SECTION 2—HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION<br />
Eyes: Can cause mechanical irritation. Particles imbedded in the eyes can cause<br />
inflammation, degeneration of tissue and discoloration.<br />
Skin: Repeated and prolonged exposure can cause irritation and dermatitis,<br />
mostly through mechanical abrasion. The toxic metal constituents are<br />
present as complex mixtures of oxides and are not generally released from<br />
the products or absorbed through skin.<br />
Ingestion: Ingested lead-containing dust can accumulate in the body and cause longterm<br />
damage to the nervous system, the brain and kidneys. Exposure to<br />
Lead has been linked to reproductive disorders and birth defects.<br />
Inhalation: Chronic (long term) exposure to inhalable Lead-containing dusts may<br />
cause health effects similar to that for ingestion. Exposure to dust can<br />
cause respiratory irritation, especially aggravating to pre-existing<br />
conditions and long-term inhalation of dust can result in lung damage.<br />

SECTION 3—COMPOSITION INFORMATION<br />
Lead Zirconate Titanate or Lead Magnesium Niobate-Lead Titanate.<br />
Rev. C<br />
These materials are complex oxide ceramics. The ceramics contain no discrete elemental<br />
metal or metal oxide components that may become chemically or biologically available<br />
during normal handling and use. The raw materials for these products include hazardous<br />
components. Lead and its compounds make up 70% by weight of the products, nickel and<br />
its compounds up to 5% by weight, and uranium and antimony and their compounds up to<br />
1% by weight.<br />
No specific hazard information is available on the dust that may be generated from these<br />
products during normal handling and use. Therefore, as a precautionary measure, these<br />
products should be treated as if their hazardous components were chemically or biologically<br />
available during normal handling and use. Lead may be leached from these products in<br />
neutral, acidic and alkaline aqueous solutions.<br />
SECTION 4—FIRST AID PROCEDURES<br />
Eyes: Flush with water. Seek medical attention if irritation continues.<br />
Skin: If irritation develops, wash exposed area with soap and water. Remove<br />
contaminated clothing and launder before re-use.<br />
Ingestion: No adverse effects requiring first aid are anticipated by this route of exposure<br />
in normal handling and use. However, if symptoms develop or persist, seek<br />
medical attention. In case of an acute ingestion, induce vomiting in a<br />
conscious individual and seek medical attention.<br />
Inhalation: In the case of acute exposure, remove individual to fresh air and seek medical<br />
attention if<br />
symptoms develop or persist.<br />

SECTION 5—FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES<br />
Specification<br />
MS-1379<br />
This product is not very combustible, but may burn if exposed to high temperatures.<br />
Flash<br />
Point:<br />
Not applicable. Flammable<br />
Limits:<br />
Not applicable.<br />
Extinguishing Media: Use CO2, sand, dry chemical or water to extinguish.<br />
Rev. C<br />
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Use protective clothing and self-contained breathing<br />
apparatus appropriate for the surrounding fire.<br />
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Metal Oxide fumes, vapor and/or dust may occur<br />
and are considered toxic and respiratory irritants.<br />
SECTION 6—ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES<br />
Clean area of spill, returning all material possible to container. Wear gloves, goggles and<br />
an appropriate NIOSH-approved respirator, if airborne concentrations exceed established<br />
exposure limits. Avoid creating, breathing and ingesting airborne dust. Use a vacuum with<br />
a high efficiency filters (HEPA). Do not broom, sweep or use compressed air for cleaning.<br />
SECTION 7—HANDLING AND STORAGE<br />
Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from strong acids and bases. Practice good<br />
housekeeping to avoid the accumulation of dust in the workplace and with the<br />
requirements set forth in the OSHA Lead Standard 29 CFR 1910.1025. Avoid creating and<br />
breathing airborne dust. Use a vacuum with a high efficiency filters (HEPA) if significant<br />
amounts of dust are created. Do not broom, sweep or use compressed air to blow off dust.<br />
Wash hands thoroughly after handling and do not eat or drink in areas where handled.<br />
SECTION 8—EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION<br />
Before using these products, be familiar with the OSHA Lead Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1025.<br />
Controlling exposures to dust to meet the lead permissible exposure limit (PEL) will ensure<br />
that the PELs for nickel, uranium and antimony will not be exceeded.<br />
