First-aid measures

General advice:


First aid personnel should pay attention to their own safety. If the patient is likely to become
unconscious, place and transport in stable sideways position (recovery position). Immediately
remove contaminated clothing.


If inhaled:


Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air, seek medical attention.


Immediately administer a corticosteroid from a controlled/metered dose inhaler.


On skin contact:


Immediately wash thoroughly with plenty of water, apply sterile dressings, consult a skin specialist.


On contact with eyes:


Immediately wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open, consult an eye specialist.


On ingestion:


Immediately rinse mouth and then drink 200-300 ml of water, seek medical attention.


Note to physician:


Treatment: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specific


antidote.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media:


water spray, foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide


Unsuitable extinguishing media for safety reasons:


Unknown


Specific hazards arising from the substance or mixture:


carbon oxides, phosphorus oxides


Advice for fire-fighters


Special protective equipment:


Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus.


Further information:


The degree of risk is governed by the burning substance and the fire conditions. Contaminated


extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with official regulations.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:


Use personal protective clothing. Information regarding personal protective measures see, chapter 8.


Environmental precautions:


Contain contaminated water/firefighting water. Do not discharge into drains/surface


waters/groundwater.


Methods for cleaning up or taking up:


For large amounts: Pump off product.


For residues: Pick up with suitable absorbent material. Dispose of absorbed material in accordance


with regulations.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling


No special measures necessary provided product is used correctly.


Protection against fire and explosion:


Take precautionary measures against static discharges.


Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities


Further information on storage conditions: Keep container tightly closed and dry; store in a cool place.


Protect from temperatures above: 50 °C

Exposure controls / personal protection

Components with workplace control parameters


756-79-6: dimethyl methylphosphonate


Personal protective equipment


Respiratory protection:


Suitable respiratory protection for lower concentrations or short-term effect: Gas filter for


gases/vapours of organic compounds (boiling point >65 °C, e. g. EN 14387 Type A)


Hand protection:


Chemical resistant protective gloves (EN 374)


Suitable materials also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended: Protective index 6,


corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN 374):


e.g. nitrile rubber (NBR) - 0.4 mm coating thickness


Supplementary note: The specifications are based on tests, literature data and information of glove


manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g.


temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in practice


may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing.


Manufacturer's directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types.


Eye protection:


Tightly fitting safety goggles (cage goggles)(e.g. EN 166) and face shield.


Body protection:


Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. apron, protecting


boots, chemical-protection suit (according to EN 14605 in case of splashes or EN ISO 13982 in case of


dust).


General safety and hygiene measures:


Wearing of closed work clothing is required additionally to the stated personal protection equipment. No eating, drinking, smoking or tobacco use at the place of work Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

Possibility of hazardous reactions
No hazardous reactions when stored and handled according to instructions.



Incompatible materials
Substances to avoid:
amines, carboxylic acids, halides



Hazardous decomposition products:
No hazardous decomposition products if stored and handled as prescribed/indicated

Disposal considerations

Must be disposed of or incinerated in accordance with local regulations.


Contaminated packaging:
Uncontaminated packaging can be re-used.
Packs that cannot be cleaned should be disposed of in the same manner as the contents.
