STABILITY: Stable

CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Excessive heat, freezing temperatures, corrosive

atmospheres or liquids which may damage containers.                            

 

INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID): No hazardous reactions are expected to

occur under normal industrial conditions.                                      

 

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OR BYPRODUCTS: Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and

other toxic gases including traces of styrene and/or acrylamide monomer.       

 

HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.

 

====================  SECTION VI  -  HEALTH HAZARD DATA  =======================

 

INHALATION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: Effects vary among individuals

and may include nausea and irritation of the nose, throat, and respiratory     

tract.                                                                         

 

SKIN AND EYE CONTACT HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: Eye contact may

cause irritation, redness, and tearing.  This material is not expected to be a 

skin irritant, however, if allowed to remain on the skin a thin film may form  

which may result in irritation depending on the method of removal.             

 

INGESTION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: While this material has a very

low degree of toxicity, ingestion of large amounts can cause gastrointestinal  

irritation, vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea.                                    

 

HEALTH HAZARDS (ACUTE AND CHRONIC): Breathing high concentrations of aerosols or

mists of this material may cause nausea and irritation of the nose, throat, and

respiratory tract.  NOTE: this product contains trace amounts of residual butyl

acrylate (CAS 141-32-2, TLV = 10 ppm ACGIH, OSHA) and styrene monomer (CAS 100-

42-5, TLV = 50 ppm ACGIH) which may be released during processing and storage. 

At these trace levels, they should present no hazard with normal use.          

 

 

CARCINOGENICITY:  NTP: No   IARC MONOGRAPHS: Yes  OSHA REGULATED: No

 

CHRONIC EFFECTS OF CARBON BLACK OVEREXPOSURE

The carbon black component of this formula is an IARC listed Group 2B substance,

considered by IARC to be a "Possible human carcinogen". Carbon black is not    

designated as a carcinogen by the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) or the

U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The American        

Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) classifies carbon black

as A4, "Not classifiable as a human carcinogen". Carbon black is not presently 

listed by California Proposition 65, but the California Office of Environmental

Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) published on October 29, 1999 a Notice of     

Intent to List "Carbon Black (airborne particles of respirable size)" as a     

"substance known to the State to cause cancer".                                 

 

MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Respiratory symptoms

associated with pre-existing lung disorders may be aggravated by exposure to   

this material.                                                                  

 

EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES: INHALATION OVEREXPOSURE: Remove person to

fresh air, If breathing stops, apply artificial respiration and seek immediate 

medical attention.  NOTE: Use supplied-air respirator for rescue in enclosed   

areas.  EYE CONTACT: Flush with large amounts of tepid water for at least 15   

minutes, get medical attention.  INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting, if aspirated

material can cause chemical pneumonitis or pulmonary edema.  Drink 2 glasses of

milk or water to dilute and contact physician or poison center.  SKIN: Wash with

soap and water, avoid repeated contact.

===========  SECTION VII  -  PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE  ============

 

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Dike to prevent entry

into sewers or surface waters.  Recover free liquid by shoveling into container,

or add absorbent such as sand or earth to spill and sweep up.  Provide         

ventilation, wear a respirator.  Notify proper authorities if spill contaminates

land or waterways.                                                             

 

WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Dispose of in chemical landfill or incinerate assuring

conformity to all applicable local, state, and federal governing regulations.  

 

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: Do not expose to direct sun or

freezing temperatures, store inside away from extreme temperature variations.  

Protect containers from physical damage.  Keep containers tightly closed when  

not in use.  Do not inhale vapors or mists, use with adequate ventilation and  

wear a respirator.  Do not store with food or animal feed.                     

 

OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Do not cut, weld, grind, drill, solder, or braze on or near

containers whether full or empty.  Do not reuse containers without professional

reconditioning and testing.  Do not remove warning labels from containers.     

 

=====================  SECTION VIII  -  CONTROL MEASURES  ======================

 

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Using this product in poorly ventilated areas may

require the use of a respirator.  Use Mine Safety Appliance respirator #448849 

with organic vapor cartridge and mist filter (or equivalent) if air monitoring 

demonstrates that the concentration of listed hazardous materials exceeds the  

recommended TLV's.  In enclosed areas where ventilation is not used, wear a Mine

Safety Appliance #475217 pressure/demand air-supplied respirator or equivalent.

 

VENTILATION: Use good general mechanical ventilation and local exhaust adequate

to reduce the concentration of vapors or mists of the listed hazardous materials

to below the Threshold Limit Value(s).                                         

 

PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Use of gloves is recommended, use chemically resistant type.

 

EYE PROTECTION: Use is recommended, use splash goggles or full face shields as

necessary.                                                                      

 

OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Use impervious apron or coveralls to prevent

contaminating street clothes which may result in prolonged exposure.  The use of

head caps or helmets is recommended.                                            

 

WORK AND HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Eye washes and safety showers in the workplace are

recommended.  Practice good industrial hygiene when using this product:  After 

using this product, do not smoke or eat until washing thoroughly.  Remove      

saturated clothing or shoes at once and launder before reuse.
