Emergency Overview
WARNING! MAY FORM COMBUSTIBLE DUST CONCENTRATIONS IN AIR (DURING PROCESSING)
PRIMARY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: Eyes, Inhalation, Skin
Skin Contact: Incidental contact is not expected to cause irritation. However, exposure to this product may cause an allergic skin reaction and sensitization in some individuals. Repeated overexposure can cause skin dryness and may eventually lead to contact dermatitis.
Eye Contact: May cause slight to mild redness and burning. May cause mechanical irritation.
Inhalation: This product contains ingredients with established airborne exposure limits – see Section VIII. Otherwise it is considered a nuisance dust. No effects are expected when exposures are maintained below the exposure limits of Section VIII. However, exposure to this product may cause an allergic reaction and sensitization in some individuals. Lung and respiratory conditions may be aggravated by exposure.
Ingestion: May cause pain and upset stomach. |

|
SECTION IV - FIRST AID MEASURES |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with cool water for 15 minutes, occasionally lifting lids to ensure complete rinsing. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
Skin Contact: Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Remove and wash clothing and shoes before reuse. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If breathing difficulties develop, seek medical attention. If necessary, give artificial respiration.
Ingestion: Seek immediate medical attention. Wash out mouth with water followed by a cupful of water to drink. Repeat if vomiting occurs. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. |

Fire and Explosion Hazards: An HMIS flammability rating of 1 applies to the product as supplied. However, airborne dust from the product can present a flammability hazard and may form explosive dust mixtures with air. A potentially dangerous situation exists when powder is transferred from a closed container to a process in which dust concentrations are within the explosion (flammability) limits. The concentration of powder dust in air should be maintained outside of the limits.
Firefighting Instructions: Use fully protective equipment with self-contained breathing apparatus.
Explosion: 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. |

|
|
|
SECTION VI - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sweep up carefully or use explosion-proof vacuum cleaner. Then dispose of in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.
Dust deposits should not be allowed to accumulate on surfaces, as these may form an explosive mixture if they are released into the atmosphere in sufficient concentration.
Avoid dispersal of dust in the air (i.e., clearing dust surfaces with compressed air).
Nonsparking tools should be used. |
|
|
|
SECTION VII - HANDLING AND STORAGE |
|
|
|
Keep all equipment clean and work areas free from dust. Avoid excessive skin contact. Do not ingest or inhale. Personnel should be trained in the safe handling and proper use of this product.
Wash thoroughly after handling, especially before eating, drinking, smoking, and using restroom facilities.
Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area away from heat, ignition sources, and direct sunlight. Keep containers tightly closed. Protect from physical damage.
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Routine housekeeping should be instituted to ensure that dusts do not accumulate on surfaces. Dry powders can build static electricity charges when subjected to the friction of transfer and mixing operations. Provide adequate precautions, such as electrical grounding and bonding, or inert atmospheres. |

|
|
|
|
|
Product ingredients other than ingredients with established airborne exposure limits may be considered under the PEL for particulates not otherwise regulated (nuisance dust). |

The Health and Safety Executive (Great Britain) has set a rocommened exposure limit for powder coating products containing less than 5% (w/w) Triglycidyl Isocyanurate (TGIC) of 2 mg/m3 [Engineering Information Sheet No 15 (rev2] . This limit value is based on an occupational exposure limit for pure TGIC of 0.1 mg/m3, which differs from the ACGIH TLV given above. Using the ACGIH TLV for TGIC of 0.05 mg/m3 gives a recommended occupational exposure limit for powder coating products containing less than 5% (w/w) TGIC of 1mg/m3. Exposure limits for products containing less than 5% (w/w) or more can be calculated based on the upper TGIC percentage in section II. The formula to calculate limits is "5/(percent TGIC)=mg/m3." |

ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Provide ventilation to keep airborne particulate concentration below established airborne exposure limits (TLV's or PEL's). It is recommended that all dust controls handling this product be explosion proof, contain relief vents, or other commensurate measures. Ensure that dust-handling systems (such as exhaust ducts, dust collectors, vessels, and processing equipment) are designed in a manner to prevent the escape of dust into the work area (i.e., there is no leakage from the equipment). Ventilation equipment, baghouse, and cyclone dust collection should be grounded. Curing ovens and heating chambers should be properly vented to prevent any fumes from entering the workplace.
RESPIRATORS: Use a properly fitted NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator if needed to avoid breathing dust.
SKIN PROTECTION: Protective gloves & clothing recommended.
EYE PROTECTION: Goggles or safety glasses with side-shields recommended. |
