SECTION 3. EMERGENCY/HAZARDS OVERVIEW
Pale, blue liquid with no odor. Corrosive to eyes and skin. If ingested, do not induce
vomiting. Decomposition above 200掳C will liberate toxic phosphine fumes. Contact with
strong alkalis will result in violent reactions evolving steam. D.O.T. Corrosive liquid.
HEALTH: 2 REACTIVITY: 1 FLAMMABILITY: 0 ENVIRONMENT: 1
(0=Insignificant 1=Slight 2=Moderate 3=High 4=Extreme)
SECTION 4. FIRST AID
Eyes: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention immediately.
Skin: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention immediately.
Ingestion: Drink 2 glasses of water or milk to dilute. Do not induce vomiting. Get medical
attention.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. If breathing becomes difficult, call a physician.

SECTION 5. FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Flash Point: >200掳F.
Test Method: TCC
LEL Flammable Limits: Not pertinent.
UEL Flammable Limits: Not pertinent.
Autoignition Temperature: Not pertinent.
Flammability Classification: Noncombustible.
Known Hazardous Products of Combustion: Not known.
Properties that Initiate/Contribute to Intensity of Fire: Not known.
Potential For Dust Explosion: None.
Reactions that Release Flammable Gases or Vapors: Not known.

reactions evolving steam. Contact with
metal salts of sulfides and sulfites may
release toxic fumes.
Extinguishing Media: Does not burn.
Special Firefighting Procedures: Wear positive pressure, self-contained
breathing apparatus and complete
personal protective equipment. Cool
storage drums and exposed structures
with water spray. Avoid smoke
inhalation. Contain any liquid runoff.
SECTION 6. SPILLS AND LEAKS
Containment: Prevent product spillage from entering drinking water supplies or
streams.
Clean Up: Absorb onto absorbent material and package for disposal at an
appropriate waste disposal facility.
Evacuation: Not necessary.
SECTION 7. STORAGE AND HANDLING
Storage: Store in plastic or stainless steel container in a cool, well-
ventilated, dry place at temperatures above 40oF. Do not store
near food or feeds. Do not stack pallets more than two (2) high.
Transfer Equipment: Transfer product using chemical-resistant plastic or stainless steel
tanks, pumps, valves, etc.
Work/Hygienic Practices: Harmful if swallowed. Causes eye and skin irritation. In case of
contact, immediately flush eyes or skin with plenty of water and
contact a physician.
