SDS

Skin corrosion/irritation
Causes severe skin irritation or burns that may be irreversible.
Serious eye damage/eye
irritation
Can cause severe eye damage that may be irreversible.
Respiratory or skin sensitization
Respiratory sensitization
Not a respiratory sensitizer.
Skin sensitization
Not a skin sensitizer. Plaster of Paris has displayed little sensitization potential.
Germ cell mutagenicity
No data available to indicate product or any components present at greater than 0.1% are
mutagenic or genotoxic.
Carcinogenicity
Repeated and prolonged exposures to high levels of respirable crystalline silica may cause
cancer.
IARC Monographs. Overall Evaluation of Carcinogenicity
Crystalline silica (Quartz) (CAS 14808-60-7) 1 Carcinogenic to humans.
NTP Report on Carcinogens
Crystalline silica (Quartz) (CAS 14808-60-7) Known To Be Human Carcinogen.
Reproductive toxicity
Not expected to be a reproductive hazard.
Specific target organ toxicity -
single exposure
May cause respiratory irritation.
Specific target organ toxicity -
repeated exposure
May damage lung tissue through repeated and prolonged exposure to high levels of respirable
crystalline silica particles.
Aspiration hazard
Due to the physical form of the product it is not an aspiration hazard.
Chronic effects
Prolonged and routine inhalation of high levels of respirable crystalline silica particles can lead to
the lung disease known as silicosis. Some studies show excess numbers of cases of scleroderma,
connective tissue disorders, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic kidney diseases and end-stage
kidney disease in workers exposed to respirable crystalline silica. Pre-existing skin and respiratory
conditions including dermatitis, asthma and chronic lung disease might be aggravated by
exposure. Occupational exposure to respirable dust and respirable crystalline silica should be
monitored and controlled.
