Hazardous Combustion Products

N.A.

Hazardous Decomposition Products

Phosphorus oxides may form when heated to decomposition.

Hazardous Polymerization

Will not occur under normal conditions of use (See Sections 10.4 & 10.5).

In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.

5.4 Further Information

No data available.

SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

6.1 Personal Precautions

Wear appropriate protective equipment as specified in Section 8.

6.2 Environmental Precautions

Prevent discharge into the environment. Dike spills and stop leakage where practical. Do not allow material to enter drains.

6.3 Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up

Contain and clean up spill immediately, prevent from entering floor drains. Contain liquids using absorbents. Shovel all spill materials into disposal drum. Scrub spill area with detergent, flush with copious amounts of water.

6.4 References to Other Sections

For disposal information see Section 13. For protective clothing and equipment see Section 8.

SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE

7.1 Precautions for Safe Handling

Avoid contact and inhalation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling.

7.2 Conditions for Safe Storage (including any incompatibles)

Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cooled, dry, ventilated area.

Incompatibles

No incompatibility data found.

7.3 Specific End Uses

Investigational research by professional users

SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

8.1 Control Parameters

ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):

10 mg/m3 total dust

OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL):

15 mg/m3 total dust

8.2 Exposure Controls

Engineering Controls

A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source.

Respiratory Protection

For conditions of use where exposure to the dust or mist is apparent, a full-face dust/mist respirator may be worn. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator.

Eye Protection

Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.

Skin Protection

Wear protective gloves and clean body covering clothing.

Potential Health Effects

Inhalation

Not expected to be a health hazard by inhalation.

Ingestion

Phosphates are slowly and incompletely absorbed when ingested, and seldom result in systematic effects. Some adverse health effects have occurred. The toxicity of phosphates is because of their ability to sequester calcium. Acute potassium intoxication by mouth is rare because large single doses usually induce vomiting and because in the absence of pre-existing kidney damage, potassium is rapidly excreted. Potassium poisoning can result in heart effects.

Skin

No adverse effects expected.

Eyes

No adverse effects expected but may cause mechanical irritation.

Carcinogenicity

Not listed as a known or anticipated carcinogen by NTP or IARC.

Mutagenicity

No information found.

Reproductive Toxicity

No information found.

Teratogenic Effects

No information found.

Routes of Entry

No information found.

Target Organ Statement

Persons with impaired kidney function may be more susceptible to the effects of the substance.
