Phloroglucinol (CAS NO.108-73-6) is the aromatic phenol and shows similar white to slight yellow crystal or white powder. It belongs to the organic compound. And this m-trihydroxybenzene can be used to manufacture the antispasmodic drug. m-trihydroxybenzene is another name of this chemical. In some countries, this medicine may only be approved for veterinary use. Sometimes, before you buy phloroglucinol, you need to get the phloroglucinol msds first. The following phloroglucinol msds is provided by the Beijng Wisdom Chemicals Co., Ltd.

Flammability:  0
Physical hazards:  0
NFPA Rating
Health Hazard:  0
Fire:  0
Reactivity Hazard:  0

Potential Health Effects

4. First Aid Measures

Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Eyes -  In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.
Skin -  After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of ... (Water, unless specified as water-reactive).
Ingestion -  If swallowed, do not induce vomiting: seek medical advice immediately and show this container or label.
Inhalation -  In case of accident by inhalation: remove casualty to fresh air and keep at rest.

5. Fire-fighting measures

Flammable properties
Flash point no data available
Ignition temperature no data available
Suitable extinguishing media
Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters
Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills: Clean up spills in a manner that does not disperse dust into the air. Use non-sparking tools and equipment. Reduce airborne dust and prevent scattering by moistening with water. Pick up spill for recovery or disposal and place in a closed container. 
 
7. Handling and storage

Handling
Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. Normal measures for preventive fire protection. 
Storage: Store in a cool, dry area. Keep container tightly closed. 

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Airborne Exposure Limits:
None established. 

Ventilation System: 
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. 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): 
For conditions of use where exposure to dust or mist is apparent and engineering controls are not feasible, a particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn. 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-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres. 

Skin Protection: 
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact. 

Eye Protection: 
Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
