Eyes
: If particles get into eye, flush thoroughly with water. Seek medical attention if
symptoms occur.
Skin
: Wash thoroughly with soap and water. Seek medical attention if symptoms occur.
Ingestion
: Dilute stomach contents with several glasses of water. Seek medical attention if
symptoms occur.
Section 5–Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point
: Not applicable
Fire and Explosion Hazards
: Toner is a combustible powder. Like most organic powders, it
can form explosive mixtures when dispersed in air.
Extinguishing Methods
: Water, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam.
Fire Fighting Information
: Avoid inhalation of smoke. As for any fire, wear protective
clothing and selfcontained breathing apparatus.
Section 6–Accidental Release Measures
Spill or leak
: Sweep up or vacuum spilled materials and carefully transfer into sealable waste
container. Sweep slowly to minimize generation of dust during clean up. If a vacuum is used,
the motor must be rated as dust tight. A conductive hose bonded to the machine should be used
to reduce static buildup. Clean up residue if necessary with soap and cold water. Wash or dry
clean garments after removing loose toner.
Section 7–Handling and Storage
Handling
: No special precautions, when used as intended.
Storage
: Avoid high temperatures.
Section 8–Exposure Control Personal Protection
No special personal protection indicated, when used as intended in Xerox Phaser color
printers.

Section 11–Toxicological Information
This material has been evaluated by Xerox Corporation. The toxicity data noted below is based
on test results of the materials described herein or similar toners.
Oral LD
50
: >5 g/kg (rats), practically nontoxic
Dermal LD
50
: > 5 g/kg (rabbits), practically nontoxic
Inhalation LC
50
: > 5 mg/l (rats; 4 hour exposure), practically nontoxic
Eye Irritation
: Not an irritant
Skin sensitization
: Not a sensitizer
Skin irritation
: Not an irritant
Mutagenicity
: No mutagenicity detected in Ames assay
Carcinogens
: None present
Additional Information
: The results obtained from a Xerox sponsored Chronic Toner
Inhalation Study demonstrated no lung changes in rats for the lowest (1 mg/m
3
) exposure level
(i.e., the level most relevant to potential human exposure). A very slight degree of fibrosis was
noted in 25% of the animals at the middle (4 mg/m
3
) exposure level, while a slight degree of
fibrosis was noted in all the animals at the highest (16 mg/m
3
) exposure level. The findings are
attributed to "lung overloading," a generic response to excessive amounts of any dust retained
in the lungs for a prolonged period. This study was conducted using a special test toner to

comply with EPA testing protocol. The test toner was ten times more respirable than
commercially available Xerox toner and would not be functionally suitable for Xerox
equipment.
