SECTION 2: Hazards identification
(29 CFR 1910.1200) Emergency Overview Physical State: Powder Color: Black Odor: Odorless CAUTION! May cause eye, skin and respiratory tract irritation. Processing may generate graphite dusts and fumes with the below listed potential health effects.
Potential health effects
Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation. Dust and fumes generated from the material can enter the body by inhalation. High concentrations of dust and fumes may irritate the throat and respiratory system and cause coughing. Frequent inhalation of fume/dust over a long period of time increases the risk of developing lung diseases. Eye Contact: Dust in the eyes will cause irritation. Exposed individuals may experience eye tearing, redness, and discomfort. Skin Contact: Dust may irritate skin. Ingestion: Ingestion of dusts generated during working operations may cause nausea and vomiting.
Potential chronic health
Prolonged and repeated overexposure to dust can lead to pneumoconiosis. Pre- existing pulmonary disorders, such as emphysema, may possibly be aggravated by prolonged exposure to high concentrations of graphite dusts. Target Organ(s): | Eye | Skin | Lung | Potential Physical / Chemical Effects: Bulk material is non-combustible. The material may form dust and can accumulate electrostatic charges, which may cause an electrical spark (ignition source). High dust levels may create potential for explosion.
