2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Classification:
Not classified as hazardous for health or environment.
Most important hazards:
Because of the water content there is very little risk for spontaneous combustion if the product is
absorbed by porous organic material, but large amount of the material could be soaked with
additional water.

Lapis Lazuli or Lazurite is a natural mineral of silicic acid, aluminium sodium salt, sulfurized.
Iron oxide is either Fe2O3, Fe3O4 or FeHO2 depending on the colour.
The product contains 0.01-0.1% of quartz which is a natural part of the chalk. The amount of
respirable quartz is very low.

The value for iron oxide and chrome oxide is only relevant when grinding the dried product.
The CAS number for iron oxide has not been declared because the type of iron oxide could vary in
the different colours.
The occupational exposure value for quartz is not relevant for this product.
Recommended monitoring None

Respiratory protection None when painting. If polishing or grinding dried product a
dust mask could be used.
If occupational exposure value is surpassed use half mask

9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Appearance/State of Liquid
aggregation
Colour Depending on the pigment
Odour Linseed
Density Appr. 1. kg/l. Depending on the colour.
Solubility in water Can only emulsify and is not soluble in water.
Solubility in other solvents The product is partially soluble in many solvents, but it is not
recommended to mix with solvents.
Partition coefficient Not determined but probably >3 for the linseed oil in the
n-octanol/water product. Linseed oil does normally consist of about 18-23 %
oleic acid and this has a log Kow 7.7. The other triglycerides
in linseed oil are similar.
VOC content <5 g/l
64 g/(m2xh) after 4 week of drying time of linseed oil paint
Emission factor, Total volatile
organic compounds, TVOC (pure linseed oil is not tested).
18 g/(m2xh) after 26 weeks of drying time oil paint.
10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Conditions to avoid Do not store above room temperature and not below 4癈
Material to avoid Strong acids, bases and oxidizing agents.
It reacts violently with hypochlorite.
Colours with chrome should not be treated with strong bases
like sodium hydroxide.
Hazardous decomposition Chrome oxide decomposes to chromate when heated e.g. at
products fire. Chromate ions are carcinogenic and sensitizers.
Stability Stable at normal storage conditions
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
General information: Linseed oil is a common animal nutrition additive and has no known
toxicological hazards. There are even some studies that indicate positive health effects of new
pressed linseed oil. The added siccative in boiled linseed oil and added pigments makes it however
unsuitable to ingest.
Inhalation: Only a risk when spraying the product. The product could cause irritation if
occupational exposure limit for oil mist is surpassed. The product consumes oxygen when drying
and good ventilation is necessary. If inferior ventilation exists, there is a risk for headache.
Skin contact: Repeated contact might dry out the skin, but during normal use there is no hazard.
Acute toxicity: Linseed oil: >15000 mg/kg body weight.
Ingestion: Linseed oil is a laxative, but single ingestion will not give raise to any hazard.
Sensitization: Not a sensitizer.
Carcinogenic effects: None known effect of the product.
Safety Data Sheet for Linus wall paint page 5(7)
Titanium dioxide has given benign tumours in rats when inhaled. In female rats it has also given
cancer tumours on the lungs. Titanium oxide is under evaluation by IARC. In the monograph 47 it
is classified as group 3 (The agent is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans).
Monograph 93 is under evaluation and IARC has now classified titanium dioxide as group 2B. The
agent is possibly carcinogenic to humans. When titanium oxide is dispersed in linseed oil, like in
this product, there is no risk of inhaling titanium dioxide (unless dried product is grinded).
Reproductive toxicity: None known.
Mutagenic effects: None known.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute toxicity for aquatic organisms (OECD): The product is not toxic to aquatic organisms.
Persistency and biodegradation: The linseed oil is easily biodegradable.
Bioaccumulation: The product will not bioaccumulate.
PBT Assessment: The product is not estimated to contain any PBT or vPvB substance.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Waste code EWC Depends where the waste is produced, but suitable codes are
02 02 03, 20 01 28 or 08 01 13.
The product is hazardous No
waste
Package disposal Can be sorted as metal if properly cleaned.
Suitable disposal Must be incinerated in a suitable incineration plant holding a
