Contains material which may be mutagenic. Contains material which may cause nervous system, liver or kidney damage.
***POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS***
Target organs: Eyes, skin, respiratory system, digestive system, central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, liver,
kidneys, heart, and blood system.
Routes of exposure: Skin contact, eye contact, ingestion and inhalation.
Signs and symptoms of short-term (acute) exposure:
Inhalation: Inhalation of dust or fumes may cause irritation to the upper respiratory tract. In rare cases, inhalation of
higher concentrations may cause headache, fatigue, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Skin: Direct contact with dusts may cause irritation.
Eyes: Dusts may cause irritation as a foreign body.
Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal discomfort, including nausea, cramping, vomiting and diarrhea.
Chronic effects: Repeated or prolonged skin exposure to dusts may result in drying, cracking and defatting of the skin
(dermatitis). Prolonged or excessive overexposure to dusts or fumes may cause damage to the central and peripheral
nervous systems, liver, kidneys, heart and blood system.
Conditions aggravated by exposure: Pre-existing skin, eye and respiratory disorders.

static discharge.
Oxidizing properties: None known.
Suitable extinguishing media: Use media suitable for surrounding fire such as dry chemical, carbon dioxide or water fog.
Special fire-fighting procedures/equipment: Do not enter fire area without proper protection. Firefighters should wear
proper protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece. Shield personnel to protect from
venting, rupturing or bursting containers. Move containers from fire area if it can be done without risk. Water spray may
be useful in cooling equipment exposed to heat and flame.
Hazardous combustion products: Lead oxide fumes, antimony oxide and other toxic or irritating fumes and smoke.
SECTION 6 -- ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions: Restrict access to area until completion of clean-up. Ensure clean-up is conducted by trained personnel
only. All persons dealing with clean-up should wear the appropriate chemically protective equipment. Keep all other
personnel upwind and away from the spill/release. Refer to Section 8, EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL
PROTECTION, for additional information on acceptable personal protective equipment.
Environmental precautions: Ensure the product does not enter drains, sewers, waterways or confined spaces.
Spill response/Cleanup: Eliminate all sources of heat, sparks and flame. Ventilate area of release. Stop leak if you can do so
without risk. Notify the appropriate authorities as required.
Prohibited materials: None known.
Special spill response procedures: In case of a transportation accident, contact CHEMTREC at 1-800-424-9300 or
International at 1-703-527-3887. If a spill/release in excess of EPA reportable quantity is made into the environment,
immediately notify the national response center in the United States (phone: 1-800-424-8002).
DOT/CERCLA Reportable quantity (RQ): Lead (10 lbs); Antimony (5000 lbs)
SECTION 7 -- HANDLING AND STORAGE
Safe handling procedures: This material is a potential carcinogen, teratogen and mutagen. Wear protective equipment during
handling. Use in a well-ventilated area. Do not inhale dusts or fumes. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Keep
away from heat, sparks and flame. Keep away from acids and incompatibles. Do not puncture or incinerate containers.
Keep away from incompatibles (see Section 10). Use caution when opening cap. Keep container tightly closed when not
in use. Assume empty containers contain residues, which are hazardous.
Storage requirements: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from sources of heat and ignition. Keep away from
incompatibles (see Section 10). Storage area should be clearly identified, clear of obstruction and accessible only to
trained and authorized personnel. Inspect periodically for damage or leaks. No smoking in the area.
Special packaging materials: Always keep in containers made of the same materials as the supply container.

SECTION 8 -- EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION
Ventilation and engineering controls: Use adequate ventilation to maintain air contaminants below exposure limits. Local
and/or general exhaust may be required
Respiratory protection: Respiratory protection is required if the airborne concentration exceeds exposure limits. When
concentrations exceed the exposure limits specified, use NIOSH/MSHA-approved air-purifying respirators. In poorly
ventilated or confined spaces, use a NIOSH/MSHA-approved self-contained breathing apparatus. Advice should be
sought from respiratory protection specialists.
Skin protection and other protective equipment: It is recommended that protective gloves impervious to the material be
worn at all times during use. Confirmation of what type of material is most suitable for the intended application should be
obtained from glove suppliers. Additional impervious protective clothing is recommended to prevent skin contact. An
eyewash station and safety shower should be made available in the immediate working area.
Eye / face protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields or goggles meting ANSI requirements.
General hygiene considerations: Do not inhale dusts or fumes. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do not eat, drink or smoke
when working. Upon completion of work, wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking or use of toilet facilities.
