Section 2 Composition/Information on Ingredients
Pigment Yellow AAOT 5468-75-7 100
Section 3 Hazards Identification
Expected Route of Entry: Skin Contact, Eye Contact, Inhalation
Effect of Acute Exposure:
Eye: May cause mild eye irritation
Skin: Prolonged or repeated contact may cause mild skin irritation.
Inhalation: May cause nausea.
Health: 1 Flammability: 1 Reactivity: 0 Personal Protection: E
Eye Contact:
In the case pigment comes into contact with eyes, it may cause irritation. In this flush eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. If irritations persist, consult your physician.
Skin Contact:
In the case pigment comes into contact with skin, it may cause irritation. In this case wash skin with soap and water. Remove severely contaminated clothing and clean before reuse. Seek medical attention if irritation persist.
Inhalation:
In the case pigment is inhaled, it may cause respiratory irritation. In this case remove to fresh air.
Get medical attention if necessary.
Ingestion:
In the case pigment is ingested it is not considered to be toxic. If swallowed, dilute with water and
induce vomiting. Never give fluids or induce vomiting to an unconscious or person having convulsions. Contact medical help immediately in this case.

Extinguishing Media: Water, Foam, CO2, Dry Chemical
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Exercise caution when fighting any chemical fire. Use NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.
Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards: May form explosive dust-air mixtures in the finely divided state.
Step to be taken in case of spill:
Small spills may be flushed to the sewer. Large spills should be collected by shoveling into appropriate waste collection containers. Clean-up by flushing with water if desired.
Utilized recommended clothing and equipment.
Handling: Avoid dust formation. Keep away from ignition sources. Avoid breathing dust and contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wash with water thoroughly after handling.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Keep container sealed when not in use.
Respiration Protection: A NIOSH approved respirator as necessary.
Protective Equipment: Safety glasses (with side shields), Synthetic gloves.
Ventilation: Local exhaust ventilation recommended.

Do not use in polymers at temperatures over 200 C (392 F). Decomposition of Diarylide pigments at
temperatures above 200 C (392 F) can produce trace amounts of monoazo dyes, which in turn can
decompose to produce aromatic amines. The amount and type of degradation products formed depend on dwell time, formulation and processing conditions as well as temperature as conditions
become more severe, as when temperatures move into the 240-300 C (4645-572 F) range, trace
quantities of 3,3' Dichlorobenzidine can be found. 3,3' Dichlorobenzendine is classified as a suspect
carcinogen by NTP and IARC, and is regulated by OSHA as a suspect carcinogen.
In order to avoid the generation of and exposure to 3,3' Dichlorobenzidine, do not use diarylide
pigments in polymers where the temperatures exceed 200 C (392 F).
