3. Hazardous Identification:

• Main Health Hazards:  Ink is irritating to eyes, skin and mucosa, acts depressively on central neural system.

• Hazardous characteristic: Inflammable liquid, violently reacts with oxidants, composes explosive mixtures with air.

4. First Aid

• Inhalation: Remove casualty to fresh air. In the case of shortness of breath apply artificial respiration.

• Skin Contact: Wash from skin using soap and water. If skin irritation persists, seek medical attention.

• Eye Contact: Flush thoroughly with water during several minutes. If soreness or redness persists, seek medical attention.

• Ingestion: Induce vomiting, encourage casualty to drink salted water. Do not provoke vomiting when injured person is unconscious. Seek medical advice.

5. Fire Fighting Measures

• Flammability: Product is classed as flammable.

• Combustion products: Oxides of Carbon. In the case of incomplete combustion when can appear carbon monoxide use breathing apparatus.

• Extinguishing media: In the event of a fire use CO₂, foam or dry powder extinguisher, vaporizing liquid.

• Supplementary information: Cool down neighboring cans containing ink using sprayed water.

6. Accidental Release Measure

• Eliminate sources of open fire (shut down open fire, forbid to smoke cigarettes and using sparking tools). Protect catch-pits against splashed ink. Avoid direct contact with diffused ink.

• Mop or soak up spillage's in absorbent material. Dispose of in accordance with Local Authority Regulations.

8. Handling and Storage

• Handling: Avoid prolonged skin contact. Wear gloves and safety glasses if splashing is likely. Smoking of cigarettes and using open fire is forbidden. Do not use sparking tools. Avoid static electricity.

• Fire Prevention: Avoid heat and sources of ignition

• Storage: Normal cool warehouse conditions. Keep in closed container. Do not store near oxidizing substances.

9. Physical and Chemical Properties (n.d.a = No data available)

10. Stability and Reactivity

• Chemical reactivity: Stable under normal conditions

• Decomposition products: Carbon Oxides

11. Toxicity (LD – Lethal Dose, LC – Lethal Concentration)

Highest permissible concentrations:

Odour threshold:

• 0.18 – 670 mg/m³ (ethyl acetate).

• Inhalation of ink’s vapors can cause nose, throat irritation, one is getting drowsy. Prolonged irritation brings headache, giddiness. Prolonged contact can cause skin irritation; skin is getting dry. Contact with eyes can cause strong irritation, inflammation of cornea. Ink consumption can cause stomach ache, depression, head ache. Big amount of swallowed ink can cause coma.

12. Ecologic data

Ethanol

Miscible in water. It evaporates from water surface. It is a low toxic liquid, considerably biodegradable. Fast oxidizes in water and on air in consequence of photochemical reactions.

• Strong toxicity for fish: LC50 = 1300 mg/liter/96h (rainbow trout)

• Strong toxicity for crustacean: n.d.a.

• Decrease in growth of algae: n.d.a.

• Decrease in growth of bacteria: n.d.a.

Ethyl acetate

In the systems containing oxidizing agents and salted water it biodegrades easily.
This product is classified as nearly non-toxic for water organism.

• Strong toxicity for fish: LC50 > 200 mg/liter/96h (rainbow trout)

• Strong toxicity for crustacean: LC50 > 700 mg/liter/48h

• Decrease in growth of algae: 550 mg/liter

• Decrease in growth of bacteria: 650 mg/liter

• Decrease in growth of protozoon: 650 mg/liter

13. Destruction and Neutralization

• Destruct ink by combustion in a specialized installation. Dispose of in accordance with Local Authority Regulations.

14. Transport Regulations

• Trade name: PJC Flex 50

• Transport hazard class (RID/ADR): Class 3, Position 3b

• Match mark: 33

• UN (ONZ) number: 1993

• Warning label: 3
