3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Solid slab or granules. Use appropriate personal protective equipment. During fire situations, irritating and
toxic gases may be generated. Keep from entering storm or sanitary sewers, ground water, or soil. Avoid
contact with skin and eyes.
HMIS Rating: Health ?*, Flammability ?1, Reactivity ?0, Personal Protection Equipment ?F** (safety
glasses, protective gloves, apron, dust mask)
*suspected carcinogen (NTP), skin sensitizer
**This is recommended personal protection equipment, final personal protection equipment should be
determined by the plant safety department based on the actual conditions under which the product is used.
Potential Health Effects:
Eye: May cause irritation.
Skin Contact: Skin sensitizer. May cause sensitization by skin contact. Prolonged or repeated contact with skin
can cause eczema-like dermatitis.
Ingestion: May cause irritation.
Inhalation: May cause irritation.
NOTE ON DISPERSION FORM: This is a polymer bound dispersion form of an originally powder or pellet
material. Because it is a dispersion form and produces little or no dust, the potential health effects (eye, skin
contact, ingestion and inhalation) that are normally associated with powder or pellet materials are greatly
reduced.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Skin: Wash off immediately with plenty of soap and water. Seek medical advice in case of skin rash.
Eye: Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, consult an
ophthalmologist.
Ingestion: Get medical help.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Consult a doctor.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: ND LEL: ND UEL: ND Auto Ignition Temperature: ND
Use water, dry powder or regular foam to extinguish fires. Product in or near fires should be cooled with a water
spray or fog. A self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) operating in the positive pressure mode and full fire
fighting protective clothing should be worn for combating fires. During a fire the product can form sulfur dioxide
and nitrogen oxides.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Take up any spilled product by mechanical means (avoid dust formation) and place into sealed containers for
proper disposal. Do not allow product to enter sewage or ground water. Dispose of waste materials including
empty product bags or drums in accordance with Local, State and Federal regulations. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes.
Individuals involved in the cleanup should wear appropriate personal protective equipment. See Section 8.
Unnecessary personnel should be kept clear of the area.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Storage Conditions: Do not store near acids and oxidants or at high temperatures. Store in closed containers in a
dry environment. Recommended packaging is cardboard boxes with polyethylene liner.
Handling: Good housekeeping and engineering practices should be employed to prevent the accumulation of
product. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Individuals handling this product should wear personal protective
equipment specified in Section 8. Plant environment should include controls and equipment specified in Section 8.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROL - PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation should be provided. Design details for local exhaust ventilation
systems may be found in the latest edition of "Industrial Ventilation: A Manual of Recommended Practices"
published by the ACGIH Committee on Industrial Ventilation, P.O. Box 16153, Lansing, MI 48910. The need for
local exhaust ventilation should be evaluated by a professional industrial hygienist. Local exhaust ventilation
systems should be designed by a professional engineer.
Respiratory Protection: Efficient dust mask.
Eye Protection: Chemical protective goggles are recommended where there is a possibility of eye contact with the
product. Safety glasses with side shields are recommended for all other operations. An eye wash device should be
available in the work area where the product is handled.
Protection Gloves: Neoprene or nitrile gloves should be worn to prevent irritation and possible absorption. Cloth
gloves are not recommended.
Other Protection Items: Neoprene or nitrile rubber coated apron or other body covering may be required if there is
a possibility of regular work clothing becoming contaminated with the product. All soiled or dirty clothing and
personal protective equipment should be thoroughly cleaned before reuse. Do not eat or smoke while handling this
product.

NTP Report:
Under the conditions of these 2-year gavage studies, there was some evidence of carcinogenic activity of 2-
mercaptobenzothiazole for male F344/N rats, indicated by increased incidences of mononuclear cell leukemia,
pancreatic acinar cell adenomas, adrenal gland pheochromocytomas, and preputial gland adenomas or carcinomas
(combined). There was some evidence of carcinogenic activity for female F344/N rats, indicated by increased
incidences of adrenal gland pheochromocytomas and pituitary gland adenomas. There was no evidence of
carcinogenic activity of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole for male B6C3F1 mice dosed with 375 or 750 mg/kg. There was
equivocal evidence of carcinogenic activity for female B6C3F1 mice, indicated by increased incidences of
hepatocellular adenomas or carcinomas (combined).
