adverse health effects are expected to develop if only small amounts (less than a mouthful) are
swallowed. Swallowing large quantities may cause gastrointestinal tract irritation, nausea,
vomiting, and diarrhea.
Refer to Section 11 for toxicological information.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
IF IN EYES OR ON SKIN, immediate first aid is not likely to be required. However, this material
can be removed with water. Wash heavily contaminated clothing before reuse.
IF INHALED, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Remove material from eyes, skin and clothing.
IF SWALLOWED, immediate first aid is not likely to be required. A physician or Poison Control
Center can be contacted for advice. Wash heavily contaminated clothing before reuse.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT: Not combustible
HAZARDOUS PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION: Not applicable
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Not applicable
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: None known
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
In case of spill, sweep, scoop or vacuum and remove and place in containers. If possible,
complete cleanup on a dry basis. After all practical dry cleanup has been done, flush residual
spill area with water.
Refer to Section 13 for disposal information and Sections 14 and 15 for reportable quantity
information.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING
Avoid breathing dust.
Keep container closed.
Use with adequate ventilation.
Empty container retains product residue. Observe all labeled safeguards until container is
cleaned, reconditioned, or destroyed. The reuse of this material鈥檚 container for non-industrial
purposes is prohibited and any reuse must be in consideration of the data provided in this MSDS.
STORAGE: Product is stable under normal conditions of storage and handling.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE PROTECTION: This product does not cause significant eye irritation or eye toxicity requiring
special protection. Use good industrial practice to avoid eye contact.

Reference No.: AST10084 November 1, 2005
SKIN PROTECTION: Although this product does not present a significant skin concern, minimize
skin contamination by following good industrial practice. Wearing protective gloves is
recommended. Wash hands and contaminated skin thoroughly after handling.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Avoid breathing dust. Use NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory
protection equipment when airborne exposure is excessive. Consult the respirator manufacturer
to determine appropriate type equipment for a given application. Observe respirator use
limitations specified by NIOSH/MSHA or the manufacturer. Respiratory protection programs
must comply with 29 C.F.R. 1910.134.
VENTILATION: Provide natural or mechanical ventilation to control exposure levels below
airborne exposure limits (see below). The use of local mechanical exhaust ventilation is
preferred at sources of air contamination such as open process equipment.
AIRBORNE EXPOSURE LIMITS:
OSHA and ACGIH have not established specific exposure limits for this material. However,
OSHA and ACGIH have established limits for particulates not otherwise classified (PNOC) which
are the least stringent exposure limits applicable to dusts.
OSHA PEL ACGIH TLV
15 mg/m3 (total dust) 8-hr TWA 10 mg/m3 (inhalable) 8-hr TWA
5 mg/m3 (respirable) 8-hr TWA 3 mg/m3 (respirable) 8-hr TWA
Tetrasodium pyrophosphate has the following airborne exposure guidelines:
OSHA PEL ACGIH TLV
Not established 5 mg/m3 8-hr TWA
Components referred to herein may be regulated by specific Canadian provincial legislation.
Please refer to exposure limits legislated for the province in which the substance will be used.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ICL Performance Products LP has not conducted toxicity studies with this material and no data
was found in a reasonably extensive search of the literature. However, data on major
components are given below:

Reference No.: AST10084 November 1, 2005
Sodium Tripolyphosphate
Single exposure (acute) animal studies indicate that this material is practically nontoxic orally (rat)
and after skin application. It is slightly irritating to rabbit eyes and nonirritating to rabbit skin.
Rats fed sodium tripolyphosphate in their diet for two years exhibited decreased growth,
increased kidney/body weight ratios, and kidney changes.
No birth defects were noted in rabbits given sodium tripolyphosphate orally during pregnancy.
No effects were seen on the ability of male and female rats to reproduce when fed sodium
tripolyphosphate for 3 successive generations. Sodium tripolyphosphate has generally produced
no genetic changes in a variety of standard tests using animals and animal or bacterial cells.
Genetic changes were reported in a standard test using yeast cells.
COMPONENTS
The following component has been identified as a hazardous chemical under the criteria of the
OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200).
Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate
Single exposure (acute) studies indicate that this material is slightly toxic orally (rat) and
practically nontoxic after skin application (rabbit). It is slightly irritating to rabbit eyes and
nonirritating to rabbit skin. Rats fed tetrasodium pyrophosphate in their diet for four months
showed a reduced weight gain, urinary changes, increased organ-to-body weight ratios, and
slight kidney damage.
No birth defects were reports in rabbits, hamsters, mice or rats given this material orally during
pregnancy. tetrasodium pyrophosphate produced no genetic changes in standard tests using
bacterial and yeast cells.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
The following data have been classified using the criteria adopted by the European Economic
Community (EEC) for aquatic organism toxicity. A legend summarizing the classification scheme
appears below.
Sodium Tripolyphosphate
96-hr LC50 Bluegill sunfish: 10,000 mg/l, Practically Nontoxic
96-hr LC50 Rainbow trout: 5,600 mg/l, Practically Nontoxic
Legend for Aquatic Organism Toxicity (Journal of the European Communities, Annex VII A,
Section 5.2.1)
Values Classifications
LC50 or EC50 < or = 1.0 mg/L Very Toxic
LC50 or EC50 > 1.0 mg/L and < or = 10 mg/L Toxic
LC50 or EC50 > 10 mg/L and < or = 100 mg/L Harmful
LC50 or EC50 > 100 mg/L Practically Nontoxic
ICL Performance Products LP has not conducted biodegradation studies with this material, since
when dissolved/hydrolyzed in water it yields completely mineralized materials.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
This material when discarded is not a hazardous waste as that term is defined by the Resource,
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), 40 CFR 261. Dry material may be landfilled or recycled
in accordance with local, state and federal regulations. Consult your attorney or appropriate
