Inhalation: Move person to fresh air; monitor for breathing problems; seek medical advice if symptoms develop
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water; remove contaminated clothing; seek medical advice for persistent irritation
Eye Contact: Flush immediately for at least 15 minutes; remove contact lenses if present and easy; consult medical attention for redness, discomfort, or visual disturbance
Ingestion: Rinse mouth; do not induce vomiting; consult physician or poison control center
Note to Physicians: Treat symptomatically; monitor for allergic sensitivities and respiratory complications
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, water spray
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: High-pressure water stream may spread spilled material
Specific Hazards: Burning can produce irritating cobalt oxide fumes, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide
Special Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear full PPE including self-contained breathing apparatus
Advice: Evacuate area; keep containers cool with water spray to prevent explosion
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel; ventilate area; use personal protective equipment
Environmental Precautions: Prevent release into soil, water, or drains; notify authorities per local regulation
Containment: Dike and absorb with inert materials such as sand or clay
Clean-up Methods: Collect material using spark-proof tools; place in labeled, sealed containers for disposal
Decontamination: Wash contaminated surfaces thoroughly with detergent and water
Handling: Avoid dust formation; handle in well-ventilated spaces; wear gloves, eye protection
Safe Practices: Do not eat, drink, or smoke in work area; keep away from heat sources
Storage: Keep in tightly closed containers; isolate from acids, oxidizers, and strong alkalis
Incompatible Materials: Avoid storing with strong oxidizers or reducing agents
Storage Conditions: Store in dry, cool, well-ventilated area away from sunlight
Control Parameters: Cobalt (as Co, ACGIH TLV: 0.02 mg/m³ TWA, OSHA PEL: 0.1 mg/m³ TWA)
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust, process enclosures, or other engineering controls to maintain levels below exposure limits
Personal Protection: Wear impervious gloves, safety goggles, lab coat or apron
Respiratory Protection: Use approved respirators for dusty conditions or if exposure exceeds recommended limits
Hygiene Practices: Wash hands before eating or drinking; avoid skin contact; launder clothing regularly
Appearance: Dark, viscous liquid or highly viscous paste
Odor: Faint, resinous
pH: Not applicable (non-aqueous)
Melting Point/Freezing Point: Variable; typically 25–40°C (softens)
Boiling Point: Decomposes before boiling
Solubility: Insoluble in water; soluble in turpentine and other organic solvents
Vapor Pressure: Essentially zero at 20°C
Density: Approximately 1.05–1.20 g/cm³ (varies by formulation)
Viscosity: High
Other Properties: Non-volatile, semi-solid mass at room temperature
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions
Reactivity: Inert in most applications; can react with strong acids or oxidizing agents
Possibility of Hazardous Reactions: Exothermic reaction possible with strong oxidizers, risk of releasing toxic gases
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, sparks, open flame, direct sunlight
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Cobalt oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and organic byproducts
Acute Toxicity: Cobalt salts can be harmful if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through skin
Skin Contact: Irritating to skin, may cause dermatitis with prolonged exposure
Eye Contact: Causes redness, pain, temporary visual disturbance
Chronic Exposure: Repeated contact may trigger allergic skin or respiratory reactions (asthma, eczema); potential for cumulative toxicity
Carcinogenicity: IARC Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans) for cobalt compounds
Special Toxicity Data: Sensitizers, can induce asthma or eczema in sensitive individuals
Aquatic Toxicity: Very toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in aquatic environments
Persistence and Degradability: Cobalt compounds resist biodegradation; resin components may degrade slowly
Bioaccumulative Potential: Cobalt likely to bioaccumulate in aquatic life
Mobility in Soil: Cobalt salts moderately mobile; binds to organic matter
Other Effects: Avoid uncontrolled environmental release; contamination can disrupt microbial and aquatic ecosystems
Waste Treatment Methods: Dispose as hazardous waste; landfill or incineration at approved facilities
Disposal of Packaging: Empty containers may retain residue; treat as hazardous material
Precautions: Do not allow material or rinse-water to reach sewage, drains, or natural water sources
Local Regulations: Follow all local, regional, and national regulations concerning waste disposal
UN Number: Not always classified as dangerous for transport but may be regulated in certain jurisdictions
Proper Shipping Name: Environmentally hazardous substance, solid, n.o.s. (contains cobalt compounds)
Transport Hazard Class: 9 (Miscellaneous dangerous substances if classified)
