DOT CLASS - Not regulated by department of Transportation WHMIS CLASS (CANADA) NOT CONTROLLED   2. TYPICAL COMPOSITION HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS (Typical) Fluorides, as F 3.6% Crystalline silica (Quartz) 0.8% CAS# 14808-60-7 3. PHYSICAL DATA Melting Point - Not applicable Bulk Density, Loose - 60 - 90 lbs/ft3 Vapor Pressure, mm Hg - Not applicable Bulk Density, Tamped - 75 - 100 lbs/ft3 Solubility In Water - Negligible Specific Gravity (H2O=1) - 2.9 - 3.1 pH, 1% slurry - Not applicable Percent Volatile - Not applicable Appearance and Odor - Odorless brownish-black powder or granules 4. FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD INFORMATION Flash Point - Not applicable Flammable Limits - Not applicable Extinguishing Media - Use any extinguishing media required for surrounding fire. LEADX™ is non-flammable. When heated to temperatures above 1800F it may release small amounts of toxic and/or irritating phosphorus oxides and fluorides. Firefighters and emergency personnel should use self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. NFPA CODE 5. HEALTH INFORMATION LISTED IN: OSHA SUBPART Z ___ ACGIH TLV LIST ___ NTP LIST ___ IARC MONOGRAPH _X_ NONE OF THE ABOVE ___ OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit and ACGIH TLV - None established. Based on the amount of crystalline silica present, the OSHA PEL's are 3.6 mg/m3 as respirable dust and 10.7 mg/m3 as total dust. PRIMARY ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY - Lungs (breathing), ingestion (swallowing). Ingestion is unlikely. TOXICITY DATA - The international Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has reported there is "limited" evidence that crystalline silica (quartz, or common sand) may cause cancer in humans who have silicosis. They have classified it as a Group 2A Potential Carcinogen. Although LEADX® contains a small amount of quartz, extensive studies have shown no excess or unusual numbers of either silicosis or lung cancer cases in workers. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: SHORT TERM: May cause slight irritation of the skin, eyes, nose, or throat. Ingestion (swallowing) large amounts (over 1/2 pound) is very unlikely, but could cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach and abdominal pain due to the contained fluoride. LONG TERM: Long term exposures to concentrations higher than recommended Permissible Exposure Limits may have the potential to cause silicosis and/or lung cancer. See "Toxicity Data" above. 6. REACTIVE DATA STABILITY __ UNSTABLE _X_ STABLE CONDITIONS TO AVOID - Temperatures above 1800 F INCOMPATIBILITY (Materials to avoid) - Strong acids may cause release of toxic and irritating fluoride gases and phosphorous oxides. HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS - fluorides, phosphorous oxides. HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION ___MAY OCCUR _X_ MAY NOT OCCUR 7. SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: If uncontaminated, sweep up or collect, and reuse as product. If contaminated with other materials, handle as applicable for such other materials. WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Uncontaminated material can generally be disposed of by burial in an approved land disposal facility, in accordance, with applicable federal, state, and local regulations. Depending upon type and extent of contamination, if any, other disposal methods may be required by environmental regulatory agencies. 8. PERSONAL PROTECTION INFORMATION RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: A NIOSH-approved dust respirator should be used when exposure exceeds the recommended Permissible Exposure Limit. EYE PROTECTION: Tight-fitting goggles should be worn in dusty areas to reduce dust exposure to the eyes. VENTILATION: Local exhaust or other ventilation that will reduce dust concentrations to less than the recommended Permissible Exposure Limit. OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Optional. 9. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS OTHER PRECAUTIONS - None known 10. MANUFACTURER CONTACT INFORMATION CONTACT: Mgr.
