Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If breathing becomes difficult, give oxygen (To be administered by qualified medical personnel
only!) If breathing stops, perform artificial respiration. Seek medical attention.
Ingestion: If victim is conscious and alert, give large quantities of water. (Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person!) DO NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lower the head so that the vomit will not re-enter the mouth and throat.
Seek medical attention.
Skin: Wash with soap and water. If irritation occurs, seek medical attention.
Eyes: Rinse with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention. DO NOT use an eye ointment.
Convulsions: Do not restrain the victim, but do remove objects with which they might injure themselves; or, orient the victim to
prevent them from striking fixed heavy objects. If the convulsions cease, turn the victim on their side or face down, so that any
fluid in the mouth can drain.
Other Health Warnings:
V. Fire Fighting Measures:
Flash Point: NE Lower Explosive Limit: NE Upper Explosive Limit: NE
F.P. Method:
Fire Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, sand, graphite
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Cool containers with water jet in order to prevent pressure
build-up, autoignition, or explosion.
Unusual Fire and Explosion:
Can pose dust explosion hazard if dispersed in air.
"Empty" containers may contain product residue and may be dangerous. Empty containers should be completely drained and
bunged and then disposed of according to local, state, and federal regulations.
VI. Accidental Release Measures:
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled:
Wear dust respirator, safety goggles, and rubber gloves. Sweep up and place in bag or vacuum up with proper filter equipped
instrument. Avoid creating dust. Ventilate and wash spill site after collecting solid. Dispose according to local, state, and federal
regulations.
VII. Handling and Storage:
Precautions to be Taken:
Keep in tightly closed container. Keep cool and dry. Avoid all ignition sources (heat, open flame, spark). Avoid incompatible
materials. Ground all equipment containing material. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Avoid dust generation and accumulation.
Avoid ingestion and inhalation of dust. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Other Precautions:
DO NOT wear contact lenses while using this product.
"Empty" containers may contain product residue and may be dangerous. Empty containers should be completely drained and
bunged and then disposed of according to local, state, and federal regulations.

X. Stability and Reactivity:
Stability:
Normally stable
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid):
Pure oxygen, strong oxidizers, ignition sources (heat, open flame, spark)
Decomposition/By Products:
Carbon monoxide and dioxide, nitrous oxides, hydrogen chloride, sulfur oxides
Hazardous Polymerization:
Will not occur.
XI. Toxicological Information:
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. The TLV is set to protect against siderosis.
Horizon blue T pigment contains less than 0.1% free formaldehyde and may be capable of outgassing formaldehyde at levels in
excess of OSHA's action level under some conditions of use. Formaldehyde is a potential cancer hazard.
Phthalocyanine blue may contain up to 25 ppm polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's). PCB's are a potential cancer hazard.
XII. Ecological Information:
Prevent from entering sewers or waterways. May be toxic to some aquatic life.
XIII. Disposal Considerations:
Dispose according to local, state, and federal regulations.

XIV. Transport Information:
Keep in tightly closed container. Keep cool and dry. Avoid all ignition sources (heat, open flame, spark). Avoid incompatible
materials. Ground all equipment containing material. Avoid dust generation and accumulation. Avoid ingestion and inhalation of
dust. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash thoroughly after handling.
XV. Regulatory Information:
Phthalocyanine blue and horizon blue T pigment are listed on the TSCA inventory.
Phthalocyanine blue is in full compliance with Section 6(e) of TSCA, 15 USC, 2605(e) regarding inadvertently generated
