SWALLOWED
The material has NOT been classified by EC Directives or other classification
systems as "harmful by ingestion". This is because of the lack of corroborating
animal or human evidence. The material may still be damaging to the health of
the individual, following ingestion, especially where pre-existing organ (e.g
liver, kidney) damage is evident. Present definitions of harmful or toxic
substances are generally based on doses producing mortality rather than those
producing morbidity (disease, ill-health). Gastrointestinal tract discomfort may
produce nausea and vomiting. In an occupational setting however, ingestion of
insignificant quantities is not thought to be cause for concern.
EYE
Although the material is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC
Directives), direct contact with the eye may cause transient discomfort
characterised by tearing or conjunctival redness (as with windburn). Slight
abrasive damage may also result. The material may produce foreign body
irritation in certain individuals.
SKIN
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or skin irritation
following contact (as classified by EC Directives using animal models).
Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum
and that suitable gloves be used in an occupational setting.
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions,
may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the
use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
INHALED
The material is not thought to produce respiratory irritation (as classified by
EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless inhalation of dusts, or fumes,
especially for prolonged periods, may produce respiratory discomfort and
occasionally, distress.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Long term exposure to high dust concentrations may cause changes in lung
function (i.e. pneumoconiosis) caused by particles less than 0.5 micron
penetrating and remaining in the lung. A prime symptom is breathlessness. Lung
shadows show on X-ray.
Long-term exposure to the product is not thought to produce chronic effects

adverse to the health (as classified by EC Directives using animal models);
nevertheless exposure by all routes should be minimised as a matter of course.
FIRST AID
SWALLOWED
路 Immediately give a glass of water.
路 First aid is not generally required. If in doubt, contact a Poisons
Information Centre or a doctor.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with eyes:
路 Wash out immediately with water.
路 If irritation continues, seek medical attention.
路 Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by
skilled personnel.
SKIN
If skin or hair contact occurs:
路 Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
路 Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
ADVICE TO DOCTOR
Treat symptomatically.

Local exhaust ventilation usually required. If risk of overexposure exists, wear
approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection.
Supplied-air type respirator may be required in special circumstances. Correct
fit is essential to ensure adequate protection.
An approved self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) may be required in some
situations.
Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage area. Air
contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities
which, in turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air
required to effectively remove the contaminant.
Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:
solvent, vapours, degreasing etc., 0.25-0.5 m/s (50-100 f/min.)
evaporating from tank (in still air).
aerosols, fumes from pouring 0.5-1 m/s (100-200 f/min.)
operations, intermittent container
filling, low speed conveyer transfers,
welding, spray drift, plating acid
fumes, pickling (released at low
velocity into zone of active
generation)
direct spray, spray painting in shallow 1-2.5 m/s (200-500 f/min.)
booths, drum filling, conveyer loading,
crusher dusts, gas discharge (active
generation into zone of rapid air
motion)
grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, 2.5-10 m/s (500-2000 f/min.)
high speed wheel generated dusts
(released at high initial velocity into
zone of very high rapid air motion).
Within each range the appropriate value depends on:
Lower end of the range Upper end of the range
1: Room air currents minimal or 1: Disturbing room air currents
favourable to capture
2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of 2: Contaminants of high toxicity
nuisance value only.
3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use
4: Large hood or large air mass in 4: Small hood-local control only
motion
Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the
opening of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the
square of distance from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the
air speed at the extraction point should be adjusted, accordingly, after
reference to distance from the contaminating source. The air velocity at the
extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 1-2 m/s (200-400 f/min) for
extraction of solvents generated in a tank 2 meters distant from the extraction

point. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits within
the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are
multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed or
used.
