Principle Routes of Exposure
Inhalation Contact with the eyes Contact with the skin Ingestion
Most important adverse effects
Inhalation: The non-use of respirator against dust or other similar mechanisms of protection during prolonged periods of exposure to the product, in environment little ventilated, can cause lung damage (pneumoconiose). Preexisting pulmonary disease may be aggravated conditions above.

Other physicochemical hazards
At room temperature the product does not decompose. When exposed to the air, it does not produce strong oxidations, is not corrosive and is not explosive. At temperatures above 550 °C in an oxidant atmosphere, the graphite is transformed into carbon dioxide. - Specific hazards: Since it is a slippery product it can cause people falls and vehicles skidding. As a good electricity conductor, it can provoke short circuits in electro/electronic equipment and electric networks. - Main symptoms: Not available Pag. 03/08 - Overview of emergencies: The medical treatment of overexposure should be conjugated with the symptoms and health conditions of the patient.
