===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: EYE: DUSTS MAY CAUSE MINOR
IRRITATION. PARTICULATE MATTER MAY SCRATCH THE CORNEA OR CAUSE
OTHER MECHANICAL INJURY TO THE EYE. SKIN: MAY CAUSE MINOR
IRRITATION. NOT ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN. INGEST ION: RELATIVELY
NON-TOXIC. INGESTION IS NOT ANTICIPATED UNDER NORMAL WORKING
CONDITIONS. INHALATION: PRODUCT WILL ACT AS A NUISANCE DUST.
INHALATION OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF DUST MAY CAUSE COUGHING A ND
MILD, TRANSITORY RESPIRATORY IRRITATION. MAY CAUSE SLIGHT TO
MODERATE IRRITATION OF MUCOUS MEMBRANES. CHRONIC: INHALATION:
LONG-TERM DUST INHALATION IN EXCESS OF PEL OR TLV MAY DECREASE THE
ABILITY OF THE LUNGS TO (EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: CLEAR PARTICULATE MATTER WHICH MAY
CAUSE SHORTNESS OF BREATH AND INCREASED SUSCEPTIBILITY TO
RESPIRATORY DISEASE. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS: IRRITATION, REDNESS, PAIN,
TEAR FORMATION, BLURRED VISIO N. LIGHT SENSITIVITY, SHORTNESS OF
BREATH, DECREASED CHEST EXPANSION, DRY COUGH, AND FATIGUE.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:REPEATED INHALATION OF DUSTS OVER
TIME MAY AGGRAVATE PRE-EXISTING RESPIRATORY DISEASE. PRECAUTIONS
SHOULD BE TAKEN TO ALLEVIATE THE PRE-EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITION.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
Eyes: FLUSH WITH LUKEWARM WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES,
OPENING AND CLOSING EYELIDS TO ENSURE ADEQUATE RISING. IF REDNESS,
IRRITAITON, PAIN, OR TEARING OCCURS, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN:
WASH CONT AMINATED AREA WITH SOAP AND WATER. WASH CONTAMINATED
CLOTHNG. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IF SYMPTOMS PERSISTS. INHALATION:
IF INHALATION OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OCCURS, MOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF
BREATHING HAS STOPPED, A CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL, SHOULD GIVE CPR.
SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING
UNLESS SUGGESTED BY A DOCTOR. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Extinguishing Media:USE MEDIA APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA & FULL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT .
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NON-FLAMMABLE, NON-COMBUSTIBLE. PRODUCT
WILL NOT BURN. NFPA CLASSIFICATION: HEALTH: 1, FLAMMABILITY: 0,
REACTIVITY: 0.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:ISOLATE HAZ AREA & DENY ENTRY TO UNAUTHORIZED
&/UNPROTECTED PERS. AVOID DUST GENERATION. WATER MIST MAY BE ADDED
AS NEC TO CONTROL LEVEL OF AIRBORNE DUST. RESP PROT FOR CLEAN-UP
PERS DEPENDS ON LEVEL OF EXPOS ANTICIPATED. (SEE SECTION 8
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION) GENTLY SHOVEL/SCOOP INTO
CLEAN DRY CNTNR FOR LATER RECYCLE/DISPOSAL.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A DRY AREA IN CLOSED CNTNRS.
STORAGE AND WORK AREAS SHOULD BE PERIODICALLY CLEANED TO MINIMIZE
DUST ACCUMULATION. AVOID DUST INHALATION AND PROMULGATION. DO NOT
USE COMPRESSED AIR OR DRY SWEE PING TO REMOVE DUST FROM WORK AREA.
DUSTS SHOULD BE REMOVED USING AN APPROPRIATELY EQUIPPED VACUUM.
Other Precautions:EXHAUST AIR SHOULD BE FILTERED THROUGH HEPA
(HIGH-EFFICIENCY PARTICULATE AIR) FILTER. IF APPROP VACUM IS
UNAVAILABLE, ONLY WET CLEAN-UP METHODS SHOULD BE USED (I.E WET
SWEEPING, MISTING, ETC.) MOISTUR E SHOULD BE ADDED AS NEC TO REDUCE
EXPOS TO AIRBORNE RESPIRABLE DUST. (SUPDAT)
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:UNDER NORMAL WORKING CONDITIONS, BELOW
ACCEPTABLE EXPOSURE GUIDELINES, NONE IS REQUIRED. FOR
CONCENTRATIONS ABOVE THE PEL BUT LESS THAN 10X THE PEL, NIOSH
APPROVED DUST MIST RESPIRATOR SHOULD BE WORN. APPROP RESP SECTION
WILL BE DEPENDENT UPON MAGNITUDE OF EXPOS & SHOULD BE SELECTED
I/A/ W/29 CFR 1910.134. (SEE SECTION 2 COMPOSITION FOR PEL'S AND
TWA'S).
Ventilation:USE GENERAL VENT. LOC EXHST MAY BE NEC FOR PROCESSES WHICH
GENERATE LRG QTIES OF AIRBORNE DUST. KEEP EXPOS BELOW APPLIC OSHA
PEL'S & ACGIH-TLV'S.
Protective Gloves:IMPERVIOUS GLOVES .
Eye Protection:ANSI APPROVED CHEMICAL WORKERS GOGGLES .
Other Protective Equipment:ANSI APPRVD EYE WASH & DELUGE SHOWER . UNDER
DUSTY CNDTNS, EMPLOYEES SHOULD WEAR COVERALLS/OTHER SUITABLE WORK
CLTHG. CONTAMD CLTHG MUST BE VACUUMED BEFORE REMOVAL. DO NOT REMOVE
(SUPDAT)
