First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove patient to particulate-free environment. Wear approved dust mask to avoid breathing dust. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Wash with mild soap and warm water
Symptoms: Graphite is non-staining to skin and is not a chemical irritant.
Rinse with tepid water until eyes are clear of particulates. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Get immediate medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel.
Symptoms: Natural graphite is not known to be toxic by ingestion. However, ingestion may cause digestive system blockage.
Immediate Medical Attention
If patient exhibits shortness of breath, choking, powder inundated eyes or mouth; immediate medical attention may be required.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Dry chemical extinguisher, water, sand, limestone powder
At temperatures above 1500 C, graphite reacts with substances containing oxygen, including water and carbon dioxide.
In case of intensely hot fire events, use sand to cover and isolate graphite.
Firefighter Protection
Use self contained air pack, gloves, safety goggles
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Use conventional cleanup techniques and avoid creating dust. Vacuum is preferred over sweeping. Be cautious of slip hazard on wet or dry pedestrian surfaces. Graphite is electrically conductive and any cleanup methods should avoid contacting graphite with electrical circuitry.
Natural graphite is inert and insoluble and will not pose any soluble ion hazards to the environment. However, good housekeeping practices should be followed and spilled material should be cleaned up, and disposed of in an appropriate manner.
Conventional Sweep or vacuum.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Use conventional methods, but avoid dusting conditions. Provide sufficient exhaust ventilation in areas where dust is created. Wear suitable respiratory protection. Keep powder from contacting eyes. Natural graphite is a good conductor of electricity. Avoid contact between natural graphite and electrical circuitry. Slip Hazard: Graphite is a highly lubricious material and may present a slip hazard if spilled on wet or dry pedestrian surfaces.
Store all carbonaceous materials in a dry location. Keep packaging closed or covered
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Use adequate dust collection to maintain dust levels below the control or recommended values.
Conventional work gloves
Wear laboratory goggles, or full side shielded safety glasses.
Approved dust mask, type N95 recommended.
Conventional work gloves and clothing.
Natural graphite is inert and insoluble. To the best of our knowledge, Natural graphite should not present any environmental hazards. No special environmental exposure controls, other than standard practices for dust and spill control, are required.
