CARCINOGENIC ASSESSMENT (NTP ANNUAL REPORT, IARC MONOGRAPHS, OTHER): none
VI: REACITVITY DATA
Stability: Stable
Conditions to avoid:
Incompatibility (materials to avoid): Glass will react with Hydrofluoric Acid
Hazardous decomposition products (including combustion products):
Hazardous polymerization products: will not occur
VII: PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
Safe handling information
Storage and Transport
Use good housekeeping practices to reduce dust. Avoid breakage of bagged material or spills of bulk
material. Use adequate ventilation and dust collection. Do not permit dust to collect on walls, floors,
ledges, machinery, or equipment. Suggested use of dustless system (vacuum) for handling, storage and
clean-up so that airborne particulate does not exceed the permissible exposure limit. Suggested use of
impervious gloves and safety goggles to reduce skin and eye contact. Avoid dry sweeping. Dispose in
accordance with federal, state or local regulations. Material contaminated in use may have special
disposal requirements. Bags to remain closed and bulk loads covered to avoid dusting.
Spills and Disposal
No special storage or Transport requirements necessary.
Spills: Sweep or vacuum material for disposal. Prevent generation of dust during clean up. Disposal
through approved land waste site.
MATERIAL CONTAMINATED IN USE MAY REQUIRE SPECIAL HANDLING.
Fire/Explosion Hazard
Avoid contact with hydrofluoric acid.
As with any dust, there is the potential for a dust explosion and thus ventilation should be such that
gross levels of dust do not accumulate.
VIII. CONTROL MEASURES
Engineering Controls
Ensure ventilation is adequate to maintain dust exposure below the exposure standard for personnel
adjacent to the grit blasting area.
