SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EFFECTS OF EXCESSIVE OVEREXPOSURE. PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY ARE:
EYE CONTACT:
A slight irritant based on animal testing of a similar product.
SKIN CONTACT:
A moderate irritant based on animal testing of a similar product. May cause redness and drying of
skin. The product contains a component which is not a skin sensitizer but may cause fatigue based on
animal testing.
INHALATION:
Possibly irritating.
INGETSION:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
GENERAL: (NOTE: See SECTION 2 For INGREDIENTS)
Some pigments contain titanium dioxide. High concentrations of titanium dioxide dust caused
microscopic lung tumors in rats in lifetime inhalation studies. However, DuPont, the primary US
manufacturer, based on a review of the test data and based on an epidemiological study of employees,
concludes that titanium dioxide pigment will not cause chronic respiratory disease in humans at
concentrations experienced in the workplace.
Some pigments contain carbon black. Some studies have linked exposure of carbon black dust to
lung effects. IARC classifies carbon black as a Category 2B Carcinogen (known animal carcinogen,
possible human carcinogen) based on inhalation studies. However, the manufacturers of carbon
black state that epidemiologic studies of workers in the carbon black industry in the U.S. and W.
Europe show no significant adverse health effects due to occupational exposure. Because this product
is a free-flowing liquid or paste, dust
inhalation is not an expected route of exposure.
Some pigments contain Lead and/or Lead compounds. Lead and Lead compounds are cumulative
poisons; blood levels can increase with repeated exposure causing blood, kidney, liver, reproductive,
developmental and nervous system effects. Symptoms may include abdominal discomfort or pain,
Page 2 of 7
nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite, dizziness, lassitude, lack of coordination and insomnia. Lead
chromate is listed as a suspect human carcinogen by IARC (Group 2B). However, recent toxicity
data indicate that Lead chromate pigments are non-carcinogenic or at least show extremely low
carcinogenic potential based on lung implantation studies on rats. Furthermore, Lead chromate
pigments do not show an increase in lung cancer rates according to epidemiological studies of
workers in factories that produce only Lead chromate pigments.
Some pigments contain iron oxide. Prolonged inhalation of iron oxide dust is known to produce a
condition known as siderosis. On X-rays it appears to be a benign pneumoconiosis and is not
associated with pulmonary fibrosis or disability unless there is concurrent exposure to other fibrosis
producing materials such as silica. Because this product is a free-flowing liquid or paste, dust
inhalation is not an expected route of exposure.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 4 鈥? FIRST AID MEASURES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRST AID
EYE CONTACT:
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. Obtain medical attention if irritation
develops.
SKIN CONTACT:
Remove contaminated clothing/shoes. Flush skin with water. Follow by washing with soap and
water. If symptoms develop or persist, obtain medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse.
INHALATION:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If unconscious, evaluate the
need for artificial respiration. Get immediate medical attention.
INGESTION:
If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Have victim drink 8-10 ounces of water to dilute material in
stomach. Get medical attention immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person.

or equivalent) and full protective gear. Containers can build up pressure if exposed to heat (fire).
Cool with water spray.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 6 鈥? ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
Ventilate area. Use personal protective equipment as described in Section 8. Absorb spill with inert
material and place in a chemical waste container. Obey relevant local, state, provincial and federal
laws and regulations. Do not contaminate any lakes, streams, ponds, groundwater, or soil.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 7 鈥? HANDLING AND STORAGE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HANDLING:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Follow all MSDS/label precautions even after container is emptied
because it may retain product residues. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.
STORAGE:
Store in a cool, dry place. Keep container closed when not in use.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN - FOR INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 8 鈥? EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Use adequate ventilation.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 or applicable
federal/provincial requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant respirator
use. NIOSH's "Respirator Decision Logic" may be useful in determining the suitability of various
types of respirators.
EYE PROTECTION:
Use chemical splash goggles.
SKIN PROTECTION:
Use impermeable gloves.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
A safety shower and eye wash fountain should be readily available. To identify additional Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) requirements, it is recommended that a hazard assessment in accordance
with the OSHA PPE Standard (29CFR1910.132) be conducted before using this product.

SECTION 13 鈥? DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISPOSAL METHOD:
Waste must be disposed of in accordance with federal, state, provincial and local regulations.
CONTAINER DISPOSAL:
Empty the containers by removing the top and inverting to allow all free flowing product to drain. To
meet regulatory criteria, the container is considered empty when less than 3% remains in the
container. Additional special handling is not typically required and the empty container can be
discarded with other non-hazardous trash.
Note: Local disposal regulations may be more stringent and require additional restrictions or
precautions. Customers should check with their local disposal company, municipal or state authority.
Recycle of plastic or metal containers may require clean rather than empty containers. In this case
the containers can be rinsed with water until the containers are considered generally product free.
