Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for at least 10 minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Seek medical advice if discomfort persists.
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. Seek medical attention for irritation or allergic symptoms.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Rinse nose and throat with water if discomfort occurs. Seek medical advice if symptoms continue.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Give water to drink. If feeling unwell, get medical aid.
Acute Symptoms: Minor irritation expected only at unusually high exposures or through allergic response
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, water spray
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Strong water jets—may spread burning material
Specific Hazards from Fire: Burning may produce oxides of carbon and phosphorus compounds
Protective Equipment: Firefighters require full protective gear, including self-contained breathing apparatus
Special Precautions: Prevent contaminated firefighting water from entering drains or watercourses
Personal Precautions: Provide adequate ventilation; wear protective equipment to avoid eye contact and skin exposure. For powders, use a dust mask or respirator.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from entering watercourses or sewers in bulk.
Cleanup Methods: Absorb liquid spills with sand, earth or inert material and collect in suitable containers. Sweep up powder carefully to avoid dust generation. Clean surface thoroughly with water and detergent.
Special Instructions: Wash heavily exposed skin and clean contaminated clothing before reuse
Safe Handling: Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid formation of dust. Wear gloves and safety glasses in processing areas.
Storage: Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry location away from light, heat, and incompatible materials (oxidizers).
Conditions to Avoid: Elevated temperatures, damp or humid environments, exposure to strong oxidizing agents
Packaging Materials: Use food or pharmaceutical grade containers to avoid contamination
Workplace Exposure Limits: No established OSHA or ACGIH exposure limits for lecithin or pure phosphatidyl choline
Engineering Controls: General ventilation sufficient; for powder or dust handling, use local exhaust
Respiratory Protection: Dust mask or respirator for processes generating airborne powders
