Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, dry chemical, CO2
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: None recommended
Fire Hazards: If exposed to heat, may emit fumes of indicator dyes
Special Protective Equipment: Firefighters use SCBA and standard turnout gear, avoid breathing dust or fumes
Hazardous Combustion Products: May release carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, and dye decomposition products
Personal Precautions: Avoid breathing dust, use gloves, avoid skin and eye contact, ensure good ventilation
Environmental Precautions: Prevent release into waterways or drains, scoop up spills promptly
Clean-up Methods: Gently sweep or vacuum spilled material, place in appropriate waste container, flush area with water
Disposal of Collected Material: Follow local disposal rules, avoid landfill if large spill enters water
Handling: Handle with care, avoid creating dust clouds, wash hands thoroughly after use, use personal protection in bulk handling
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location, keep containers sealed, do not expose to direct sunlight, keep away from acids, food, or animal feed
Incompatibilities: Strong acids, oxidizers
Exposure Limits: OSHA PEL for nuisance dust 15 mg/m³ total dust, 5 mg/m³ respirable
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust, maintain good ventilation
Personal Protection: Wear nitrile or latex gloves, safety goggles, dust masks for large quantities, do not eat or smoke during handling, keep work area clean and tidy, shower after large scale exposure
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before eating or drinking, remove work clothing at shift end

Vapor Pressure: Not applicable
Flash Point: None
Auto-Ignition Temperature: Not established
Partition Coefficient: Not applicable
Chemical Stability: Stable under usual storage and handling
Reactivity: Non-reactive with most substances
Conditions to Avoid: Exposure to strong acids, high humidity
Incompatible Materials: Acids and oxidizing agents may degrade dye
Hazardous Decompositions: Fumes containing oxides of carbon, nitrogen, and potentially irritating organics under strong heating
Routes of Exposure: Skin, eyes, inhalation, ingestion
Acute Toxicity: Not classified as acutely toxic, minor irritant effects possible
Chronic Toxicity: No established adverse chronic effects
Sensitization: Not known to cause sensitization
Eye Effects: Dust can irritate or redden eyes
Skin Effects: Prolonged or repeated contact may dry skin
Inhalation Effects: Respiratory tract irritation possible if dust inhaled in large quantities
Carcinogenicity: Based on composition, not listed by IARC, OSHA, NTP, or ACGIH
Other Data: Dyes used in trace amounts, toxicity data indicates low hazard at working concentrations
Eco-Toxicity: Component clays are naturally sourced, minimal environmental impact, dyes present in low concentrations
Aquatic Impact: High concentrations not likely, but indicator dye can cause color changes in water, low toxicity for aquatic organisms
Persistence and Degradability: Clay persists in environment, dyes break down over time
Bioaccumulation Potential: Little evidence for bioaccumulation due to insoluble nature
Mobility in Soil: Tends to bind to soil, unlikely to penetrate groundwater
