This product is not hazardous in the form in which it is shipped by the manufacturer
GHS Label Elements
Signal word: Warning
Hazard statements: If fine particles are generated during further processing, handling or by other means, product may form combustible dust concentrations in air.
Composition/Information on Ingredients
Hazardous Components
The following potentially hazardous ingredient(s) are used to formulate this product. As supplied, the ingredient(s) are bound in the polymer matrix. Because they are bound in the matrix, they are not expected to create any unusual hazards when handled and processed according to good manufacturing and industrial hygiene practices and the guidelines provided in this SDS.

The specific chemical identity and/or exact percentage of component(s) have been withheld as a trade secret.
First Aid Measures
Most Important Symptom(s)/Effect(s)
Acute: Contact with heated material can cause thermal burns., Gases and fumes evolved during the thermal processing or decomposition of this material may irritate the eyes, skin or respiratory tract.
In case of contact, flush eyes with plenty of lukewarm water.
Cool melted product on skin with plenty of water. Do not remove solidified product. Get medical attention if thermal burn occurs.
Move to fresh air in case of accidental inhalation of dust or fumes from overheating or combustion.
Get medical attention.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water fog, Dry chemical, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Foam
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: High Pressure Water Streams
Firefighters should be equipped with self-contained breathing apparatus to protect against potentially toxic and irritating fumes.
By Fire and Thermal Decomposition: ; Phenol Carbon oxides, Hazardous decomposition products due to incomplete combustion
Toxic and irritating gases/fumes may be given off during burning or thermal decomposition. Avoid generating dust: fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations and in the presence of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard.
If molten, allow material to cool and place into an appropriate marked container for disposal. Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal. Dust deposits should not be allowed to accumulate on surfaces, as these may form an explosive mixture as they are released into the atmosphere in sufficient concentrations. Avoid dispersal of dust in the air (e.g., cleaning dust from surfaces with compressed air).
Handling and Storage
Handling/Storage Precautions
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices. Wash thoroughly after handling. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Routine housekeeping should be instituted to ensure that dust does not accumulate on surfaces. Solid particulate can generate electrical charging during operations such as unloading from containers and pneumatic transfer. Provide adequate precautions, such as electrical grounding and bonding, where conductive equipment is involved.
None.
Storage Temperature
Maximum: 49 °C (120.2 °F)
Containers should be tightly closed to prevent contamination with foreign materials and moisture.
Substances to Avoid
None known.
Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
The recommendations in this section should not be a substitute for a personal protective equipment (PPE) assessment performed by the employer as required by 29 CFR 1910 Subpart I.
Exposure Limits
Carbon Black (1333-86-4)
US. ACGIH Threshold Limit Values
Time weighted average 3 mg/m3 (Inhalable fraction.)
US. OSHA Table Z-1 Limits for Air Contaminants (29 CFR 1910.1000)
Permissible exposure limit 3.5 mg/m3
US. ACGIH Threshold Limit Values
Hazard Designation: Group A3 Confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans.
Any component which is listed in section 3 and is not listed in this section does not have a known ACGIH TLV, OSHA PEL or supplier recommended occupational exposure limit.
General dilution and local exhaust as necessary to control airborne vapors, mists, dusts and thermal decomposition products below appropriate airborne concentration standards/guidelines, especially during cutting, grinding and high heat operations.
Although no exposure limit has been established for this product, the OSHA PEL for Particulates Not Otherwise Regulated (PNOR) of 15 mg/m3 - total dust, 5 mg/m3 - respirable fraction is recommended. In addition, the ACGIH recommends 3 mg/m3 - respirable particles and 10 mg/m3 - inhalable particles for Particles (insoluble or poorly soluble) Not Otherwise Specified (PNOS)., In the event that these limits are exceeded, an air purifying respirator (APR) equipped with particulate (P100) cartridges is recommended.
Ensure gloves remain in good condition during use and replace if any deterioration is observed.
Wear heat resistant gloves when handling molten material.
Safety glasses with side-shields
No special skin protection requirements during normal handling and use.
Employees should wash their hands and face before eating, drinking, or using tobacco products. Educate and train employees in the safe use and handling of this product. Purgings should be collected as small flat thin shapes or thin strands to allow for rapid cooling.

Carcinogenicity
Several inhalation studies involving carbon black in female rats have shown increases in benign and malignant lung tumors. Although a large body of data on possible mechanisms of carcinogenicity in rats was considered by the IARC Working Group, it was not possible to state with confidence that the mechanisms of carcinogenicity in rats correlate to exposure in humans. Tumors have not been observed in other animal species (i.e., mouse and hamster) under similar circumstances and study conditions.
