Inhalation: Move to fresh air, keep comfortable for breathing, seek medical attention if irritation continues.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash with soap and water, consult physician if irritation develops.
Eye Contact: Rinse thoroughly with water for several minutes, keep eyes wide open, seek medical help if symptoms persist.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, get medical advice if large amounts swallowed.
Symptoms to Watch: Coughing, itching, redness, eye watering, dizziness after exposure.
Advice to Physician: Treat based on symptoms, supportive care as needed.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide.
Unsuitable Media: Do not use high pressure water jet, may disperse powder.
Hazardous Decomposition: Thermal decomposition may produce ammonia, phosphorus oxides, nitrogen oxides.
Special Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear full gear and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Fire and Explosion Hazards: Product dust can form explosive mixtures with air in confined spaces, use dust control measures.
Precautions: Remove containers from fire area if safe, cool with water mist.
Personal Precautions: Avoid dust generation, ventilate area, use protective goggles, gloves, mask.
Spill Cleanup: Shovel or sweep up into suitable container, minimize dust, mop area with water after collection.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent runoff into drains, water sources or soil.
Disposal: Collect residues for proper waste management under local regulation.
Reporting: Notify authorities if large releases threaten environment.
Handling: Use in well-ventilated areas, keep containers sealed, work away from food and drink, avoid breathing powder.
Storage: Keep cool, dry, and away from heat sources or sunlight, store in original packaging or suitable closed containers.
Compatible Materials: Non-reactive with common plastics, metals, store away from oxidizers and strong acids.
Hygiene Practices: Wash hands after use, do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling.
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established values for product, control dust to below 5 mg/m³ through ventilation.
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust, enclosed processes, or general ventilation.
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety goggles, chemical-resistant gloves, dust mask (minimum P2), protective clothing.
Respiratory Protection: Use respirator for dust concentrations over permissible limit.
Environmental Controls: Use dust collection systems at transfer points, prevent emission to outside air.

Conditions to Avoid: Extreme heat, sources of ignition, strong acids, and oxidizing agents.
Incompatible Materials: Concentrated acids, alkalis, strong oxidizers.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Ammonia, phosphorus oxides, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide at high temperatures.
Polymerization: Not expected to occur.
Acute Toxicity: Low oral toxicity, mild skin and eye irritation in sensitive persons.
Chronic Effects: No available evidence for chronic toxicity under routine use.
Sensitization: Rare reports of mild skin sensitization or respiratory reactions from prolonged dust exposure.
Carcinogenicity: Not listed as carcinogen by NTP, IARC, OSHA.
Mutagenicity: No data indicating mutagenicity.
Target Organs: Respiratory tract, skin, eyes in case of direct exposure.
Other Data: No systemic toxicity expected under normal handling.
Ecotoxicity: Low acute toxicity for aquatic organisms at typical release levels.
Mobility: Expected to have low mobility in soil, binds to particles.
Persistence and Degradability: Components degrade slowly, persistent in water but eventually mineralize.
Bioaccumulation: No significant potential observed in studies of main ingredients.
Aquatic Impact: Excessive release may affect local water systems through nutrient imbalance.
