SECTION III - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION:
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: NO UNUSUAL FIRE OR SPILL HAZARD. LOW HEALTH RISK BY INHALATION.
Information presented herein is believed to be accurate and reliable but is not intended to meet any specification and does not imply any guarantee or warranty by K-Plex LLC
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:EYES: MAY CAUSE MECHANICAL IRRITATION.SKIN: NONE INHALATION: LOW HEALTH RISK BY INHALATION. TREAT AS A NUISANCE DUST. ORAL LD50: GREATER THAN 10 g/kg (RAT)
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
ACUTE:CAUSES MECHANICAL SKIN AND EYE IRRITATION.
CHRONIC:PROLONGED INHALATION OF IRON OXIDE DUST IS KNOWN TO PRODUCE A CONDITION KNOWN AS SIDEROSTS. ON X-RAYS IT APPEARS TO BE A BENIGN PNEUMOCONIOSIS AND IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH PULMONARY FIBROSIS OR DISABILITY UNLESS THERE IS CONCURRENT EXPOSURE TO OTHER FIBROSIS- PRODUCING MATERIALS SUCH AS SILICA. THE TLV IS SET TO PROTECT AGAINST SIDEROSIS.
CARCINOGENICITY: NOT LISTED WITH NTP, IARC, OR OSHA AS A KNOWN OR SUSPECTED CARCINOGEN.
SECTION IV - FIRST AID MEASURES:
EYES: FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN IF IRRITATION PERSISTS. SKIN: WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER.
INHALATION:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF BREATHING IS LABORED OR STOPPED, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRTION. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INGESTION:IF SWALLOWED, DILUTE WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER TO INDUCE VOMITING. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN.
SECTION V - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES:
FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES: NON-FLAMMABLE FLASH POINT -NONE FLAMMABLE LIMITS - NOT APPLICABLE AUTO-IGNITION TEMPERATURE -NOT APPLICABLE
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: NONE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: USE EXTINGUISHING AGENT APPLICABLE TO SURROUNDING FIRE. FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: FIRE FIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR NIOSH APPROVED, POSITIVE PRESSURE, SELF-
CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS AND FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WHEN APPROPRIATE.
SECTION VI -ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES:
SMALL/LARGE SPILL: CLEAN UP USING DRY PROCEDURES; AVOID OUSTING.
SECTION VII - HANDLING AND STORAGE:
HANDLING:GOOD INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE PRACTICE REQUIRES THAT EMPLOYEE EXPOSURE BE MAINTAINED BELOW TLV. THIS IS PREFERABLY ACHIEVED THROUGH THE PROVISION OF
ADEQUATE VENTILATION WHERE NECESSARY. WHERE DUST CANNOT BE CONTROLLED IN THIS WAY, PERSONAL RESPIRATORY PROTECTION SHOULD BE EMPLOYED.
STORAGE:STORE IN A CLEAN, DRY AREA AT AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IN ORIGINAL UNOPENED CONTAINERS. CONDITIONS OF HIGH HUMIDITY MAY REQUIRE STORAGE IN A CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT.
SECTION VIII - EXPOSURE CONTROLS:
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION TO MEET EXPOSURE LIMITS LISTED IN
SECTION 11. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: NIOSH APPROVED DUST RESPIRATOR IF OVEREXPOSURE POTENTIAL EXISTS. SKIN PROTECTION: LEATHER OR RUBBER GLOVES.
EYE PROTECTION: SAFETY GLASSES, GOGGLES, OR FACE SHIELD RECOMMENDED.
SECTION IX - PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES:
APPEARANCE: BROWN POWDER BOILING POINT: NOT APPLICABLE VAPOR PRESSURE: NOT APPLICABLE VAPOR DENSITY: NOT APPLICABLE SOLUBILITY IN WATER: INSOLUBLE SPECIFIC GRAVITY: 4.80 - 5.20 pH: NOT DETERMINED ODOR: NONE ODOR THRESHOLD: NOT APPLICABLE
SECTION X - STABILITY AND REACTIVITY:
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: NONE
INCOMPATIBILITY:IRON OXIDES ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH HYDRAZINE, CALCIUM HYPOCHLORITE, PERFORMIC ACID, AND BROMINE PENTAFLUORIDE.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: NONE HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: NONE
SECTION XI - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION:
THERE ARE NO KNOWN DANGEROUS ACUTE OR CHRONIC EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF THIS MATERIAL. THE ACUTE ORAL TOXICITY LD50 ORAL (RAT) FOR Fe2O3 IS GREATER THAN 10 g/kg (RAT).
THIS PRODUCT IS NOT CONSIDERED TO BE A KNOWN OR SUSPECTED CARCINOGEN BY NTP, IARC, OR OSHA.
SECTION XII - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION:
NO HARMFUL EFFECTS KNOWN OTHER THAN THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH SUSPENDED INERT SOLIDS IN WATER.
SECTION XIII - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS:
COLLECT IN CONTAINERS, BAGS, OR COVERED DUMPSTER BOXES. IF REUSE OR RECYCLING IS NOT POSSIBLE, MATERIAL MAY BE DISPOSED OF AT A CHEMICALLY SECURE LANDFILL.
RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE NUMBER: NOT FEDERALLY REGULATED.
SECTION XIV - TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION:
U.S. DOT: NOT REGULATED - ENTER THE PROPER FREIGHT CLASSIFICATION ON THE SHIPPING PAPERWORK, "MSDS NUMBER", AND "PRODUCT NAME" FOR SHIPPING PURPOSES.
