3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
PRINCIPLE ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: Inhalation, ingestion and dermal.
The key immediate hazards are:
Combustible liquid
Skin, eye, and respiratory irritant
May cause allergic skin and respiratory reactions.
Effects from Acute Exposure:
Causes eye irritation.
EYE CONTACT :
May cause an allergic skin reaction.
SKIN CONTACT:
May cause an allergic respiratory reaction.
INHALATION:
May be harmful if swallowed.
INGESTION:
AGGRAVATED MEDICAL CONDITIONS:
Allergic skin and respiratory reactions.
Effects from Chronic Exposure:
CARCINOGENIC INGREDIENTS:
Nickel and certain nickel compounds: There is sufficient evidence of the carcinogenicity of nickel and nickel
compounds (NTP-1985) also, (IARC 1976, vol. 11) states there is sufficient evidence for the carcinogenicity of
certain nickel compounds. Nickel subsulfide is carcinogenic in rats by inhalation, producing lung cancer.
Nickel compounds (nickel powder, subsulfide, oxide, carbonate, and nickelocene) produced local sarcomas in
mice, rats and hamsters when given intramuscularly. Inhalation of nickel carbonyl produced a low incidence of
lung tumors in rats.
OVEREXPOSURE EFFECTS:
CONTAINS CHROMIUM (III) COMPOUNDS:
Compounds of chromium, in its trivalent state, have no established toxicity. Skin contact has been reported to
cause skin irritation. Allergic skin reactions may occur in sensitive individuals, although it is believed that the
hexavalent (VI) form of chromium is responsible for most of the reported cases.
CONTAINS IRON OXIDE (AS REACTED INTO THE PIGMENT):
Long-term inhalation of iron oxide dust may lead to siderosis or iron deposition in the lung. This is not
considered to be a hazardous condition.
CONTAINS MANGANESE COMPOUNDS:
Manganese compounds are not considered toxic by ingestion or skin contact. Chronic overexposure to
manganese and its compounds, such as manganese oxide, is potentially hazardous due to effects on the
central nervous system. This occupational disease called "manganism" has been identified as occurring at
levels well above the current recommended exposure limit.

PRODUCT TRADE NAME: LMP500 Pad Printing Ink
CONTAINS NICKEL COMPOUNDS:
Nickel overexposure can cause allergic skin reactions and asthma. Inhalation can cause effects on the lungs
such as bronchitis, emphysema, and impaired function, as well as kidney damage. Swallowing can result in
nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal cramps. Chronic overexposure during nickel production has been
shown to cause lung and nasal cavity cancers in workers; these effects are directly related to the degree of
exposure. The compounds associated with the production environment included metallic nickel, nickel oxides
and nickel sulfides. Workplaces other than those involved with mining, refining, and alloy manufacture have
not been studied.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
INGESTION: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth and get immediate medical attention. Do not
give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person.
SKIN: For skin contact, wash affected areas with plenty of water, and soap if available, for several minutes.
Get medical attention if irritation occurs.
INHALATION: If inhaled, remove from area to fresh air. Get medical attention if respiratory irritation develops or
if breathing becomes difficult.
EYES: For eye contact, immediately flush eyes for at least 15 minutes with running water. Hold eyelids apart to
ensure rinsing of the entire eye surface and lids with water. Get immediate medical attention if irritation
develops.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: None specified.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
OSHA FLAMMABILITY CLASS: COMBUSTIBLE
FLASH POINT: >100?F ; <140?F
Flashpoint Method: Pensky-Martin Closed Cup or Grabner Mini-flash
Lower Explosive Limit: Not Available
Upper Explosive Limit: Not Available
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Fire-Fighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective
clothing when fighting chemical fires.
Use water spray to cool nearby containers and structures exposed to fire.
UNUSUAL HAZARDS: Decomposition and combustion products may be toxic.

PRODUCT TRADE NAME: LMP500 Pad Printing Ink
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SPILL PROCEDURES: Wear appropriate protective equipment. Avoid the generation of dust. Collect material
and place in closable container(s) for disposal.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.
NOTES ON HANDLING INFORMATION: Minimize dust generation during handling. Use adequate ventilation.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
VENTILATION: Adequate ventilation should be provided to keep concentrations below acceptable Exposure
Limits. Discharge from the ventilation system should comply with the applicable air pollution control
regulations.
EYE PROTECTION: Wear safety glasses or goggles to protect against exposure.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Use gloves as a standard industrial handling procedure.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Appropriate respiratory protection is required when exposure to airborne
contaminant is likely to exceed acceptable limits. Respirators should be selected and used in accordance with
OSHA Subpart I (29 CFR 1910.134) and manufacturer's recommendations.
OTHER PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: None specified.
