Material Safety Data Sheet
3.0 Hazard Identification
The preparation is not classified according to EU Directive 1999/45/EC, and as amended.
Routes of Exposure Inhalation, Ingestion, skin and eyes.
Acute Health Hazards
Inhalation: Respiratory tract irritation may occur with exposure to large
amounts of dust.
Ingestion: Low acute toxicity. Ingestion is a minor route of entry for
intended use of this product.
Skin: Unlikely to cause skin irritation.
Eyes: May cause transient slight irritation.
Chronic Health Hazards Prolonged inhalation of excessive amounts of any dust
may cause lung damage. Use of this product as intended
does not result in inhalation of excessive amounts of dust.
Carcinogenicity Carbon Black is listed as a Class 2B (Possible Human
Carcinogen) by IARC. Refer also to section 11.
4.0 First Aid Measures
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air immediately. If symptoms
occur, consult a physician.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth out with water. Drink one to two
glasses of water. If symptoms occur, consult a
physician immediately.
Skin: Wash affected areas with soap and water. If irritation
persists, consult a physician.
Eyes: Do not rub eyes. Immediately flush with large
amounts of clean, lukewarm water (low pressure) for
at least 5 minutes or until particles are removed. If
irritation persists, consult a physician.
5.0 Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing media CO2, water, dry chemical, foam.
Unsuitable Extinguishing None
Media
Special Firefighting None
Procedures
Unusual fire and explosion Like most organic material in powder form, toner can
hazards form explosive dust-air mixtures when finely
dispersed in air.
Auto-ignition temperature Not available
Flashpoint (method) Not applicable

Material Safety Data Sheet
Hazardous Combustion CO2, CO and smoke.
Products
Flammable limits LFL 20g/m3 in air
6.0 Accidental release measures
Spill or leak procedures Avoid breathing dust. Minimize the release of
particles. Slowly sweep the material into a bag or
other sealed container. Clean remainder with a
damp cloth or vacuum cleaner. If a vacuum is used,
the motor must be rated as dust explosion-proof.
Fine powder can form explosive dust-air mixtures.
Dispose of waste toner in accordance with local
requirements.
Environmental precautions Do not discharge into drains (See also Section 13,
Disposal Considerations).
7.0 Handling and Storage
Advice on safe handling and Keep material out of reach of children. Avoid
protection against fire inhalation of dust and contact with eyes. Use with
adequate ventilation. Keep away from excessive
heat, sparks, and open flames.
Requirements for storage Keep out of the reach of children. Keep container
rooms and advise on storage closed and store at room temperature. Keep away
compatibility from strong oxidizers.
