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, overexposure may cause central nervous
                  system depression.  Also, if allowed to become airborne,
                  may cause irritation of nose, throat and lungs.
     SKIN:        No hazards known to company.
     EYES:        No hazards known to company.

·         Delayed Hazards

 
     Silica      7631-86-9     
     Can cause lung fibrosis.  Pre-existing respiratory disorders may
     be aggravated by exposure.
     -- See Footnote C.
     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.
     EYES:        Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water.  Call a
                  physician if irritation persists.

5. Fire Fighting Measures

 
     Autoignition Temperature            Not available
     Upper/Lower Flammable Limits        Not applicable
     Up/Lower Explosive Limits, % by Vol Not applicable
     Flash Point                         Not applicable
     Will not burn unless water has evaporated.  Dried material may
     burn.
     In case of fire, water should be used 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 vapor.

7.2 Storage

 
     Store in a cool, dry place.
     Keep containers tightly closed.
     Exposure to small amounts of moisture, even moisture in air, causes
     polymerization and renders the product unusable.

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.

8.3 Exposure Guidelines
