BENZENE PHOSPHORUS DICHLORIDE

A colorless, fuming liquid. Density 1.32 g / cm3. Flash point 102°C. Corrosive to metals and tissue.

• Water-Reactive
• Air-Reactive

Fumes in air. Reacts with water, including moisture in air or soil, to liberate heat and hydrochloric acid [Merck, 11th ed. 1989].

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic fumes include oxides of phosphorus and hydrogen chloride.

Behavior in Fire: Containers may rupture. Hot liquid is spontaneously flammable because of presence of dissolved phosphorus. (USCG, 1999)

Inhalation causes irritation of nose and throat; pulmonary edema may develop following severe exposures. Contact with skin or eyes causes severe burns. Ingestion causes severe burns of mouth and stomach. (USCG, 1999)

BENZENE PHOSPHORUS DICHLORIDE is incompatible with water, with bases (including amines), with strong oxidizing agents, and with alcohols. May react vigorously or explosively if mixed with diisopropyl ether or other ethers in the presence of trace amounts of metal salts [J. Haz. Mat., 1981, 4, 291].

Excerpt from 137 [Substances - Water-Reactive - Corrosive]:

IMMEDIATE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE: Isolate spill or leak area in all directions for at least 50 meters (150 feet) for liquids and at least 25 meters (75 feet) for solids.

SPILL: Increase the immediate precautionary measure distance, in the downwind direction, as necessary.

FIRE: If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. (ERG, 2020)

Excerpt from 137 [Substances - Water-Reactive - Corrosive]:

When material is not involved in fire, do not use water on material itself.

SMALL FIRE: Dry chemical or CO2. If it can be done safely, move undamaged containers away from the area around the fire.

LARGE FIRE: Flood fire area with large quantities of water, while knocking down vapors with water fog. If insufficient water supply, responders should withdraw.

FIRE INVOLVING TANKS OR CAR/TRAILER LOADS: Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Do not get water inside containers. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. (ERG, 2020)

Excerpt from 137 [Substances - Water-Reactive - Corrosive]:

Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Use water spray to reduce vapors; do not put water directly on leak, spill area or inside container. Keep combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.) away from spilled material.

SMALL SPILL: Cover with DRY earth, DRY sand or other non-combustible material followed with plastic sheet to minimize spreading or contact with rain. Use clean, non-sparking tools to collect material and place it into loosely covered plastic containers for later disposal. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. (ERG, 2020)

Self-contained breathing apparatus; acid-type canister mask; goggles and face shield; rubber gloves; protective clothing. (USCG, 1999)

No information available.

Get medical attention following all exposures to this compound.

INHALATION: remove to fresh air; if breathing has stopped, start mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

EYES: flush with water for at least 15 min.; do not use oils or ointments.

SKIN: flush with water; wash with soap and water.

INGESTION: give large amounts of milk or water; do NOT induce vomiting; if vomiting does occur, give milk or beaten eggs at one-hour intervals. (USCG, 1999)
