SECTION 4 - TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

NATURE OF HAZARD

INHALATION: Crystalline Silica (Quartz) dust particles below 5 Microns in diameter may be present in this product.

Excessive inhalation of particles of this size (or smaller) may cause lung disease (Silicosis). The prolonged inhalation of

dust may result in irritation of nasal tissue and the cornea (white) of the eye. Certain people may develop allergic

dermatitis.

EYE CONTACT: May Irritate. No permanent damage likely.



SKIN CONTACT: Will dry skin and cause defatting dermatitis with excessive exposure of skin to dry and wet product



INGESTION: Can cause irritation to throat.



CHRONIC: Excessive exposure inhalation could lead to development of the irreversible lung disease "Silicosis".

Crystalline silica is classified by IARC as " 2A-Probably Carcinogenic to humans".



OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMIT: Maximum TWA of silica is 0.2 mg. per M3 of air. For further information of

the designated substance "Silica" contact the Ministry of Labour (Occupational Health and Safety Division) in your

region.
