Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Treat symptomatically. Get medical

attention.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at

least 15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.

Emergency measure - Skin: Wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Wash off with soap

and water.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Only induce vomiting at the instruction of medical

personnel. Call a physician or poison control center

immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious

person.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water spray, carbon dioxide (CO2), dry chemical

Product arising from burning: Carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, and sulphur oxides

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective

clothing. Fire or excessive heat may produce hazardous

decomposition products.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Collect up and put in a suitable container. Avoid generation

of dust. Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual

contamination.

Handling and storage

Handling: Avoid breathing dust. Do not get in eyes and avoid contact

with skin and clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation. Wash

thoroughly after handling.

Storage: Keep away from sources of ignition. Keep from contact with

oxidizing materials. Keep container closed.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: This substance will be imported as a 0.1-5.0%

component in water based ink mixtures.  These

mixtures will be imported in < 1,000-mL quantities

in plastic bottles or cartridges packaged in

cardboard boxes.

In addition, a ~5% mixture of the substance in water will be

imported in 200-kg (50-gallon) drums.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: Fire or high temperatures may cause decomposition.

Dust may form explosive mixture in air.

Chemical reaction with water: This substance is water soluble.

Dust explosion: There are no data or experience indicating this

substance presents a dust explosion hazard; however

no testing has been conducted to characterize its

dust explosibility properties.  Fines of this

substance, like those of many organic dusts, may be

capable of forming explosible dust clouds in air.

Minimize dust generation and accumulation.  Keep away

from sources of ignition.  Use adequate ventilation.

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: It is not practical to recover or recycle the substance.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: It is not practical to neutralize the substance.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not recommended.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: A temperature of 1000 degrees C is expected

to be sufficient to destroy the substance.

Hazardous Combustion Products:  Carbon oxides, nitrogen

oxides, and sulphur oxides,

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The predicted environmental concentrations (PECs) for each

compartment at the continental, regional, and local spatial

scales were calculated using EUSES and the methods described

in the TGD.  Local site-specific information was used to

configure EUSES to estimate local emissions. Site-specific

information used to configure the local sewage treatment

plant (STP) and receiving water body is presented below

Effluent discharge rate of STP:   4.32 x 10^8 L/day

Flow rate of river:               8.64 x 10^8 L/day

Other substance and site-specific information used by the

EUSES program to calculate emissions are presented below:

The fate of a substance in a communal sewage treatment plant

is modeled using a non-equilibrium, steady-state box model,

known as SIMPLETREAT.  In EUSES a revised version of this

model, SIMPLETREAT 3.0, is employed,.  The fate of the

substance as modeled by SIMPLETREAT is presented in the

table below:

Fate of substance in local STP

Emission

Fraction of emission directed to air     9.02E-13

Fraction of emission directed to water   98

Fraction of emission directed to sludge  1.99

Fraction of emission degraded            0

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: None

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: No anticipated direct release to environment.

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: No anticipated direct release to environment.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: No anticipated direct release to environment.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - incineration: No anticipated direct release to environment.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - water purification: No anticipated direct release to environment.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - others: The environmental releases of the substance during

relevant life-cycles were estimated using default

release factors and industry information from the EU

Technical Guidance Document (TGD).  Estimated emissions

were based upon the maximum Level VIIB imported tonnage

of 1 tpa.  The substance will be imported as product

units prepared for customer use, therefore environmental

release from production and formulation activities will

not occur.  It is expected that environmental releases,

if any, would result from discarding contaminated

product containers.
