Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SWALLOWED
For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor.
路 If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.
路 If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if
possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.

(Stearates (a) (d))
MATERIAL DATA
The stearates have a low order of acute and chronic toxicity. Intratracheal
administration of relatively large doses in rats produce varying degrees of pulmonary
damage. Acute, gross inhalation exposure has been associated with clinical pneumonitis. A
case of "pneumoconiosis with probable heart failure" has been reported in a rubber worker
occupationally exposed to zinc stearate dust for 29 years. Several cases of infants
developing respiratory distress and in some instances, acute fatal pneumonitis on
aspiration of zinc stearate powder, have been reported.

restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a
review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account
of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal
and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure,
begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens
should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be
removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC
NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].
HANDS/FEET
Wear general protective gloves: i.e. Disposable polythene gloves or Cotton gloves or
Light weight rubber gloves, with Barrier cream preferably Safety footwear.
When handling hot material, wear. Protective gloves eg. Leather gloves or gloves with

ENGINEERING CONTROLS
None required when handling small quantities.
OTHERWISE: 路 Local exhaust ventilation is required where solids are handled as powders or
crystals; even when particulates are relatively large, a certain proportion will be
powdered by mutual friction
路 Exhaust ventilation should be designed to prevent accumulation and recirculation of
particulates in the workplace.
路 If in spite of local exhaust an adverse concentration of the substance in air could
occur, respiratory protection should be considered. Such protection might consist of:
(a): particle dust respirators, if necessary, combined with an absorption cartridge;
(b): filter respirators with absorption cartridge or canister of the right type;
(c): fresh-air hoods or masks
路 Build-up of electrostatic charge on the dust particle, may be prevented by bonding and
grounding.
路 Powder handling equipment such as dust collectors, dryers and mills may require
additional protection measures such as explosion venting.
Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities which, in
turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air required to efficiently
remove the contaminant.
Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:
direct spray, spray painting in shallow booths, 1- 2.5 m/s (200- 500 f/min.)

rapid air motion)
grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, high 2.5- 10 m/s (500- 2000 f/min.)
speed wheel generated dusts (released at high
initial velocity into zone of very high rapid
air motion).
Within each range the appropriate value depends on:
Lower end of the range Upper end of the range
1: Room air currents minimal or favourable to 1: Disturbing room air currents

value only
3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use
4: Large hood or large air mass in motion 4: Small hood- local control only
Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the opening
of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the square of distance
from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the air speed at the extraction
point should be adjusted, accordingly, after reference to distance from the contaminating
source. The air velocity at the extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 4-10
m/s (800-2000 f/min) for extraction of crusher dusts generated 2 metres distant from the
extraction point. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits within
the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are
multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed or used.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Use in food, and as food additive indicates high degree of tolerance.

swallowed in large quantity.
Nonionic surfactants may produce localised irritation of the oral or gastrointestinal
lining and induce vomiting and mild diarrhoea.
EYE
The material may be mildly discomforting to the eyes and is capable of causing a mild,
temporary redness of the conjunctiva (similar to wind-burn), temporary impairment of
vision and/ or other transient eye damage/ ulceration.
Nonionic surfactants may produce localised irritation of the oral or gastrointestinal
lining and induce vomiting and mild diarrhoea.
SKIN
The material is. non-irritating to the skin.
Molten material is. capable of causing thermal burns.
INHALED

Principal routes of exposure are usually by skin contact with the molten material and
inhalation of vapour from heated material.
As with any chemical product, contact with unprotected bare skin; inhalation of vapour,
mist or dust in work place atmosphere; or ingestion in any form, should be avoided by
observing good occupational work practice.
