MSDS ID 0800
PhibroPearl?br>
Inhalation
May cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract.
Eye
May cause irritation due to mechanical action.
Skin
May cause skin irritation.
Long term exposure to TiO2 may result in cancer based on animal studies. Long term
exposure studies by DuPont, a manufacturer of TiO2, do not show any evidence of cancer in
humans.
4. First Aid Information
Eye
Immediately flush with plenty of water. After initial flushing, remove any contact lenses and
continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Have eyes examined and tested by medical
personnel.
Skin
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention immediately. Thoroughly
wash (or discard) clothing and shoes before reuse.
Inhalation
Rescuers should put on appropriate protective gear. Remove from area of exposure. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Keep victim warm.
Get immediate medical attention.
Ingestion
If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give victim a glass of water or milk. Call a physician or
poison control center immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Flammable Properties
This material is not considered a fire hazard.
Extinguishing Media
Use alcohol foam, carbon dioxide, or water spray when fighting fires involving this material.
Fire fighting instructions
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH
(approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. Water runoff can cause environmental
damage. Dike and collect water used to fight fire.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Clean-up
Ventilate and evacuate area. Vacuum or sweep up material and place in a disposal

container. Avoid dusting. Absorb spill with inert material (e.g., dry sand or earth), then place
in a chemical waste container. Do not flush to sewer.
7. Handling and Storage
Handling
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing (dust, vapor,
mist, gas). Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
Storage
Store in a cool place in original container and protect from sunlight. Store away from
incompatible materials. Keep container closed when not in use. Keep away from food and
drinking water.
8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
Engineering controls
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a
safety shower. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary to control any air contaminants to
within their TLVs during the use of this product.
Respirators
A NIOSH-approved air purifying respirator with the appropriate cartridge or canister for the
hazards may be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are
expected to exceed exposure limits. Protection provided by air purifying respirators is limited.
Use a positive-pressure air-supplied respirator if there is any potential for an uncontrolled
release, exposure levels are not known, or any other circumstances where air-purifying
respirators may not provide adequate protection.
Other clothing
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) and a face shield. Use gloves, and other
body coverings, recommended for this material by manufacturers or suppliers based on test
data showing adequate permeation and penetration resistance.
