SECTION 6 - TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
ROUTES OF ENTRY
? ?br>
SKIN CONTACT n EYE CONTACT n INGESTION n
SKIN ABSORPTION INHALATION
ACUTE EXPOSURE TO PRODUCT: Inhalation ?Very low vapor pressure - no significant inhalation hazard under normal
conditions. Eye - Will cause severe irritation, burning, redness and tearing. Skin - Can cause irritation, redness burning on
prolonged contact. Ingestion causes irritation of the digestive tract.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE TO PRODUCT: Prolonged skin contact may aggravate an existing dermatitis. Because of its high nitrate
content repeated ingestion (as may occur with poor hygiene practices) may interfere with the oxygen transport mechanism of the
blood resulting in weakness, headaches
CARCINOGENICITY: Cobalt Compounds is listed as IARC Group 2B - a possible human carcinogen. Chromium (III) as listed by
ACGIH TLV chemicals is not regulated as carcinogenic. Chromium (III) is listed in IARC Groups 3 as unclassifiable as to human
carcinogenicity.
TARGET ORGAN EFFECTS: .Skin, eyes ?irritation due to acidic nature
EMERGENCY FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
EYES: Flush with running water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.
SKIN: wash affected area with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before re-use.
INHALATION: Remove victim to fresh air. Administer oxygen and/or artificial respiration if breathing difficulties occur. Seek medical
attention.
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Dilute by drinking water and seek immediate medical attention.
SECTION 7 - PREVENTATIVE MEASURES
GLOVES RESPIRATOR: Use NIOSH approved SCBA in EYE (SPECIFY)
Nitrile for incidental, non-immersion contact. emergency situations or confined areas. Splash proof goggles or face shield
CLOTHING : Boots, aprons , or chemical suits should be used when necessary to prevent skin contact.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS (SPECIFY, EG. VENTILATION, ENCLOSED PROCESS) : Use local exhaust or dilution ventilation as
appropriate to control exposure below permissible levels.
LEAK AND SPILL PROCEDURE: Extinguish all sources of ignition. Provide maximum ventilation. Dike area to contain spill. Take
precautions to prevent contamination of ground and surface waters. Recover spilled material using absorbent material such as
vermiculite and sweep into closed containers for disposal.
WASTE DISPOSAL: Contaminated vermiculite or porous surface must be disposed of in a permitted hazardous waste facility.
Recovered liquids may be reprocessed or incinerated in a permitted hazardous waste facility. In all cases material should be
disposed of in accordance with all applicable regulations.
HANDLING PROCEDURES AND EQUIPMENT: Keep container closed when not in use. Store only in closed, properly labeled
containers. Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area away from heat sparks and open flames. Treat empty containers as containing
hazardous residues.
SECTION 8 - ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65: This regulation does not address de minimis levels. Therefore even trace amounts of chemicals on these lists
must be identified. Trace quantities refer low levels of materials whose exact concentrations may not always be determined because of their minuteness.
This product contains the following chemicals known by the state of California to cause cancer: Dimethylnitrosamine
This product contains the following chemicals known by the state of California to cause reproductive harm : None
SHIPPING INFORMATION: Not regulated for shipping purposes
