| SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION |
|=========================================================================|
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Vapors from heated material may be irritating.
Contact with heated material can cause thermal burns. Contact may be
Irritating. Potential skin sensitizer. Repeated or prolonged overexposure
may cause target organ effects. See Chronic Overexposure Effects.
ACUTE EFFECTS - EYE CONTACT: Slightly irritating but does not injure eye
tissue. Exposure to hot material may cause thermal burns.
ACUTE EFFECTS - SKIN CONTACT: Substance may cause slight skin irritation.
Contact with product at elevated temperatures can result in thermal burns.
Repeated and prolonged contact may cause sensitization.
ACUTE EFFECTS - INHALATION: Dust or vapors may be slightly irritating to
respiratory tract.
ACUTE EFFECTS - INGESTION: May cause nausea and vomiting. Ingestion may
cause fatigue, muscular weakness, labored breathing.

|=========================================================================|
| SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION |
|=========================================================================|
CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE 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 silicon dioxide (quartz, silica). No
exposure to free respirable silica is anticipated during normal use of this
product. It should be noted, however, that free respirable silica may be
released by grinding or machining of cured compound and has been listed as
a confirmed human carcinogen by NTP and IARC. Inhalation of free
respirable silica may cause silicosis or other serious delayed lung injury.
Recent studies have also suggested that individuals with silicosis are at
increased risk of developing tuberculosis, scleroderma, and/or increased
incidence of kidney lesions. *This product contains encapsulated antimony
trioxide. Repeated and prolonged inhalation of antimony trioxide may cause
benign pneumoconiosis. Such pneumonconiosis may exist with or without
decrease in lung function. Long-term inhalation stydies indicate
commerical grade antimony oxide causes malignant lung tumors in rats. No
exposure to free respirable antimony oxide is anticipated during normal use
of this product. Antimony oxide may be released, however, by grinding or
machining coated parts. Use NIOSH-approved dust/mist respirator when
grinding or machining on coated parts.
OTHER INFORMATION: No information.
PRIMARY ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY: INHALATION, SKIN CONTACT, EYE CONTACT,
INGESTION,
|=========================================================================|
| SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES |
|=========================================================================|
EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes. Get immediate medical attention.
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: treat symptomatically.
INHALATION: No specific treatment is necessary since this material is not
likely to be hazardous by inhalation. If exposed to excessive levels of
dusts or fumes, remove to fresh air and get medical attention if cough or
other symptoms develop.
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.

| SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES |
|=========================================================================|
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:ALCOHOL FOAM,FOAM,DRY CHEMICAL,CO2,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: Wash thoroughly after handling. Minimize dust generation and
accumulation. Avoid breathing dust, vapor, mist or gas. DO NOT take
internally. FOR INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY.
STORAGE: Keep away from heat and flame.
|=========================================================================|
| SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION |
|=========================================================================|
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: General ventilation usually adequate.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: None normally required under general ventilation.
SKIN PROTECTION: Clean clothing to cover skin. 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.
