| EXTINGUISHING
MEDIA: |
Dry

| UNUSUAL
FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS: |
Containers
of bronze ink contain combustible oils. When these
containers of bronze ink are exposed to excessive heat,
such as that emanating form a fire, there may be a
build-up of pressure within the container due to the
vaporization of oil contained therein, such that the
container may rupture or the lid may be blown off.
If this should occur, there is a possibility that the
combustible oil may ignite. |
| FIREFIGHTING
PROCEDURES: |
If
containers of bronze ink are exposed to excessive heat,
such as that emanating from a fire, it may be possible
to keep the containers cool by use of a water spray.
However, if this is attempted, extreme caution should
be used. If the lid is blown off or the container should
rupture, immediately discontinue use of the water spray. |
| SPECIAL
FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: |
NEVER
USE water or fire extinguishers containing halogenated
hydrocarbons to extinguish a fire involving bronze,
since it contains zinc. Burning zinc will react with
water to liberate hydrogen gas that will spread the
fire. Burning zinc may react with halogenated hydrocarbons
to form violent reactions. Use only an NFPA Class D
fire extinguisher equipped with a low velocity nozzle
and containing dry chemical to extinguish bronze ink
fire. Direct the fire extinguisher in such a manner
that the dry chemical will “rain down” over
the burning contents in the drum. If at some point
during the fire, the burning contents in the container
have the appearance of metal burning with a bright,
whitish glow, DO NOT attempt any further efforts to
extinguish the fire. If possible, sprinkle the burning
contents of the container with fine, moisture-free
sand to remove the source of oxygen. Allow the contents
to reach ambient temperature before making any attempts
to dispose of the burned contents. |

HEALTH HAZARD DATA
|
|
EFFECTS
OF OVEREXPOSURE:
|
Copper
metal is slightly toxic. Inhalation of copper or
copper/zinc alloy may cause acute irritation of
the nose and/or trachea; may produce acute gastroenteric
symptoms resulting in vomiting and/or inflammation
and/or may cause acute metal fume fever. Exposure
of skin to copper or copper/zinc alloy may cause
acute dermatitis. In the case of chronic exposure,
the liver, kidneys and/or spleen may be injured
and/or anemia may develop. Chronic toxicity is
confine to those persons suffering form pre-existing
Wilson’s Disease.
|
FOR
THE OFFSET INK VEHICLE:
|
The
upper respiratory may be exposed in situations where
a mist is present. Ingestion may be possible if materials
are not thoroughly removed by washing prior to eating
or drinking. Liquid material in contact with the
eyes and skin will cause irritation. The toxic effects,
if any, are unknown to the distributor at this time.
|
| MEDICAL
CONDITIONS PRONE TO AGGRAVATION BY EXPOSURE: |
The
following medical conditions may be aggravated by exposure
to copper or copper/zinc alloy:
| (A) |
Persons
afflicted with chronic respiratory disease
and/or impaired pulmonary functions, especially
those with obstructive airway diseases. |
| (B) |
Persons
afflicted with pre-existing liver disease. |
| (C) |
Persons
afflicted with pre-existing kidney disease. |
| (D) |
Persons
afflicted with pre-existing skin disorders. |
| (E) |
Persons
afflicted with pre-existing blood disorders. |
| (F) |
Persons
afflicted with pre-existing Wilson’s
Disease. |
|
| OFFSET
INK VEHICLE: |
The
medical conditions prone to aggravation by exposure
to this offset vehicle are unknown to the distributor
at this time. |
| PRIMARY
ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY: |
Dermal,
inhalation and ingestion. |
| EMERGENGY & FIRST
AID PRODECURES: |
SKIN
CONTACT: |
Immediately
wash with soap and water.
|
EYE
CONTACT: |
Immediately
flush with copious amounts of water and consult
a physician.
|
INGESTION: |
DO
NOT induce vomiting and consult a physician.

SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
|
|
STEPS
TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR
SPILLED:
|
Remove
all sources of ignition. Wear solvent resistant
gloves. Spread inert, absorbent material over spill
contents. Use non-sparking scoops and/or shovels
and deposit in a steel container for disposal.
|
WASTE
DISPOSAL:
|
Dispose
of in accordance with all local, state and federal
regulations.
|
7.
SAFE HANDLING & USE INFORMATION
|
|
RESPIRATORY
PROTECTION:
|
If
vapor concentrations are at or above the allowable
exposure limit, wear a NIOSH approved chemical
cartridge respirator that is suitable for organic
vapors. In confined areas or enclosed spaces or
where vapor concentrations could exceed 1000 PPM,
wear a self-contained breathing apparatus with
a full face piece.
|
| VENTILATION: |
Use
general dilution type which is adequate to keep vapor
concentrations below the TLV-TWA and PEL given sections
1 and LEL given in section 3. |
| PROTECTIVE
GLOVES: |
Wear
solvent-resistant type. |
| OTHER
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: |
Wear
chemical-resistant apron if a splash hazard exists. |
| HYGIENIC
PRATICES: |
Always
wash hands before eating, smoking, drinking or using
toilet facilities. |
8.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
|
PRECAUTIONS
TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING & STORAGE:
|
Avoid
spillage. Minimize breathing vapors. Store al drums
in a cool, dry area. DO NOT store near water, acids,
alkalies, oxidizing agents, halogenated hydrocarbons
or combustible materials.
|
| OTHER
PRECAUTIONS: |
Avoid
contact with heat, sparks and open flames DO
NOT smoke
in areas where containers are open. |

| FLAMMABILITY: |

| REACTIVITY: |
1 |
|
Hot
organic chemical vapors or mists are susceptible to
sudden spontaneous combustion when mixed with air.
Ignition may occur at temperatures below those published
in the literature as “autoignition” or “ignition” temperatures.
Ignition temperatures decrease with increasing vapor
volume and vapor/air contact time and are influenced
by pressure changes.
Ignition may occur at typical elevated temperature
process conditions, especially in processes operating
under vacuum
if subjected to sudden ingress of air or outside process
equipment operating under elevated pressure if sudden
escape of vapors or mists to the atmosphere occurs. Any
proposed use of this product in elevated-temperature
processes should be thoroughly evaluated to assure that
safe operating conditions are established and maintained.
The Hazardous Materials Identification System (HMIS)
has been included by Bowers Ink Company to provide
additional health and hazard classification information.
The ratings recommended are based on the criteria supplied
by the developer of the system, National Paint and Coatings
Association (NPCA), suppliers of Bowers Ink Company raw
materials and the interpretation of available data
by the Bowers Ink Company. |
