Chemical Identity: Mixture; proprietary formulation
CAS Numbers: Proprietary; regulatory disclosure available upon request
Impurities: Trace amounts of heavy metals (< 0.05%), residual solvents (< 0.1%)
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. Keep comfortable for breathing. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist such as coughing, dizziness, shortness of breath.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Rinse affected skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Do not use organic solvents or harsh soaps. Obtain medical attention for persistent irritation or allergic reaction.
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if present. Continue rinsing and seek medical attention promptly for redness, pain, or impaired vision.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Get medical attention if feeling unwell, show symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting.
Most Important Symptoms/Effects: Skin sensitization, irritation, severe eye irritation, possible respiratory tract irritation.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical powder, foam, carbon dioxide, water spray for smaller fires; avoid high-pressure streams
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use a direct water jet as materials can splatter and spread
Special Hazards: Fire can produce irritating and toxic fumes such as metal oxides and organic decomposition products. Dust within air can create explosion hazards.
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Full protective clothing, self-contained breathing apparatus
Advice for Firefighters: Evacuate area, fight fire from upwind position. Prevent runoff from entering drains or surface water.
Personal Precautions: Use appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves, protective clothing, and safety goggles. Avoid breathing dust.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe. Avoid discharge into drains, surface or groundwater. Notify authorities if mass release occurs.
Cleanup Methods: Contain spilled material. Use non-sparking tools to collect and transfer to a labeled waste container. Sweep or shovel into properly marked drums. Ventilate area. Wash contaminated area with water.
Disposal: Dispose of collected material in compliance with local, regional, and national legislation.
Handling: Handle only in well-ventilated areas. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Wash hands and face thoroughly after handling.
Storage: Store in a dry, cool, well-ventilated location away from incompatible substances like strong acids, alkalies, and oxidizing agents. Keep containers tightly closed. Protect from moisture, direct sunlight, and heat sources.
Other Precautions: Emergency showers and eyewash stations should be available at the workplace. Do not reuse containers. Clearly label storage vessels.
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation or fume hoods recommended. Facilities should have suitable ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below recommended exposure limits.
Personal Protective Equipment: Protective gloves (nitrile or neoprene recommended), chemical safety goggles, long-sleeved clothing, and lab coats. For dusty environments, use NIOSH-approved respiratory protection.
Exposure Limits: No specific OSHA/ACGIH exposure limits defined; consider nuisance dust threshold of 10 mg/m³ (total dust) as a guideline.
Hygiene Measures: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Do not eat, drink, or smoke when handling.
Appearance: Pale gray to off-white powder
Odor: Faint organic odor, metallic
pH (Suspension): 6.0 – 8.0
Melting Point: Decomposes above 280°C
Boiling Point: Not applicable
Flash Point: Not flammable in solid form
Vapor Pressure: Negligible at ambient conditions
Solubility (Water): Limited solubility
Density: 1.2 – 1.6 g/cm³
Particle Size: 20 – 90 µm
Explosive Properties: Dust may form explosive mixtures with air under high concentrations.
Stability: Stable under normal storage and handling conditions. Prolonged exposure to moisture can degrade activity.
Reactivity: Reacts vigorously with strong acids and oxidizing agents, may release heat and toxic fumes.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur under normal temperature and pressure.
Decomposition Products: Releases metal oxide fumes, organic vapors, and trace hydrocarbons if overheated or in a fire.
Conditions to Avoid: Avoid uncontrolled contact with water, acids, or strong oxidizers. Prevent dust buildup and exposure to sources of ignition.
Likely Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, ingestion, skin, and eye contact
Acute Effects: Harmful if swallowed. Dust may irritate respiratory tract. Prolonged exposure can cause skin sensitization and moderate to severe eye irritation.
Chronic Effects: Repeated dermal exposure can produce allergic contact dermatitis. Animal studies show potential for respiratory sensitization with long-term exposure.
LD50 (Oral, Rat): 1,500 mg/kg (estimate based on blend components)
Carcinogenicity: No component listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA
Other Data: Not mutagenic or teratogenic in standard laboratory tests.
Ecotoxicity: Moderate aquatic toxicity demonstrated in algae and daphnia tests. LC50 (fish, 96 h): 23 mg/L (as blend component).
Persistence and Degradability: Contains components that are not readily biodegradable. Remain persistent in soil and sediment.
Bioaccumulation Potential: Low to moderate. Metal-containing materials can accumulate in benthic organisms but organic portion has limited potential.
Mobility in Soil: Low mobility, particles settle and bind to soil
Other Adverse Effects: Avoid runoff into waterways, may contribute to eutrophication in sensitive ecosystems.
Waste Treatment Methods: Collect and place in tightly sealed containers. Dispose of through a licensed hazardous waste disposal contractor.
Contaminated Packaging: Handle empty packaging with the same care as the product due to residue hazards.
Waste Code: Consult local, regional, and national regulations for classification. EPA Hazardous Waste Number: D002 (for corrosivity)
Reuse/Recycling: Material recycling only with prior technical review; do not reprocess without assessment.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent release into drains, surface water, and soil.
