First-aid measures

Inhalation : Not specifically applicable.

Skin contact : Remove all contaminated clothing and footwear.  Wash with soap and water.  In case of inflammation (redness, irritation) obtain medical attention.

Eye contact : Rinse with running water whilst keeping the eyes wide oopne (at least 15 minutes).  If irritation persists, consult a doctor.

Ingestion : NEVER attempt to induce vomiting.  Rinse mouth with water.  If necessary seek medical advice.

Further information : Place contaminated clothing in a sealed bag for disposal.  Use appropriate protective equipment when treating a contaminated person.

Fire-fighting measures

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA

Suitable : All extinguishing agents can be used (water, foam, powders, carbon dioxide, sand).

Not suitable : None to our knowledge.  If there is a fire close by, use suitable extinguishing agents.

Specific hazards : On heating or during combustion: Corrosive vaours are released.  Dense white fumes are given off which may obscure the area.  Toxic and highly flammable gases are released, which increase fire/explosion hazards.  

Specific fire fighting methods : Usual methods for dealing with chemical fires.  Cool down the containers/equipment exposed to heat with a water spray.

Protection of fire-fighters : Self-contained breathing apparatus.  Complete protective clothing.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions : Avid contact with skin and eyes.  If spillage occurs on the public highway, indicate the danger and notify the authorities (police, fire brigade).  Full protective clothing and equipment.

Environmental precautions : Contain the spilled material by bunding.  Avoid direct discharge into drains.

Handling and storage

HANDLING

Safe handling advice : Handling and use in accordance with good occupational hygiene and safety practice.

STORAGE

Technical measures : Take all necessary precautions to avoid the accidental release of the product outside, due to rupture of containers or transfer systems.  Ensure that there is a suitable retention system.  Store facilities should be dry.

STORAGE CONDITIONS

Recommended : Store in a cool, dry area.

Incompatible products : Oxidising agents and oxidising materials.

Packaging : Polyethylene or polypropylene drums (high density).

Exposure limit values (Human health)

Limist (UK) : No specific limits.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Hand protection : Protective  gloves made of PVC.  Use suitable chemical-resistant protective gloves (compliant with Standard EN 374-1).  Protective gloves must be chosen according to the function of the work station; other chemicals which may be handled, physical protection necessary (resistance to cutting, puncture, heat), dexterity required.  The selection of gloves must take into account the extent and duration of use at the workstation.  

Eye protection : safety spectacles with side shields.

Skin and body protection : Protective clothing.  Safety footwear.  Protective equipment must be chosen according to current CEN standards and in cooperation with the supplier protective equipment.  Personal protective equipment must be defined after risk assessment for the workstation.

Collective emergency equipment : Safety shower.  Eye fountain.

Hygiene measures : Keep personal protective equipment in a clean place, away from the work area.  Use clean and correctly maintained personal protective equipment.  Always wash your hands after handling the product.  Do NOT eat or drink in the workplace.  

Further information : The user is responsible for monitoring the working environment in accordance with local laws and regulations.

Stability and reactivity

Stability : Stable at ambient temperature and under normal conditions of use.

HAZARDOUS REACTIONS

Conditions to avoid : Decomposes above 200degC

Materials to avoid : Oxidising agents.

Hazardous decomposition products : On combustion or on thermal decomposition (following the evapouration of water) releases: (carbon oxides (CO + CO2)) corrosive vapours (Phosphorus oxides).  Above 200degC releases (Phosphine).  The phosphine will burn on to phosphorus pentoxide unless there is insufficient fresh air.
