If inhaled:

Move the exposed person to fresh air. Seek medical attention if irritation or

symptoms persist.

In case of skin contact:{ }

- 4

- 7/31/14

Wash off immediately w ith soap and water. Remove and properly dispose of

contaminated clothing. Seek medical attention if irritation or symptoms persist.

In case of eye contact:

Rinse immediately with water for 15 minutes while holding eyelids open. Seek

medical attention if irritation or symptoms persist.

If swallowed:

Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth thoroughly.

Seek medical attention if irritation or symptoms persist.



### 5. Fire Fighting Measures

Extinguishing Media:

Water based sol ution is not expected to burn. Dry precipitate may burn and should

be extinguished using Carb on dioxide (CO2) dry chemical. Do not allow material to

enter sewers or drains.

Fire Hazards:

Bur ning produces irritating fumes.

Protective Equipment:

Wear su itable respiratory equipment when deemed necessary. Fire

- fighters should

wear self

- contained breathing apparatus for large fires.

Flash Point: N/A

.



### 6. 6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions:

When handling, use eye protection and Nitrile o r Latex based gloves

.

Environmental Precautions:

Do not allow product to enter sewer drai n s and waterways. Prevent further

spillage if safe to do so. Advise local authorities if large spills cannot be contained.

Clean Up Methods:

Mop up spills with a water/detergent mix. Clean spill area thoroughly with plenty of

water. Spill waste should be sealed inside a strong plastic bag for disposal via

incineration.



### 7. Handling and Storage

Handling:

Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Ensure adequate venti lation of the working area.

Adopt best Manual Handling considerations when handling, carrying and{ }

- 7/31/14

dispensing.

Storage:

Keep in a cool, dry, well ventilated area. Keep containers tightly closed. Store in

properly labeled contai ners. Avoid contact wi th strong acids or bases.



### 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Though no e xposu re limits are established, we recommended following the “ NIOSH

Current In telligence Bulletin 65: Occupational Exposure to Carbon Nanotubes and

Nanofibers” which states a Recommended E xposure Limit (REL) of 1 .0ug/m3 in air

for Elemental Carbon via NIOSH Method 5040.

Engineering Measures: Use l ocal exhaust ventilation or respiratory protection

where deemed necessary. If creating a mist, vapor or aerosol, use of enclosed and

exhausted environment should be used.

Respiratory Protection:

Wear a suitable respirator if deemed necessary

.

Hand Protection:

Wear nitrile or latex based gloves

.

Eye Protection:

Approved safety goggles. Safety glasses.

### 11. Toxicological Information

Toxicological Information:

The hazards associated with carbon nanotubes have not yet been fully establish ed.

However, NIOSH recommends a REL of <1.0 ug/m3 of Elemental Carbon via

NIOSH Method 5040.

General Information

No quantitative data are available for carbon nanotubes. Based on information for

similar materials:

Repeated Or Prolonged Exposure

There is some evidence from experimental studies that inhalation of carbon

nanotubes may cause inflammation of the lungs and that this may lead to lung

fibrosis. There is some evidence that carbon nanotubes of particular dimensions

may behave in the same way as ot her fibrous materials of similar dimensions and

cause adverse health effects in the mesothelium.



### 12. Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity:

There is no data on the Ecotoxicity of this product.

12.1. Toxicity

No data available

12.2. Persistence and d egradability

No data available.

12.3. Bioaccumulative potential

No data available on bioaccumulation.

12.4. Mobility in soil

The p roduct has good mobility in soil.

12.5. Results of PBT and vPvB assessment

12.6. Other adverse effects

None known.



### 13. Disposal Considerations

General Information:

 Dispose of i n compliance with all local, national and international regulations.

 Material is not to be discharged into US or International w aterways.

 Materia l should not be allowed to enter any sewer drain system.

 In the European Union, carbon nanotube waste material should be classified and

coded as hazardous waste.

 Based on current information, high temperature incineration in a hazardous

waste incinerat or is the preferred disposal method. Pyrolysis above 500°C will

oxidize CNTs completely.
