Description of first aid measures If this product comes in contact with eyes: Wash out immediately with water. Eye Contact If irritation continues, seek medical attention. Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel. If skin or hair contact occurs: Skin Contact Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available). Seek medical attention in event of irritation. If fumes, aerosols or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area. Inhalation Other measures are usually unnecessary. Immediately give a glass of water. Ingestion First aid is not generally required. If in doubt, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor. 4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed See Section 11 4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Treat symptomatically. SECTION 5 FIREFIGHTING MEASURES 5.1. Extinguishing media Sand, dry powder extinguishers or other inerts should be used to smother dust fires. 5.2. Special hazards arising from the substrate or mixture Fire Incompatibility Avoid contamination with oxidising agents i.e. nitrates, oxidising acids, chlorine bleaches, pool chlorine etc. as ignition may result 5.3. Advice for firefighters Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. Wear full body protective clothing with breathing apparatus. Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water course. Use water delivered as a fine spray to control fire and cool adjacent area. Fire Fighting Avoid spraying water onto liquid pools. DO NOT approach containers suspected to be hot. Cool fire exposed containers with water spray from a protected location. If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire. High temperature decomposition products include silicon dioxide, small amounts of formaldehyde, formic acid, acetic acid and traces of silicon polymers. These gases may ignite and, depending on circumstances, may cause the resin/polymer to ignite. An outer skin of silica may also form. Extinguishing of fire, beneath the skin, may be difficult. Fire/Explosion Hazard Combustible. Slight fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame. Heating may cause expansion or decomposition leading to violent rupture of containers. On combustion, may emit toxic fumes of carbon monoxide (CO). May emit acrid smoke. Continued... Page 3 of 12 846 Carbon Conductive Grease Mists containing combustible materials may be explosive. Combustion products include: carbon dioxide (CO2) silicon dioxide (SiO2) other pyrolysis products typical of burning organic material. CARE: Water in contact with hot liquid may cause foaming and a steam explosion with wide scattering of hot oil and possible severe burns. Foaming may cause overflow of containers and may result in possible fire. A fire in bulk finely divided carbon may not be obviously visible unless the material is disturbed and sparks appear. A straw broom may be useful to produce the disturbance. Explosion and Ignition Behaviour of Carbon Black with Air Lower Limit for Explosion: 50 g/m3 (carbon black in air) Maximum Explosion Pressure: 10 bar Maximum Rate of Pressure Rise: 30-100 bar/sec Minimum Ignition Temperature: 315 deg. C. Ignition Energy: >1 kJ Glow Temperature: 500 deg. C. (approx.) Notes on Test Methods: Tests 1, 2 and 3 were conducted by Bergwerkeschaftliche Versuchstrecke, Dortmunde-Derne, using a 1 m3 vessel with two chemical igniters having an intensity of 5000 W.S. Tests 1 and 2 results are confirmed by information in the Handbook of Powder Technology, Vol. 4 (P. Field) In Test 4, a modified Godbert-Greenwald furnace was used. See U.S. Bureau of Mines, Report 5624, 1960, p.5, 'Lab Equipment and Test Procedures'. Test 5 used a 1 m3 vessel with chemical igniters of variable intensity. Test 6 was conducted in a laboratory oven. Active glowing appeared after 3 minutes exposure.

Environmental precautions See section 12 6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up Environmental hazard - contain spillage. Remove all ignition sources. Clean up all spills immediately. Avoid breathing vapours and contact with skin and eyes. Minor Spills Control personal contact with the substance, by using protective equipment. Contain and absorb spill with sand, earth, inert material or vermiculite. Wipe up. Place in a suitable, labelled container for waste disposal. Environmental hazard - contain spillage. Silicone fluids, even in small quantities, may present a slip hazard. It may be necessary to rope off area and place warning signs around perimeter. Clean up area from spill, with suitable absorbant, as soon as practically possible. Final cleaning may require use of steam, solvents or detergents. Moderate hazard. Clear area of personnel and move upwind. Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves. Major Spills Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water course. No smoking, naked lights or ignition sources. Increase ventilation. Stop leak if safe to do so. Contain spill with sand, earth or vermiculite. Collect recoverable product into labelled containers for recycling. Absorb remaining product with sand, earth or vermiculite. Collect solid residues and seal in labelled drums for disposal. Wash area and prevent runoff into drains. If contamination of drains or waterways occurs, advise emergency services. 6.4. Reference to other sections Personal Protective Equipment advice is contained in Section 8 of the SDS. SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE 7.1. Precautions for safe handling NOTE: Wet, activated carbon removes oxygen from the air thus producing a severe hazard to workers inside carbon vessels and in enclosed or confined spaces where activated carbons might accumulate. Before entry to such areas, sampling and test procedures for low oxygen levels should be undertaken; control conditions should be established to ensure Safe handling the availability of adequate oxygen supply. Avoid all personal contact, including inhalation. Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs. Use in a well-ventilated area. Continued... Page 4 of 12 846 Carbon Conductive Grease Prevent concentration in hollows and sumps. DO NOT enter confined spaces until atmosphere has been checked. Avoid smoking, naked lights or ignition sources. Avoid contact with incompatible materials. When handling, DO NOT eat, drink or smoke. Keep containers securely sealed when not in use. Avoid physical damage to containers. Always wash hands with soap and water after handling. Work clothes should be laundered separately. Use good occupational
