Section IV 鈥? Fire and Explosion Hazard Data
Flash Point (Method Used): Not applicable Flammable Limits: LEL (Lower Explosive Limit) - N/A
UEL (Upper Explosive Limit) - N/A
Extinguishing Media: Suitable extinguishing agents. CO2, extinguishing powder, or water spray.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Fight larger fires with water or alcohol resistant foam. Firefighters should wear
protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus. As with most organic solids, fire is possible at elevated
temperatures or by contact with an ignition source.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: During heating or in case of fire, poisonous gases are produced. This material,
like most materials in powder form, is capable of creating a dust explosion.
Section V 鈥? Reactivity Data
Unstable Conditions to Avoid: Sensitive to light and moisture. Hygroscopic.
Stability:
Stable X
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): Reacts with acids, alkalis, oxidizing agents, Lithium, Fluorine, and Bromine
trifluoride.
Hazardous Decomposition or Byproducts: When heated to above 801掳C it emits toxic fumes of chloride and sodium
oxide. Carbon dioxide and Carbon monoxide may form when heated to decomposition. Sodium Carbonate reacts violently
with acids to form carbon dioxide.
May Occur Conditions to Avoid: Heat, flame, ignition source, dusting, and incompatible
Hazardous
materials.
Polymerization:
Will Not Occur X

Section VI 鈥? Health Hazard Data
Inhalation? Yes Skin? Yes Ingestion? Yes
Route(s) of Entry:
Irritant. Irritating to eyes, respiratory system, and skin. May be irritating to mucous membranes
Health Hazards:
and upper respiratory tract.
(Acute and Chronic)
Carcinogenicity: NTP? No IARC Monographs? No OSHA Regulated? No
(National Toxicology Program) (International Agency for Research in Cancer)
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Irritating effect to eye. Phosphates are slowly and incompletely absorbed when
ingested. Symptoms may include vomiting, diarrhea, blood chemistry effects, cardiac effects and central nervous system.
Sodium Phosphate is a corrosive material and can cause burns.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: The toxicity of phosphates is their ability to sequester
calcium. Chronic exposure of Sodium Phosphate may sequester calcium and cause calcium phosphate deposits in the
kidneys. Persons with impaired kidney function may be more susceptible to the effects of the substance. Prolonged or
repeated skin exposure may cause sensitization.
Ingestion: If swallowed, seek medical attention. Do not induce vomiting.
Emergency /
First Aid
Inhalation: Supply fresh air or oxygen. Seek medical attention.
Procedures:
Eye Contact: Rinse opened eye for at least 15 minutes under running water. Seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wash with plenty of soap and water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.
Section VII 鈥? Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
Accidental Release Measures: Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate spill area. Wear suitable protective clothing.
Wipe up with damp sponge or mop. Avoid inhalation, contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Remove contaminated
clothing.
Waste Disposal Method: Dispose in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local environmental regulations.
Handling and Storing: Keep container tightly closed. Protect from moisture and physical damage. Store away from
oxidizing agents. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues.
Other Precautions: Prevent formation of dust. Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and
clothing. Ensure good ventilation / exhaustion at the workplace.
Section VIII 鈥? Control Measures
Respiratory Protection (Specify Type): None required where adequate ventilation conditions exist. If airborne
concentration is high, use an appropriate respirator or dust mask.
Local Exhaust: 50 鈥? 100 CFM Special: N/A
Ventilation:
Mechanical (General): N/A Other: N/A
Protective Gloves: Proper disposable gloves Eye Protection: Chemical resistant safety goggles
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Uniform, lab coat, or disposable lab wear.
Work / Hygienic Practices: Follow the usual precautionary measures for handling chemicals / powder. Keep away from
food and beverages. Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and
clothing.
