Cadmium and cadmium compounds are listed in the Annual NTP Report as carcinogenic to
animals, but with only limited evidence of carcinogenicity to humans. This information is
based on test results for cadmium compounds other than pigment forms.
Although certain cadmium compounds are known to cause kidney damage in humans and has
been shown to cause lung cancer in laboratory animals, no chronic health effects have been
shown to result from exposure to cadmium pigments. Cadmium pigments have been shown to
be significantly less biologically available and less active than other cadmium compounds.
The product contains zirconium silicate that contains trace quantities of naturally occurring
radioactive uranium and thorium. Inhalation of respirable dust may cause lung cancer.
SWALLOWED: Not a likely route of entry, but should it occur, may
cause stomach discomfort, diarrhoea and nausea.
EYE: Dust or powder may irritate eye tissue. Rubbing may
cause abrasion of cornea.
SKIN: Prolonged or repeated contact may cause dermatitis and
skin granulomas.
INHALED: Dust or powder of this material may cause irritation of the
nose, throat, and respiratory tract. Lungs may be affected
by repeated or prolonged exposure to the dust or powder
of this material.
FIRST AID:
SWALLOWED: Rinse mouth with water and drink plenty of water. Do not
induce vomiting. Seek medical attention.
EYE: Irrigate with copious amounts of water for at least 15
minutes. Do not rub eyes. Seek medical attention if
irritation persists.
SKIN: Wash thoroughly with soap and water. Remove
contaminated clothing and wash before re-use. If irritation
occurs, seek medical attention.
INHALED: Remove victim immediately from exposure. If breathing
has stopped, apply artificial respiration. Seek medical
attention.
ADVICE TO DOCTOR:
Treat symptomatically.

COMPONENT CARCINOGENICITY
Cadmium sulphide (1306-23-6)
German DFG Category 2 (considered to be carcinogenic for man);
(Listed under Cadmium and its compounds)
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE:
EXPOSURE STANDARDS:
Exposure Standards (air)
CAS#: 1306-23-6 Cadmium Sulphide
United Kingdom 0.03mg/m3 TWA (respirable dust as
Cd)
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Ventilation should effectively remove and prevent build-up of any dust generated from the
handling of this product. Local exhaust ventilation is recommended when generating excessive
levels of airborne dust or vapours from handling or thermal processing. Use explosion-proof
equipment if high dust/air concentrations are possible.
PERSONAL PROTECTION:
PERSONAL PROTECTION GUIDE: COTTON OVERALLS, GLOVES &
GLASSES. Avoid eye contact and repeated or prolonged skin contact. Wear overalls,
safety glasses and impervious gloves If ventilation is not sufficient to effectively
prevent build-up of dusts, appropriate NIOSH/MSHA respiratory protection must be
provided. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet.
FLAMMABILITY:
Flash Point: NA
Method Used: NA
Flammability Classification: NA
ENVIRONMENT:
Avoid contamination of natural waterways. Rather, cleaning of brushes and disposal
should occur into settling tank for appropriate disposal and treatment.
In the food chain important to humans, bioaccumulation of cadmium compounds take
place, specifically in crustacea and plants. It is strongly recommended not to let the
material enter into the environment because cadmium sulfide persists in the
environment for a very long time.
SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION:
STORAGE:
Keep container dry. Store away from excessive heat and away from strong oxidizing
agents, strong acids, food and feedstuffs. Keep container tightly closed to prevent
contamination.
HANDLING:
Remove all ignition sources from material handling, transfer, and processing areas
where dust may be present. Local exhaust ventilation should be provided in work
areas. Ensure that airborne dust concentrations are controlled within regulatory dust
standards.
TRANSPORT:
Not a hazardous material for transportation.

IMDG Class: None
Air transport ICAO-TI and IATA-DGR:
ICAO/IATA Class: None
SPILLS & DISPOSAL:
Sweep spilled substance into containers and if appropriate, moisten first to minimize
or prevent dusting and the generation of airborne particulates, then move to a safe
place. Do not let the spilled substance enter the environment. Avoid the generation of
dust during clean-up. Collect dust or powder using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA
filter. Evacuate the area promptly and keep upwind of the spilled material. Isolate
the spill area to prevent people from entering.
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD:
HAZARDS OF USE/STORAGE:
Dust accumulation from this product may present an explosion hazard in the presence
of an ignition source.
DANGEROUS DECOMPOSITION/COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:
Product is not considered combustible. Toxic and irritating fumes are given off of
unknown composition if burned. If the substance is heated, it will decompose
producing toxic and irritating fumes, including sulfur oxides which will react with
strong oxidants and reacts with acids forming toxic gas (hydrogen sulfide).
PERSONAL PROTECTION:
Wear a NIOSH approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and
fire fighter turnout gear.
REACTIVITY:
Chemical Stability
This is a stable material.
Chemical Stability: Conditions to Avoid
Avoid contact with strong oxidizers, acids, excessive heat, sparks or open
flame or dust accumulation.
Incompatibility
Strong oxidizing agents, acids, and heat.
Hazardous Decomposition
Sulphur oxides, hydrogen sulphide and metal oxide fume.
Hazardous Polymerization
Will not occur.
FIRE EXTINGUISHING AGENTS:
Carbon dioxide, extinguishing powder or water spray. Fight larger fires with water
spray or alcohol resistant foam.
