Preparation Date 01/May/2015

Move victim to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. Administeroxygen if breathing is difficult. If breathing is difficult get medical attention.
l IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. Take off contaminated clothing andwash before reuse. If irritation develops and persists, get medical attention.
lPage 2 of 9

EyeIngestion

In case of contact with substance, immediately flush eyes with running water for atleast 20 minutes. Get medical attention.
DoNOT induce vomiting. Rinse mouth. Do not give anything by mouth to anl
unconscious person. Get medical attention.
l

4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayedl

Refer to Section 11 ­ Toxicological Information.

4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Notes to Physician

lAll treatments should be based on observed signs and symptoms of distress in thepatient. Consideration should be given to the possibility that overexposure to materials
other than this product may have occurred.

4.4 Other informationlCall 911 or emergency medical service. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of
the material(s) involved, take precautions to protect themselves and prevent spread ofcontamination.

Section 5 ­ Firefighting Measures

lGraphite will burn, giving off carbon dioxide and potentially carbon monoxide.

5.3 Advice for firefightersl

Wear positive pressure self­contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
Structural firefighters' protective clothing will only provide limited protection.
LARGE FIRES: Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk.

Section 6 ­ Accidental Release Measures
6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal Precautionsl

Do not touch or walk through spilled material.

Emergency Proceduresl

Use normal clean up procedures.

6.2 Environmental precautionsl

LARGE SPILLS: Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.

6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Containment/Clean­up
Measuresl

Carefully shovel or sweep up spilled material and place in suitable container.
Wash floor with soap and water.

6.4 Reference to other sections
lRefer to Section 8 ­ Exposure Controls/Personal Protection and Section 13 ­ DisposalConsiderations.

Section 7 ­ Handling and Storage
7.1 Precautions for safe handling
Preparation Date 01/May/2015

Page 3 of 9

Handlingl

Avoid accumulation of dust. Good housekeeping practices should be in place toprevent accumulation of dusts on surfaces. Do not use in areas without adequate
ventilation. Graphite is conductive and can cause short circuits and other electricalmalfunctions. Graphite causes slippery conditions. Wash thoroughly with soap andwater after handling and before eating, drinking, or using tobacco.

7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Storagel

Ventilate enclosed areas. Keep container closed.

lRefer to Section 1.2 ­ Relevant identified uses.

8.2 Exposure controls
Engineering
Measures/ControlslAdequate ventilation systems as needed to control concentrations of airborne
contaminants below applicable threshold limit values. All dust control equipment
should contain explosion relief vents or an explosion supression system or an oxygen­
deficient environment. Make sure that dust handling systems are designed to prevent
escape of dust into the work area and that they do not leak.

Personal Protective Equipment
Respiratoryl For limited exposure use an N95 dust mask. For prolonged exposure use an air­purifying respirator with high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters. Follow the OSHA
respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use aNIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if exposure limits areexceeded or symptoms are experienced.
Eye/Facel Wear protective eyewear (goggles, face shield, or safety glasses). Eye wash station
should be available.
Hands
l Wear protective gloves ­ cotton gloves.
Skin/Body
Environmental Exposure
Controlsll

Wear long sleeves and/or protective coveralls.
Controls should be engineered to prevent release to the environment, including
procedures to prevent spills, atmospheric release and release to waterways. Follow
best practice for site management and disposal of waste.
