3.2 Potential Health Effects
· Immediate Hazards
INGESTION: No hazards known to company.
INHALATION: Not expected to be harmful under normal conditions of
use. However, if allowed to become airborne, may cause
irritation of nose, throat and lungs.
SKIN: May cause irritation on prolonged or repeated contact.
EYES: May cause irritation on prolonged or repeated contact.
· Delayed Hazards
Limestone 1317-65-3
Can cause lung damage. Pre-existing respiratory disorders may be
aggravated by exposure.
-- See Footnote C.
Titanium Dioxide 13463-67-7
Inhalation at approximately 50 times the level permitted in an
occupational environment caused a slight increase in lung tumor
incidence in laboratory animals. No tumors were found at lower
exposure levels. This material is not listed by NTP, classified by
IARC nor regulated by OSHA as a carcinogen.
Can cause lung fibrosis. Pre-existing respiratory disorders may
be aggravated by exposure.
Quartz (SiO2) 14808-60-7
CANCER HAZARD. Can cause cancer. Use of this product may
generate silica dust (which may be invisible). Inhaled silica has
been classified by IARC as a human carcinogen.
Inhalation of silica dust may cause delayed lung injury or lung
fibrosis (including silicosis and/or pneumoconiosis) and/or other
diseases which may lead to permanent disability and/or death.
Silicosis is a form of disabling pulmonary fibrosis which can be
progressive. Prolonged exposure to respirable silica may cause
diminished lung capacity with shortness of breath during physical
exertion and may cause fatigue, breathlessness, wheezing, cough, and
sputum production. Pre-existing respiratory disorders may be
aggravated by exposure. Smoking may aggravate the effects of
exposure and may increase the risk of developing respiratory disease
from exposure. Consult with your employer and your doctor for
further information or if you believe you may be developing any
breathing or lung problems.
Footnote C: As of the date of issuance of this document, this
material has not been listed by NTP, classified by IARC nor regulated
by OSHA as a carcinogen.
4. First Aid Measures
INGESTION: If accidentally swallowed, dilute by drinking large
quantities of water. Immediately contact poison control
center or hospital emergency room for any other
additional treatment directions.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air.
SKIN: In case of irritation, flush with water.
EYES: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. Call
a physician if irritation persists.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Autoignition Temperature Not applicable

In case of fire, use water fog, dry chemical, foam or CO2. Use
water to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
6. Accidental Release
Measures
Sweep (scoop) up and remove to a chemical disposal area. Prevent
entry into natural bodies of water.
7. Handling and Storage
7.1 Handling
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety
practices. These practices include avoiding unnecessary exposure and
removal of the material from eyes, skin and clothing.
Wash thoroughly after handling. Always use appropriate Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE).
INHALATION: Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of dust or
vapor.
SKIN: Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin and clothing.
EYES: Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with eyes.
7.2 Storage
Keep away from excessive heat or open flame.
Store in a cool, dry place.
Keep containers tightly closed.
8. Exposure
Controls/Personal Protection
8.1 Exposure Controls
If airborne contaminants are generated when the material is heated or
handled, sufficient ventilation in volume and air flow patterns should
be provided to keep air contaminant concentration levels below
acceptable criteria.
8.2 Personal Protection
Where air contaminants can exceed acceptable criteria, use NIOSH/MSHA
approved respiratory protection equipment. Respirators should be
selected based on the form and concentration of contaminants in air
in accordance with OSHA laws and regulations or other applicable
standards or guidelines, including ANSI standards regarding
respiratory protection.
