Section 3: Hazards Identification

HMIS Rating:

FLAMMABILITY = 1 HEALTH = 1
REACTIVITY = 0 SPECIAL = none

Health Hazards (Acute, Chronic, Immediate and Potential):
Acute Eye Effects: Non-irritant
Acute Skin Effects: Non-irritant, non-sensitizer
Acute Inhalation Effects: Excessive inhalation may cause irritation of the nose, throat and respiratory tract.
Acute Ingestion Effects: None currently known.
Primary Entry Routes: Inhalation, dermal contact, incidental ingestion.
Health Hazards of Long Term exposure (Chronic): Prolonged inhalation of excessive dust may cause lung damage. It is

attributed to “lung overloading”, a generic response to excessive amounts of any dust retained in the lungs for a prolonged interval.
Use of this product, as intended, does not result in inhalation of excessive dust.
Carcinogenicity: Carbon Black was reclassified as a Group 2B by the IARC in 1996 based upon the result of only the inhalation
study in rats. However, there was not observed the incidence of tumors on the test results on dermal or oral studies. Also, 2-years
inhalation study using a typical toner containing carbon black showed no association between toner exposure and animal tumors.
Medical Condition Aggravated By Long Term Exposure: Respiratory disorders, such as asthma, may be aggravated by
prolonged exposure to high concentrations of this product.

Miscellaneous: Prolonged exposure to dusts of this product may irritate the respiratory system.

Section 4: First Aid Measures

Inhalation:
Skin Contact:

Remove to fresh air immediately. Get medical
attention if needed.

Wash with soap and water. Wash clothing before
reuse. If irritation occurs or is persistent, seek
medical attention.

Eye Contact:
Ingestion:

In case of contact, immediately flush eyes
with water for 15 minutes. Get medical
attention if needed.
Dilute stomach contents with several
glasses of water. Get medical attention.

Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures

Suitable extinguishing media: CO2, dry chemical, foam or water.
Fire Fighting Instructions: Generally by sprinkling or extinguisher.

Hazardous Combustion Products: CO2, Carbon Monoxide and smoke.
Miscellaneous: This material is capable of creating a dust explosion. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame.

UEL: n/a LEL: n/a

Unusual Fire or explosion hazards: Combustible
powder. Dust of this product at sufficient concentrations
can form explosive mixtures with air.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

Spill / leak Procedures: If spilled, sweep up using an approved toner vacuum with a 0.5 micron filter or smaller, such as the Atrix
AAA Toner Vacuum or 3M Toner Vacuum. Use of a vacuum cleaner not rated for toner particles, could result in a fire or personal
injury. Remove residue with soap and cold water.
Miscellaneous: Keep product out of sewers and watercourses.
Personal protection: Avoid inhalation of dust.

Section 7: Handling and Storage

Special Handling: Cleanse skin after contact before eating, drinking or smoking.

Special Storage: Avoid direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place. Below 35C (95F)

Do not handle in areas where the wind blows. Flying powder may enter eyes.
Minimize the breathing of dust.

Section 8: Exposure Control and Personal Protection Information:

Respiratory Protection: none required under normal use. Hand Protection: none required under normal use.
Eye Protection: none required under normal use. Skin Protection: none required under normal use.

Section 9: Physical and Chemical Properties

CHARACTERISTICS:
Appearance: Black Melting point: 110 – 150°C (softening point)
Form: Fine solid powder Vapor pressure: N/a
Odor: Odorless Vapor density: N/a
Solubility in Water: Negligible Evaporation rate: N/a
Specific gravity: 1.1 – 1.5 Boiling point: N/a
Density: N/a

Section 10: Stability and Reactivity

Conditions to avoid: None Materials to avoid: None
Hazardous decomposition products: Will not occur Stability: Stable
Polymerization: Will not occur

Section 11: Toxicological Information:

Ames test: Negative Acute skin irritation: non-irritant
Eye Effects: non-irritant
Acute oral toxicity: LD50 >5000mg/kg
Acute inhalation effects: LC50 (4H) is in excess of 5.37 mg/l (this was the highest attainable concentration.
Special effects: Carcinogenicity: In 1996 the IARC reclassified Carbon Black as a Group 2B carcinogen (possible human

carcinogen). This evaluation is given to carbon black for which there is inadequate human evidence, but sufficient animal
evidence. The latter is based upon the development of lung tumors in rats receiving chronic inhalation exposures to free carbon
black at levels that induce particle overload of the lung. Studies performed in animal models other than rats have not
demonstrated an association between carbon black and lung tumors. Moreover, 2-years cancer bioassay using a typical toner
preparation containing carbon black did not demonstrate an association between toner exposure and tumor development in rats.
