carcinogen by IARC, NTP, OSHA
Mutagenicity: No evidence found in current studies
Reproductive Toxicity: Not documented
Ecotoxicity: Harmful to aquatic life due to phosphorus content; may disrupt natural phosphorus levels in water and soil
Persistence and Degradability: Inorganic material, not biodegradable
Bioaccumulation Potential: Low for iron, moderate for phosphorus in aquatic environments
Soil Mobility: Limited mobility, though fine powder can migrate in water runoff
Additional Notes: Avoid release to the environment; local regulations may require special procedures for cleanup and disposal
Product Disposal: Gather unused material in sealed containers, label as hazardous waste; recycle if possible through licensed facility
Contaminated Packaging: Empty containers retain residues, handle cautiously, do not reuse
Disposal Methods: Landfill at permitted facilities or incineration under controlled conditions according to local, regional, national regulations
