(540) 234-9281 or 1-800-330-2525 <br />Date of Revision: May 2011 <br />SECTION II - HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS INFORMATION <br />Identity: <br />Waste, spent Degesch aluminum phosphide products consist mainly of aluminum hydroxide and inert <br />ingredients in the formulation of the product. The aluminum hydroxide is generated via the following reaction: <br />A1P + 3H20 —> AI(011)3 + PH, <br />Al(01-1)3 CAS No. 21645-51-2 <br />AIP CAS No. 20859-73-8 <br />PH, CAS No. 7803-51-2 <br />1"he spent material will also contain from about 2 to 3 percent unreacted aluminum phosphide. However, this <br />small amount of active ingredient is stabilized in the crystalline lattice of the waste. As a result, the waste has <br />very low oral and dermal toxicity, is not a significant fire hazard and is not a RCRA hazardous waste. Spent <br />and partially spent dust are rather dense and ordinarily do not represent an inhalation hazard. Proper protective <br />equipment should be worn under conditions where significant risks of inhalation are present. <br />Unreacted or incompletely exposed aluminum phosphide fumigants are highly toxic and are hazardous wastes <br />which will trigger the RCRA laboratory test characteristics of reactivity and ignitability. Since Degesch phos- <br />phine fumigants are not manufactured with ingredients listed under the RCRA toxicity characteristic, they will <br />not trigger the toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP). <br />060/800'd 088ZI 19 Z0 900Z/W o/ <br />
