MSDS Safety Information for Barytes
===========================================================================

1. IDENTIFICATION OF THE SUBSTANCE/PREP. AND THE COMPANY
PRODUCT NAME: BARIUM SULFATE, BARITE, BARYTES
MANUFACTURER'S NAME: CHHAVI MICROFINE PRODUCTS (MLA GROUP)
ADDRESS: 111/230, HARSH NAGAR, KANPUR-208012 (U.P.), INDIA
TELEPHONE NO.: 91-512-3299383

2. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
CHEMICAL NAME: Barium Sulfate (Blanc fix) PRODUCTS NAMES: 288, 289, 290, 291
CHEMICAL FAMILY: Alkaline Earth Sulfate FORMULA: BaSO 4
CAS No.: 7727-43-7

3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
• Barium Sulfate is inert, non-toxic and is considered a nuisance dust. Cherokee Baryte may contain <1% crystalline silica.
• CARCINOGENICITY: NTP, IARC or OSHA does not list barium sulfate as a suspected carcinogen. However, IARC Evaluation Of The Carcinogenic Risk To Humans, Volume 68, 1997 concludes that there is sufficient evidence of the carcinogenicity of crystalline silica in humans, and has, therefore, classified crystalline silica in Group 1, Carcinogenic to Humans. The National Toxicology Program’s (“NTP’s”) Ninth Annual Report on Carcinogens 2000, lists crystalline silica (respirable) as a substance which is known to be a human carcinogen.

Controlled average exposures over a working day to 3 mg/m 3 of respirable dust or less should be adequate to protect employee’s health. Brief or occasional exposure should not cause special concern any more than to any other relatively inert dust.
CRYSTALLINE SILICA (QUARTZ) SiO 2 CAS NO. 14808-60-7

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
No special procedures are required. Some eye, mucous membrane and skin sensitivity may occur with allergic individuals. First aid consists of washing away dust, move to a ventilated area and consult a physician.
Eyes: Wash eyes with large amount of water or saline solution. If irritation or redness develops, get medical attention.
Ingestion: Give large quantities of water to induce vomiting, keep head lower than hips to prevent aspiration. Get medical attention.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Barite is not flammable but emits toxic fumes under fire conditions. Wear protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus during fire fighting.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Barite waste is not reactive, flammable or biodegradable. Use conventional means; e.g. sweeping, vacuum, etc. Use caution on wet floor, as it may be slippery.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Avoid dust formation or inhaling the dust .Use protective eyeglasses. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep the container tightly closed.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION
OSHA PEL ACGIH TLV
Barium Sulfate: 15 mg/cu. meter 10 mg/cu. meter 5 mg/ cu. m respirable fraction
Quartz: (Respirable) 0.1 mg/cu. meter/%SiO2 (Respirable) 0.05 mg/cu. Meter

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: NIOSH approved dust respirator should be used when level exceeds TLV.
VENTILATION: Normal air circulation, use adequate ventilation for low TLV
LOCAL EXHAUST: Collect excessive dust at point of generation
PROTECTIVE GLOVES & EYE PROTECTION: Eye protection advisable, also use impermeable gloves.
