Reproductive toxicity : Based on available data, the classification criteria are not met.

Specific target organ toxicity (single exposure) : May cause respiratory irritation. 

Specific target organ toxicity (repeated 

exposure)

: Causes damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure. (Respirable crystalline silica 

in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources is listed by the International 

Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and National Toxicology Program (NTP) as a lung 

carcinogen. Prolonged exposure to respirable crystalline silica has been known to cause 

silicosis, a lung disease, which may be disabling. While there may be a factor of individual 

susceptibility to a given exposure to respirable silica dust, the risk of contracting silicosis and the 

severity of the disease is clearly related to the amount of dust exposure and the length of time 

(usually years) of exposure.)

Aspiration hazard : Based on available data, the classification criteria are not met.

Symptoms/injuries after inhalation : May cause respiratory tract irritation.

Symptoms/injuries after skin contact : Causes skin irritation. May cause burns in the presence of moisture. Skin contact during hydration 

may slowly develop sufficient heat that may cause severe burns possibly resulting in permanent 

injury. Do not allow product to harden around any body part or allow continuous, prolonged contact 

with skin. Handling can cause dry skin. May cause sensitisation by skin contact.

Symptoms/injuries after eye contact : Causes serious eye damage. May cause burns in the presence of moisture. Symptoms may include 

discomfort or pain, excess blinking and tear production, with possible redness and swelling.
