SECTION V – HEALTH HAZARD DATA

Eye Contact: Crystalline silica (quartz) may cause abrasion of the

cornea.

Skin Contact: Wet compound can dry the skin and cause caustic

burns.

Ingestion: No adverse effects expected for incidental ingestion.

Chronic Effects: The adverse health effects — silicosis, lung

cancer, scleroderma, tuberculosis, and nephrotoxicity — are

chronic effects.

FIRST AID

Inhalation: No first aid is necessary since the adverse health effects

associated with exposure to crystalline silica (quartz) result from

chronic exposures. If there is a gross inhalation of crystalline silica

(quartz), remove the person immediately to fresh air, give artificial

respiration as needed, seek medical attention as needed.

Eye Contact: Wash eyes immediately and repeatedly with water

and seek prompt medical attention.

Skin Contact: Wash exposed skin with soap and water immediately.

Ingestion: If ingested, seek immediate medical attention. Drink

water.

IARC -The International Agency for Research on Cancer (“IARC”)

concluded that there was “sufficient evidence in humans for the

carcinogenicity of inhaled crystalline silica in the form of quartz or

cristobalite from occupational sources. ”The overall IARC

evaluation was that “crystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz or

cristobalite from occupational sources is carcinogenic to humans

(Group l).” The IARC evaluation noted that “carcinogenicity was not

detected in all industrial circumstances”. For further information on

the IARC evaluation, see IARC Monographs on the Evaluation of

Carcinogenic Risks to Humans, Volume 68,“Silica,Some

Silicates...”(1997). NTP –The National Toxicology Program, in its

Ninth Annual Report on Carcinogens, May 15, 2000, classified that

“respirable crystalline silica, primarily quartz dust occurring in

industrial and occupational settings, as known to be a human

carcinogen.”

SECTION VI – REACTIVITY DATA

Stability: Stable

Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): Contact with powerful oxidizing

agents such as fluorine, chlorine, trifluoride, oxygen difluoride, may

cause fires.

Hazardous Decomposition: None

Hazardous Polymerization: None

Conditions to Avoid: Avoid contact with water or moisture during

storage.

SECTION VII – SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR

SPILLED: Use appropriate respiratory protection. Limit dust with

water spray or vacuum. Provide ventilation. Refer to State and

Local Regulations for handling solid waste.

SECTION IX – SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS

Use only in applications as stated on the label. Do not take

internally. Close container after each use. Avoid skin and eye

contact.
