INORGANIC PIGMENTS

LD50 LC50 Mixture:NONE
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:NO Skin:NO Ingestion:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:NONE
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:OVERHEATING (OVER 260 C/500 F), BURNING,
GRINDING, MELTING, CUTTING, OR ANY OTHER PROCESS THAT CAUSES A
RELEASE OF DUST, FUME OR GAS MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF THE EYES,
SKIN, RESPIRATORY TRACT OR "POLYM ER FUME FEVER". POLYMER FUME
FEVER IS A TEMPORARY FLU-LIKE ILLNESS WITH FEVER, CHILLS, AND
SOMETIMES COUGH, OF APPROXIMATELY 24 HOURS DURATION. INHALATION OF
LOW CONCENTRATIONS OF HYDROGEN FLUORIDE, C ARBONYL FLUORIDE AND
OTHER THERMAL DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS MAY RESULT IN TEMPORARY LUN
IRRITATION, DIFFICULTY BREATHING, OR SHORTNESS OF BREATH. SMOKERS
SHOULD AVOID CONTAMINATED TOBACCO PRODUCTS, AND SHOULD WASH THEIR
HANDS BEFORE SMOKING.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INDIVIDUALS WITH PRE-EXISTING
DISEASES OF THE LUNGS MAY HAVE INCREASED SUSCEPTIBILITY TO DUST OR
THERMAL DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS.

First Aid:INHALATION:IF INHALATION OF THERMAL DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS OR
DUST PRODUCES RESPIRATORY DIFFICULTY, OR IRRITATION, MOVE EXPOSED
PERSON TO FRESH AIR AT ONCE. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN IF SYMPTOMS
PERSIST. SK IN CONTACT: IF MOLTEN MATERIAL GETS ON SKIN, COOL
RAPIDLY WITH COLD WATER. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE MATERIAL FROM
SKIN. OBTAIN MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR THERMAL BURNS. EYE CONTACT:
IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
MINUTES, OCCASIONALLY LIFTING THE LOWER AND UPPER LIDS. GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION IF ANY DISCOMFORT CONTINUES. INGESTION: CONSULT A
PHYSICIAN.

Flash Point Method:CC
Flash Point:NONE
Autoignition Temp:Autoignition Temp Text:NONE
Lower Limits:NONE
Upper Limits:NONE
Extinguishing Media:DRY CHEMICAL, CO2, WATER OR REGULAR FOAM. USE
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:KEEP PERSONNEL REMOVED FROM AND UPWIND OF
FIRE. FULL EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT WITH SELF CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS AND FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING SHOULD BE WORN. HYDROGEN
FLUORIDE FUMES EMITTED DURING A F IRE CAN REACT WITH WATER TO FORM
HYDROFLUORIC ACID. WEAR NEOPRENE GLOVES WHEN HANDLING REFUSE FROM
FIRE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:HAZARDOUS GASES/VAPORS PRODUCED IN FIRE
ARE HYDROGEN FLUORIDE (HF), CARBONYL FLUORIDE, CARBON MONOXIDE,
CARBON DIOXIDE, AND LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT FLUOROCARBONS.

Spill Release Procedures:SPILLED MATERIAL MAY PRESENT A SLIPPING
HAZARD. COLLECT BY SWEEPING OR VACUUMING ANY LOOSE MATERIAL TO
PREVENT ACCUMULATION OF PRODUCT.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE

Handling and Storage Precautions:AVOID BREATHING DUST OR DECOMPOSITION
PRODUCTS. AVOID CONTAMINATION OF CIGARCTTES OR TOBACCO WITH DUST
FROM THIS MATERIAL. STORE IN A DRY AREA.
Other Precautions:NONE

Respiratory Protection:IS NOT NORMALLY REQUIRED UNDER ANTICIPATED
CONDITIONS OF USE. IF RESPIRATORS ARE NECESSARY, USE ONLY
NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATORS.
Ventilation:USE LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION WHEN HEATING OR MELTING
MATERIAL. EXHAUST VENTILATION SHOULD BE PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
GUIDELINES.
Protective Gloves:NONE
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES SHOULD BE WORN.
Other Protective Equipment:NONE REQUIRED UNLESS NECESSARY FOR
PROTECTION FROM THERMAL BURNS OR DUST PARTICLES.

TAPE.

Stability Indicator/Materials to Avoid:YES
MOLTEN ALKALI METALS, STRONG OXIDIZERS, STRONG ACIDS AND SOME REACTIVE
INTERHALOGEN COMPOUNDS.
Stability Condition to Avoid:HEATING ABOVE 300 C (572 F.) ABNORMALLY
LONG PROCESSING TIME OR HIGH TEMPERATURES CAN PRODUCE IRRITATING
AND TOXIC FUMES.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:TRACE AMOUNTS OF HYDROGEN FLUORIDE AND
CARBONYL FLUORIDE MAY BE EVOLVED AT ABOUT 400 C(750 F.), WITH
LARGER AMOUNTS AT HIGHER TEMPERATURES, CARBON MONOXIDE AND CARBON
DIOXIDE.

Waste Disposal Methods:PREFERRED OPTIONS FOR DISPOSAL ARE 1) RECYCLING
AND 2) LANDFILL. INCINERATE ONLY IF INCINERATOR IS CAPABLE OF
SCRUBBING OUT HYDROGEN FLUORIDE AND OTHER ACIDIC COMBUSTION
PRODUCTS. TREATMENT, STORAGE, TRANSPORTATION AND DISPOSAL SHOULD
BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE/PROVINCIAL, AND L
OCAL REGULATIONS.
