Medical Conditions Possibly
Aggravated by Exposure:

Hold eyelids open and flush with a steady, gentle stream of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek immediate
medical attention, preferably with an ophthalmologist.
Immediately wipe excess material off skin with a dry cloth then wash with soap and water for at least 5 minutes.
In case of inhalation due to spray mist, remove source of exposure and assure that victim is breathing. If notbreathing, administer cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 1-2 glasses of water to drink. Do notgive anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek medical attention immediately.
Inhalation of product may aggravate existing chromic respiratory problems such as asthma, emphysema or
bronchitis. Skin contact may aggravate existing skin disease.

15. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURESExtinguishing Media:
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:This material is compatible with all extinguishing media.
Firefighters should wear NIOSH/MSHA approved positive pressure breathing apparatus with full face-piece andfull chemical resistant protective clothing. Dike area to prevent runoff and contamination of water sources.
Dispose of fire control water later.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: This material is non-combustible.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Protection:

Wear chemical goggles, body-covering protective clothing, chemical resistant gloves, and rubber boots. Use
NIOSH approved respirator where mist occurs.
Absorb with liquid-binding materials such as sand, diatomite, acid binders, universal binders, or sawdust. Do
not allow liquid to enter sewers, or surface or ground water.

Spill Cleanup:

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling:
Storage:

Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing spray mist. Keep container closed. Promptly clean
residue from closures with cloth dampened with water. Promptly clean up spills.
oStore above 2 C. Freezing temperatures can cause irreversible precipitation of silica; therefore the productoshould be located in heated buildings. Avoid routine storage temperatures above 43 C. Keep containers
closed. Store in clean plastic or stainless steel containers.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Exposure:
Hold eyelids open and flush with a steady, gentle stream of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek immediate medical attention, preferably with an
ophthalmologist. If a physician is not immediately available, eye irrigation should be continued for an additional 15 minutes.
Skin Exposure:
Immediately wipe excess material off skin with a dry cloth then wash with plenty of soap and water for at least 5 minutes. See medical attention if
irritation develops or persists. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes and clean thoroughly before re-use.
Inhalation:
Remove from immediate source of exposure and assure that victim is breathing. If not breathing, administer cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). If
breathing is difficult, administer oxygen if available. Seek medical attention.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 1-2 glasses of water to drink. Do not give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Seek medical attention immediately. Do not leave victim unattended. To prevent aspiration of swallowed product, lay victim onside with head lower than waist. Vomiting may occur spontaneously. If vomiting occurs and the victim is conscious, give water to further dilute thechemical.
Medical Conditions Possibly Aggravated by Exposure:
Inhalation of product may aggravate existing chromic respiratory problems such as asthma, emphysema or bronchitis. Skin contact may aggravate
existing skin disease.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Component: CAS No. 14808-60-7 (Crystalline Silica)
This product contains fused silica, which consists of < 1.0% crystalline silica.
Inhalation:

Acute silicosis has been reported for exposure to extremely high crystalline silica concentrations particularly
when the particle size of the dust is very small. Acute silicosis is rapidly progressive with diffuse pulmonary
involvement and does not form classical silicotic nodules. The disease is often complicated by tuberculosis andcan develop only months after the initial exposure with the possibility of death within 1 or 2 years. This productcontains < 0.50% crystalline silica. Acute silicosis may not occur at the concentrations present.

Chronic:

Classic silicosis is characterized by the formation of scattered silica containing nodules of scar tissue in thelungs ranging in size from microscopic to greater than 1 cm. Simple silicosis (nodules < 1 cm) is generally
asymptomatic but may progress to debilitating complicated silicosis (nodules > 1 cm) with or without continued
exposure. Historically, workers who developed silicosis had greatly increased risks of developing anaccompanying tuberculosis infection (silicotuberculosis).
IARC has found inadequate evidence to link exposure to amorphous silica to cancer in animals. Limited data isavailable concerning the health effects of fused silica in animals or humans; however, animal studies indicate afibrogenic potential less than that of quartz. IARC has found inadequate evidence to link exposure toamorphous silica to cancer in animals.

Subchronic:

No data.

Other:

Silica particles <10 microns are considered respirable; however, particles retained in the lungs are generally
much smaller. Silica particles retained in the human lung have median diameters of 0.5-0.7 microns.
