ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH SPECIFIED
PIGMENTS, VEHICLES OR THEIR COMPONENTS:
AMORPHOUS SILICA- Slight skin irritant and mild eye irritant in
animals.
CADMIUM- Cadmium Compounds are classified by IARC, NTP and OSHA
as probably carcinogenic in humans through inhalation. Professional
product. Not intended for use by children.
OSHA also classifies such compounds as causing lung and kidney
disease. Pigmentary cadmium compounds have been shown to be significantly
less biologically available and active than other compounds.
Adverse effects of this mixture as an artists’ color have
not been demonstrated.
All cadmium pigments used by M. Graham & Co. are selected
and monitored to ensure low
solubility. All Cadmium pigments used by M. Graham & Co.
are certified as meeting all current EPA requirements for NON-HAZARDOUS
disposable waste. This material should not be applied by spray
due to potential for harmful effects in the lungs if inhaled.
Reportable under 40 CFR 372-SARA TITLE III, Section 313.
CERULEAN BLUE:- Skin contact may cause allergic sensitization.
Professional product. Not intended for use by children. Contains
cobalt: cobalt compounds, when used as anti-foams, have caused
cardiac damage when ingested with large quantities of fluids.
(See also Chromium.) IARC lists cobalt and cobalt compounds as
possible human carcinogens and notes inadequate evidence of carcinogenicity
in humans base upon animal studies. The cobalt compound in this
product has not been specifically identified as a possible carcinogen
.See also Cobalt. Reportable under 40 CFR 372-SARA TITLE III,
Section 313.
CRYSTALLINE SILICA- Considered a carcinogen through inhalation
overexposure. It is also a known cause of silicosis, a non-cancerous
lung disease. Reportable under 40 CFR 370-SARA TITLE III.
COBALT- Individuals hypersensitive to Cobalt may develop asthma,
bronchitis, or shortness of
breath. May cause skin sensitization. Professional product.
Not intended for use by children. Cobalt compounds, when used
as anti-foams, have caused cardiac damage when ingested with large
quantities of fluids. IARC lists cobalt and cobalt compounds
as possible human carcinogens and notes inadequate evidence of
carcinogenicity in humans based upon animal studies. The cobalt
compound in this product has not been specifically identified
as a possible carcinogen. Reportable under 40 CFR 372-SARA TITLE
III, Section 313.
CHROMIUM- Chromium and some of its compounds are considered carcinogenic,
both in
animals and humans. Evidence of CHROMIUM (III) compounds carcinogenicity,
in pigment form is inconclusive. May cause delayed effects involving
the respiratory system. Eye and skin irritant. Reportable under
40 CFR 372-SARA TITLE III, Section 313.
MANGANESE- Overexposure may affect the Central Nervous System
and lungs, resulting in
transitory psychosis, tiredness, weakness and pneumonitis. May
aggravate preexisting
neurologic conditions. Reportable under 40 CFR 372-SARA TITLE
III, Section 313.
QUINACRIDONES- May cause dermatitis. Eye, skin and respiratory
irritant.
PHTHALOCYANINES- May cause dermatitis. Eye, skin and respiratory
irritant.
WALNUT OIL- Ingestion can produce a laxative effect.
WALNUT ALKYD MEDIUM- Certified non-toxic as defined in 16 CFR
1500.3 (c) (2) (I). Ingestion can produce a laxative effect.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
EYE CONTACT: Flush with water for 15 minutes. SEE DOCTOR if
any symptoms persist.

as liquids with flash points between 73oF and 100oF (NFPA Class
1B and 1C).
2 - MODERATE HAZARD: Materials that must be moderately heated
before ignition will
occur, including flammable liquids with flash points at or above
100oF but less than 200oF (NFPA Class II and IIIA).

will occur.
Flammable liquids in this category will have flash points at or
above 200oF (NFPA Class IIIB).

III. R=REACTIVITY
4 - SEVERE HAZARD: Materials that are readily capable of detonation
or explosive
decomposition at normal temperatures and pressures.
3 - SERIOUS HAZARD: Materials that are capable of detonation
or explosive reaction but
require a strong initiating force or that must be heated under
confine-ment before initiation, or materials that react explosively
