===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: DUST FROM PROD IS MECHANICAL
IRRITANT, WHICH MEANS THAT IT MAY CAUSE IRRIT/SCRATCHINESS OF
THROAT AND/OR ITCHNG OF EYES & SKIN. DUST FROM PROD MAY ALSO CAUSE
DRY SKIN. SYMPS OF OVEREXP: INHAL: IRRIT OF UPPER RESP TRACT
(SCRATCHY THROAT), COUGH, & CONGESTION MAY OCCUR IN EXTREME
EXPOSURES. SKIN: TEMPORARY IRRIT, & DRY SKIN MAY OCCUR. INGEST:
PROD IS NOT INTENDED TO BE INGESTED OR EATEN UNDER NORMAL CNDTNS
OF USE. IF INGESTED, IT MAY CAUSE TEMPORARY IRRIT TO GI TRACT,
ESPECIALLY STOM. EYE: TEMPORARY IRRIT (ITCHING) OR REDNESS MAY
OCCUR. CHRONIC: PROD CNTNS >0.1% CRYSTALLINE SILICA AS A CO

CONSIDERED HAZ BY INHAL. EXCESS EXPOS TO CRYSTALLINE SILICA CAN
CAUSE SILICOSIS, NON-CANCEROUS LUNG DISEASE. CRYSTALLINE SILICA HAS
BEEN CLASSIFIED AS CA RCINOGENIC TO HUMAN, GROUP 1, BY IARC, AND AS
A SUBSTANCE WHICH MAY REASONABLY BE ANTIC TO BE CARCIN BY NTP. MORE
DETAILED INFO CONCERNING HLTH EFTS OF CRYSTALLINE SILICA IS
DECRIBED IN TOXICOLOGICAL & EPIDEMIOLOGICAL DATA SECTION OF MATL

======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INGEST: CALL MD IMMED . PROD IS NOT INTENDED TO BE
INGESTED/EATEN. IF PROD IS INGESTED IRRIT OF GI TRACT MAY OCCUR, &
SHOULD BE TREATED SYMPTOMATICALLY. INHAL: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR.
DRINK WATER T O CLEAR THROAT, & BLOW NOSE TO REMOVE DUST. SKIN:
WASH GENTLY W/SOAP & WARM WATER. EYES: DO NOT RUB/SCRATCH EYES.
DUST PARTICLES MAY CAUSE EYE TO BE SCRATCHY. FLUSH W/LG AMTS OF
WATER FOR AT LST 15 MI NS. IF IRRIT PERSISTS, CONT PHYS. NOTES TO
PHYS: PROD IS MECH IRRITANT, & IS NOT EXPECTED TO PRDCE ANY CHRONIC
HLTH EFTS FROM ACUTE EXPOS. TREATMENT SHOULD BE DIRECTED TOWARD
REMOVING (SUPDAT)
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Extinguishing Media:THIS MATERIAL WILL NOT BURN. THEREFORE, NO SPECIAL
PROCEDURES ARE NECESSARY FOR THIS PRODUCT. USE MEDIA SUITABLE FOR
SURROUNDING FIRE .

EQUIPMENT . NORMAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES SHOULD BE FOLLOWED TO
AVOID INHALATION OF SMOKE AND GASES FROM OTHER BURNING MATERIALS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:THERE IS NO POTENTIAL FOR FIRE OR
EXPLOSION.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:TO MINIMIZE AIRBORNE DUSTS, VACUUM SPILLS. IF
SWEEPING IS NECESSARY, USE DUST SUPPRESSANT SUCH AS WATER. DO NOT
DRY SWEEP DUST OR USE COMPRESSED AIR FOR CLEAN-UP.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:USE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AS DESCRIBED
IN EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION SECTION OF MATERIAL SAFETY
DATA SHEET WHEN HANDLING UNCONTAMINATED MATERIAL. WAREHOUSE STORAGE
SHOULD BE IN ACCORDANCE WI TH PACKAGE DIRECTIONS, IF ANY.
Other Precautions:MATERIAL SHOULD BE KEPT DRY, AND PROTECTED FROM
ELEMENTS.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
