Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Inhalation: Take affected persons into fresh air. If necessary, restore normal breathing
through standard first aid measures.

Skin Contact: Wash skin with mild soap and water. If symptoms develop, seek medical
attention.

Eye Contact: Rinse eyes thoroughly with large volumes of water keeping eyelid open. If
symptoms develop, seek medical attention.

Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If conscious, give several glasses of water. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing Media
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Foam, carbon dioxide (CO2), dry chemical, nitrogen (N2), or water fog. A fog
spray is recommended if water is used.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use high-pressure water stream as this may spread burning powder
(burning powder will float and may spread fire).

Special hazards arising from the substance or
mixture
Products of combustion include carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2),
and oxides of sulphur.
It may not be obvious that carbon black is burning unless the material is stirred
and sparks are apparent. Carbon black that has been on fire should be
observed closely for at least 48 hours to ensure no smouldering material is
present.

Advice for fire-fighters: Wear full protective fire fighting gear (Bunker gear) including self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA). Wet carbon black produces very slippery walking
surfaces.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and
emergency procedures:
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment and respiratory protection as
required in Section 8 of the safety data sheet. NOTE: Wet carbon black
produces very slippery walking surfaces.

Environmental precautions: Carbon black poses no significant environmental hazards. As a matter of good
practice, minimize contamination of sewage water, soil, groundwater, drainage
systems, or bodies of water.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning
up:
Small spills should be vacuumed when possible. A vacuum equipped with HEPA
(high efficiency particulate air) filtration is recommended. Dry sweeping is not
recommended. If necessary, light water spray will reduce dust for dry sweeping,
but over-wetting may produce very slippery walking surfaces. Large spills may
be shovelled into containers.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:

Avoid dust exposures above the occupational exposure limit. Use local exhaust
ventilation or other appropriate engineering controls to maintain exposures
below occupational exposure limit. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If exposed,
wash to avoid mechanical irritation and soiling. Dust may cause electrical shorts
if capable of penetrating electrical equipment. Ensure equipment is tightly
sealed. If hot work (welding, torch cutting, etc.) is required the immediate work
area must be cleared of carbon black product and dust.
Some grades of carbon black are sufficiently electrically non-conductive and
may allow a build-up of static charge during handling. Take measures to prevent
the build up of electrostatic charge, such as ensuring all equipment is electrically
grounded/earthed.

Conditions for safe storage, including any
incompatibilities:

Store in a dry place away from ignition sources and strong oxidizers. Before
entering closed vessels and confined spaces containing carbon black test for
adequate oxygen, flammable gases and potential toxic air contaminants (e.g.,
CO). Follow standard safe practices when entering confined spaces.
Incompatible with strong oxidisers.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Use process enclosures and/or exhaust ventilation to keep airborne dust
concentrations below the applicable occupational exposure limit. Emergency
eyewash and safety shower should be in close proximity as a matter of good
practice.

Safety glasses or goggles recommended as a matter of good practice.

Wear general protective clothing to minimize skin contact. Work clothes should
not be taken home and should be washed daily. No special glove composition is
required for carbon black. Gloves may be used to protect hands from carbon
black soiling. Use of a barrier cream may help to prevent skin drying. Wash
hands and other exposed skin with mild soap and water.

Approved air-purifying respirator (APR) for particulates should be used where
airborne dust concentrations are expected to exceed occupational exposure
limits. Use a positive-pressure, air supplied respirator if there is any potential for
uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or in circumstances where
APRs may not provide adequate protection. Use of respirators must include a
complete respiratory protection program in accordance with national standards
and current best practices

Stability and reactivity

May react exothermically on contact with strong oxidisers. The substance is stable under normal ambient and anticipated storage and handling conditions of temperature and pressure.

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods:

Product can be burned in suitable incineration plants or disposed of in a
suitable landfill in accordance with the regulations issued by the appropriate
federal, provincial, state and local waste management laws.
