4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Eye: Immediately flush victim's eyes with large quantities of water, while holding the eyelids apart. Get medical attention if irritation occurs and persists.

Skin: Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops. Remove and launder clothing before reuse.

Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water and give one glass of water to drink. Never give anything by mouth an uncouncious or convulsing person. Get medical attention.

Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. If breathing is difficult or irritation persists, get medical attention.

Most important Symptoms: May cause eye irritation. May cause skin irritation on prolonged or repeated contact. Inhalation of mists may cause mucous membrane and respiratory irritation.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Suitable (and Unsuitable) Extinguishing Media: Use media appropriate for surrounding fire. Cool fire exposed containers and structures with water.

Specific hazards arising from the chemical: Thermal decomposition may yield oxides of sodium, and phosphorus.

Special Protective Equipment and Precautions for Fire-Fighting Instructions: Firefighters should wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Aqueous solutions may cause surfaces to be extremely slippery and cause a slip hazard.

Explosion Data (sensitivity to mechanical impact or static discharge): None known.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment, and Emergency Procedures: Evacuate spill area and keep unprotected personnel away. Wear appropriate protective clothing as described in Section 8. Aqueous solutions may cause surfaces to be extremely slippery and cause a slip hazard.

Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up: Dike and collect liquid or absorb with an inert absorbent and place in appropriate containers for disposal. Prevent spill from entering sewers and water courses. Report releases as required by local, state and federal authorities.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for Safe Handling: Avoid contact with the eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing mists or aerosols. Wear protective clothing and equipment as described in Section 8. Use with adequate ventilation.

Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Keep containers closed when not in use.

Do not reuse containers. Empty containers retain product residues can be hazardous. Follow all SDS precautions when handling empty containers.

Conditions for Safe Storage, Including Any Incompatibilities: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Protect from physical damage.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Exposure Guidelines:

Inorganic Phosphates None Established

Engineering Controls: Use with adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to maintain exposure levels below the occupational exposure limits.

Respiratory Protection: In operations where exposure levels are exceeded, a NIOSH approved respirator with dust/mist cartridges or supplied air respirator appropriate for the form and concentration of the contaminants should be used. Selection and use of respiratory equipment must be in accordance with OSHA 1910.134 and good industrial hygiene practice.

Skin Protection: Wear impervious gloves such as rubber or neoprene if needed to avoid prolonged skin contact.

Eye Protection: Safety glasses recommended.

Other: Long-sleeved clothing and long pants recommended to avoid prolonged skin contact. Suitable washing facilities should be available in the work area.
