Use appropriate respirator for protection against poss&e exposure to CO or COr it may not be obvious that the carbon black is burning unless the material Is stirred and sparks are apparent Explosion Data The National Electrical Code (NEC) is derived from NFPA Standard 70, and is referenced in the OSHA regulations. Under the NEC, Chapter 5, Article 500-3, carbon blade dusts are tnduded under FPN No. f 4, Group F dusts if they contain "more than 8% total volatile matter*. Carbon black dusts containing less than 8% total volatile matter are not considered to present explosion hazards. CABOT carbon blacks are well below 8% total volatile matter. Section v - Health Hazard Data Effects of Exposure: inhalation Acute None expected. Temporary discomfort to the upper respiratory tract may occur due to inhalation of dust con centrations above the Threshold Limit Value (TLV). Chronic Carbon black contains less than 0.1% of adsorbed polynuclear aromatic compounds (PNA). In non-adsorbed form, some PNA's have been found to be carcinogens In certain studies. No carcinogenic effect, however, has been found in humans due to exposure to carbon black. Carbon black is not considered a car cinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the Occuptionat Safety and Health Administration (OSHA}. or the National Toxicology Program (NTP). Epidemiologic studies of workers in the carbon black producing industry in the U.S. and W. Europe show no significant adverse health effects due to occupational exposure to carbon black. Some studies in the USSR and E. Europe report respiratory diseases, including: bronchitis, pneumoconiosis, emphysema and rhinitis among some workers. Such studies are of questionable validity due to inadequate study design and methodology. lack of appropriate controls for cigarette smoking and other confounding factors, such as carbon monoride, coal oil and petroleum vapors. Moreover, review of these studies indi cates that the concentration of carbon black was substantially greater than OSHA recommended levels. a a nr mC 077 1C70 Done TT02SSTZ 03/18/92 14:11 0218 933 1878 BFG C.V. PURKS @004 Section V (Continued) PAGE 91-01-3 Chronic inflammation, lung fibrosis, and lung tumors have been found in preliminary studies In rats experi mentally exposed, for long periods of time, to excessive concentrations of carbon black and other Insoluble dust particles which overwhelm the bog clearance mechanisms. The researchers who conducted these tests believe that these conditions most likely result from the massive accumulation of small dust particles in the lung, the "dust overload phenomenon*, rather than from a specific chemical effect of the dust parttctesi Such effects occur only when the lungs are overloaded with an excess of small particles-They are unRkely to result from workplace exposures to carton black at or below the TLV. Human studies have not found that workplace exposures to carton blade at or below the Ttv cause these effects. * ' * Effects of Exposure: Skin Acute None significant. See Section VUM-iygienic Practices. Primary Route of Entry inhalation Chronic None significant First Aid Procedures For inhalation discomfort, move victim to fresh air. Medical Conditions Prone to Aggravation by Exposure None expected. Carton black, Eke any nuisance dust, may aggravate certain pre-existing upper respiratory disorders, such as bronchitis or asthma. Stability Stable Section Vi - Reactivity Data Hazardous Polymerization Not Applicable Hazardous Decomposition Products Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and small amounts of sulfur containing gases when burning. Conditions to Avoid Excessive heat or flame. May react upon contact with strong oxidizers such as chlorates, bromates and nitrates. Section VII -SpHI or Leak Procedures Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled Carbon black is not a hazardous waste under U-S- Federal RCRA Regulation. Wear NIOSH approved Dust Protection Respirator, if needed. Spills should be removed by vacuuming, or spraying wah water and sweep ing mixture into a suitable container. Waste Disposal Method Bum or bury In accordance with Federal. State and focal laws and regulations. 1552012 MAR 18 '92 14:27 216 933 1679 PAGE.004 03/18/92 14:12 216 933 1678 BFG C.V. PURRS @005 P*CS 91-0. -4 ___ _ :I The trade name substances BLACK PEARLS, ELFTEX, MOGUL, CSX, MONARCH, REGAL, STER LING, VULCAN, and CRX are names for CABOTcarbon Hacks, and are registered trade names of Cabot Corporation. Carbon black. CAS No. 1333-86-4 appears on the TSCA inventory (U.S.), EINECS (Europe}. AlCS (Australia). CEPA (Canada), and MlTl (Japan) as achemical ofcommerce in these jurisdictions. Carbon black does not contain substances identified under SARA, Title Hi, Section 302, as extreme^ hazardous, orunder Section 313 as atoxic chemical. Carbon black must be reported as a hazardous chemical on TierI and Tier 11 reports, under SARASections 311/312, ff the threshold quantity of 1 a.000 lbs is exceeded annually. Special Skipping Information The Intergovernmental Maritime Consultative Organization (IMCO) does classify carbon black as a "hazard ous cargo" for the purposes of shipping, unless the shipment is accompanied by a statement that the carbon blacks contained in it are not subject to the IMCO code provisions for hazard class 4.2 because they pass the test for non-activated carbons described on page 4082-1 - All CABOT carbon blacks pass this IMCO test and may be shipped with this disclaimer. The Bureau of Explosives of the Association of American Railroads has ruled it is unnecessary to classify car bon black as hazardous under DOT regulations. Carbon Hack is moved as a non-hazardous material by rail. The information set fonh above is based on informawn which Cabot Corporation believes to be accurate.
