Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
General advice
Consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
If inhaled
If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Consult a physician.
In case of skin contact
Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a
physician.
In case of eye contact
Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician.
If swallowed
Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth with
water. Consult a physician.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: Thermal decomposition may produce toxic fumes of phosphorus oxides and/or phosphine
Oxides of phosphorus
Advice for firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Wear respiratory protection. Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Evacuate personnel to safe areas.
Environmental precautions: Do not let product enter drains.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Soak up with inert absorbent material and dispose of as hazardous waste. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.
Handling and storage
Store in cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.
Storage class (TRGS 510): Non-combustible, corrosive hazardous materials

Exposure controls / personal protection
Exposure limits:
8-hour TWA (ACGIH -US / EU): 1 mg/m3
15-min STEL (EU ELV): 2 mg/m3
Respiratory protection:
Not required to usual works.
In foggy/vapours situations, use a spreading over all facemask with a suitable inorganic acid filter.
If product air concentration is not known, use autonomous breathing equipment.
Hand protection:
Wear suitable gloves (Neoprene gloves)
Eye Protection:
Chemical safety goggles to chemical products or a face protection shield.
Skin protection:
Use natural rubber boots.
Use acid resistant protective clothing.
Stability and reactivity
Stability:
Stable in recommanded storage conditions.
Reactivity:
Exothermic reaction with water.
Reacts violently with strong alkalis.
In contact with reactive metals (as steel to carbon & aluminum) may produce hydrogen.
At high temperature formation of phosphorous oxides.
Disposal considerations
The neutralised liquid can be spilled in accordance to reglamentary normative (Law regulates emptying wastewater containing phosphorous).
The residue of the containers or the used container itself should be disposed in accordance with local requirements.
Sodium carbonate, calcium carbonate and slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) can be used as neutralisers' agents for the material
that cannot be eliminated.
If phosphoric acid is going to be used in aqueous solutions reactions, rinse three times the drum with water.
Comply with local regulations for disposal.
