MSDS

The most significant route of occupational overexposure is contact with skin and eyes. The symptoms of overexposure to this product are
as follows:
INHALATION: Vapors, mists, sprays, or dusts of this product may cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Dusts from this product can
contain small amounts of crystalline Silica, a recognized carcinogen. Exposure to high concentrations of crystalline Silica can also cause
silicosis.
CONTACT WITH SKIN or EYES: Contact may cause eye or skin irritation. Prolonged skin contact can result in dermatitis.
SKIN ABSORPTION: No component of this product is reported to be absorbed through intact skin.
INGESTION: If the product is swallowed, irritation of the mouth, throat, and other tissues of the gastro-intestinal system can occur.
Ingestion of large amounts can cause irritation, pain, vomiting, and diarrhea.
HEALTH EFFECTS OR RISKS FROM EXPOSURE:
ACUTE: Depending on the duration of contact, overexposures can irritate the eyes, skin, mucous membranes, and other exposed tissue.
CHRONIC: Long-term skin contact can result in dermatitis or eye irritation. Prolonged or repeated inhalation overexposure to dust
could cause silicosis and lung cancer.
TARGET ORGANS: Acute: Eyes, skin. Chronic: Eyes, skin, lungs.
4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Victims of chemical exposure must be taken for medical attention if any adverse effects occur. Take a copy of label and MSDS to
physician or health professional with victim.
SKIN EXPOSURE: If this product contaminates the skin, wash with soap and water. Remove exposed or contaminated clothing, taking
care not to contaminate eyes. Victim must seek immediate medical attention if any adverse exposure symptoms develop.
EYE EXPOSURE: If this product enters the eyes, open victim's eyes while under gently running water. Use sufficient force to open
eyelids. Have victim "roll" eyes. Minimum flushing is for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
INHALATION: If vapors, mists, or sprays of this product are inhaled, remove victim to fresh air. Victim must seek immediate medical
attention if any adverse exposure symptoms develop. If necessary, use artificial respiration to support vital functions.
INGESTION: If this product is swallowed, CALL PHYSICIAN OR POISON CONTROL CENTER FOR MOST CURRENT
INFORMATION. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING, unless directed by medical personnel. Have victim rinse mouth with water, if
conscious. Never induce vomiting or give a diluent (e.g., water) to someone who is unconscious, having convulsions, or unable to
swallow. If contaminated individual is convulsing, maintain an open airway and obtain immediate medical attention.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Persons with pre-existing skin disorders, eye problems, impaired liver,
kidney, respiratory or lymphoid system function can be more susceptible to health effects associated with overexposures to this product.

personnel. If possible, prevent runoff water from entering storm drains, bodies of water, or other environmentally sensitive areas.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SPILL AND LEAK RESPONSE: Trained personnel using pre-planned procedures should respond to uncontrolled releases. Proper
protective equipment should be used. In case of a spill, clear the affected area and protect people.
RESPONSE TO INCIDENTAL RELEASES: Personnel who have received basic chemical safety training can generally handle small-
scale releases, such as 1 container of this product. Respond to incidental chemical releases by wearing gloves, goggles, and
appropriate body protection.
