September 1,1976 UNION CARBIDE CORPORATION 4625 ROYAL AVENUE* NIAGARA FALLS, NEW YORK* J430Z TELEPHONE: (716) 278-3376 PRODUCT: Chrysolite Asbestos TRADE NAMES: "Calidria" Asbestos CHEMICAL FORMULA: Mge(OH)8Su010 I: PHYSICAL DATA BOILING POINT AND MELTING POINT: Not Pertinent SPECIFIC GRAVITY (H20-1): 2,45 VOLATILE CONTENT: Absorbed Water 1 - 4% By Weight. Structural Water Approximately 13% by Weight. APPEARANCE: Pellets or Fine White Powder. No odor. Very Slight Solubility in Water. Asbestos contains no hazardous ingredients. However, the material itself can be hazardous under certain conditions. {See V below.] NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL: No Fire or Explosion Hazard. ) INERT MATERIAL': No Decomposition or Polymerization Conditions. PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE TO AIRBORNE CONCENTRATION: The current Occupational Safety and Health Standard (CFR 29, 1910.1001] contains the following exposure limits: ' "The 8-hour time-weighted average airborne concentrations of asbestos fibers to which any employee maybe exposed shall not exceed 2 fihers, longer than 5 micrometers, per cubic centimeter of air, as determined by the membrane filter method at 400-450 X magnification (4 millimeter objective] phase contrast illumination. No employee shall be exposed at any time to airborne concentrations of asbestos fibers in excess of 10 fibers, longer than 5 micrometers, per cubic centimeter of air, as determined by the method just noted." EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE: CAUTION: Breathing asbestos may cause serious bodily harm. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES: No acute toxicity. Use respirator if airborne asbestos fiber concentration exceeds OSHA limits. VI;-vSPILLOR LEAKPROCEDURES STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Avoid inhalation of dust. Remove spilled material by vacuum cleaner or by water wash. WASTE DISPOSAL: Bags and waste and scrap materials should be disposed of in a manner which will avoid airborne concentrations of asbestos, such as the use of dust-tight trash bags or containers. Ensure that disposal complies with all applicable federal, state or local regulations.I I inion CarSida Corporation assumes no responsibilitv an-l makes no warrants'. essDre-sed or implied, repre- -------tment as to completeness, -- " , _.vided. 548 To: Executive Director Asbestos Information Association/North America 1745 Jefferson Davis Hwy.

Though asbestos is fairly common to ne earth's crust, not all deposits are of commercial alue. Because asbestos is fibrous and, in a certain ange of sizes, can enter the lungs, maximum care houid be taken to avoid exposure to asbestos dust .nd the hazards to health that can result. SENERAL PRECAUTIONS t all stages of handling -- packaging, transporting, inloading,' storing, and in-part moving --asbestos iber bags should be handled carefully and in such a nanner as to prevent damage of bags and the isneration of dust. )amaged bags should be immediately repaired, reealed or put into closed receptacles. Any spillage of .sbestos fiber should be cleaned up immediately -- tither by vacuum equipment or, after thoroughly netting, by sweeping -- and should be deposited in uitable closed receptacles. lonsult and observe OSHA regulations governing sbestos in the workplace; EPA rules on discharge o the ambient air; and other local codes, rules or sgulations controlling the handling and use of sbestos fiber. UNLOADING Unitized loads should be lifted intact to and from holds of ships, and off and on land transport by forklift trucks or other suitable handling equipment. Care should be taken to avoid puncturing the asbestos fiber bags during unloading from ships, rail road cars, trucks or other modes of transportation. Hooks or other sharp instruments should not be used. Loose fiber accumulated during transit should be picked up by vacuum cleaner before unloading. STORAGE . For storage, fiber bags should be stacked and moved with care to avoid breakage; protected from puncture by moving vehicles; and, if possible, should be isolated from traffic in the warehouse and covered to prevent dust generation. To prevent deterioration of stored bags, the principle of first-in, first-out should be followed. HANDLING Maximum possible enclosure and fully effective dust control.systems should be provided at all stages of in-plant handling where dust is created, such as in bag opening, fiber dumping and bag disposal oper ations. Loose fiber should be cleaned from work areas by vacuum cleaner, or after thoroughly wetting, by sweeping, and then deposited in covered recep tacles. PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Wearing of respiratory equipment approved for pro tection against asbestos dust should be required at all stages of asbestos fiber'handling where quantities of dust are generated which cannot be kept within the permissible exposure limits by dust control equip ment or other methods. TRANSPORT Where the use of asbestos requires the transport of loose fiber in open carts or buggies, covers should be used to prevent spilling and dust generation. WASTE MATERIALS Waste materials, such as collected dust and empty fiber bags, should be placed in special closed receptacles and disposed of in such a manner as to prevent the release of dust. Safety practices outlined above in the HANDLING and PROTECTIVE EQUIP MENT sections should be followed during these operations. All dust from exhaust systems should be collected and safely disposed of, being careful not to release dust into the outside air. Particular attention should be paid to the protection of employees whose job it is to dispose of collected dust from fabric filter dust collection and similar cleaning operations. 562 Should Know About Asbestos Lllhn In U .SA. N> 9 Q 0 a ~ a< 55 On<O o*< =r < S l! 2.2.3 c = a.
