Material Safety Data Sheet J. R. Simplot Company a'• • + M&C Group Trade Name: Drip Grade Phosphoric Acid M12008 Registration No: None Section 1 Chemical Product and Company Information Manufacturer or Formulator: J.R.Simplot Company Product Name: Drip Grade Phosphoric Acid P.O.Box 912 Common Name: Phosphoric Acid 00-55-00 Pocatello,ID 83204 Chemical Type: Phosphoric Acid Emergency Phone-Chemtrec: 1-800-424-9300 Section 2 Composition/information on Ingredients Chemical Name and Synonyms C.A.S.No. Chemical Formula VYT% TLV PEL Hazardous Phosphoric Acid AS 7664-38-2 H3PO4 75-80 1 mg/M3 1 mg/m3 3 mg/M'STEL Non-Hazardous None listed 20-25 Section 3 Hazards Identification Ingestion: Ingestion may result in irritation and burning of mucous membranes and/or gastrointestinal tract. Inhalation: Inhalation of acid mist may produce mild to severe irritation of respiratory tract. Follow proper unloading procedures on this sheet under section 7 to eliminate possible exposure. Eye Contact: Will produce severe irritation. Prolonged contact may result in bum to eye causing permanent damage. Skin Absorption: May produce mild to severe irritations. Prolonged contact may result in chemical bums. Skin Contact: May produce mild to severe irritations. Prolonged contact may result in chemical burns. Effects of Overdose: Severe conjunctivitis which may result in permanent damage. Can result in nausea and vomiting with severe abdominal pain. Prolonged contact with acid mist can result in severe respiratory irritation. Section 4 1 First Aid Measures Ingestion: Dilute with 2-3 glasses of milk or water. Do not induce vomiting. Consult a physician immediately. Inhalation: Remove person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, perform artificial respiration if properly trained. Seek medical attention immediately. Eyes: Promptly flush eyes with clean,cool water for at least 15 minutes. Contact a physician immediately. Skin: Promptly remove contaminated clothing and rinse area with clear water for 15 minutes. 11 Section 5 1 Fire Fighting Measures Extinguishing Media: Non-flammable. Use media suitable to extinguish source of fire. Special Fire Fighting Procedures: When phosphoric acid mists from hot fires may be encountered, self-contained breathing apparatus(SCBA) should be worn. Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Not listed 11 Section 6 1 Accidental Release Measures Environmental Precautions: Low toxicity to aquatic life. Do not contaminate any watercourse or other body of water by direct application,disposal,or cleaning of equipment. Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled: Dike around spill for containment and recover for re-processing. Small spills can be safely neutralized with limestone or soda ash. Caustic soda should be avoided because of excessive reactivity. Section 7 1 Handling and Storage Precautions to be taken in handling and storing: Allays wear proper protective equipment. Avoid storage and/or transfer in tanks, lines and other equipment constructed or materials not specifically designed and approved for phosphoric acid service. Avoid freezing weather below 1°F. Have adequate first aid water available. Section 8 Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Ventilation Protection: General area ventilation. Respiratory Protection: Approved respirators suitable for protection against acid mists and vapors. Not required for normal work procedures, but if misting occurs and always during unloading, use a high efficiency particulate respirator or self-contained breathing apparatus, with a full face shield when exposed above the TLV. Check with respirator manufacturer to determine the appropriate type of equipment for a given application. Protective Clothing: Rubber clothing,chemical gloves,footwear and chemical hat or hood suitable for protection against acids. Eye Protection: Tight sealing splash proof goggles. Other: Eyewash and safety shower in work areas.
