recommendations.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS BY ROUTE OF ENTRY
EYE: Can cause minor irritation, tearing and reddening.
SKIN: Can cause minor skin irritation, defatting, and dermatitis.
INHALATION: Can cause minor respiratory irritation. Inhalation of dusts produced during cutting, grinding or
sanding of this product may cause irritation of the respiratory tract.
Overexposure to crystalline silica may cause silicosis.
INGESTION: Ingestion is not an anticipated route of exposure. No hazard in normal industrial use.
LONG-TERM (CHRONIC) HEALTH EFFECTS
TARGET ORGAN(S): Lungs
REGULATED CARCINOGEN STATUS:
Unless noted below, this product does not contain regulated levels of NTP, IARC, ACGIH, or OSHA listed
carcinogens.
Crystalline silica
Vinyl acetate
EXISTING HEALTH CONDITIONS AFFECTED BY EXPOSURE: Lung disease
SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
IF IN EYES: Use an eye wash to remove a chemical from your eye regardless of the level of hazard. Flush the
affected eye for at least twenty minutes. Tilt the head to prevent chemical from transferring to the uncontaminated
eye. Seek medical advice after flushing.
IF ON SKIN: Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
IF VAPORS INHALED: Remove to fresh air. Call a physician if symptoms persist.
IF SWALLOWED: Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention if symptoms develop. Provide medical care
provider with this MSDS. Induced vomiting may lead to aspiration of the material into the lungs potentially causing
chemical pneumonitis that may be fatal.
SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT: Non flammable
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not established
LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT (% in air): Not established
UPPER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT (% in air): Not established
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: There is a possibility of pressure buildup in closed containers
when heated. Water spray may be used to cool the containers.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Persons exposed to products of combustion should wear self-
contained breathing apparatus and full protective equipment.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide
