SECTION 2: COMPOSITION, INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
Chemical Names:
INCI CAS EINECS
Hazardous Ingredients
Crystalline Silica (quartz, 14808 鈥? 60 鈥? 7) is present at 鈮? 9.0 % as a naturally occurring component not
removed from the clay ore in processing. See Section 11 for further information.
SECTION 3: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
HMIS Rating:
Health = 1* ( possible hazard from chronic exposure to dust, see Section 11 )
Flammability = 0, Reactivity = 0, Personal Protective Equipment = E
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Under normal usage or contained spills this material does not pose a
significant emergency risk. This material may be slippery when wetted with water. Appropriate precautions
should be taken to avoid slips and falls.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
Eyes: May cause slight eye irritation. Direct contact should be avoided to prevent physical damage.
Skin: None known.
Inhalation: Short term exposure to high dust levels could cause minor irritation. Long term exposure to high
concentrations of dust should be avoided due to the presence of quartz which can cause severe and permanent
lung damage when inhaled. Control dust levels with engineering controls (local exhaust ventilation). Prevent
dust inhalation with use of a NIOSH approved dust respirator if engineering controls are inadequate.
Carcinogenicity: IARC has classified crystalline silica as a human carcinogen.
Target Organs: Lungs.
Chemical product identification: Blend of semi-sodic bentonite and marine origin natural
polymer and vegetable origin natural polymer.

SECTION 4: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Skin: Wash off with soap and water.
Eye: Flush with tepid water for 15 minutes. If irritation or pain persists, seek medical attention.
Inhalation: Remove person to fresh air. Seek medical attention if shortness of breath or irritation
persists.
Ingestion: Could result in intestinal blockage. If large amounts are swallowed seek medical attention.
Notes to Physician: Mixture is orally non-toxic. See Section 11 for additional toxicological data.
SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flashpoint: Not applicable
Upper Explosive Limit: Not applicable
Lower Explosive Limit: Not applicable
Autoignition Temperature: Not applicable
Thin-film Ignition Temperature: Not applicable
Known or anticipated hazardous
products of combustion: None
Basic fire fighting guidance: Not applicable
Extinguishing media: Not applicable
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Wet down large spills with water mist to avoid generating excessive dust levels. Caution: This material may
be slippery when wet. Appropriate precautions should be taken avoid slips and falls.
Clean-up procedures and equipment: Use of a dustless vacuum system or shoveling. Flushing with water is
also an acceptable method. Avoid dry sweeping or other methods that may generate high dust concentrations.
Wear NIOSH approved dust respirator.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Adequate ventilation is necessary in handling areas to prevent excessive airborne dust.
Storage: Store in closed containers in a dry area.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls:
Provide general or local ventilation adequate to maintain airborne levels below occupational exposure limits.
Personal Protection Equipment:
Eye/face: Use safety glasses or goggles.
Skin: None.
Respiratory: Use a NIOSH approved, air purifying dust respirator if dust levels are above exposure
limits.
Half-masks are usually sufficient for normal use.
Chemical product identification: Blend of semi-sodic bentonite and marine origin natural
polymer and vegetable origin natural polymer.

SECTION 10: STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Incompatibilities: None.
Conditions to avoid: Not applicable.
Stability: This material is stable under normal storage and handling conditions.
Hazardous Polymerization: Not applicable.
SECTION 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Over-exposure to Crystalline Silica (long contact without protection) can cause lung silicosis, a progressive
lung disease in humans. Health affects from exposure to Crystalline Silica occur only when it is inhaled.
Inhalation Effects: Crystalline Silica has been shown to cause silicosis and lung cancer. Crystalline
Silica only causes these conditions when inhaled.
Skin Contact: Prolonged skin contact may lead to drying or cracking of the skin due to H2O
absorption properties of the clay.
Eye Contact: As with any dust, will be irritating to the eyes due to physical scratching.
Medical Conditions Aggravated: Respiratory disorders.
SECTION 12: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Ecotoxicological Information: None known.
SECTION 13: DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Dispose of in a manner in accordance with local and federal regulations.
This information applies to materials as manufactured; contamination or processing may change waste
characteristics and requirements.
SECTION 14: TRANSPORT INFORMATION
This material is not regulated by the Department of Transportation.
Chemical product identification: Blend of semi-sodic bentonite and marine origin natural
polymer and vegetable origin natural polymer.
