First-aid measures

General advice: Remove soiled or soaked clothing immediately. Clean body thoroughly (shower or bathe). Call a physician immediately.

Inhalation: In the case of generation of gas (toxic vapours) remove the person out of the danger zone using a self-contained breathing apparatus. Move the patient to fresh air and keep at rest. In the event of symptoms obtain medical treatment.

Skin contact: After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Immediate medical treatment is necessary as untreated wounds from corrosion of the skin heal slowly and with difficulty.

Eye contact: In case of contact with the eyes rinse thoroughly with plenty of water or with an eye-cleaning solution. Call a physician immediately.

Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Rinse out mouth and give plenty of water to drink. Call a physician immediately.

Notes to Physician
Symptoms: Eye and mucous membrane irritation
Risks: Risk of stomach perforation. Risk of pulmonary oedema.
Treatment: Initial treatment should be symptomatic and supportive. By irritation of the lungs: First treatment with Corticord-Spray, e.g.Auxilon, Pulmicort - Dosing aerosol. (Auxilon and Pulmicort are registered Trade Marks)
Oxygen, if needed.
When swallowed, if necessary flush stomach.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: water spray, foam, carbon dioxide (CO2), dry chemical

Specific hazards during fire fighting
In the event of fire the following can be released: carbon monoxide (CO), phosphorus oxides (eg phosphorus pentoxide)

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear full protective suit. In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.

Accidental release measures

Personal Precautions: Use personal protective equipment.

Environmental Precautions: Do not discharge into the drains/surface water/groundwater. If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.

Methods for Cleaning Up: Dilute with water. Do not pick up with the help of saw-dust or other combustible substances. Take up with absorbent material (e.g. sand, earth or a proprietary absorbent material). Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal. Pump up larger quantities.

Handling and storage

This substance is handled under Strictly Controlled Conditions in accordance with REACH regulation Article 17(3) for on-site isolated intermediates and, in case the substance is transported to other sites for further processing, the substance should be handled at these sites under the Strictly Controlled Conditions as specified in REACH regulation Article 18(4). Site documentation to support safe handling arrangements including the selection of engineering, administrative and personal protective equipment controls in accordance with risk-based management systems is available at each manufacturing site.

Handling
Advice on safe handling: Refill and handle product only in closed system. Provide suitable exhaust ventilation at processing machines.

Advice on protection against fire and explosion: The product is combustible. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Danger of ignition due to decomposition to Methylphosphine.

Temperature class T3

Storage
Requirements for storage areas and containers: Store in original container. Protect against heat/overheating. Keep under dry inert gas. Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Make sure that storage location is designed for the storage of spontaneously flammable substances.

Advice on common storage: Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs. Do not store with acids or alkaline substances.
