Section III: Hazards Identifications
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
A viscous, blue-green liquid with a sweet scent. May cause eye and skin irritation.
Vapors and mists may cause nose and throat irritation. May be harmful if swallowed. For
large spills, emergency responders should wear impervious coveralls, boots, gloves, and
goggles, and keep material out of waterways and storm sewers. Absorb spill with inert
material or transfer to a suitable container for reuse or disposal. See section 3, 6, and 10.
Potential Health Effects and Primary Routes of Entry:
Inhalation: Breathing vapors or mists of this product may cause irritation of the nose
and throat.
Skin: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause irritation.
Eyes: Eye contact may cause irritation.
Ingestion: Ingestion may cause mouth, throat, esophagus, and stomach irritation,
nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Ingestion of large doses may cause intestinal
hemorrhages.
Chronic Effects/ Carcinogenicity: None of the components in this product at
concentrations of 0.1% or greater are listed by the NTP, IARC or OSHA as carcinogens.
Section IV: First Aid
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with water for at least 20 minutes and seek immediate
medical attention. Eyelids should be held away from the eyeballs to ensure thorough
rinsing.
Skin: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and
shoes. Seek medical attention if irritation develops and persists. Launder clothing before
reuse.
Inhalation: Move victim to fresh air, administer artificial respiration if not breathing.
Give oxygen if breathing is difficult. Trained person should give oxygen if breathing is
difficult. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: If swallowed, call a physician immediately. DO NOT induce vomiting,
unless directed to do so by a physician. Give person plenty of water to drink. If possible,
do not leave person unattended. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated By Exposure: None known
Section V: Fire and Explosion Data
Flash Point: > 200 degrees F. Non-combustible
3
Flammable Limits: Not determined
Extinguishing Media: If this product is involved in a fire, use an extinguishing media
that is appropriate for combustibles in the area such as water spray, dry chemical, alcohol
foam, or carbon dioxide. Keep containers cool with water spray to prevent container
rupturing due to steam pressure and to prevent thermal decomposition.
Fire and Explosion Hazards: During a fire, the product may decompose and can emit
carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.
Fire-Fighting Equipment: Exposed firefighters should wear NIOSH/MSHA approved
self-contained breathing apparatuses under positive pressure and chemical-resistant
protective equipment. Refer to section 8 for further information.
Section VI: Accidental Release Measures
SMALL SPILL: Cleanup personnel should wear appropriate equipment (See
Section 8). Floor may be slippery, use care to avoid falling. Stop and control leak. Small
spills can be diluted with plenty of water and mopped up or absorbed with an inert
absorbent material. Mop spill area several times with water. Dispose of waste properly
(See Section 13).
LARGE SPILL: Untrained persons and those not wearing proper protective
equipment should be excluded from the spill area until cleanup is complete. Trained
cleanup personnel should wear chemical splash goggles and a face shield, rubber boots,
rubber gloves, and impervious clothing. Respiratory protection could be required for
controlling large spills in confined or poorly ventilated areas. Stop and control leak and
keep material out of sewers and watercourses by diking or impounding with sand or
absorbent materials. Flush spill area with plenty of water. All cleanup residues should
be collected in a non-metallic labeled container for disposal (See Section 13).
Contact CHEMTREC (800-424-9300) for technical advice and assistance relating to
chemical emergencies involving this product.
Section VII: Handling and Storage
Handling: Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Avoid breathing mist or vapor.
Use with adequate ventilation. Do not taste or swallow. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse. Do not mix with any other
chemical or cleaning agent.
Storage: Keep containers in well ventilated area and closed when not in use. Keep away
from heat and flame. Keep product in original container. For institutional use only.
Keep this and all chemicals out of reach of children. Do not store above 100 degrees F or
in direct sunlight.

Section VIII: Exposure Control/Personal Protection
Respiratory Protection: Not normally required in well-ventilated area. Use NIOSH
approved air-purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge if there is a reasonable
possibility for harmful exposure to vapors or mists. Protection by air purifying
respirators is limited. Use NIOSH approved self-contained apparatus made for
emergencies or entry into unknown concentrations or immediately dangerous to life or
health conditions. All personal respiratory protection equipment should be used in
accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134.
Ventilation: None generally required in open wash bays where air circulation is adequate
to maintain exposures below exposure limits.
Protective Gloves: Use chemical-resistant rubber, plastic, or neoprene gloves to prevent
skin contact and for spill clean up.
Eye Protection: Avoid eye contact. Chemical splash goggles are recommended
whenever eye contact may occur. Provide an ANSI-approved eye wash station in the
work area.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Use chemical-resistant apron or other
impervious clothing, and rubber boots if necessary, to avoid contaminating regular
clothing and shoes and to prevent skin contact.

Section XI: Toxicological Information
Significant ingredients used in this product have the following toxicological data:
ANIMAL DATA: Sodium Tripolyphosphate
Contact: Mild irritant to unwashed eyes; non-irritant to washed eyes
(Rabbits). Non irritating to intact skin.
Ingestion: Oral-Rat LD50: 6,500 mg/kg Oral-Mouse LD50: 3,210 mg/kg
HUMAN DATA: Sodium Tripolyphosphate
Contact: Skin irritation by continuous contact has been reported during
manufacturing when protective measures for contact or personal
hygiene procedures are not followed. Human industrial experience
has shown no significant skin irritation when exposures were
properly controlled.
Ingestion: Ingestion of large doses of sodium tripolyphosphate causes
catharsis. Sodium meta- and pyrophosphates can cause
hemorrhages from the intestine if taken internally in large doses.
Section XII: Ecological Information
Ecotoxicological information: Not available for product. Sodium tripolyphosphate
is not highly toxic to aquatic organisms (see data below). Product may be dangerous if it
enters water intakes. Keep product out of water intakes and storm sewer systems.
Sodium Tripolyphosphate Aquatic Toxicity
96 Hour LC50 > 100 mg/L, non-toxic (Rainbow Trout, Inland Silversides, and
Mysid Shrimp)
48 Hour EC50 > 100 mg/L, non-toxic (Daphnia Magna)
Chemical Fate Information: Not available for product. Sodium tripolyphosphate
in contact with the soil, sub-surface or surface waters may cause the phosphates to be
taken up by plants as essential nutrients and may cause eutrophication and algae blooms
6
in surface waters. Product contains less than 0.3% by weight phosphorous and complies
with Section 143-214.4 of the North Carolina Water and Air Resources Act. Product
could slightly raise the pH of surface water, depending on size of spill. Once the product
is diluted with plenty of water or neutralized, its impact should be slight.
Section XIII: Disposal Consideration
Waste Disposal: Unused product is not expected to be a hazardous waste under RCRA.
Used material may be subject to regulation depending on the contaminates added during
use. Any disposal must be in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations. Do not
discharge product to storm sewers or waterways. Dilute (used) detergent solutions may
typically be discharged to local wastewater treatment facilities. As with any wastewater,
consultation with local treatment plant staff is recommended before disposal.
Concentrated product should be recovered for reuse.
