Section 3 - Hazards Identification
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: colorless or pale yellow liquid.
Warning! Causes digestive and respiratory tract burns. Causes eye and skin
burns. Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air). Corrosive to metal.
Target Organs: Eyes, skin, mucous membranes.
Potential Health Effects
Eye: May cause irreversible eye injury. Contact with liquid is corrosive to the eyes
MSDS Number: SLP004
and causes severe burns.
Skin: Contact with liquid is corrosive and causes severe burns and ulceration. The
severity of injury depends on the concentration of the solution and the duration of
exposure.
Ingestion: Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. May cause corrosion and permanent
tissue destruction of the esophagus and digestive tract.
Inhalation: Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. Because its vapor
pressure is negligible, it exists in the air only as a mist or spray.
Chronic: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
Eyes: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes. Get medical aid.
Skin: In case of contact, flush skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated
clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops and persists. Wash clothing
before reuse.
Ingestion: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical
personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical
aid.
Notes to Physician: Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or impaired
respiratory or pulmonary function may be at increased risk to the effects of this
substance. Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear.
During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal
decomposition or combustion.
Extinguishing Media: Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide.
Flash Point: Not applicable.
Autoignition Temperature: Not available.
Explosion Limits, Lower: Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 0; Instability: 0

MSDS Number: SLP004
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in
Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), then
place in suitable container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to
waterways. Spill may be carefully neutralized with lime (calcium oxide, CaO). Clean
up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section.
Provide ventilation. Observe local, state and federal regulations regarding disposal.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Handling: Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed.
Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash clothing before
reuse.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container. Keep away
from metals. Do not store in metal containers. Store protected from moisture. Store
away from alkalies.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate ventilation to keep
airborne concentrations below permissible limits.

Environmental: The acidity of phosphoric acid may be reduced readily by natural
water hardness minerals, but the phosphate may persist indefinitely. During
transport through the soil, phosphoric acid will dissolve some of the soil material, in
particular, carbonate-based materials. The acid will be neutralized to some degree
with adsorption of the proton and phosphate ions also possible. However, significant
amounts of acid will remain for transport down toward the groundwater table.
Physical: No information available.
Other: Dangerous to aquatic life in high concentrations.
