Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Remove patient to fresh air. Symptomatic treatment.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15

minutes.  Obtain immediate medical advice.

Emergency measure - Skin: Remove contaminated clothing immediately and wash skin with

plenty of soap and water.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water spray, alcohol foam, carbon dioxide or chemical dry

agents (water stream may be ineffective) may be used. Use

water to keep containers cool.

Product arising from burning: Products of combustion may contain oxides of carbon and

phosphorus and solvent combustion products, including soot.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Self-contained positive pressure breathing apparatus and

full fire fighting protective clothing should be worn.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Wear suitable protective clothing (see 2.3.1), keep away

from sources of ignition.

Small spills: cover with inert absorbent material. Sweep up

and transfer to suitable labelled containers.

Large spills: dike liquid with sand or clay and cover to

smother any fire. Use non-sparking metal (brass or

aluminium) shovel. Shovel into steel drums until 3/4 full.

Fill completely with uncontaminated sand or clay and seal.

Dispose of by incineration in accordance with local

regulations. Wash spill site with water.

Handling and storage

Handling: Do not handle as the substance itself. The substance should

be handled as a preparation (usually a solution in toluene).

Ensure adequate ventilation. Suitable protective clothing,

impermeable gloves, chemical goggles and a face shield

should be worn. If insufficient ventilation, suitable

respiratory protection should be worn. Exposure of the

preparation to air and other oxidising agents must be

avoided.

Storage: Do not store as the substance itself, store as a preparation

(usually a solution in toluene). Store in tightly closed

containers under an inert atmosphere away from oxidising

material, heat, sparks and flame.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: 700 lb (~1540 kg) vat of a 40% solution of the  material in

toluene.  The package is a steel cylinder constructed to

DOT/CTC 4WB standards.  Tare weight is approximately 300-330

lbs.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: The substance is pyrophoric and thus exposure to air should

be avoided. Oxidation products are the corresponding

phosphine oxide and phosphinic and phosphonic acid

derivatives.

Chemical reaction with water: The substance is pyrophoric, in air but does not appear to

react with water.

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Recovery for reuse is not possible.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The substance can be oxidised with dilute hydrogen peroxide

or dilute sodium hypochlorite.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not recommended.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Recommended method, incinerate as a solution (eg in toluene)

at a suitable facility equipped to handle pyrophoric

substances. Waste gas treatment to remove oxides of

phosphorus should be fitted.  (A661)

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Not recommended.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: The substance will not enter the public domain.
