Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SWALLOWED
鈥? IF SWALLOWED, REFER FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION, WHERE POSSIBLE, WITHOUT DELAY.
鈥? For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor.
EYE
For THERMAL burns:
鈥? Do NOT remove contact lens
鈥? Lay victim down, on stretcher if available and pad BOTH eyes, make sure dressing does not press on the injured eye by placing thick pads
under dressing, above and below the eye.
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
鈥? Immediately hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water.
鈥? Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper
and lower lids.
SKIN
If skin or hair contact occurs:
鈥? Immediately flush body and clothes with large amounts of water, using safety shower if available.
鈥? Quickly remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.
In case of burns:
鈥? Immediately apply cold water to burn either by immersion or wrapping with saturated clean cloth.
鈥? DO NOT remove or cut away clothing over burnt areas. DO NOT pull away clothing which has adhered to the skin as this can cause further
injury.
INHALED
鈥? If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
鈥? Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
Treat symptomatically.
Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
For SMALL FIRES:
鈥? Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or foam.
For LARGE FIRES:
鈥? Foam, fog or water spray.
FIRE FIGHTING
鈥? Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.
鈥? Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves.
鈥? Wear SCBA and chemical splash suit
鈥? Structural firefighter's uniform may provide limited protection.

Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD
Solid in contact with water or moisture may generate sufficient heat to ignite combustible materials.
鈥? May ignite on contact with air leading to spontaneous combustion
鈥? May decompose explosively when heated or involved in fire.
Combustion products include.
sulfur oxides (SOx).
phosphorus oxides (POx).
caustic compounds, metal oxides.
FIRE INCOMPATIBILITY
Avoid contamination with oxidising agents i.e. nitrates, oxidising acids, chlorine bleaches, pool chlorine etc.<\p>.
HAZCHEM: 1YE
Personal Protective Equipment
Breathing apparatus.
Gas tight chemical resistant suit.
Limit exposure duration to 1 BA set30 mins.
Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
MINOR SPILLS
鈥? Eliminate all ignition sources.
鈥? Cover with WET earth, sand or other non-combustible material.
MAJOR SPILLS
鈥? Clear area of personnel and move upwind.
鈥? Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.
鈥? Clear area of personnel and move upwind.
鈥? Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.
Personal Protective Equipment advice is contained in Section 8 of the MSDS.
Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING
鈥? Avoid all personal contact, including inhalation.
鈥? Wear protective clothing when risk of overexposure occurs.
SUITABLE CONTAINER
For low viscosity materials and solids:
Drums and jerricans must be of the non-removable head type.
Where a can is to be used as an inner package, the can must have a screwed enclosure.
STORAGE INCOMPATIBILITY
Contact with acids produces toxic fumes.
Contact with water can cause heating and decomposition.
Contact with moisture or water may generate heat causing ignition.
鈥? Phosphates are incompatible with oxidising and reducing agents.
鈥? Phosphates are susceptible to formation of highly toxic and flammable phosphine gas in the presence of strong reducing agents such as
hydrides.
Avoid reaction with oxidising agents.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
Store below 38 deg. C.
Store under an inert gas, e.g. argon or nitrogen.
FOR MINOR QUANTITIES:
鈥? Store in an indoor fireproof cabinet or in a room of noncombustible construction.
鈥? Provide adequate portable fire-extinguishers in or near the storage area.

HANDS/FEET
鈥? Fire resistant/ heat resistant gloves where practical.
otherwise
鈥? Heavy-duty chemically resistant gloves capable of providing short-term.
NOTE: The material may produce skin sensitisation in predisposed individuals. Care must be taken, when removing gloves and other protective
equipment, to avoid all possible skin contact.
OTHER
鈥? Overalls.
鈥? Eyewash unit.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
鈥? Local exhaust ventilation is required where solids are handled as powders or crystals; even when particulates are relatively large, a
certain proportion will be powdered by mutual friction.
鈥? Exhaust ventilation should be designed to prevent accumulation and recirculation of particulates in the workplace.
