Polyphosphoric Acids, Sodium Salts 68915-31-1 90 - 100% Yes
Inhalation: May cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may
include coughing and shortness of breath.
Ingestion: Phosphates are slowly and incompletely absorbed when ingested,
and seldom result in systemic effects. Such effects, however, have occurred.
Symptoms may include vomiting, lethargy, diarrhea, blood chemistry effects,
heart disturbances and central nervous system effects. The toxicity of
phosphates is because of their ability to sequester calcium. Systemic acidosis
may result as this material is believed to hydrolyze into phosphoric acid when
ingested.
Skin Contact: May cause irritation with redness and pain.
Eye Contact: May cause irritation, redness and pain.
Chronic Exposure: May sequester calcium and cause calcium phosphate
deposits in the kidneys. Chronic ingestion or inhalation may induce systemic
phosphorous poisoning. Liver damage, kidney damage, jaw/tooth abnormalities,
blood disorders and cardiovascular effects can result.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: Persons with pre-existing skin
disorders or eye problems, jaw/tooth abnormalities, or impaired liver, kidney or
respiratory function may be more susceptible to the effects of the substance.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Get medical
attention for any breathing difficulty.
Ingestion: Give large amounts of water to drink. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention if irritation
develops.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes, lifting upper and lower eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention if
irritation persists.
Fire: Not considered to be a fire hazard.
Explosion: Not considered to be an explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use any means suitable for extinguishing
surrounding fire.
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective
clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full
facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8.
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Isolate from incompatible substances. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
Airborne Exposure Limits: None established.
Ventilation System: In general, dilution ventilation is a satisfactory
health hazard control for this substance. However, if conditions of use create
discomfort to the worker, a local exhaust system should be considered.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): For conditions of use where
exposure to dust or mist is apparent and engineering controls are not feasible,
a particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn. If oil
particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present, use a
NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels
are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator.
WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient
atmospheres.
Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain
and quick-drench facilities in work area.
