3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
CAUTION!
Powdered
material may form explosive dust-air mixtures
Molten material will produce thermal
burns
HMIS
Hazard Ratings: Health – 1, Flammability – 1, Chemical Reactivity – 0
NFPA
Hazard Ratings: Health – 1, Flammability – 1, Instability – 0
Note:
HMIS and NFPA ratings involve data and interpretations that may vary from company to company.
They are intended only for rapid, general identification of the magnitude of
the specific hazard. To deal adequately with the safe handling of this
material, all the information contained in this MSDS must be considered.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: If symptomatic,
move to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms persist
Eyes: If molten material
contacts the eye, immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes. If easy to do, remove contact lenses. Get medical attention
immediately.
Skin: If burned by contact
with molten material, cool as quickly as possible. Do not peel material from
skin. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: Material is not
expected to be absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract so that induction of
vomiting should not be necessary.
Note to Physicians: Burns
should be treated as thermal burns. The material will come off as healing
occurs; therefore, immediate removal from the skin is not necessary.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing
Media: water spray, dry chemical
Special Fire-Fighting
Procedures: Wear self contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.
Hazardous Combustion
Products: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide
Unusual Fire and Explosion
Hazards: Powdered material may form explosive dust-air mixtures.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Sweep
or scoop up and remove.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Personal Precautionary
Measures: No special precautionary measures should be needed under anticipated
conditions of use.
Prevention of Fire and
Explosion: Keep from contact with oxidizing materials. Minimize dust generated
and accumulation. Refer to NFPA Pamphlet No. 654, “Prevention of Fire and Dust
Explosions in the Chemical, Dye, Pharmaceutical and Plastics Industries.”
Storage: Keep container
closed.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure
Limits:
ACGIH
Threshold Limit Value (TLV): not established
OSHA (USA) Permissible
Exposure Limit (PEL, 1989 Table Z-1-A values or section-specific standards):
not established
Ventilation: Good general
ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation
rates should be matched to conditions. Supplementary local exhaust ventilation,
closed systems, or respiratory spaces, mechanical generation of dusts, heating,
drying, etc.
Respiratory Protection: If
engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations to an acceptable
level, an approved respirator must be worn.
Respirator Type: dust. If
respirators are used, a program should be instituted to assure compliance with
OSHA Standard 63 FR 1152, January 8, 1998.
Eye Protection: It is good
industrial hygiene practice to minimize eye contact.
Skin Protection: Wear gloves
to protect against thermal burns.
Recommended Decontamination
Facilities: eye bath, washing facilities.
