| SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION |
|=========================================================================|
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: May cause target organ or system damage. Refer to
chronic health effects section. Vapors from heated material may be
irritating. Contact with heated material can cause thermal burns.
Contact with skin or eyes may cause irritation.
ACUTE EFFECTS - EYE CONTACT: Contact may cause eye irritation. Exposure
to hot material may cause thermal burns.
ACUTE EFFECTS - SKIN CONTACT: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause
irritation. Frequent or prolonged contact may irritate the skin and cause
a skin rash (dermatitis). Contact with product at elevated temperatures
can result in thermal burns.
ACUTE EFFECTS - INHALATION: High gas, vapor, mist or dust concentrations
may be harmful if inhaled. Vapors and/or aerosols formed at elevated
temperatures can be irritating.

| SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION |
|=========================================================================|
ACUTE EFFECTS - INGESTION: Not expected to present a hazard in normal
industrial use. May cause nausea and vomiting.
CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE EFFECTS: *When heated to high temperatures (above 150
degrees C), this product may release formaldehyde vapors. Formaldehyde is
irritating to the skin, eyes, nose, and throat, and has been listed as a
carcinogen by NTP, IARC, and OSHA. Repeated or prolonged overexposure may
cause serious respiratory and/or skin sensitization. Testing in animals
has shown reproductive effects. *Repeated and prolonged inhalation of
graphite or carbon dusts may cause pulmonary fibrosis, emphysema, and
pneumoconiosis. The severity of these effects is greatly influenced by the
presence of other harmful mineral dusts, most notably crystalline silica.
*This product contains encapsulated mica and coal dust. Repeated and
prolonged occupational overexposure to mica and/or coal dust may cause
delayed lung injury which may result in pneumoconiosis and/or positive
chest x-rays. Mica and coal dust contain crystalline silicon dioxide
(quartz) which has been listed by IARC and NTP as a suspected human
carcinogen via inhalation. No exposure to free respirable dust is
anticipated, however, during normal application of this product. Refer to
respiratory protection section for further requirements. *Repeated or
prolonged overexposure to phenol via inhalation, ingestion, or skin
absorption may cause damage to the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and spleen.
Phenol is mutagenic "in-vitro." *This product contains encapsulated talc.
Talc may be released by grinding or machining of material. It should be
noted, that repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to talc has
been associated with pulmonary fibrosis and/or pneumoconiosis. These
conditions may exist with or without a decrease in lung function.
OTHER INFORMATION: Ammonia may be released during heating. Ammonia is a
strong respiratory irritant.
PRIMARY ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY: SKIN CONTACT, EYE CONTACT,
|=========================================================================|
| SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES |
|=========================================================================|
EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. Get medical
attention, if irritation persists.
SKIN CONTACT: For hot product, immediately immerse in or flush the
affected area with large amounts of cold water to dissipate heat. Cover
with clean cotton sheeting or gauze and get prompt medical attention. No
attempt should be made to remove material from skin or to remove
contaminated clothing as the damaged flesh can be easily torn. For cold
material: flush with water. Remove and wash contaminated clothing.
Seek medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical
attention.
INGESTION: Swallowing less than an ounce will not cause significant harm.
For larger amounts, do not induce vomiting, but give one or two glasses of
water to drink and get medical attention.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: Treat symptomatically.

FLASH POINT: N.A. LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT: 0.03oz/ft3 (dust)
UPPER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT: N/D
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: No data
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:ALCOHOL FOAM,CO2,DRY CHEMICAL,FOAM,WATER FOG
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Finely divided dust in air may present
explosion hazard. Prevent dust buildup.
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: Treat as petroleum fire. Wear
appropriate approved protective equipment. Avoid directing water stream
directly into flame; it may cause frothing with subsequent spread of flame.
|=========================================================================|
| SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES |
|=========================================================================|
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Reclaim clean
material. Contaminated material should be swept or shoveled into
appropriate waste container and disposed of in accordance with applicable
federal, state and local regulations.
|=========================================================================|
| SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE |
|=========================================================================|
HANDLING: Use only in a well ventilated area. Minimize dust generation
and accumulation. Avoid breathing vapors from heated material.
STORAGE: Keep away from heat and flame.
|=========================================================================|
| SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION |
|=========================================================================|
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: General ventilation usually adequate. Use local
ventilation in areas of processing or handling of heated material.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Use NIOSH-approved dust/mist respirator when
grinding or machining cured compound. Use NIOSH-approved vapor cartridge
respirator for heated material if component TLV(s) are exceeded or if
health effects occur.
SKIN PROTECTION: Clean clothing to cover skin. Butyl rubber gloves.
Neoprene gloves. PVA gloves. Teflon gloves. Viton gloves. Thermal
gloves when handling hot material.
EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Accessible eye wash and safety shower.
HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Follow good general industrial safety practices during
use. Do not smoke or eat during use.
