CRISTAL 128

CRISTAL 128
Cristal 128 is a grade of rutile pigment produced by the chloride process and is modified with Alumina and Zironia. It is a universal grade of Titanium dioxide, which has been designed for the broadest range of applications, combining excellent optical properties with good durability.
Cristal 128 is characterized by exceptionally high gloss, ease of dispersion, excellent opacity, high tine strength, an exceptionally clean tint tone and good weathering performance.
Cristal 128 is recommended for all classes of coatings including architectural, industrial, maintenance, solvent and water based. It can be used in both interior and exterior applications. It can also be readily used in powder coatings, where the optical performance is of prime importance.

Hazards Information Adverse human health effects
Preliminaries
Inert nuisance dust. Can cause lung irritation.
Primary route of entry
Inhalation of airborne dust.
Symptoms of exposure
Coughing, sneezing or irritation of the mucous membrane.
Restrictive conditions
Breathing or respiratory tract disorder/disease would be aggravated by exposure to airborne dust
Eyes
Inert foreign body hazard.
First Aid Measures
Inhalation
Remove to fresh air.
Eye
Flush with large amounts of water. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Skin
Wash with water and mild soap.
Ingestion
No adverse health effects during the course of normal industrial handling. If large quantities ingested, seek medical attention.
Fire Fighting Methods
Extinguishing Media
No fire hazard.
Precautions should be taken against static discharge of electricity during powder handling operations.
Accidental Release Measures
Use any mechanical means to remove the powder. Avoid dusting. Prevent entry to natural waterways.
Handling and Storage
Handling
Use suitable ventilation to prevent excessive inhalation and skin contact. Avoid static discharge during powder handling operations.
Storage
Store in dry area. Wet material may become very slippery.
Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Exposure control
Generally handle in areas of good ventilation. If airborne dust is over or thought to approach the occupational exposure standard, local exhaust may be necessary.
Respiratory protection
Use approved dust respirator if OES is likely to be exceeded.
Hand protection
Use gloves for prolonged / repeated contact.
Eye protection
Use safety glasses / goggles.
Skin protection
Wear normal protective overalls. Sensitive skin can be protected further by use of a barrier cream or moisturizer.
