SECTION VI TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
ROUTE OF ENTRY SKIN CONTACT: POSSIBLE IRRITANT ECZEMATOUS DERMATITIS HAS BEEN REPORTED FOR SOME
TRIVALENT CHROMIUM COMPOUNDS (SUCH AS CHROMITE ORE). SOME
COBALT COMPOUNDS HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO PRODUCE DERMATITIS AND
SENSITIZATION.
SKIN ABSORPTION: NONE
EYE CONTACT: REFER TO EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE.
INHALATION: MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE LUNGS BY INHALATION OF DUST SEE SENSITIZATION.
.
INGESTION: UNLIKELY TO BE TOXIC BY INGESTION. MAY CAUSE ABDOMINAL PAIN AND NAUSEA.
EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE: MAY CAUSE DRYING AND REDDENING OF THE SKIN. MAY CAUSE EYE IRRITATION.
EFFECTS OF CHRONIC EXPOSURE: 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
THE LUNGS, SKIN AND OTHER INTERNAL ORGANS.
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.
REPEATED AND PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO TRIVALENT CHROMIUM COMPOUNDS
(AS DUST) MAY CAUSE DELAYED EFFECTS INVOLVING THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM.

IRRITANCY OF PRODUCT : REFER TO ROUTE OF ENTRY
SENSITIZATION OF PRODUCT: REFER TO SKIN CONTACT INHALATION OF SOME COBALT COMPOUNDS MAY CAUSE AN
.
IRRITATION OF RESPIRATORY ORGANS OF SENSITIVE PERSONS LEADING TO
OBSTRUCTION OF AIRWAYS.
CARCINOGENICITY OF PRODUCT: REFER TO CHRONIC EFFECTS.
IARC CLASSIFIES COBALT AS POSSIBLY CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS BASED ON ANIMAL
STUDIES. SOLUBLE CHROMIUM COMPOUNDS, WHICH ARE KNOWN TO BE HUMAN
CARCINOGENS, MAY BE PRODUCED IF INSOLUBLE CHROMITE ORE IS CHEMICALLY
ALTERED THROUGH REACTION WITH ALALIES AT HIGH TEMPERATURES.
TERATOGENICITY OF PRODUCT: NO KNOWN EFFECTS
MUTAGENICITY OF PRODUCT: NO KNOWN EFFECTS
SYNERGISTIC MATERIALS: NONE KNOWN
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 (<0.1%). 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.
SECTION VII PREVENTATIVE MEASURES, CONTINUED
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.

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 HANDCREAM TO DRIED, REDDENED SKIN.
INGESTION: INDUCE VOMITING BY GIVING 2 GLASSES OF WATER AND STICKING FINGER DOWN THROAT. NEVER GIVE
ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR AND SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION AS REQUIRED.
