OSHA defined hazards Not classified. Label elements Hazard symbol None. Signal word None. Hazard statement The Material as sold in solid form is generally not considered hazardous. However, if the process involves grinding, melting, cutting or any other process that causes a release of dust or fumes, hazardous levels of airborne particulate could be generated. Precautionary statement Prevention Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. Wash thoroughly after handling. Response Call a physician if symptoms develop or persist. Storage Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. Disposal Dispose of contents/container in accordance with local/regional/national/international regulations. Hazard(s) not otherwise None known. classified (HNOC) Supplemental information None. Material name: Barium Fluoride (BaF2) targets SDS US 2GV Version #: 01 Issue date: 01-19-2018 1 / 6 3.

First-aid measures Inhalation Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Call a physician if symptoms develop or persist. Skin contact Wash off with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists. Eye contact Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists. Ingestion Rinse mouth. Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell. Most important May cause respiratory irritation. symptoms/effects, acute and delayed General information If you feel unwell, seek medical advice (show the label where possible). 5. Fire-fighting measures Suitable extinguishing media Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Unsuitable extinguishing media Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire. Specific hazards arising from During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed. the chemical Special protective equipment Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire. and precautions for firefighters Fire fighting Use water spray to cool unopened containers. equipment/instructions Specific methods Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials. General fire hazards No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted. 6. Accidental release measures Personal precautions, protective Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Wear equipment and emergency appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Avoid inhalation of dust. Ensure procedures adequate ventilation. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS. Methods and materials for Avoid dispersal of dust in the air (i.e., clearing dust surfaces with compressed air). Stop the flow of containment and cleaning up material, if this is without risk. Large Spills: Wet down with water and dike for later disposal. Shovel the material into waste container. Cover with plastic sheet to prevent spreading. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place into containers. Following product recovery, flush area with water. Small Spills: Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal. Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination. Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS. Environmental precautions Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. Material name: Barium Fluoride (BaF2) targets SDS US 2GV Version #: 01 Issue date: 01-19-2018 2 / 6 7. Handling and storage Precautions for safe handling Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid breathing dust. Avoid prolonged exposure. Do not taste or swallow. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Conditions for safe storage, Store locked up. Store in original tightly closed container. Store in a well-ventilated place. Store including any incompatibilities away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS). 8. Exposure controls/personal protection Occupational exposure limits US.

Appropriate engineering controls Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Control parameters Follow standard monitoring procedures. Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment Eye/face protection Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles). Skin protection Hand protection Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Suitable gloves can be recommended by the glove supplier. Other Wear suitable protective clothing. Use of an impervious apron is recommended. Respiratory protection In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Chemical respirator with organic vapor cartridge. Thermal hazards Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary. General hygiene considerations Keep away from food and drink. Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. 9.
