HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION

HEALTH EFFECTS

Acute:

Swallowed : Practically non toxic (LD50: greater than 2000 mg/kg).
Eye : practically non-irritating (Draize score: greater than 5, but

15 or less).
Skin : Practically non-irritating (Primary irritation index: greater
than 0.5, but less than 3).
Inhaled : Practically non toxic.

Chronic:

FIRST AID
Swallowed : Do not induce vomiting. Give 1 to 2 glasses of water.

Obtain medical attention or call an ambulance.

Eye : Flush with water. If irritation persists, call a doctor.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

Exposure Standards: Mineral spirit : OSHA TLV 100ppm

Graphite : OSHA TLV 15.0MPPCF

Engineering Controls: Use in well ventilated area. Local exhaust ventilation may

be necessary to minimise excessive vapour or mist release into working
environment. Ventilation required and equipment MUST be explosion proof. Use
away from all ignition sources.

Personnel Protection: Normal industrial safety precautions should be observed
when handling product.

Eye : Normal industrial eye protection practices should be

employed.

Skin protection : If prolonged or repeated skin contact is likely, oil

impervious gloves should be worn. Good personal
hygiene practices should always be followed.

Inhalation : Approved respiratory protective equipment must be

used when vapour or mist concentration exceed
applicable standards.

Flammability : Flammable.

Lower explosive limit : 1.0%, Upper explosive limit: 6.0%

SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION

Storage and Transport : Outside or detached storage preferred. Storage

containers should be grounded and bonded. Store in a cool area away from all
ignition sources. Avoid prolonged, repeated skin contact. Use in well ventilated area
away from all ignition sources. Avoid sparking conditions. Ground and bond all
transfer equipment.

Spills and Disposal : Contain and adsorb on fire retardant treated
sawdust, diatomaceous earth, etc. Shovel up and dispose of at an appropriate
licensed waste disposal site in accordance with current applicable laws and
regulations and product characteristics at time of disposal. Eliminate all ignition
sources. Remove leaking containers to detached area. Mix with a compatible
chemical which is less combustible and incinerate in compliance with applicable
laws and regulations.

SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION contd

Fire/Explosion Hazard : Flammable.

Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Use water to cool fire-exposed containers. If a

leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapours and to protect
personnel attempting to stop leak.

Water spray may be used to flush spills away from exposures. Prevent runoff from
fire control of dilution from entering waterways, sewers or drinking water supply.

Special protective Equipment: For fires in enclosed areas, firefighters must use
self contained breathing apparatus.

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: FLAMMABLE. Vapour accumulation could
flash and/or explode if ignited.

Other Information: Stability (Thermal, Light, etc): Stable.

Conditions to avoid: Heat, sparks, flame and build up of static electricity.

Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): Strong oxidisers.

Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon Monoxide.

Hazardous Polymerisation: Will not occur.
