CALCIUM PHOSPHIDE |
4.3/ 6.1 |
||
DIETHYLTHIOPHOSPHORYL CHLORIDE |
The substance decomposes on heating producing toxic fumes •Upon heating, toxic fumes are formed |
8 |
|
PHOSPHINE |
The gas is heavier than air |
The substance may spontaneously ignite on contact with air •On combustion, forms toxic fumes of phosphorus oxides •Reacts with water, halogens, nitric acid, nitrous oxides, oxygen, copper, causing fire and explosion hazard •On contact with air it emits toxic fumes of phosphorus oxides |
6.1 / 2.1 |
PHOSPHORUS |
The substance may spontaneously ignite on contact with air producing toxic fumes (phosphorus oxides) •Reacts violently with oxidants, halogens and sulphur, with fire and explosion hazard •Reacts with strong alkalies, giving off toxic gas (phosphine) |
4.2/ 6.1 |
|
PHOSPHORUS OXYCHLORIDE |
8 |
||
PHOSPHORUS PENTACHLORIDE |
On burning toxic gases are formed •The solution in water is a strong acid, it reacts violently with bases and is corrosive •Reacts with water, producing hydrogen chloride fume and phosphoric acid mist •On contact with air it emits corrosive fumes •Attacks plastics and rubber |

||
TRIPHENYLPHOSPHINE |
Dust explosion possible if in powder or granular form, mixed with air |
The substance decomposes on heating producing highly toxic fumes of phosphorus oxides and phosphine •Reacts with strong acids and strong oxidants |
|
TRIS(2-ETHYLHEXYL) PHOSPHATE |
