===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: HIGH CONCENTRATION OF GRAPHITE
OR POLYETHYLENE DUSTS MAY BE IRRITATING TO THE EYES, SKIN, MUCOUS
MEMBRANES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. CHRONIC: INHALATION OF HIGH
CONCENTRATIONS OF GRAPHITE OVER PRO LONGED PERIODS OF TIME MAY
CAUSE PNEUMOCONIOSIS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE LISTED.
Effects of Overexposure:OVEREXPOSURE SYMPTOMS CAN INCLUDE COUGH,
SHORTNESS OF BREATH, AND DECREASE IN PULMONARY FUNTION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PRE-EXISTING PULMONARY DISORDERS
SUCH AS EMPHYSEMA MAY POSSIBLY BE AGGRAVATED BY PROLONGED EXPOSURE
TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF GRAPHITE DUSTS.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INHALE: REMOVE PERSON TO FRESH AIR. IF BREATHING IS
DIFFICULT, OXYGEN MAY BE ADMINISTERED. IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED,
ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION SHOULD BE STARTED IMMEDIATELY. EYE: FLUSH
WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTIONIF
IRRITATION PERSISTS. SKIN: WASH THOROUGHLY WITH MILD SOAP AND
WATER. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION DEVELOPS. INGESTION IS
NOT EXPECTED TO BE AN IMPORT ANT ROUTE INTO THE BODY. IF, HOWEVER,
THE MATERIAL IS INGESTED, GIVE 2 GLASSES OF WATER AND INDUCE
VOMITING. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Extinguishing Media:BULK MATERIAL IS NON COMBUSTIBLE.DUSTS ARE
COMBUSTIBLE=USE WATER,CARBON DIOXIDE,DRY CHEMICAL OR FOAM.
Fire Fighting Procedures:MATERIAL IN OR NEAR FIRE SHOULD BE COOLED WITH
A WATER SPRAY OR FOG.A SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS OPERATED
IN THE POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE,AND FULL FIRE FIGHTING PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING SHOULD BE WOR N FOR COMBATING FIRES.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:THERMAL DECOMPOSITION OR COMBUSTION MAY
PRODUCE DENSE SMOKE,OXIDES OF CARBON AND LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT
ORGANIC COMPOUNDS INCLUDING ORGANIC ACIDS,AND ALDEHYDES,AND
ALCOHOLS,WHOSE COMPOSITION HAS NOT BEE N CHARACTERIZED.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:SPILLED OR RELEASED MATERIAL SHOULD BE PICKED
UP WITH A SUITABLE IMPLEMENT AND RETURNED TO THE ORGINAL CONTAINER
IF REUSABLE. IF NOT REUSABLE, THE MATERIAL SHOULD BE PLACED IN DOT
APPROVED CONTAINERS FOR DISPOSAL. PERSONNEL INVOLVED IN THE
CLEANUP SHOULD WEAR APPROPRIATED PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN LABELED, CLOSED CONTAINERS A
WAY FROM HEAT, SPARKS, OPEN FLAMES, AND OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION.
DO NOT STORE WITH OR NEAR INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS.
Other Precautions:ANY DUSTS GENERATED DURING HANDLING OR PROCESSING
SHOULD BE CLEANED UP BY WET MOPPING OR VACUUMING WIT A UNIT WHICH
CONTAINS A HEPA FILTER. DRY SWEEPING CAN RESUSPEND PARTICULATE
MATTER IN THE ATMOSPH ERE.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:IF EXPOSURES EXCEED THE LIMITS CITED BY LESS
THAN FACTOR OF 10,USE MINIMUM NIOSH-APPROVED 1/2 FACEPIECE
RESPIRATOR EQUIPPED WITH CARTRIDGE FOR PARTICULATE MATTER WITH
EXPOSURE LIMIT OF NOT LESS THA N 0.05MG/M3.IF EXPOSURE EXCEEDS 10
TIMES THE LIMIT CITED,CONSULT PROFESSIONAL INDUSTRIAL HYGIENIST OR
CONSULT YOUR RESPIRATORY***
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION SHOULD BE PROVIDED TO MAINTAIN
EXPOSURE BELOW LIMITS.NEED FOR LOCAL VENTILATION SHOULD BE
EVALUATED BY INDUSTRIAL HYGIENIST.
Protective Gloves:PROTECTIVE GLOVES
Eye Protection:PROTECTIVE GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS
Other Protective Equipment:WHERE NORMAL WORK CLOTHES MAY BECOME SOILED
BY DUSTS,COVERALLS ARE RECOMMENDED. WASH SOILED CLOTHING BEFORE
REUSE.
Work Hygienic Practices:ALL CHEMICALS SHOULD BE HANDLED SO AS TO
PREVENT EYE CONTACT AND EXCESSIVE OR REPEATED SKIN
CONTACT.APPROPRIATE EYE AND SKIN PROTECTION SHOULD BE
EMPLOYED.INHILATION OF DUST AND VAPOR SHOULD BE AVOIDED.
Supplemental Safety and Health
***PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT SUPPLIER FOR SELECTION OF PROPER EQUIPMENT. THE
EVALUATION OF THE NEED FOR RESPIRATORY PROTECTION SHOULD BE
DETERMINED BT A PROFESSIONAL INDUSTRIAL HYGIENSIT.
