GRAPHITE (TYPE NOT SPECIFIED)

LD50 LC50 Mixture:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION OF THERMAL DECOMPOSITION
BY-PRODUCTS FROM PTFE ON SMOKING MATERIALS MAY CAUSE "POLYMER FUME
FEVER". MATERIALS ARE ESSENTIALLY INERT UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS,
HOWEVER, SMOKING AFTER HANDLING MAY CREATE CONDITIONS FOR "POLYMER
FUMEFEVER".
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT
Effects of Overexposure:"POLYMER FUME FEVER" MAY BE CAUSED BY INHALING
PTFE THERMAL DECOMPOSITION BY-PRODUCTS THAT MAY GET ON SMOKING
MATERIALS IF HANDS ARE NOT WASHED BEFORE HANDLING SMOKING MATERIALS
& THEN SMOKING. "POLYM ER FUME FEVER" HAS FLU-LIKE SYMPTOMS THAT
PASS OFF WITHOUT LASTING EFFECT WITHIN 36-48 HOURS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE KNOWN.

First Aid:INHAL:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR.SUPPORT BRTHG (GIVE O*2/ARTF
RESP),CALL MD . EYE:FLUSH W/POTABLE WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MIN .
SKIN:WASH W/COPIOUS AMTS OF WATER,CALL MD . INGEST:GET MD IMMED
IATELY . IN FIRE, TREAT EXPOSURE TO CONCENTRATED FUMES FOR HF EXPOS
IF IRRIT OCCURS. FOR POLYMER FUME FEVER, TREAT AS REQUIRED BY
SYMPTOM.

Flash Point Method:OC
Flash Point:610F,321C
Extinguishing Media:CARBON DIOXIDE, DRY CHEMICAL, FOAM, HALON, WATER.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED SCBA & FULL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT TO PROTECT AGAINST DECOMPOSITION GASES.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:IN FIRE, PTFE DOES NOT SUPPORT COMBUSTION
BUT THERMAL DECOMP PTFE BEGINS >600F & MAY EVOLVE HF,CO,CO*2 &
OTHER TOXIC GASES. DECOMP RATE IS VERY LOW (SUPP DATA)

Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

Handling and Storage Precautions:WASH HANDS AFTER HANDLING,ESPECIALLY
PRIOR TO SMOKING.
Other Precautions:DO NOT SMOKE/HANDLE SMOKING MATLS WHILE HNDLG PROD.
WASH HANDS FIRST. THERMAL DECOMP OF PTFE ON SMOKING MATLS MAY CAUSE
"POLYMER FUME FEVER". THESE YARNS & THEIR INGREDS ARE ESSENTIALLY
INERT IN ALL I NTENDED USES UP TO 600F. (ING 6)

Respiratory Protection:IN CASE OF FIRE, USE NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED SCBA TO
PREVENT EXPOSURE TO PRODUCTS OF THERMAL BREAKDOWN.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST IN A FIRE, IF FUMES CONCENTRATE, INCREASE
VENTILATION.
Protective Gloves:IMPERVIOUS GLOVES .
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL WORKERS GOGGLES .
Other Protective Equipment:AS REQ FOR PERS DURING INSTALLATION OF
REMOVAL BY LOCAL PLANT. CONSIDER PERS EXPOS TO SERVICE FLUID WHICH
MAY BE (ING 5)
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH HANDS AFTER HANDLING. DO NOT SMOKE WHEN
HANDLING. WASH HANDS BEFORE SMOKING.
Supplemental Safety and Health
EXPLO HAZ:<650F & INCREASES W/RISING TEMP BECOMING RAPID >800F. PTFE
WILL BURN IN O*2 ATM. DOES NOT EXPLODE. GRAPHITE PARTICLES HELD IN
PLACE BY PTFE FIBRILS WILL BE RELEASED IF PTFE DECOMPOSES. THESE
CAN SUPPORT COMBUSTION IF SUFFICIENTLYHIGH TEMPS PRESENT, OXIDIZING
THESE PARTICLES TO GENERATE CO & CO*2 GASES.
