SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Threshold Limit Value:
0.2 MG/M3 (1&3)
Effects of Overexposure:
-Acute(Short Term Exposure)
EYE CONTACT: CORROSIVE. CAUSES BURNS, CORNEAL DAMAGE, AND POSSIBLE BLINDNESS.
SKIN CONTACT: CORROSIVE. CAUSES BURNS AND POSSIBLE DEEP ULCERATIONS OR SCARRING. MAY
CAUSE ALLERGIC SKIN REACTION SEEN AS DELAYED SKIN RASH WHICH MAY BE FOLLOWED BY
BLISTERING, SCALING, AND OTHER SKIN EFFECTS.
INHALATION: DUST CAUSES SEVERE IRRITATION TO THE LUNGS WITH COUGHING, SNEEZING, CHEST
PAIN, POTENTIAL TISSUE DAMAGE, AND SYSTEMIC ABSORPTION.
INGESTION: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION WITH POSSIBLE NAUSEA, VOMITING, AND DIARRHEA. MAY CAUSE
BURNS TO THE MOUTH, THROAT, ESOPHAGUS, AND STOMACH. SYMPTOMS MAY INCLUDE VOMITING OF
BLOOD. BLOOD LOSS THROUGH DAMAGED TISSUE CAN LEAD TO LOW BLOOD PRESSURE, SHOCK, AND MAY
BE FATAL.
-Chronic (Long Term Exposure)
MAY CAUSE SKIN SENSITIZATION IN SOME INDIVIDUALS. CHRONIC SKIN CONTACT MAY PROMOTE
DERMATITIS AND OIL ACNE.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE ARE PRE-EXISTING RESPIRATORY AND SKIN
CONDITIONS SUCH AS ASTHMA, EMPHYSEMA, AND DERMATITIS.

file:///C|/My Documents/MSDS--CB-3939.txt
TARGET ORGANS: BLOOD-FORMING ORGANS AND LUNGS. THE PRIMARY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE ARE SKIN
AND EYE CONTACT.
Primary Routes of Entry: Inhalation: X Ingestion: Absorption: X
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
-Inhalation:
IF DUST IS INHALED, REMOVE FROM THE AREA TO FRESH AIR. HAVE THE PERSON BLOW THEIR NOSE TO
REMOVE THE SUBSTANCE FROM THE NASAL PASSAGES AND KEEP FROM INHALING FURTHER. IF NOT
BREATHING, CLEAR THE AIRWAY AND START MOUTH-TO-MOUTH ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. GET
IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
-Eye Contact:
IMMEDIATELY RINSE THE EYES WITH WATER. REMOVE ANY CONTACT LENSES AND CONTINUE FLUSHING
FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. HOLD THE EYELIDS APART TO ENSURE RINSING OF THE ENTIRE SURFACE
OF THE EYES AND LIDS WITH WATER. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
-Skin Contact:
IMMEDIATELY WIPE AWAY MATERIAL WITH A CLOTH WHILE REMOVING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND
SHOES. WASH THOROUGHLY WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF SOAP AND WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. GET
IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. DISCARD OR CLEAN CLOTHING AND SHOES.
-Ingestion:
GIVE 3 TO 4 GLASSES OF WATER, BUT DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IF VOMITING OCCURS, GIVE FLUIDS
AGAIN. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IF DISCOMFORT OCCURS.
-Notes to Physician:
THERE IS NO SPECIFIC ANTIDOTE. TREAT THE PATIENT SYMPTOMATICALLY. PROBABLE MUCOSAL DAMAGE
MAY CONTRAINDICATE THE USE OF GASTRIC LAVAGE.

file:///C|/My Documents/MSDS--CB-3939.txt
Steps to be Taken if Material is Released or Spilled:
ELIMINATE IGNITION SOURCES OF ELECTRICAL, STATIC, OR FRICTIONAL SPARKS. VENTILATE THE
CONTAMINATED AREA AND AVOID CREATING DUSTY CONDITIONS. WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING. TRANSFER SOLID USING NON-SPARKING EQUIPMENT INTO A PROPERLY LABELED CONTAINER
FOR REUSE OR DISPOSAL. IF NECESSARY WASH AREA WITH WATER AND PICK UP WASH WATER FOR
DISPOSAL. PREVENT PRODUCT FROM CONTAMINATING SOIL OR FROM ENTERING SEWAGE AND DRAINAGE
SYSTEMS AND BODIES OF WATER.
Waste Disposal Method(s):
DISPOSE OF IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL REGULATIONS.
Neutralizing Agent:
USE DILUTE, ALKALINE SODIUM BISULFITE OR THIOSULFATE SOLUTIONS. ADD CAUTIOUSLY WHILE
MIXING. WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
_____________________________________________________________________
SECTION IX - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
Required Ventilation:
LOCAL VENTILATION IS RECOMMENDED TO CONTROL EXPOSURE FROM OPERATIONS THAT CAN GENERATE
DUSTY CONDITIONS. LOCAL VENTILATION IS PREFERRED, BECAUSE IT PREVENTS DISPERSION INTO
WORK AREAS BY CONTROLLING IT AT ITS SOURCE.
Respiratory Protection:
WEAR A NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATOR WITH A DUST CARTRIDGE FILTER IF EXPOSURE CAN EXCEED
TLV/PEL. <10X PEL, USE AN N95 QUARTER OR HALF MASK RESPIRATOR; <50X PEL, USE A FULL FACE
RESPIRATOR EQUIPPED WITH N95 FILTERS; <200X PEL, USE A POWDERED AIR PURIFYING RESPIRATOR
(POSITIVE PRESSURE) WITH N95 FILTERS; >200X PEL, USE A FULL FACE, TYPE C SUPPLIED AIR
RESPIRATOR (CONTINUOUS FLOW MODE).
Glove Protection:
NEOPRENE OR NITRILE RUBBER GLOVES SHOULD BE WORN WHEN HANDLING. ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH
OSHA'S PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) STANDARD FOR HAND PROTECTION, 29 CFR 1910.138.
Eye Protection:
CHEMICAL GOGGLES AND A FACE SHIELD SHOULD BE WORN WHEN HANDLING. ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH
OSHA'S PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) STANDARD FOR EYE AND FACE PROTECTION, 29 CFR
1910.133.
Other Protection:
WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WHEN HANDLING. A SAFETY SHOWER AND AN EYEWASH STATION SHOULD BE
AVAILABLE.

Precautions to be taken in Handling and Storing:
ALWAYS STORE MATERIAL IN A COOL, DRY AREA IN ITS ORIGINAL CONTAINER. KEEP
CONTAINER TIGHTLY CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE. AVOID CREATING DUSTY CONDITIONS. SEAL BROKEN
CONTAINERS IMMEDIATELY. ALTHOUGH THE RISK OF A DUST EXPLOSION IS LOW, IMPLEMENT THE
FOLLOWING SAFETY MEASURES AS A PRECAUTION: 1) BOND, GROUND, AND PROPERLY VENT CONVEYORS,
DUST CONTROL DEVICES, AND OTHER TRANSFER EQUIPMENT; 2) ELIMINATE IGNITION SOURCES
(SPARKS, STATIC BUILDUP, EXCESSIVE HEAT); 3) PROHIBIT FLOW OF POWDER OR DUST THROUGH
NON-CONDUCTIVE DUCTS, VACUUM HOSES, OR PIPES, ETC.; ONLY USE GROUNDED, ELECTRICALLY
CONDUCTIVE TRANSFER LINES WHEN PNEUMATICALLY CONVEYING PRODUCT; 4) STAY BELOW THE MINIMUM
EXPLOSIVE CONCENTRATION BY PREVENTING ACCUMULATION OF DUST (USE WELL-VENTILATED
CONDITIONS, VACUUM SPILLS PROMPTLY, CLEAN OVERHEAD HORIZONTAL SURFACES); 5) EXERCISE CARE
WHEN EMPTYING CONTAINERS, SWEEPING, MIXING, OR DOING OTHER TASKS WHICH CAN CREATE DUST;
6) USE INERT GAS BLANKETING WHEN USE CONDITIONS OR PROCESSES WARRANT. EMPTY CONTAINERS
MAY CONTAIN PRODUCT RESIDUES WHICH MAY EXHIBIT THE HAZARDS OF THE PRODUCT. TO AVOID
