SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Primary Route(s) of Entry: Threshold Limit Value: None Established
[ ] Ingestion [X] Dermal [X] Inhalation [X] Eye
Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic Overexposure):
Acute: This product has a reportable acute oral LD(50) value of 5gm/KG or greater in rats. Not altered in gastrointestinal
tract.
Chronic: No known published data available.
Carcinogenicity: NTP? IARC Monographs? OSHA Regulated? SARA Title III?
Not Listed Not Listed Not Regulated Release Reporting Form R
40 CFR Part 372
Toxicity Information: Based on industry-wide experience over many years of manufacturing and published toxicological studies,
organic pigments in general are considered to be practically non-toxic. Biogegradation of organic colorants under aerobic conditions
is expected to be poor and there is no evidence to suggest they cause any significant ecological problems when released into the
environment. Since organic pigments are generally insoluble and have minimal bioaccumulation and bioavailability characteristics.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: N/A
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Eye Contact - Flush thoroughly with water for 15 Minutes.
Inhalation - Remove to fresh air. If breathing difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
Skin Contact - Wash skin thoroughly with soap or mild detergent, and water. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion - If conscious, give large quantities of water to induce vomiting. Call a physician.
SECTION VI - REACTIVITY DATA
Stability: [ ] Unstable [X] Stable Conditions to Avoid: Avoid contact with strong mineral acids
Incompatibility: Avoid strong oxidizing agents such as peroxides, chlorates, perchlorates, nitrates, and
permanganates. Oxidizing materials vigorously evolve oxygen in large amounts.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Zinc Sulfide may generate H2S upon contact with very strong mineral acids. Monoarylide
compound may produce CO, CO2, oxides of nitrogen, and other potentially toxic fumes.
Hazardous Polymerization: [ ] May occur [X] Will not occur
SECTION VII - SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled:
Material will be blown away as dust. Prevent spread of material and keep dust level down. Scoop up material or use vacuum
technique. Those involved in the clean-up should use respiratory protection.
Waste Disposal Methods:
As with other pigment powders, disposal must be made in accordance with Federal, State and local regulations.
RCRA Status: - Not identified as a RCRA hazardous waste under 40 CRF 261, and is not regulated under CERCLA (Superfund).
SECTION VIII - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
Respiratory Protection: Wear NIOSH approved dust respirator.
Ventilation: Provide local exhaust ventilation system to meet TLV requirements.
Protective Gloves: No requirement Eye Protection: Goggles advisable against dust.
Hygienic Practices: Wash thoroughly with soap and water before eating, drinking or using tobacco products.
SECTION IX - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storing:
- Avoid contact with water or strong acids; - Keep storage area dry; - Use ventilation to keep dust level down;
- Use a personal respirator if dust cannot be controlled; - Store away from heat; - Use good hygienic practice.
