Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Rinse mouth. Do not give anything to eat or drink. Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. If vomiting occurs, keep head low so that stomach content doesn't get into the lungs. Corrosive effects. Burning pain and severe corrosive skin damage. Causes serious eye damage. Symptoms may include stinging, tearing, redness, swelling, and blurred vision. Permanent eye damage including blindness could result. Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. Chemical burns: Flush with water immediately. While flushing, remove clothes which do not adhere to affected area. Call an ambulance. Continue flushing during transport to hospital. Keep victim under observation. Symptoms may be delayed. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. Carbon dioxide, dry chemicals, foam. Water. Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire. Oxides of phosphorus evolved in fire. Wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained positive pressure or pressure demand breathing apparatus, protective clothing and face mask. Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials. Prevent spillage and fire-fighting water from entering in public sewers or the immediate environment.

3 6. Accidental release measures Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up Wear protective clothing, gloves and safety goggles. Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Do not breathe mist or vapor. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS. Please refer also to section no. 8 'Exposure controls' for further information. Absorb onto inert material and dispose of according to Hazardous Waste Regulations. Remove small spills with plenty of water. Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible. Cover with plastic sheet to prevent spreading. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place into containers. Following product recovery, flush area with water. Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination. Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS. Environmental precautions 7. Handling and storage Precautions for safe handling Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Prevent from entering sewers or the immediate environment. Accidental release of large quantities into the aquatic environment may harm aquatic organisms. Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety procedures. Wash thoroughly immediately after use. Do not breathe mist or vapor. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Avoid prolonged exposure. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Use care in handling/storage. Store in dry, cool, well ventilated area. Store containers closed when not in use. Store locked up. Store in original tightly closed container. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS). Store in accordance with local/regional/national/international regulation. 8. Exposure controls/personal protection Occupational exposure limits US. OSHA Table Z-1 Limits for Air Contaminants (29 CFR ) Components Type Phosphoric Acid (CAS PEL ) US. ACGIH Threshold Limit Values Components Phosphoric Acid (CAS ) Type STEL TWA US. NIOSH: Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards Components Type Phosphoric Acid (CAS STEL ) TWA Biological limit values Appropriate engineering controls No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s). Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment Splash proof chemical goggles. Eye/face protection Value 1 mg/m3 Value 3 mg/m3 1 mg/m3 Value 3 mg/m3 1 mg/m3 Adequate ventilation to maintain air contaminants below exposure limits. Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Eye wash facilities and emergency shower must be available when handling this product. Page: 3 / 9

4 Skin protection Hand protection Other Respiratory protection Thermal hazards General hygiene considerations Neoprene gloves (Protection against unintentional short-term contact) Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Suitable gloves can be recommended by the glove supplier. Protective clothing. Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. In case of insufficient ventilation, use a breathing mask with filter type: P2 In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary. Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking.
