SECTION 3 HAZARDOUS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW : Odorless black fine powder.
Not a highly flammable, but when suspended in air, is
combustible as with most organic powders.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
EYE EFFECTS : Solid or dusts may cause irritation or corneal injury.
SKIN EFFECTS : Essentially nonirritating to skin.
Skin absorption is unlikely due to physical properties.
INGESTION EFFECTS : Oral toxicity is believed to be low.
INHALATION EFFECTS : Minimal irritation to respiratory track may occur.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION:
SENSITIVITY TO MECHANICAL IMPACT : None
SENSITIVITY TO STATIC CHARGE: None

SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES
EYE CONTACT: Any material that contacts the eye should be washed out
immediately with water.
Wash di
G t afterleach contact.
tt ti if t i
SKIN CONTACT:
Get medical attention if symptoms is occur.
INHALATION: If symptomatic, remove to fresh air.
Get medical attention if symptoms persist.
INGESTION : If swallowed, drink 1-2 glasses of water and immediately induce
vomiting. Get medical attention.
SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT : Not applicable.
FLAMMABLE LIMITS : Not applicable.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA : Water fog, dry chemical, foam or CO2.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Carbon monoxide, Carbon dioxide and Smoke
FIRE-FIGHTING EQUIPMENT : Wear full bunker gear including a positive pressure
self-contained breathing apparatus in case of
burning in large quantities.
SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Minimize the release of particulates. Wear personal protective equipment. Sweep
up or vacuum spilled toner and carefully transfer into sealed waste container.
Sweep slowly to minimize generation of dust during cleanup. If a vacuum is used,
the motor must be rated as dust tight. Residue can be removed with soap and water.
Garments may be washed or dry cleaned, after removal of loose toner.
SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING : Avoid creating dust. Clean up all spills promptly.
Inhalation and contact with skin or eyes should be avoided.
Provide general ventilation. Good general ventilation should be
sufficient of most conditions.
STORAGE : Store in a cool, well ventilated place away from flames and
spark-producing equipment.
SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
ACGIH TLV= 10mg/m3(Total dust)
EXPOSURE GUIDELINES:
OSHA PEL= 15mg/m3(Total dust), 5mg/m3(Respirable dust)
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Good general ventilation is recommended.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION : Not required under normal conditions. For use other
than in normal operating procedures (such as in the
event of large spill), goggles and respirators may be
required.
SKIN PROTECTION : No precautions should be needed under normal use.
EYE PROTECTION : No precautions should be needed under normal use.

VAPOR DENSITY (AIR = 1) : Not applicable
% VOLATILE : Not applicable
BOILING POINT (掳C) : Not applicable
MELTING POINT (掳C) : Not applicable
SOLUBILITY IN WATER : Negligible
SPECIFIC GRAVITY (H2O=1) : 1.6
SECTION 10 STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
STABILITY: Stable
HAZARDOUS REACTIONS: Dust explosion, like most finely divided organic
powders.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Electronic discharge, throwing into fire.
MATERIALS TO AVOID: Oxidizing materials.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Carbon monoxide, Carbon dioxide and Smoke.
SECTION 11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
HEALTH EFFECTS FROM EXPOSURE: No symptoms expected with intended use.
ACUTE TOXICITY:
INHALATION: Finely divided solid. Avoid exposure to dust.
EYES: No specific hazard known. May cause temporary irritation.
SKIN: Low hazard for recommended handling.
INGESTION: Expected to be a low ingestion hazard.
MUTAGENICITY: Negative in the Ames test
CARCINOGENICITY:
No carcinogen or potential carcinogen, according to IARC Monographs, NTP,
OSHA(USA) regulation and EU Directive.
CHRONIC EFFECTS:
In study in rats (H. Muhle) by chronic inhalation exposure to a typical toner,
a mild to moderate degree of lung fibrosis was observed in 92% of the rats
in the high concentration (16mg/m3) exposure group, and a minimal to mild degree
of fibrosis was noted in 22% of the animals in the middle (4mg/m3) exposure
group.
But no pulmonary change was reported in the lowest (1mg/m3) exposure group,
the most relevant level to potential human exposure.
