Storage temperature: Ambient Storage pressure: Atmospheric Keep container or bottles tightly closed. Loosen closure cautiously before actually opening. Store in a cool and well ventilated place away from incompatible materials (See Stability and Reactivity Section 5). Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Protect the material from direct sunlight. Gound and bond containers when transferring material from one container to another. Empty containers may retain some or all of the hazardous properties. Follow all MSDS label warnings even after container is emptied.
General: This product is stable and hazardous polymerization will not occur. Incompatible Materials and Conditions to Avoid: Strong oxidizers
Emergency Overview Repeated exposure to high vapor concentrations may cause irritation of the respiratory system and nervous system damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents can be harmful or fatal. Ingestion Harmful if swallowed. Eye Contact May cause moderate skin irritation. Skin Contact May cause moderate skin irritation. Other Skin Contact The components of this product are not expected to be absorbed through the skin. Inhalation Vapors and mists generated from this product may be harmful if inhaled. Dusts generated from sanding and grinding on surfaces coated with this product may be harmful if inhaled. Special attention should be paid to this paragraph for SEM lab applications since mounts are often times "ground down" by grinding and/or polishing, leaving the graphite particles in the grinding/polishing media. Should the media dry out, and then disturbed, the dust could create an inhalation hazard. Chronic This product contains graphite which can accumulate in lung tissue after long-term exposure to the dust. The potential for such exposure from the use of this product is very limited.
Engineering Controls: Provide sufficient mechanical ventilation to maintain exposure below TLV(s). Overexposures to vapors and mists may be prevented by ensuring ventilation controls. Local exhaust and/or fresh air entry. NIOSH/MSHA Sechedule TC-23C air purifying or a Schedule TC-19C air supplied respirator may also be used to reduce exposures. Read the manufacturer's instructions and literature carefully to determine the types of airborne contaminants(s) against which the respirator is effective and how it is to be properly fitted. Eye Protection Vapor tight chemical-type splash goggles should be worn when the possibility exists for eye contact due to splashing or spraying or liquid or the generation of airborne particles or vapors. Skin Protection Wear protective clothing, including an impermeable apron or disposable suit and gloves. This protective equipment should be constructed of material(s) which are appropriate to prevent contact with the chemicals listed in the ingredient section of the MSDS. Of course for the typical SEM application, for which this product has been specially formulated, the usual package is the small bottle with brush applicator top. Careful use of this product, as the product package was designed to be used, should be a pretty safe kind of activity in part because of the very small quantities involved and also the short time period for which the brush applicator top if off the bottle. Care should be taken to not "dribble" down the sides of the bottle any of the product, and if that should happen, then such product on the outside label should be cleaned off with a SPI Lint Free Cotton wiper (or equivalent). Wipers so contaminated should be disposed of according to institutional practices and policies.
Ingestion: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting Skin contact If excessive skin contact with this product occurs, flush immediately with plenty of water, followed by washing with soap and water. If clothing is contaminated with the product, remove clothing, and wash thoroughly to remove all signs of the black product before wearing. If the product residues persist, disposed of such contaminated clothing. Eye contact If this product is splashed into the eyes, flush eyes immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Inhalation If excessive amounts of vapors or mists from this product are inhaled, remove to fresh air. Apply artificial respiration and other supportive measures as required. Consult a pioson center, emergency room or long specialist for additional information and guidance.
Flash point and method: 52° F/11° C Pensky-Martens Closed Cup Flammable limits: 12.0 - 2.0 General hazard: This is a flammable/combustible material and could be ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Container may explode in heat or fire. Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. We do not belive such hazards are very likely when the product is in the small brush applicator cap and bottle. Fire Small fire fighting instructions: Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or alcohol-resistant foam. Do not use dry chemcial extinguishers to control fires involving nitromethane or nitroethane. Large fire fighting instructions: Water spray, fog or alcohol-resistant foam. These instructions would be more applicable to wholesale bulk purchasers of SPI Carbon Paint suspension. General fire fighting instructions: Move container from fire area if you can do it without risk. Apply cooling water to sides of containers that are exposed to flames until well after fire is out. Stay away from ends of tanks. For massive fire in cargo area, use unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, then withdraw from area and let fire burn. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or any discoloration of tank due to fire. We believe this is not of much importance to uses of the little bottles of SPI Carbon Paint with brush applicator caps. Firefighting equipment: Positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and structural firefighter's protective clothing will provide limited protection. Hazardous combustion or decomposition products: Oxides of carbon
Spills: Shut off ignition sources. There should be absolutely no flares, smoking, or flames in hazard area. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Water spray may reduce vapor, but it may not prevent ignition in closed spaces. Isolate area until gas has dispersed. Small spills: Take up with sand other noncombustible absorbent material and place into containers for later disposal according to all local, state and federal regulations. Large spills: Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal according to all local, state, and federal regulations.
CAS Ingredients: Not available
Exotoxicity: Exotoxicity is expected to be low based on the relatively tiny amounts used in each product put up. Environmental Fate: No information found in our selected references. Bioaccumulation: Not expected to occur.
This material is NOT classified as a hazardous material by RCRA. Use only licensed transporters and permitted disposal facilities and conform to all laws. Recycle to process, if possible. Care must be taken to prevent environmental contamination from the use of this material. The user of this material has the responsibility to dispose of unused materials, residues and containers in compliance with all relevant local, state and federal laws and regulations regarding treatment, storage and disposal for hazardous and nonhazardous wastes.

California Prop. 65:
Proposition 65 requires manufacturers or distributors of consumer products
into the State of California to provide a warning statement if the product
contains ingredients for which the State has found to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. If this product contains an ingredient
listed by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity,
it will be listed below:
No such materials found in this product.
If this product should be used in ways that are outside of the intended
applications in scanning electron microscope laboratories, and if it is
going to be formulated into some other system, so that it becomes just
another component of that other system, read the MSDS sheets for the other
components before blending as the resulting mixture may have the hazards of
all of its parts.
