Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
Combustible. Finely dispersed particles form explosive mixtures in air.
Advice for firefighters
Use powder, water spray, foam, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.
NFPA 704
| HEALTH | 1 | Exposure would cause irritation with only minor residual injury (e.g. acetone, sodium bromate, potassium chloride) | |
| FIRE | 2 | Must be moderately heated or exposed to relatively high ambient temperature before ignition can occur and multiple finely divided suspended solids that do not require heating before ignition can occur. Flash point between 37.8 and 93.3 °C (100 and 200 °F). (e.g. diesel fuel, sulfur) | |
| REACT | 0 | Normally stable, even under fire exposure conditions, and is not reactive with water (e.g. helium,N2) | |
| SPEC. HAZ. |
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal protection: complete protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.
Environmental precautions
Prevent further spillage or leakage if it is safe to do so. Do not let the chemical enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Collect and arrange disposal. Keep the chemical in suitable and closed containers for disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Adhered or collected material should be promptly disposed of, in accordance with appropriate laws and regulations.
Precautions for safe handling
NO open flames. NO contact with hot surfaces. Prevent deposition of dust. Closed system, dust explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Well closed. Separated from food and feedstuffs. See Chemical Dangers.

Disposal methods
ProductThe material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.

Other Information
Uses of this substance as ultra-fine particles (<100nm) (nanoparticles) may produce adverse effects at concentrations well below those indicated on this Card. Utmost care should be taken.Depending on the process of manufacture, there are variations in their chemical compositions.Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are reportedly present in some carbon blacks.Carbon blacks containing over 8% volatiles may pose an explosion hazard (see Physical Dangers).Most carbon black powders will not have a UN number, however, depending on the specification of the powder, possible UN numbers are: 1361, class 4.2, packing group I or II; or UN 1362, class 4.2, packing group III.The GHS classification will also vary according to the specification of the powder.
