Composition / Information on Ingredients

Chemical Name: Copper Pyrophosphate
Percent Composition: 98–100%
Other Ingredients: Trace impurities below reporting limits
Hazardous Components: Copper (II) ions present as part of the compound; pyrophosphate ions present
Impurities: May include minimal phosphate and copper oxides from manufacturing

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move to fresh air, support breathing as needed, seek medical attention if symptoms develop
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, rinse skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, consult physician if irritation persists
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses, seek medical attention if discomfort continues
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink water, do not induce vomiting, seek medical advice without delay
Self-Protection: Use gloves, respirators, and goggles for direct aid when risk of exposure is likely

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam
Specific Hazards: May produce toxic copper and phosphorus oxides when heated
Protective Equipment: Wear full protective clothing, use self-contained breathing apparatus
Fire Fighting Instructions: Approach from upwind, prevent spillage from entering waterways, cool containers with water fog
Hazardous Combustion Products: Phosphorus oxides, copper oxides, irritating fumes

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Wear proper protective equipment including respirators for dust control
Environmental Precautions: Prevent contamination of waterways, soil, and drains
Methods for Containment: Prevent dust formation, collect with shovel or vacuum device, avoid generating airborne particles
Cleanup Procedures: Place recovered material in secure containers for disposal; ventilate area thoroughly; wash spill site after material pickup
Notification: Report significant spills to environmental authorities as required by regulations

Handling and Storage

Safe Handling: Keep container tightly closed; handle in a well-ventilated area; use personal protective equipment; avoid creating or inhaling dust
Storage Requirements: Store in a cool, dry location away from incompatible substances such as acids or oxidizing agents
Storage Conditions: Store in corrosion-resistant containers; avoid exposure to moisture; keep away from food and drink
Packaging: Ensure proper labelling on containers; store below 25°C
Incompatibilities: Strong acids, oxidizers, ammonia compounds

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: ACGIH TLV (Copper, metal dust and mist) 1 mg/m3 (TWA); OSHA PEL 1 mg/m3 (TWA)
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation to minimize airborne levels
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety goggles for eyes, chemical-resistant gloves, lab coat, respiratory protection where ventilation insufficient
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before eating or drinking, remove contaminated clothing, shower after handling
Environmental Controls: Comply with emissions and effluent standards under local and national laws
