PHYSICAL HAZARDS
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Explosives | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | There are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties present in the molecules. |
| 2 | Flammable gases （including chemically unstable gases） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 3 | Aerosols | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Not aerosol products. |
| 4 | Oxidizing gases | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 5 | Gases under pressure | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 6 | Flammable liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 7 | Flammable solid | Category 1 |
|
Danger | H228: Flammable solid |
P370+P378: In case of fire: Use ... for extinction. P210: Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. ? No smoking. P240: Ground/bond container and receiving equipment. P241: Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting/.../equipment. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. |
Its United Nations number is UN-1343 (4.1 II); the substance is considered to fall under Category 1. |
| 8 | Self-reactive substances and mixtures | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | There are no chemical groups present in the molecule associated with explosive or self-reactive properties. |
| 9 | Pyrophoric liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 10 | Pyrophoric solids | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Its autoignition point is ca. 100degC (Merck (14th, 2006)), which is higher than 70degC. |
| 11 | Self-heating substances and mixtures | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| 12 | Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases | Not classified | - | - | - | - | It contains metalloid (P). The UN-1343 of the IMDGC describes that the substance is characterized as evolving toxic and flammable gases; however, it is not rated as Class 4.3, presumably because the amount of gases evolved from this substance does not meet the definition of evolving gases. As additional information, phosphorous pentasulfide (UN-1340), which is similar to this substance, is rated as Category 2. |
| 13 | Oxidizing liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 14 | Oxidizing solids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | The substance does not contain oxygen, fluorine or chlorine. |
| 15 | Organic peroxides | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Inorganic compound |
| 16 | Corrosive to metals | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Oral） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. Its LDLo = 95 mg/kg for rabbit (RTECS (2008)). |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Dermal） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| 2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| 3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| 4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| 4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | It is documented that allergic contact dermatitis is experienced by workers in manufacture of matches that contain this substance (HSDB (2002)). However, there are no other datasets available; classification is not possible due to insufficient data. |
| 5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| 6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| 7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| 8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data. |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| 10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Acute） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
