HMIS RATING: HEALTH -- 2 FLAMMABILITY -- 2 REACTIVITY -- 0
See SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION for personal protective equipment
recommendations.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS BY ROUTE OF ENTRY
EYE: Can cause moderate irritation, tearing and reddening, but not likely to permanently injure eye tissue.
SKIN: Can cause skin irritation.
Component(s) may be absorbed through intact skin, but it is unlikely that harmful effects will occur unless contact is
prolonged, repeated, and extensive.
INHALATION: Can cause moderate respiratory irritation. Inhalation of dusts produced during cutting, grinding or
sanding of this product may cause irritation of the respiratory tract.
Inhalation of high concentrations may result in central nervous system (CNS) effects such as dizziness, weakness,
fatigue, nausea, headache, and lack of coordination. Overexposure to crystalline silica may cause silicosis.
INGESTION: Ingestion is not an anticipated route of exposure. Harmful if swallowed. Irritating to mouth, throat,
and stomach.
LONG-TERM (CHRONIC) HEALTH EFFECTS
REPRODUCTIVE: Contains a substance that is a probable reproductive hazard based on human
studies.
TARGET ORGAN(S): Kidneys Central nervous system Lungs Blood Liver
REGULATED CARCINOGEN STATUS:
Unless noted below, this product does not contain regulated levels of NTP, IARC, ACGIH, or OSHA listed
carcinogens.
Crystalline silica
EXISTING HEALTH CONDITIONS AFFECTED BY EXPOSURE: Kidney disease; Lung disease; Blood
disorders (like anemia)
SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
IF IN EYES: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 20 minutes retracting eyelids often. Tilt the head to prevent
chemical from transferring to the uncontaminated eye. Get immediate medical attention.
IF ON SKIN: Wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and launder. Get medical attention if
irritation develops or persists.
IF VAPORS INHALED: Remove to fresh air. Restore breathing, if necessary. Call a physician if symptoms
persist.
IF SWALLOWED: Do not induce vomiting and seek medical attention immediately. Drink two glasses of water or
milk to dilute. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT: 43C; 109F
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not established
LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT (% in air): Not established
UPPER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT (% in air): Not established
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.

and flash back.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Persons exposed to products of combustion should wear self-
contained breathing apparatus and full protective equipment.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SPECIAL PROTECTION: Exposure to the spilled material may be irritating or harmful. Follow
personal protective equipment recommendations found in Section 8 of this
MSDS. Additional precautions may be necessary based on special
circumstances created by the spill including; the material spilled, the quantity
of the spill, the area in which the spill occurred. Evaporation of volatile
substances can lead to the displacement of air creating an environment that
can cause asphyxiation.
CLEAN-UP: Scrape up and place in disposal container.
Shut off ignition sources; including electrical equipment and flames. Do not
allow smoking in the area.
Transport Emergency Phone Number (CHEMTREC): 1-800-424-9300
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Harmful or irritating material. Avoid contacting and avoid breathing the material. Use only in
a well ventilated area.
Keep away from heat, sparks and flame.

SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE PROTECTION: Wear safety glasses with side shields when handling this product.
Wear additional eye protection such as chemical splash goggles
and/or face shield when the possibility exists for eye contact with
splashing or spraying liquid, or airborne material. Have an eye wash
station available.
SKIN PROTECTION: Avoid skin contact by wearing chemically resistant gloves.
GLOVES: Nitrile
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Respiratory protection may be required to avoid overexposure when
handling this product. Use a respirator if general room ventilation is
not available or sufficient to eliminate symptoms. NIOSH approved
air purifying respirator with organic vapor cartridge.
Respirators should be selected by and used following requirements
found in OSHA's respirator standard (29 CFR 1910.134).
VENTILATION: Use local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to
minimize exposures.
