ORG RO SCALE CONTROL
Category
Scaling and iron fouling of the RO membranes will reduce system performance and lead to premature membrane replacement. Precipitation of scale and deposits build up on the RO membrane, which leads to poor permeate quality, low permeate production, unscheduled downtime, increased water consumption and increased energy costs.
RXSOL RO Scale Control is a high-performance, broad-spectrum antiscalant formulated to protect Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems by effectively preventing scale formation and iron fouling. It helps maintain system efficiency while extending membrane life under varying operating conditions.

| Inhalation: |
If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area. Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested. Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures. Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Get medical attention immediately. |
| Ingestion: | Immediately give a glass of water. First aid is not generally required. If in doubt, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor |
| Notes to Physicians | Treat symptomatically. |
| Extinguishing media | Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment. |
| Protective Equipment | Use personal protective equipment. |
| Hazardous combustionproducts | Carbon dioxide (CO2), Nitrogen oxides (NOx), Phosphorus oxides (POx), Other pyrolysis products typical of burning organic material. May emit poisonous fumes. May emit corrosive fumes |
| Advice for firefighters | Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves in the event of a fire. Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water courses. Use fire fighting procedures suitable for surrounding area. DO NOT approach containers suspected to be hot. Cool fire exposed containers with water spray from a protected location. If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire. |
| Specific extinguishing methods | Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. |
| Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures |
Ensure adequate ventilation. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Avoid inhalation, ingestion and contact with skin and eyes. Wear suitable personal protective equipment.Respiratory protective equipment. |
| Enviromental Precaution | Do not allow contact with soil, surface or ground water.If the products get into drains, inform the relevant authorities immediately. |
|
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up |
Stop leak if safe to do so. Contain spillage, and then collect with noncombustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to local / national regulations (see section 13). Flush away traces with water. For large spills, dike spilled material or otherwise contain material to ensure runoff does not reach a waterway. |
| Advice on safe handling | Avoid all personal contact, including inhalation. Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs Use in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with moisture. Avoid contact with incompatible materials. When handling, DO NOT eat, drink or smoke. Keep containers securely sealed when not in use. DO NOT allow clothing wet with material to stay in contact with skin |
| Storage | Do not store near acids. Keep out of reach of children. Store in suitable labeled containers. Storage temperature : 10 °C to 30 °C |
| Advice on general occupational hygiene | Wash hands after use. Do not to eat, drink and smoke in work areas. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas. |
| Engineering Control | Remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Well-designed engineering controls can be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions to provide this high level of protection. The basic types of engineering controls are: Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk. Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard "physically" away from the worker and ventilation that strategically "adds" and "removes" air in the work environment. Ventilation can remove or dilute an air contaminant if designed properly. The design of a ventilation system must match the particular process and chemical or contaminant in use. Employers may need to use multiple types of controls to prevent employee overexposure | |||||||||||||||

| Skin |
Evidence exists, or practical experience predicts, that the material either produces inflammation of the skin in a substantial number of individuals following direct contact, and/or produces significant inflammation when applied to the healthy intact skin of animals, for up to four hours, such inflammation being present twenty-four hours or more after the end of the exposure period. Skin irritation may also be present after prolonged or repeated exposure; this may result in a form of contact dermatitis (nonallergic). The dermatitis is often characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling (oedema) which may progress to blistering (vesiculation), scaling and thickening of the epidermis. At the microscopic level there may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer of the skin (spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of the epidermis. The material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis condition Skin contact is not thought to have harmful health effects (as classified under EC Directives); the material may still produce health damage following entry through wounds, lesions or abrasions. The acids and salts of ATMP, HEDP, and DTPMP can be considered to be of low acute dermal toxicity. ATMP acid and its tetraand pentasodium salt were practically non-toxic with LD50 values exceeding the concentrations tested. Dermal LD50 values were determined to be greater than 6310 mg active acid/kg bw. No dermal toxicity was observed for HEDP acid and its salts at the highest tested concentrations tested of 1650 mg active salt/kg bw. DTPMP compounds |
| Ingestion |
The material has NOT been classified by EC Directives or other classification systems as "harmful by ingestion". This is because of the lack of corroborating animal or human evidence. The material may still be damaging to the health of the individual, following ingestion, especially where pre-existing organ (e.g liver, kidney) damage is evident. Present definitions of harmful or toxic substances are generally based on doses producing mortality rather than those producing morbidity (disease, ill-health).Gastrointestinal tract discomfort may produce nausea and vomiting. In an occupational setting however, ingestion of insignificant quantities is not thought to be cause for concern. The phosphonic acid compounds ATMP, HEDP, DTPMP and their salts can be considered to be of low to moderate acute oral toxicity. ATMP acid was of moderate acute toxicity to mammals. The acute oral LD50 in rat was determined to be2910 mg active acid/kg bw. In comparison, the tetrasodium and pentasodium salt of ATMP were less acutely toxic with LD50 values of 8610 and 7120 mg active salt/kg bw, respectively. HEDP acid and its salts are of moderate acute oral toxicity LD50's in rats and mice ranging from 1100 to 1878 mg active acid/kg bw. The oral LD50 values of HEDP salts were in a slightly wider range from 581 mg active salt/kg bw to greater than 5000 mg active salt/kg. |
| Inhalation | Evidence shows, or practical experience predicts, that the material produces irritation of the respiratory system, in a substantial number of individuals, following inhalation. In contrast to most organs, the lung is able to respond to a chemical insult by first removing or neutralising the irritant and then repairing the damage. The repair process, which initially evolved to protect mammalian lungs from foreign matter and antigens, may however, produce further lung damage resulting in the impairment of gas exchange, the primary function of the lungs. Respiratory tract irritation often results in an inflammatory response involving the recruitment and activation of many cell types, mainly derived from the vascular system. The material has NOT been classified by EC Directives or other classification systems as "harmful by inhalation". This is because of the lack of corroborating animal or human evidence. In the absence of such evidence, care should be taken nevertheless to ensure exposure is kept to a minimum and that suitable control measures be used, in an occupational setting to control vapours, fumes and aerosols. |
| Chronic Exposure |
Long-term exposure to respiratory irritants may result in disease of the airways involving difficult breathing and related systemic problems. Limited evidence suggests that repeated or long-term occupational exposure may produce cumulative health effects involving organs or biochemical systems. Long term exposure to organophosphonate chelating agents may cause adverse effects |

| Biodegradability |
Orthophosphate has been found to suppress phosphonate utilisation in many microorganisms. Thus organisms preferentially use inorganic phosphate, which may explain the low biodegradability of phosphonates in synthetic test media and natural sewage systems.The classical tests, such as the OECD screening test, BOD20 test or the closed bottle test show only a low degree of ultimate biodegradation of phosphonate derivatives. For ATMP and HEDP a DOC (Dissolved Organic Carbon) removal of 23 - 33 % was observed in an inherent biodegradability test (Zahn-Wellens test), but mineralisation was very low even after long-term incubation. However, several studies have shown that phosphonate degrading bacteria can be found in almost any environment whether soil, activated sludge or river water. At low ortho-phosphate concentration, i.e. if phosphate is the growth-limiting factor, phosphonate degradation occurs with almost complete breakdown of HEDP (94 %). DTPMP showed 60 % degradation under similar conditions. No quantitative study was done for ATMP. For Phosphate: The principal problems of phosphate contamination of the environment relates to eutrophication processes in lakes and ponds. Phosphorus is an essential plant nutrient and is usually the limiting nutrient for blue-green algae. |
