3. Hazard Identification
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
No significant spill or fire hazard. Minor irritant. Inhalation risk.
Potential Health Effects
EYES: Dust may irritate.
SKIN: May be absorbed through skin; may cause abrasions. Some may experience skin irritation
from dust.
INHALATION: No effects with normal precautions.
INGESTION: No adverse effect known, but ingestion is not recommended.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED: Persons with chronic respiratory or dermatological
disorders may be at increased risk from exposure.
CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE: Chronic inhalation 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.
ACUTE OVEREXPOSURE: Dust may be slightly irritating to eyes and respiratory tract at high
concentrations.
CARCINOGENICITY: None.

4. First Aid Measures
EYES: Wash with large amounts of water. Obtain first aid or medical assistance, if needed.
SKIN: Wash affected areas with soap and water. Obtain medical assistance.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air, apply artificial respiration as needed. Obtain first aid or
medical assistance.
INGESTION: Call poison control center, hospital emergency room, or physician immediately.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES: Non-flammable.
Flash Point: Not available. Method Used: Not applicable.
Flammable Limits (% by Volume in Air):
Lower: None. Upper: None.
AUTO-IGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not applicable.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Not available.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Carbon dioxide, foam, water.
FIREFIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Backings and resin binder will burn or decompose, use
respiratory protection.
6. Accidental Release Measures
SMALL/LARGE SPILL: Normal clean-up procedures.
7. Handling and Storage
HANDLING: Handle with adequate ventilation. See OSHA 29 CFR 1910.94 (Ventilation) and
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1000 (Air Contaminants), OSHA CFR 1910-213(P) Sanding Machines and
OSHA CFR 1910.243(a) (3) Portable Belt Sanding Machines.
STORAGE: Keep container closed.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use of local exhaust ventilation recommended when general
ventilation cannot keep airborne concentration below TLV.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: When airborne contaminant levels exceed the TLV(s) use
approved dust respirator (OSHA 24 CFR 1910-134).
SKIN AND HAND PROTECTION: As desired by user.
EYE AND FACE PROTECTION: Recommend face and eye protection (OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133).
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Use of this product may create elevated sound levels.
Hearing protection should be worn where required. (OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 and other
applicable regulations).

APPEARANCE: Solid odorless article. Coated abrasive product.
BOILING POINT: Not available.
FREEZE-MELT POINT: Not available.
VAPOR PRESSURE (mm): Not available.
VAPOR DENSITY (air = 1): Not available.
SOLUBILITY IN WATER: Not available.
SPECIFIC GRAVITY: Not available.
pH: Not available.
ODOR: Not available.
PERCENT VOLATILES: Not available.
EVAPORATION RATE (Butyl Acetate = 1): Not available.
10. Stability and Reactivity
CHEMICAL STABILITY: Stable.
INCOMPATIBILITY: Avoid all acids with a pH < 4.0.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: In use, dust and decomposing resin system fumes
are generated. In most cases, the material removed from the work piece will be significantly
greater than the coated abrasive product 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 decomposition may produce trace amounts of fluorides.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: None.
