GHS Hazards
GHS Precautions
There are no GHS ratings that apply to this product at this time.
Notes to Physician: No specific antidote. Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the
clinical condition of the patient.
Titanium Dioxide 15 mg/m3 TWA (total dust) 10 mg/m3 TWA Not Established
13463-67-7
Carbon Black 3.5 mg/m3 TWA 3 mg/m3 TWA (inhalable NIOSH: 3.5 mg/m3 TWA;
1333-86-4 fraction) 0.1 mg/m3 TWA (Carbon
black in presence of
Polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons, as PAH)
Engineering Controls: General mechanical ventilation is sufficient for most conditions. Control airborne levels below the
exposure guidelines, if established.
Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations.
General Hygiene Considerations: Wash thoroughly after handling and before eating, drinking or smoking.
Eye/face Protection: Use chemical safety glasses, splash-proof eye goggles or goggles with full faceshield.
Skin Protection: Use nitrile or other impermeable chemical resistant gloves to prevent skin irritation. If potential for skin
contact is present, wear impervious, long-sleeved, body covering clothing and rubber boots.
Carcinogenicity: Titanium dioxide has been characterized by IARC as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2b) through
inhalation (not ingestion), based on lifetime inhalation studies of rats. The IARC's findings were consistent with the massive
accumulation of fine dust particles in the rat's lung (which overwhelm the natural lung clearance mechanisms, causing lung
overloading) and consequential pulmonary overload and inflammation that causes lung cancer. In further studies, these
tumors were found to occur only under particle overload conditions in a uniquely sensitive species, the rat, and have little or
no relevance for humans. Epidemiology studies on more than 20,000 workers do not suggest an increased risk of cancer in
humans from occupational exposure to titanium dioxide. If present in this product, the titanium dioxide is in a "wet out" form
and does not pose an inhalation hazard.
