SECTION VI TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
ROUTE OF ENTRY: SKIN CONTACT: POSSIBLE IRRITANT.
SKIN ABSORPTION:UNLIKELY
EYE CONTACT: POSSIBLE IRRITANT.
INHALATION: IRRITATING TO THE RESPIRATORY TRACT.
INGESTION: THIS PRODUCT IS LOW IN ACUTE TOXICITY .
EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE: CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN AND RESPIRATORY TRACT MAY CAUSE PHYSICAL
IRRITATION AND INFLAMMATION.
EFFECTS OF CHRONIC EXPOSURE: OVEREXPOSURE TO RESPIRABLE DUST OR MIST MAY CAUSE SKIN, EYE AND
RESPIRATORY IRRITATION DUE TO THE PHYSICAL NATURE OF THE PARTICULATES.
REPEATED AND PROLONGED BREATHING OF THESE PARTICULATES MAY CAUSE
COUGHING, WHEEZING IMPAIRED LUNG FUNCTION AND INCREASED SPUTUM
,
PRODUCTION. SMOKING AGGRAVATES THESE EFFECTS. OVEREXPOSURE TO
RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA DUST MAY CAUSE:
1/ SILICOSIS, A FORM OF PROGRESSIVE PULMONARY FIBROSIS.
2/ SCLERODERMA, AN IMMUNE SYSTEM DISORDER MANIFESTED BY A FIBROSIS OF
SECTION VI TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES CONT'D.... OTHER INTERNAL ORGANS.
THE LUNGS, SKIN AND
SILICOSIS INCREASES THE RISK OF TUBERCULOSIS.
RECENT EVIDENCE SUGGESTS AN ASSOCIATION BETWEEN RESPIRABLE EXPOSURE
AND A HIGHER INCIDENCE OF KIDNEY LESIONS.
CRYSTALLINE SILICA INHALED FROM OCCUPATIONAL SOURCES IS CLASSIFIED (IARC)
AS CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS.

SECTION VII PREVENTATIVE MEASURES
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT TO BE USED: THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN SPECIFICALLY FORMULATED FOR BRUSH
APPLICATION. USERS WHO APPLY BY SPRAYING ARE ADVISED TO WEAR
SAFETY GLASSES AND AN APPROPRIATE RESPIRATOR (REFER TO
EXPOSURE LIMITS). USERS WHO APPLY BY DIPPING ARE ADVISED TO
WEAR RUBBER GLOVES TO PREVENT SKIN IRRITATION.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS TO BE USED: NONE FOR BRUSH APPLICATION. THE USE OF VENTILATING EQUIPMENT
IS RECOMMENDED FOR SPRAY APPLICATION. THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS
CELLULOSE GUM (<1%) AND A PRESERVATIVE (<0.07%). ABOVE 227OC,
CARBON MONOXIDE, CARBON DIOXIDE AND SMOKE ARE RELEASED AS
THE GUM IS BURNT OFF. HYDROCHLORIC ACID, FORMALDEHYDE, SOX
AND NOX VAPOURS MAY BE LIBERATED WHEN THE PRESERV ATIVE IS
FIRED OUT. AT HIGH TEMPERATURES, METAL FUMES MAY BE LIBERATED.
WHEN FIRING, USE A DOWNDRAFT OR OVERHEAD HOOD-TYPE EXHAUST.
PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED IN CASE OF SPILL: CLEAN UP WITH SPONGE OR SPATULA. CAUTION: SPILLS ARE SLIPPERY .
WASTE DISPOSAL: IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL, PROVINCIAL AND FEDERAL LAWS. DO
NOT EMPTY INTO WATER COURSES.
HANDLING PROCEDURES: AVOID GENERATING MIST OR DUST. MAINTAIN GOOD PERSONAL
HYGIENE. DO NOT EAT DRINK OR SMOKE. WASH AFTER USE.
,
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS: DO NOT STORE NEAR FOODSTUFFS.
SPECIAL SHIPPING INFORMATION: NONE
SECTION VIII FIRST AID MEASURES
EYE EXPOSURE: FLUSH THOROUGHLY WITH WATER. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION PERSISTS.
SKIN EXPOSURE: WASH THOROUGHLY AND APPLY MOISTURIZING HAND CREAM TO DRIED, REDDENED SKIN.
INGESTION: GIVE WATER. DON鈥橳 INDUCE VOMITING. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR AND SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION AS REQUIRED.
