Melting Point: Range generally between 200 - 220°C (varies with purity)
Boiling Point: Decomposes before boiling
Solubility: Soluble in water and polar organic solvents
Partition Coefficient: Log P not established, likely low due to ionic nature
pH (1% solution): Around neutral to slightly basic
Vapor Pressure: Negligible at ambient temperature
Decomposition Temperature: Above 220°C with potential for hazardous fumes
Other Properties: Stable at standard temperature and pressure when stored dry and away from strong oxidizers
Chemical Stability: Product remains stable under recommended storage and use conditions
Possible Hazardous Reactions: Violent reactions with strong oxidizing agents, possible decomposition under extreme heat resulting in hazardous by-products
Avoidance: Moisture, extreme heat, incompatible reagents such as nitric acid or chlorine
Decomposition Products: Production of phosphine oxides, carbon monoxide, and corrosive hydrogen bromide gas possible when subjected to combustion or decomposition
Exposure Routes: Skin, eyes, inhalation, ingestion
Acute Effects: Skin and eye irritation, upper respiratory tract discomfort on inhalation, digestive disturbance if ingested
Chronic Effects: Possible skin sensitization after repeated exposure, long-term effects not fully studied
Toxicological Data: No established LD50 or LC50 data; based on category, expected to be moderately hazardous
Carcinogenicity: Not listed by IARC, NTP, or OSHA as a carcinogen
Additional Health Hazards: Symptoms like redness, itching, headache, nausea may occur, especially in unventilated settings
Ecotoxicity: Limited data available, ionic structure may pose moderate toxicity to aquatic life, avoid release to environment
Persistence and Degradability: Product likely persists in water and soil due to poor biodegradability, potential for cumulative environmental load
Bioaccumulation: Low due to water solubility and ionic character, bioaccumulation not expected
Mobility in Soil: Readily migrates with water movement, risk of groundwater contamination in case of large spills
Additional Harmful Effects: Product may disrupt microbial communities in wastewater and activated sludge systems
Waste Handling: Treat contaminated material and residues as hazardous waste, collect in suitable containers for licensed chemical disposal company
