=============  Composition/Information on Ingredients  =============

Name:CARBON BLACK
CAS:1333-86-4
RTECS #:FF5800000
= Wt:100.
OSHA PEL:3.5 MG/M3
ACGIH TLV:3.5 MG/M3

=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:YES	 OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: DUST CONCS ABOVE PERMISSIBLE
    EXPOS LIMIT MAY CAUSE TEMPORARY UPPER RESP TRACT DISCOMFORT.
    CHRONIC: COMMERCIALLY PRODUCED CARBON BLACK IS DESIGNATED AS
    NUISANCE DUST BY ACGIH-TLV COMMITTEE, PROD UCING NO EVICENCE OF
    PATHOLOGICAL/RESTRICTIVE CHANGES IN LUNG ARCHITECTURE/FUNCTION. NO
    CARCIN EFT HAS BEEN FOUND IN ANIMALS/HUMANS DUE TO EXPOS TO
    COMMERICAL CARBON BLACK. CARBON BLACK DOES CNTN TRAC E AMTS OF
    STRONGLY ABSORBED POLYNUCLEAR AROMATIC CMPDS (PNA'S). SOME PNA'S IN
    NON-ABSORBED FORM HAVE BEEN FOUND TO BE CARCIN. EPIDEMIOLOGY
    STUDIES OF U. S. & W. EUROPEAN CARBON BLACK WORKERS SHOW NO (  EFTS
    OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:CARBON BLACK: IARC MONOGRAPHS ON THE
    EVALATION OF CARCINOGENIC RISK OF CHEMICALS TO MAN, VOLUME 65, PAGE
    149, 1996: GROUP 2B.
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: SIGNIFICANT HLTH EFTS DUE TO OCCUP
    EXPOS. EARLIER STUDIES IN U.S.S. R. & E. EUROPE REPORT HIGH
    INCIDENCE OF RESP DISEASE, INCL PNEUMOCONIOSIS, EMPHYSEMA &
    RHINITIS. THESE STUDIES ARE OF QUES TIONABLE VALIDITY DUE TO POOR
    DESIGN & METHODOLOGY & LACK OF ADEQ CONTROLS TO ACCOUNT FOR EFT OF
    EXPOS TO OTHER AGENTS, E.G., CARBON MONOXIDE, COAL OIL, PETRO VAPS,
    SMOKING. ALSO DUST LEVELS REPORTED	WERE FAR IN EXCESS OF VALUES
    FOUND IN U.S. & W. EUROPEAN CARBON BLACK OPERATIONS. CHRONIC
    INFLAMM, LUNG FIBROSIS & LUNG TUMMORS HAVE BEEN FOUND IN RATS
    EXPERIMENTALLY EXPOSED FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME  TO EXCESSIVE CONC
    OF CARBON (SUPDAT)

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:INHALATION: FOR INHALATION DISCOMFORT, REMOVE TO FRESH AIR.
    EYES: FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER, OCCASIONALLY LIFTING THE LOWER
    AND UPPER LIDS FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. SKIN: WASH SKIN WITH WATER
    AND MILD  SOAP OR WATERLESS HAND CLEANER TO REMOVE CARBON BLACK
    DUST. INGESTION: ENTRY BY MOUTH IS NOT LIKELY TO PRODUCE ADVERSE
    EFFECTS. CALL MD IMMEDIATELY .

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Autoignition Temp:>260.C, 500.F
Autoignition Temp Text:IN AIR
Extinguishing Media:WATER SPRAY.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA & FULL PROTECTIVE
    EQUIPMENT . NORMAL FOG OR NOZZLE JET APPLICATION AND/OR EXCLUSION
    OF AIR.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NONE. CARBON MONOXIDE AND CARBON DIOXIDE
    ARE EMITTED. IT MAY NOT BE OBVIOUS THAT CARBON BLACK IS BURNING
    UNLESS IT IS STIRRED AND SPARKS ARE APPARENT.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:VACUUM, SWEEP OR SPRAY WITH WATER AND COLLECT
    IN A SUITABLE CONTAINER.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP IN CLOSED CONTAINER. DOT LABEL
    REQUIRED: NONE.
Other Precautions:TEST FOR CARBON MONOXIDE AND OXYGEN BEFORE ENTRY INTO
    CONFINED SPACES. USE APPROPRIATE RESPIRATOR OR AIR LINE FOR
    POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO CARBON MONOXIDE, CARBON DIOXIDE AND INADEQUATE
    OXYGEN CONTENT IF  TEST RESULTS SO INDICATE.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:NIOSH APROVED DUST MASK ABOVE TLV/PEL.
Ventilation:USE GUIDELINES RECOMMENDED BY AMERICAN CONFERENCE OF
    GOVERNMENTAL INDUSTRIAL HYGIENISTS IN CURRENT EDITION OF
    "INDUSTRIAL VENTILATION", CONSIDERING  TLV.
Protective Gloves:IMPERVIOUS GLOVES .
Eye Protection:ANSI APPROVED CHEMICAL WORKERS GOGGLES .
Other Protective Equipment:EYE WASH AND DELUGE SHOWER MEETING ANSI
    DESIGN CRITERIA .
Supplemental Safety and Health
HLTH HAZ: BLACK & OTHER INSOLUBLE DUST PARTICLES WHICH OVERWHELM LUNG
    CLEARANCE MECHANISMS. RESEARCHERS WHO CONDUCTED THESE TESTS BELIEVE
    THAT THESE DISEASES MOST LIKELY RESULT FROM MASSIVE ACCUMULATI ON
    OF SMALL DUST PARTICLES IN LUNG, "LUNG OVERLOAD PHENOMENON," RATHER
    THAN FROM A SPECIFIC CHEM EFT OF (OTHER INFO)

==================  Physical/Chemical Properties  ==================

Spec Gravity:1.7-1.9 (H*2O=1)

=================  Stability and Reactivity Data  =================

Stability Indicator/Materials to Avoid:YES
EXCESSIVE HEAT AND STRONG OXIDIZERS SUCH AS CHLORATES, BROMATES AND
    NITRATES.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:CARBON MONOXIDE AND CARBON DIOXIDE
    WHEN BURNING.

====================  Disposal Considerations  ====================

Waste Disposal Methods:BURY OR BURN IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL, STATE AND
    FEDERAL REGULATIONS. CARBON BLACK IS NOT A HAZARDOUS WASTE.
