Phosphorus amorphous, red. Phosphorus pentachloride. An inflammable solid in the form of a reddish-brown powder. Readily ignited by friction. Will contaminate foodstuffs. In the presence of fire, fumes given off by this substance are irritating and suffocating. Insoluble in water. Do not stow with nitrates, chlorates, perchlorates or permanganates or oxidizing materials (yellow label). Mixtures may result in explosions by friction or shock. Stow well away from all living quarters and foodstuffs. Keep cool. An inflammable solid in the form of a grayish-yellow crys talline mass with an irritating odor. In contact with air, gives off fumes which have a strong irritating effect upon the eyes and mucous tissue. Decomposes upon contact with water, with liberation of much heat and formation of hydrochloric acid. Will contaminate foodstuffs. In the presence of fire, fumes given off by this substance are irritating. Stow well away from living quarters and foodstuffs. Do not stow with oxidizing materials (yellow label). Keep cool and dry.
