Fire Fighting Measures Flash Point: 440 Deg. F ( 226 C ) Method: Setaflash Closed Cup LEL % : Not Determined Autoignition: Not determined UEL % : Not Determined FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated during combustion or decomposition. Smoke, soot and toxic and irritating fumes are emitted. Decomposes to Phosphorus oxides and Phosphine gas. EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Small Fires: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, halon, water spray or foam. Large Fires: Use water spray, fog or regular foam. Move containers from fire area if you can without risk. Dike fire control water for later disposal. Do not scatter the material and do not use straight streams. Wear full protective clothing and NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full-face respirator. 6. Accidental Release Measures Evacuation: Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and protected personnel from entering. Corrosive to the eye and skin. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including respiratory protection. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Containment: Safely stop discharge. Contain material, as necessary, with a dike or barrier. Stop material from contaminating soil, or from entering sewers or bodies of water Collection/Disposal: Stop discharge, if safe to do so. Use proper protective equipment. Use non-sparking tolls and/or explosion proof equipment. Cover spills with absorbent clay or sawdust and place in closed, chemical waste containers. Dispose of according to applicable local, state and federal regulations. Reporting: Spills of this material in excess of a component's Reportable Quantity must be reported to the National Response Center, 1-800-424-8802, and to the appropriate state and local emergency response organizations. 7. Handling and Storage Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, ignition sources and direct sunlight. Keep containers tightly closed. Deepwater Chemicals, Inc.

ACGIH- TLV ACGIH- STEL OSHA- PEL OSHA- STEL Ethyltriphenylphosphonium Not Established Iodide (4736-60-1) Engineering Controls/Ventilation: Local exhaust ventilation is recommended when vapors, mists, and dusts can be released in excess of established airborne exposure limits. Eye/Face Protection: Wear chemical splash goggles and a full-face shield. An eye wash facility should be readily available. Skin Protection: Wear rubber boots and apron, protective clothing and impervious gloves. An emergency shower should be readily available. Respiratory Protection: Avoid breathing vapor and mists. Wear NIOSH/MSHA-approved equipment. Determine the appropriate type by consulting the respirator manufacturer. High airborne concentrations may necessitate the use of self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or a supplied air respirator. 9.
