PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Personal Protective Equipment: Eyes/Face
Safety glasses with sideshields are recommended to keep dust out of the eyes.
Personal Protective Equipment: Skin
Leather or cotton gloves are optional.
Personal Protective Equipment: Respiratory
To protect against nuisance dust, use a NIOSH-approved dust/mist respirator (e.g., 3M 9900 or Moldex 2200 respirators). A
respirator should be used if ventilation is unavailable or is inadequate for keeping dust levels below the applicable exposure
limits.
Ventilation
Local exhaust ventilation should be provided at areas of cutting to remove airborne dust and fibers. General dilution ventilation
should be provided as necessary to keep airborne dust and fibers below the applicable exposure limits and guidelines. The
need for ventilation systems should be evaluated by a professional industrial hygienist, while the design of specific ventilation
systems should be conducted by a professional engineer.
Personal Protective Equipment: General
Loose-fitting, long-sleeved clothing should be worn to protect the skin from irritation. Exposed skin areas should be washed
with soap and warm water after handling.

Chronic Toxicity
Crystalline silica (quartz) is encapsulated in this product in granules that are too large to be respirable. Due to product form,
exposure to respirable dusts is not expected. Crystalline silica is considered a hazard by inhalation. The International Agency
for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified crystalline silica as a Group 1 substance, carcinogenic to humans. This
classification is based on the findings of laboratory animal studies (inhalation, injection, and implantation) and epidemiological
studies that were considered sufficient for carcinogenicity. Several studies have been conducted to determine the risk of
cancer to workers exposed to dusts which contain crystalline silica. However, these studies did not consider other factors or
elements that workers may be exposed to. Therefore, the causes of the excess deaths due to cancer could not be precisely
determined. Further studies are being conducted to determine the risk of cancer when working with crystalline silica products.
Excessive exposure to crystalline silica can cause silicosis, a non-cancerous lung disease. Respirable crystalline silica has
been classified by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) as a substance which may reasonably be anticipated to be a
carcinogen. Crystalline silica has not been classified by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
