Chemical Formula: 24WO3 . 2H3PO4 . xH2O
Product Codes: 9633
Ingredient CAS No Percent Hazardous

Phosphotungstic Acid 12067-99-1 100% No
Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
Inhalation: Inhalation of dust causes a mild, acidic, irritant action
which can be relieved by coughing or sneezing. Heavy exposure to the dust of
soluble tungsten compounds produces changes in body weight, behavior, blood
cells, cholinesterase activity and sperm in experimental animals.
Ingestion: Phosphotungstic acid is not especially toxic but it can act as
an irritant to the gastrointestinal tract. Abdominal pain, vomiting or diarrhea
may follow large ingestions. Ingestion of large amounts of soluble tungsten
compounds produces changes in body weight, behavior, blood cells,
cholinesterase, activity and sperm in experimental animals.
Skin Contact: Causes skin irritation. Solutions are possibly corrosive.
Eye Contact: Acidic irritant, possibly also abrasive.
Chronic Exposure: No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: No information found.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical
attention.
Ingestion: Give large amounts of water to drink. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash
clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention
immediately.
Fire: Not considered to be a fire hazard.
Explosion: Not considered to be an explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use any means suitable for extinguishing
surrounding fire.
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective
clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full
facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
Ventilate area of leak or
spill. Keep unnecessary and unprotected people away from area of spill. Wear
appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills:
Pick up and place in a suitable container for reclamation or disposal, using a
method that does not generate dust.
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
Airborne Exposure Limits: -ACGIH Threshold Limit
Value (TLV): Soluble tungsten compounds, as W:
1 mg/m3 (TWA), 3 mg/m3 (STEL).Insoluble tungsten compounds, as W: 5 mg/m3 (TWA),
10 mg/m3 (STEL).
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is
recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local
exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions
of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general
work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A
Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): If the exposure limit is exceeded
and engineering controls are not feasible, a half facepiece particulate
respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn for up to ten times
the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate
regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest.. A full-face
piece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N100 filters) may be worn up to 50
times the exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration specified by the
appropriate regulatory agency, or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. If
oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present,
use a NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure
levels are not known, use a full-facepiece positive-pressure, air-supplied
respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in
oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield
where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain
and quick-drench facilities in work area.
Appearance: Small, colorless to gray, or slightly
yellow-green crystals.
