(1) |
Crystalline silica (as cristobalite and quartz) as the
respirable fraction is listed as a Group 2A carcinogen ("probably
carcinogenic to humans") by the International Agency for Research on Cancer
(LARC). Material is suspended in liquid in product. Exposure potential is
negligible during normal use. |

VI. HEALTH HAZARD AND FIRST AID INFORMATION
|
Swallowing: |
No evidence from available information. For accidental
ingestion, seek medical help. |
|
Inhalation: |
Although very unlikely during normal use, improper use of
product in poorly ventilated area may cause respiratory irritation and/or nausea.
Remove victim to fresh air and seek medical help if symptoms persist. |
|
Skin Contact: |
Prolonged contact may cause reddening of the skin. Wash
affected area with soap and water and seek medical help if symptoms persist. |
|
Eye Contact: |
May cause eye irritation. Irrigate eyes with water. Seek
medical help if irritation persists |
If Material is Spilled: Restrict area to authorized personnel only. Contain small
spills by using an adsorbent such as vermiculite; adsorbent diking materials
may be used for larger spills.
Waste Disposal Methods: Consult local and/or state regulatory agencies for
appropriate disposal method.
VIII. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EOUIPMENT
Respiratory Protection: Respirators not necessary during normal use. Consult
supervisory and/or safety and health personnel for respiratory protection needs
during special use circumstances. Per OSHA regulation 29 CFR 1910.134, respirator
users are required to be fit-tested and trained before proper usage.
Ventilation: General room ventilation is expected to be
satisfactory. Use of product in enclosed areas and/or special applications may require
supplementary local exhaust. Consult supervisory and/or health and safety
personnel.
Gloves: Use chemically-impervious, rubber gloves. As with any chemical
material, avoid prolonged contact.
Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses. For activities with high splash
potential, add side shields or face shield-
