| SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION |
|=========================================================================|
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Dust irritating to respiratory tract. Prolonged
inhalation may be harmful.
ACUTE EFFECTS - EYE CONTACT: Mechanical irritant. Contact may cause
tearing and redness.
ACUTE EFFECTS - SKIN CONTACT: Mechanical irritant. Prolonged contact may
cause skin abrasion.
ACUTE EFFECTS - INHALATION: Dust or vapors may be slightly irritating to
respiratory tract. Prolonged inhalation may be harmful.
ACUTE EFFECTS - INGESTION: May cause nausea and vomiting.
CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE EFFECTS: *This product contains encapsulated silicon
dioxide (quartz, silica). No exposure to free respirable silica is
anticipated during normal use of this product. It should be noted,
however, that free respirable silica may be released by grinding or
machining of cured compound and has been listed as a confirmed human
carcinogen by NTP and IARC. Inhalation of free respirable silica may cause
silicosis or other serious delayed lung injury. Recent studies have also
suggested that individuals with silicosis are at increased risk of
developing tuberculosis, scleroderma, and/or increased incidence of kidney
lesions.
