Section 3 - Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview: Contains SILICA which can cause cancer. Risk of Cancer depends on duration and
level of exposure.
Effects Of Overexposure - Eye Contact: Can cause eye irritation.
Effects Of Overexposure - Skin Contact: Can cause skin irritation.
Effects Of Overexposure - Inhalation: Shortness of breath, coughing, reduced pulmonary function.
Prolonged inhalation of respirable silica will result in permanent lung damage, silicosis.
Effects Of Overexposure - Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal discomfort. see a physician if discomfort
persists.
Effects Of Overexposure - Chronic Hazards: Crystalline silica is known to cause silicosis, a noncancerous
lung disease. Exposure is by route of inhalation. If material is in a liquid matrix it is unlikely to be inhaled. Long
term dust inhalation in excess of the PEL or TLV may decrease the ability of the lungs to clear particulate
matter which may cause shortness of breath and increased susceptibility to respiratory disease.
Primary Route(s) Of Entry: Skin Contact, Inhalation, Ingestion, Eye Contact
Medical Conditions Prone to Aggravation by Exposure: If you have a condition that could be aggravated
by exposure to dust or organic vapors, see a physician prior to use.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
First Aid - Eye Contact: Flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if
irritation persists.
First Aid - Skin Contact: Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water.
First Aid - Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
First Aid - Ingestion: Ingestion of this material is unlikely. If material is ingested, give 1 or 2 glasses of water.
If discomfort persists, see a physician.

(N/A)
Extinguishing Media: Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Foam, Water Fog
Unusual Fire And Explosion Hazards: None known.
Special Firefighting Procedures: None. Product will not burn.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Steps To Be Taken If Material Is Released Or Spilled: Sweep up material and place in appropriate disposal
container. Use sweeping compound or other cleaning aids to pick up residues. Wash down area thoroughly
with water. Dispose of material in accordance with all federal, state, and local regulations. Use personal
protective equipment as necessary.
Section 7 - Handling And Storage
Handling: Avoid breathing dust. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Avoid breathing vapors or spray mist.
Storage: Keep Dry. Keep containers closed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry place with adequate
ventillation.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: General ventilation should be provided to maintain ambient concentrations below
nuisance levels.
Respiratory Protection: Use only with ventilation to keep levels below exposure guidelines listed in Section 2.
User should test and monitor exposure levels to ensure all personnel are below guidelines. If not sure, or not
able to monitor, use MSHA/NISOH approved supplied air respirator. Follow all current OSHA requirements for
respirator use.
Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves, as needed, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection: Recommend safety glasses with side shields or chemical goggles to avoid eye contact.
Other protective equipment: None required.
Hygienic Practices: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices. These practices
include: avoiding unnecessary exposures to dusts and fibers by using good local exhaust ventilation; removal
of the material from the skin and eyes after exposure; removal of material from clothing (Use vacuum
equipment to remove fibers and dusts from clothing. Compressed air should never be used. Always wash
contaminated work clothes seperately from other laundry and wipe out washer / sink to prevent loose glass
fibers from getting on other articles); keep the work area clean of dusts and fibers generated during fabrication
(Use vacuum equipment to clean up dusts and fibers. Avoid sweeping or using compressed air as these
techniques re-suspend dusts and fibers into the air.) and; have access to safety showers and eye wash
stations.
