Health Hazard Data
Crystalline silica is considered a known human carcinogen by NTP and IARC.
Carcinogenicity
Effects, Signs, and Symptoms of Overexposure:
Primary route of exposure: inhalation, eye contact. If the finished product is aggressively
sanded, it could produce hazardous levels of silica.
Eye Contact: May cause irritation and inflammation. Extensive contact could cause severe
burns.
Skin Contact: May cause drying and irritation. Extensive contact with wet or sweaty skin could
cause skin burns. Prolonged and repeated contact could cause contact dermatitis.
Inhalation: May cause mucous membrane irritation. In normal use, overexposure is unlikely.
Repeated or high exposures to fine dust from the most hazardous component, silica, could cause
silicosis (pulmonary fibrosis, or severe lung scarring), lung cancer, an increased risk of
tuberculosis, heart enlargement. Symptoms of chronic overexposure include shortness of breath,
coughing, wheezing, impaired lung function
Ingestion: Not likely to occur. Very low toxicity.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure:
Respiratory illnesses (bronchitis, emphysema, asthma). Smoking can increase the risk of lung
injury.
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Eyes: Flush eyes thoroughly, including under lids, with water for 15 minutes. Get immediate
medical attention for any redness, tearing, pain, or blurry vision.
Skin: Wash with plenty of water and mild soap.
Inhalation: Move the person to fresh air; support breathing.
Ingestion: Drink large amounts of water. Get medical advice (Poison Center: 1-800-222-1222).
Do not induce vomiting.

Reactivity Data
Stability Stable Conditions to avoid: None
acids, fluorine-containing compounds, aluminum metals,
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid):
ammonium salts.
Hazardous Decomposition or Byproducts: At high temperatures, crystalline silica in the product may
change its structure to form tridymite or cristobalite, which are an equal or greater health risk.
Wet material in contact with aluminum can generate hydrogen gas.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
Steps to Be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled
This material is usually not considered a hazardous or regulated waste (unless contaminated by
work procedures). Scoop or shovel into container, controlling dust. The material can be wetted
with water to control dust.
Waste Disposal Method:
Follow federal, state, and local regulations. Unused, uncontaminated material may be disposed
of in an approved landfill in accordance with all EPA, state, and county disposal regulations.
This material is not a waste by RCRA (40 CFR 261) criteria.

Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storing
Keep material dry until used. Follow manufacturer鈥檚 guidelines for mixing. Minimize dust
generation.
Other Precautions:
Carefully follow all EPA, state, and county regulations
Control Measures
Respiratory Protection (Specify Type): None
usually required. An N100 respirator is recommended if
there is a significant amount of dust or if sanding the finished product.
Ventilation: General (dilution) ventilation to control buildup of odors from Part A and B is usually
adequate.
Protective Clothing: None usually required
Wear chemical safety goggles to prevent particles in the eyes.
Eye Protection:
Work/Hygienic Practices
Follow standard good work practices: Wash with soap and water before eating, drinking,
smoking, applying cosmetics. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Do not eat, smoke,
or apply cosmetics when working with the product.
