Safety & Health

Safety Information
  • When processing is carried out, particularly at elevated temperatures, it should be borne in mind that small amounts of phosphine may be formed especially in the presence of water. As phosphine is a toxic gas, an effective extraction facility must be provided.
  • Red Phosphorus HB 801 (TP) containers must be closed tightly whenever any of the content is removed. All handling operations must be carried out with due care, using only tools made from soft material (plastic, wood, etc.). Do not cut the metal bag closure or the bag itself. If fire breaks out, the most suitable extinguishing agents are water spray, foam, wet sand and fire blankets. Fire extinguishers that operate under gas pressure are not suitable because they tend to whip up the red phosphorus powder and thus cause the fire to spread. Areas where fires involving red phosphorus powder have been extinguished should be doused several times with 2% potassium permanganate or with 10% soda or copper sulphate solution to render harmless the toxic and spontaneously flammable yellow phosphorus formed during the fire. Any mechanical movement of Red Phosphorus HB 801 (TP) as well as all operations in which Red Phosphorus HB 801 (TP) is exposed to intense heat, pressure etc. should be carried out in an inert gas atmosphere (nitrogen or argon).
