SECTION 3: PHYSICAL DATA FOR MATERIAL
pH: 1.0 (at a concentration of 100%)
Solubility in water: Complete
Appearance: Clear Liquid
Odor: Odorless ?no added fragrances
Specific Gravity: 1.3 (approximate)
Vapor Pressure: low
VOC Content: N/A
SECTION 4: FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARD OF MATERIAL
Flash Point: N/A
Fire & Explosion Hazards: Phosphoric acid solutions are non-combustible, however, contact with metals
can result in the generation of hydrogen, giving rise to potentially flammable and explosive mixtures.
Thermal decomposition from fires may produce irritating and poisonous gases. Contact with common
metals may release flammable hydrogen gas. Use water spray to keep containers cool and to flush any
spillage away from metals and fire.
Extinguishing Media: If involved in a fire, use water spray. Avoid spraying into containers. If only a small
amount of combustibles are present, smother fire with dry chemical. All standard agents are acceptable.
Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.
SECTION 5: HEALTH & HAZARD DATA
Signs & Symptoms of Exposure: DANGER ?CAUSES EYE & SKIN BURNS. Contact will cause severe
burns, which may result in blindness. Prolonged contact with skin will cause burns. If swallowed, it will
cause burns to mouth, stomach and digestive tract. Also nausea, vomiting possible, circulatory shock and/or
loss of consciousness. Can be fatal.
Eye Contact: Contact with the eyes will cause severe burns and/or blindness. Brief contact may cause
reversible redness, swelling and mucous discharge. Prolonged contact may cause burns and damage to
corneas.
Skin Contact: Contact with the skin or mucous will cause chemical burns.
Inhalation: Inhalation of mists or spray may cause burns to the nose, throat and respiratory tract, possibly
resulting in nausea, vomiting, possible circulatory shock and loss of consciousness.
PLC-35 page2
Ingestion: Ingestion will cause burns to the mouth, throat, esophagus and stomach. Immediate pain will be
experienced to exposed mucous membranes. In severe poisoning, mucous membranes may become
necrotic, appearing grayish-white or black. Nausea, vomiting and gastric hemorrhage may occur. Severe
cases may progress to ulceration of membranes, circulatory collapse with clammy skin, weak and rapid
pulse, shallow respiration and scanty urine. A major hazard of ingestion is from aspiration (breathing) of
liquid into the lungs, particularly from vomiting. May be fatal.
Chronic/Carcinogenic Effects: Product Carcinogenic ?NTP: No; IARC: No; OSHA: No; ACGIH: No
Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Pre-existing respiratory conditions & skin conditions such as
dermatitis.
Conditions Aggravated by Overexposure: Irritation from skin exposure may aggravate existing open
wounds, skin disorders & dermatitis conditions.
SECTION 6: FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: In case of contact with eyes, immediately flush with clean, low-pressure water for at least 15
minutes. Hold eyelids apart to ensure adequate flushing. Get immediate medical attention. Speed in
treatment can prevent serious eye damage. If wearing contact lenses, remove them immediately.
Skin: Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after use
or contact. See a physician if redness, irritation or burns occur. Launder clothes before reuse.
Inhalation: In case of inhalation, move person to fresh air at once and call a physician. Keep person quiet.
If person is not breathing, ensure that the airway is open and administer CPR. If necessary, provide
additional air or oxygen once breathing is restored. Seek medical care.
Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING BECAUSE OF THE DANGER OF ASPIRATION OF
LIQUID INTO LUNGS. Seek immediate medical attention. Rinse mouth with water. Administer 1 or 2
glasses of water to drink. Never administer liquids to an unconscious person. If spontaneous vomiting
occurs, lean victim forward to reduce the risk of aspiration. Get immediate medical attention. Monitor for
breathing difficulty.
SECTION 7: REACTIVITY DATA
Stability: Stable.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
Conditions to Avoid: Heat.
Materials to Avoid: May react with strong alkalis and most metals. Phosphoric acid may react with
common metals, such as mild steel and aluminum, liberating flammable hydrogen gas. Phosphoric acid also
reacts with alcohols, glycols, aldehydes, amides, carbamates, esters, ketones, phenols, cresols,
organophosphates, epoxides and organic peroxides.
SECTION 8: LEAK OR SPILL INFORMATION
Containment/Clean-up: Ventilate area of spill or leak. Dike area ahead of spill to prevent entry into
sewers or waterways. Absorb or neutralize with suitable material, such as dry earth or sand. Collect and
place in suitable, labeled waste container. Rinse spill residue with water. Residue can be neutralized with
soda ash.
SECTION 9: SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
Respiratory Protection: When respirators are required, select NIOSH/MSHA approved equipment, based
on actual or potential airborne concentrations and in accordance with the latest OSHA Standard 29 CFR
1910.134 and/or ANSI Z88.2 recommendations.
Gloves: Wear neoprene chemical resistant gloves, rubber boots and apron.
Eye Protection: Wear safety goggles or face shield to prevent accidental eye contact.
Engineering Controls: Use with adequate general and local exhaust ventilation to prevent vapor buildup
above the exposure limits of the ingredients. If misting or spraying can occur, local exhaust ventilation
should be used.
