Regulatory note: Any release to the environment above reportable quantities (RQ) may trigger CERCLA or local EPA notifications depending on the phosphonate concentration. Always check the SDS for the specific RQ. Specific Hazards:

The file opened. But unlike any standard SDS, this one was a warzone of black bars.

According to its Safety Data Sheet (SDS), NALCO 2584 is a colourless, odourless liquid with a high pH of 14 at a 5% concentration, indicating it is strongly alkaline. Hazard Identification:
