SECTION IV FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
FLASH POINT (METHOD USED): Non-combustible, >200篎
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: CO2, water, dry chemical
FLAMMABLE LIMITS: LEL: Not Applicable UEL: Not Applicable
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING Use full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. Thermal decomposition emits toxic fumes of
PROCEDURES: oxides of phosphorous and sulfur.
FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Extinguish all nearby sources of ignition since flammable hydrogen gas will be liberated from contact with some
metals. Reacts violently with strong bases.
SECTION V REACTIVITY DATA
STABILITY: Stable
INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS
TO AVOID): Strong alkaline (caustic) materials, reactive metals (mild steel, aluminum), nitric acid, cyanides or sulfides.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION
OR BYPRODUCTS: Oxides of phosphorous upon decomposition and at flame temperatures.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Freezing and extremes of heat
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur

SECTION VI HEALTH HAZARD DATA/FIRST AID PROCEDURES
HEALTH HAZARDS (ACUTE AND CHRONIC): Irritation or corrosion may occur to exposed tissues, especially eyes, skin, throat, nasal cavities and other
mucous membranes from contact with the product, its use solutions, or mists and vapors generated by the product. Eye contact may cause
blindness. Ingestion may be harmful or fatal.
CARCINOGENICITY: NTP: No
IARC Monographs: No
OSHA Regulated: No
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE: Irritation of exposed tissues. Chronic exposure causes burns. Eyes, skin and mucous membranes may
be simultaneously irritated or burned if exposed to mists of product or solutions.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Dermatitis.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
Eyes: If contact with eyes occurs, flush with plenty of cool water for 15 minutes. Consult a physician.
Skin: May be irritating to skin. If contact occurs, flush with water and wear gloves in the future to minimize exposure. Wash hands
thoroughly after handling. Discontinue use if irritation persists and consult a physician.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure. Obtain medical attention immediately.
Ingestion: May be harmful if swallowed. If ingested, drink large amounts of water or milk. DO NOT induce vomiting. Get medical attention
immediately. Avoid contamination of foods.
Note to Physician: Extremely corrosive agent which will burn any exposed tissues upon other than very brief contact. Eyes, skin, and mucous
membranes should be flushed thoroughly with water, and ophthalmologic consultation should be obtained for any corneal burns. In
case of ingestion, immediate dilution with water, milk or demulcent liquids is worthwhile, but attempts to neutralize with a base should
be avoided because of excessive base and heat formation, which may increase the threat of esophagogastric perforation.
Vomiting and diarrhea (laxative effect of phosphates) are to be expected with large doses. Parenteral fluid administration may be
needed if losses therefrom are severe, or if shock ensues. Supportive care may be needed for such other complications as glottal
edema, hematemesis and perforation (unlikely). Induced vomiting should be avoided because local tissue injury may be
aggravated, but the patient should be watched hyperphospatemia and hypocalcemia. Milk or other demulcent liquids may be
worthwhile for gastric irritation.
SECTION VII PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Wear acid-resistant suit and complete protective equipment including rubber
gloves, boots, chemical goggles and faceshield. Small spills: mop up and dispose of in DOT-approved waste containers. Large spills: Contain by
diking with soil or other absorbent material and carefully neutralize with soda ash or lime. If soda ash is used, provide adequate ventilation to
dissipate carbon dioxide gas. Keep unneutralized material out of sewers, storm drains, surface waters, and soil.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Waste disposal must be done in accordance with all local, city or municipality, county, state, and federal regulations.
Consult your state department of natural resources or the EPA for specific questions not answerable through other sources. Wastewater should
never enter a fresh water body without treatment. If material cannot be salvaged, an acceptable method of disposal is neutralization followed by
discharge into treatment system with large amounts of water..
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: Store in a dry, well-ventilated place above 50篎. Store away from all other chemicals and
potential sources of contamination. Do not use pressure to empty container. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on
clothing.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Empty containers may have residues, gases, and mists, and are subject to proper waste disposal, as above. Always obey hazard
warnings and handle empty containers as if they were full. Always keep product out of the reach of children.
SECTION VIII OTHER REGULATORY INFORMATION
California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986: Ethylene oxide 75-21-8
SECTION IX CONTROL MEASURES
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: In general, respirators are not needed if the product is used in a well-ventilated area. However, use of a NIOSH/MSHA
respirator may be a good common sense approach to working with products where dusts and mists are known to
cause irritation of the eyes and/or mucous membranes.
VENTILATION: Local Exhaust: Recommended to control below TLV of 1 ppm for phosphoric acid in 8 hours.
Recommended to control below TLV of 1 ppm for phosphoric acid in 8 hours.
Mechanical (General):
SKIN PROTECTION: Neoprene, rubber, or other chemical resistant gloves. Wear protective clothing to prevent repeated or prolonged
contact.
EYE PROTECTION: Splash goggles, or safety glasses if splashing is not a concern.
WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES: As good hygiene dictates.
