FLAMMABILITY LIMITS-LEL: N/A UEL:N/A
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water spray, foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Avoid eye and skin contact. Do not breathe fumes or
inhale vapors.
UNUSUAL FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Irritating fumes and organic acid vapors may
develop when material is exposed to elevated temperatures or open flame
-----------------------------------------------HEALTH HAZARD---------------------------------------------MODE OF ENTRY:
INHALATION: Inhalation of dust or particulates will irritate the respiratory tract.
SKIN CONTACT: May produce irritation or contact dermatitis which may be delayed several
hours. Prompt and thorough washing with soap and water will reduce or dliminate potential dermal
effects.
EYE CONTACT: May cause immediate or delayed severe yee irritation
INGESTION: N/A
1
CHRONIC TOXICITY: Exposure to dust or fumes of organic lead compounds is known to
cause toxic effects. Lead is a cumulative poison.
CARCINOGENCITY:
NTP: No
IARC: No
OSHA: No
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
INHALATION: Lead is a cumulative poison. Whereas most ingested lead is eliminated by the
body, inhaled lead compounds are absorbed by the respiratory tract and symptoms of lead poisoning may
develop quickly. The most common type of lead poisoning is alimentary which is characterized by
abnormal pain and discomfort. Other complaints are diarrhea, metallic taste, nausea, vomiting, headache
and dizziness.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
INHALATION: Move exposed individual to fresh air. Administer oxygen if needed. Call a
physician..
SKIN CONTACT: Flush with water, then wash with soap and water
EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes, including under eyelids, with large amounts of water
for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician.
INGESTION: Never give fluids or induce vomitng if patient is unconscious or having
convulsions. Get medical attention. Physician note: Diagnostic mobilization of lead with calcium
EDTA may be useful in questionable cases.
-----------------------------------------------REACTIVITY DATA-------------------------------------------STABILITY: Stable.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Material decomposes slowly in contact with air by reaction with water
and carbon dioxide.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Organic acid vapors and lead oxide fumes.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: None
---------------------------------ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION-------------------------------SPILL OR LEAKAGE PROCEDURES: May be hazardous to aquatic life if released to open waters.
Sweep material and transfer to a suitable container for disposal.
WASTE DISPOSAL: Dispose of as solid waste. Foloow all chemical pollution control regulations.
----------------------------------PROTECTION AND PRECAUTIONS-------------------------------VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS: Local exhaust. Mechanical is recommended.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: If exposure exceeds TLV, NIOSH approved dust and mist
respirator.
EYE AND FACE PROTECTION: Chemical worker’s goggles. Do not wear contact lenses.
OTHER CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT: Rubber, neoprene or nitrile gloves. An eyewash and
emergnecy shower should be available. Launder clothing before reuse.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: No special precautions necessary. To minimize exposure handle the
material in an efficient fume hood. Store in sealed containers.
