INHALED: Dust or powder of this material may cause irritation of the
nose, throat, and respiratory tract. Lungs may be affected
by repeated or prolonged exposure to the dust or powder
of this material.
CHRONIC:
N/A
CRYSTALLINE SILICA
This product contains Crystalline Silica. Silica may cause irritation to eyes, skin and the respiratory
tract. Prolonged or repeated exposure may lead to delayed lung injury (silicosis). This material is listed
as a possible carcinogen.
ACUTE:
SWALLOWED: Expected to be a low ingestion hazard however may cause
nausea.
EYE: Prolonged or repeated contact may result in mild irritation
or mechanical irritation.
SKIN: Prolonged contact may result in mild irritation or
mechanical irritation.
INHALED: Inhalation should be avoided. May cause irritation and
discomfort.
CHRONIC:
Heavy, prolonged or repeated exposures may cause delayed lung injury (silicosis). Silicosis is a form
of disabling pulmonary fibrosis which can be progressive and may lead to death. Lung damage may
aggravate other pulmonary conditions and disease and lead to increased susceptibility to pulmonary
tuberculosis. Progressive massive fibrosis may be accompanied by right heart enlargement, heart
failure and pulmonary failure. There are several studies suggesting that exposure to respirable silica or
that the disease Silicosis is associated with the increased incidence of kidney disorders.
(Nephrotoxicity).
COMPOUND
ACUTE:
SWALLOWED: Large amounts may cause irritation of the gastrointestinal
tract, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
EYE: Prolonged or repeated contact may result in mild irritation
or mechanical irritation.
SKIN: Prolonged contact may result in mild irritation or
mechanical irritation.
INHALED: Dust from this product may cause irritation of the
respiratory system. Overexposure may cause lung damage.
FIRST AID:
SWALLOWED: Rinse mouth with water and drink large amounts of water.
Induce vomiting only in conscious person. Seek medical
attention.
EYE: Irrigate with copious amounts of water for at least 15
minutes. Do not rub eyes. Seek medical attention if
irritation persists.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Ventilation should effectively remove and prevent build-up of any dust generated from the handling of this
product. Local exhaust ventilation is recommended when generating excessive levels of airborne dust or
vapours from handling or thermal processing. Use explosion-proof equipment if high dust/air concentrations
are possible.
PERSONAL PROTECTION:
PERSONAL PROTECTION GUIDE: COTTON OVERALLS, GLOVES & GLASSES. Avoid eye contact and
repeated or prolonged skin contact. Wear overalls, safety glasses and impervious gloves If ventilation is not
sufficient to effectively prevent build-up of dusts, appropriate NIOSH/MSHA respiratory protection must be
provided. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet.
FLAMMABILITY:
Flash Point: N/A
Method Used: N/A
Flammability Classification: N/A
ENVIRONMENT:
Avoid contamination of natural waterways. Rather, disposal should occur into settling tank for
appropriate disposal and treatment.
SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION:
STORAGE:
Keep container dry. Store away from excessive heat and away from strong oxidizing
agents, strong acids, food and feedstuffs. Keep container tightly closed to prevent
contamination.

SPILLS & DISPOSAL:
Sweep spilled substance into containers and if appropriate, moisten first to minimize or prevent
dusting and the generation of airborne particulates, then move to a safe place. Do not let the spilled
substance enter the environment. Avoid the generation of dust during clean-up. Collect dust or
powder using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter. Evacuate the area promptly and keep upwind of
the spilled material. Isolate the spill area to prevent people from entering.
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD:
HAZARDS OF USE/STORAGE:
