04 · Handling and storage
Storing and handling Trixylenyl phosphate
Incompatible materials
This product is incompatible with strong oxidizers, strong acids and strong alkalis. It hydrolyzes slowly at ambient temperatures in acidic or alkaline aqueous solutions.
Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
Reactivity
Organophosphates, such as TRIXYLENYL PHOSPHATE, are susceptible to formation of highly toxic and flammable phosphine gas in the presence of strong reducing agents such as hydrides. Partial oxidation by oxidizing agents may result in the release of toxic phosphorus oxides.
