SECTION 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
INHALATION ACUTE EXPOSURE EFFECTS
Dust may be slightly irritating to eyes and respiratory tract at
high concentrations.
INHALATION CHRONIC EXPOSURE EFFECTS
Chronic: May affect breathing capacity.
For products containing phenol/formaldehyde resin, dust generated
from intended use may contain trace amounts of phenol and
formaldehyde which under excessive exposure may cause skin
sensitization and airway obstruction.
For products containing inorganic fluorides,
excessive exposure to inorganic fluorides have been shown to increase
bone density.
EYE CONTACT ACUTE EXPOSURE EFFECTS
Dust may irritate eyes.
SKIN CONTACT ACUTE EXPOSURE EFFECTS
Some may experience skin irritation from dust.
INGESTION ACUTE EXPOSURE EFFECTS
No known adverse effects, but ingestion not recommended.

Follow normal clean up procedures.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING
Handle with adequate ventilation for nuisance dust.
SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
VENTILATION PROTECTION
Recommend using local exhaust ventilation when general ventilation is
not keeping the airborne concentration below the TLV.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
Respirators are required when airborne contaminant levels exceed the
TLV(s).
EYE PROTECTION
Always WEAR SAFETY GLASSES or some type of eye protection while
sanding.
OTHER PROTECTION
Use of this product may create elevated sound levels. Hearing
protection should be worn where required (see OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134

NORTON USA FORMAT MSDS: ALCOAT001 Page 3 of 4
INCOMPATIBILITIES
Avoid acids of all types with a pH < 4.0.
DECOMPOSITION
In use, dust and decomposing odors may be generated. In most cases,
the material removed from the workplace will be significantly
greater than the sandpaper components. Coolants may produce other
decomposition products.
For products containing phenol and formaldehyde resin, thermal
decomposition may produce trace amounts of phenol and formaldehyde.
For products containing inorganic fluorides, thermal
composition may produce trace amounts of fluorides.
