HUNTSMAN <br />Enriching lives through innovation <br />MATERIAL SAFETY- DATA SHEET <br />MSDS CODE: BL4 Page 3 of 6 <br />Date Revised: 9/4/2014 <br />Prepared By: Nick Paris Reason for Revision: See Section 16 <br />Lower Explosive Limit (LEL): Will not explode <br />Auto -ignition Temperature: Exposure to excessive heat greater than 176°F (80°C) can cause the portion of Iron <br />Oxide Black contained in this product to slowly auto -oxidize, which generates <br />additional heat. Under certain conditions, this heat may be sufficient to cause the bag <br />or combustible materials stored nearby to ignite. <br />Extinguishing Media: This product is not combustible or flammable. Use extinguishing agents that are <br />suitable to the surrounding fire;water spray, dry chemical, foam or CO2 <br />Fire fighting Instructions: Firefighters should be equipped with self-contained breathing apparatus to protect <br />against potentially toxic and irritating fumes and smoke inhalation. <br />6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES <br />Small Spill: If dust is generated, use appropriate respiratory protection. Vacuum or scoop material into an <br />appropriately marked container for re -use or disposal. Avoid excessive generation of dust. <br />Large Spill: Use recommended protective clothing and respiratory protection. Use shovel to reclaim material. <br />Vacuum or scoop material into an appropriately marked container for re -use or disposal. Avoid <br />excessive generation of dust. Spill area can be washed with water. Collect wash water for approved <br />disposal. Prevent runoff from entering storm sewers and ditches which lead to natural waterways. <br />7. HANDLING AND STORAGE <br />Storage: Store dry at ambient temperature away from food and beverages, excessive heat or flame sources <br />(furnace, kilns, boilers etc.). Avoid breathing dust. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Wash thoroughly <br />after handling. <br />Handling: Avoid breathing dust. Avoid getting in eyes or on skin. Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid contact <br />with moisture. Re -seal bag immediately after use. Pallets are wrapped in polyethylene plastic. <br />Removal may cause an electrostatic spark; therefore removal of the wrap should not be in the <br />presence of flammable vapors. <br />Storage Temperature (Min/Max) ............................

EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION <br />Engineering Controls: Maintain air levels below the recommended exposure limit using exhaust ventilation if <br />necessary. <br />Eyes: Safety Glasses. <br />Skin: Body -covering clothing. Rubber, Plastic, Leather or cloth gloves are suggested to <br />facilitate personal hygiene. <br />Respiratory Protection: Workplace ambient dust concentrations should be monitored and if the recommended <br />exposure limit is exceeded, a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator with dust prefilter should <br />be worn. <br />Other: Emergency showers and eye wash stations should be available. Educate and train <br />employees in the safe use and handling of hazardous chemicals. <br />Work/Hygiene Practices: Employees should wash their hands and face before eating, drinking or using tobacco <br />products. <br />9.
