Special Hazards: Releases toxic vapors including hydrogen fluoride and phosphorous oxides. Burning product emits corrosive and irritating fumes.
Protective Equipment: Firefighters wear self-contained breathing apparatus, chemical-resistant suit, boots, and gloves.
Advice for Firefighters: Disengage safely and evacuate all personnel if explosion risk is suspected, cool nearby containers with water mist.
Personal Protections: Ventilate area. Wear gloves, chemical splash goggles, and suitable respirator for dust/vapor.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage from entering drains, sewers, or surface water.
Containment Procedures: Collect spilled solid with non-sparking tools in closed, labeled containers. Wipe area with damp cloth—avoid dry sweeping. Use absorbent for liquids.
Cleanup: Dispose of cleanup materials as hazardous chemical waste in sealed bags/containers.
Handling: Avoid direct contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Work with gloves, goggles, and under adequate ventilation or fume hood.
Storage: Store in tightly closed containers in cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Isolate from bases, oxidizers, moisture, strong acids.
Special Notes: Product absorbs moisture rapidly; store under inert gas or in desiccators for long-term stability.
Exposure Limits: No OSHA or ACGIH values; minimize all possible exposures
Engineering Controls: Use with chemical fume hood, local exhaust, and eyewash station
Respiratory Protection: Use approved half- or full-face mask with dust/mist/fume cartridge if ventilation inadequate
Hand Protection: Wear impervious gloves (nitrile or neoprene preferred)
Eye Protection: Chemical splash goggles or face shield
Skin Protection: Chemical-resistant lab coat, closed-toe shoes
Hygiene: No eating, drinking, or smoking during handling. Wash hands and face thoroughly after work. Change contaminated clothing immediately.
