First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Move exposed individual to fresh air. Loosen clothing as necessary and position individual in a comfortable position.
Symptoms: Shortness of breath.
Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse or discard. Rinse skin with for 30 minutes with deluge of water or under a shower. Wash affected area with soap and water. Wipe off contact areas with a dry cloth if possible, before flushing with water.
Symptoms: Irritation. May cause severe burns and ulcerations.
Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 30 minutes. Remove contact lens(es) if able to do so during rinsing. Protect unexposed eye.
Symptoms: May cause severe burn and irreversible eye injury.
Rinse mouth thoroughly. Do not induce vomiting. Have exposed individual drink sips of water.
Symptoms: Nausea, Headache. May cause gastrointestinal tract burns, corrosion and permanent tissue damage of the digestive tract and esophagus.
Immediate Medical Attention
Seek medical attention immediately.
Medical Treatment
If seeking medical attention, provide SDS document to physician.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
If in laboratory setting, follow laboratory fire suppression procedures. Use appropriate fire suppression agents for adjacent combustible materials or sources of ignition
Hydrogen gas is released in contact with most metals. Combustion products may include carbon oxides or other toxic vapors. Combustion products may include phosphine, oxides of phosphorus, and hydrogen gas.
Move product containers away from fire or keep cool with water spray as a protective measure, where feasible.
Firefighter Protection
Wear protective equipment. Use respiratory protective device against the effects of fumes/dust/aerosol/vapor. Use NIOSH-approved respiratory protection/breathing apparatus.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Stop the spill, if possible. Contain spilled material by diking or using inert absorbent. Transfer to a disposal or recovery container.
Prevent from reaching drains, sewer or waterway. Collect contaminated soil for characterization per Section 13
Absorb spillage to prevent material damage due to corrosiveness to metal. If in a laboratory setting, follow Chemical Hygiene Plan procedures. Place into properly labeled containers for recovery or disposal. Collect liquids using inert absorbent material.
Materials: inert absorbent material

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Wash hands after handling. Do not mix with bases. Use in a chemical fume hood. Follow good hygiene procedures when handling chemical materials. Do not eat, drink, smoke, or use personal products when handling chemical substances. If in a laboratory setting, follow Chemical Hygiene Plan. Use only in well ventilated areas. Prevent contact with eyes, skin, and clothing
Store away from oxidizing agents. Store in cool, dry conditions in well sealed containers. Keep container tightly sealed. Do not store under direct sun light. Do not pile up the containers. Do not store at temperatures close to freezing point. Avoid storage near extreme heat, ignition sources or open flame. Store away from foodstuffs.
Wash hands after handling. Follow good hygiene procedures when handling chemical materials. Do not eat, drink, smoke, or use personal products when handling chemical substances. If in a laboratory setting, follow Chemical Hygiene Plan.
Avoid storage near extreme heat, ignition sources or open flame.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available in the immediate vicinity of use/handling. Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapor or dusts (total/respirable) below the applicable workplace exposure limits (Occupational Exposure Limits-OELs) indicated above.
The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation being used/handled. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation.
Safety glasses with side shields or goggles.
Use suitable respiratory protective device when high concentrations are present. Use suitable respiratory protective device when aerosol or mist is formed. For spills, respiratory protection may be advisable.
