Material Safety Data September 1, 1972 , UNION CARBIDE CORPORATION 4625 ROYAL AVENUE NIAGARA FALLS, NEW YORK 14302 TELEPHONE: (716) 285-3311 EXT. 6567 PRODUCT: Chrysotile Asbestos TRADE NAMES: "Calidria" Asbestos CHEMICAL FORMULA: Mg6(0H)8Si4010 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. Material is not Combustible. No Fire or Explosion Hazard. INERT MATERIAL: No Decomposition or Polymerization Conditions. PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE TO AIRBORNE CONCENTRATION: The current standard of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 contains the following exposure limits: "The 8-hour time-weighted average airborne concentration of asbestos fibers to which employees are exposed shall not exceed 5 fibers per milliliter greater than 5 microns in length, as determined by the membrane filter method at 400-450X 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 per milliliter, longer than 5 microns." (Federal Register -- Vol. 37, June 7,1972, page 11320). EFFECTS OF OVER EXPOSURE: Prolonged over exposure may result in lung damage. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES: Not applicable. Material has no acute toxicity. 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 METHOD: . If reasonably foreseeable handling will not produce airborne concentrations in excess of exposure limits, no special procedures are required. When limits are likely to be exceeded, waste and scrap shall be collected and disposed of in impermeable sealed bags or other closed, impermeable containers, suitably labelled.
