4. First Aid Measures

Ingestion
Seek medical attention. The cream may have a laxative effect.
Inhalation
If high concentrations are inhaled or if worker exhibits trouble breathing, remove to fresh air, if symptoms persist, seek medical attention. The cream is not considered harmful.
Skin Contact
Wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and water. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Eye Contact
Remove contact lenses. Flush eyes with water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Other Information
Treat Symptomatically.

5. Firefighting Measures

Suitable extinguishing equipment

Fire
Dry chemical, CO₂, Foam or water.
HAZCHEM
Not available.

Special protective equipment and precautions for fire fighters

  • Diamond coated materials may generate toxic gases during a fire and self-contained breathing apparatus should be worn. For a dust fire confined to small area, use approved respirator to avoid inhaling dust and fumes. For
  • large fires, fire fighters should use self-contained breathing apparatus to avoid inhaling any combustion products.
  • Contact of dust with strong oxidiser may cause fire or explosion. On decomposition can release Carbon dioxide.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Clean-up personnel should wear appropriate personal protective equipment as detailed in Section 8 of this document. Respiratory protection should be worn if hazardous components exceed exposure limits listed in Section 8 of this document.
Environmental precautions
Isolate the area where the spill has occurred, do not walk through or scatter the spilled material. Avoid from entering water or ground water. Waste disposal should be in accordance with local environmental regulations.
Methods and materials for containment and clean up
Clean-up spilled material using a HEPA vacuum, wet mop or wet clean up. Avoid generating dust during cleanup operations. Avoid incompatible substances.

7. Handling and Storage

Precautions for safe handling
  • Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wash hands after handling. Maintain good housekeeping procedures to avoid dust accumulation or product becoming airborne. Wear appropriate protective equipment while handling - refer
  • to section 8.
Conditions for safe storage
Keep material in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool dry area. Store below 25°C.

9. Physical and Chemical Properties

General information

Appearance
The diamond powder is normally yellow but will vary due to the coating on the diamond. If coated with nickel the powder will be grey powder. If coated with copper the powder will be a salmon pink colour. Mixed with a white soft cream.
Odour
The cream presents an odour faint and typical to that of cetomacrogol cream.

10. Stability and Reactivity

Reactivity
No further relevant information available.
Chemical stability
Stable under normal conditions of use.
Possibility of hazardous reactions
On decomposition can release Carbon dioxide. Contact of dust with strong oxidiser may cause fire or explosion.
Conditions to avoid
Airborne fine powder dust in confined spaces. High heat and flame, diamond begins to burn at 800°C. Under special conditions, nickel can react with carbon monoxide in reducing atmosphere to form nickel carbonyl, a toxic gas. Copper reacts violently with acetylene, ammonia nitrate, bromates, chlorates, iodates, chlorine compounds, ethylene oxide, fluorine, hydrogen peroxide, hydrazine, hydrogen sulphide, hydrazoic acid, lead azide, potassium peroxide, sodium azide and sodium peroxide.
Incompatible materials
Contact with strong acids. Contact of dust with strong oxidiser may cause fire or explosion.

11. Toxicological Information

Acute effects
  • Copper is a irritating to skin and eyes. Inhalation of copper will cause irritation to the lungs. Chronic copper
  • poisoning is typified by hepatic cirrhosis, brain damage and demyelisation, kidney defects and copper
  • deposition in the cornea as exemplified by humans with Wilson's disease.
Eye contact
  • Diamond dust may cause irritation.
  • Sorbolene with Glycerin 10% cream is non-irritating to the mucous membranes.
Skin contact
  • Diamond dust may irritate skin.
  • Sorbolene with Glycerin 10% cream is suitable for use on sensitive skin; sensitivity to preservative (methyl &
  • propyl hydrobenzoates) may cause a reaction to those susceptible.
Ingestion
  • Not likely due to the form of the product.
  • Sorbolene with Glycerin 10% cream is non-irritant. Could have a laxative effect.
Inhalation
  • Diamond dust may irritate throat and respiratory system, may cause coughing.
  • Non-volatile, Sorbolene with Glycerin 10% cream does not present an inhalation hazard.
Toxicity and irritation
Nickel is listed by IARC as a Group 2B - Possibly Carcinogenic to Humans.
