SECTION III - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview: This product
is non-hazardous under normal conditions of use. Airborne particulate created
during cutting and handling is considered nuisance dust and should be minimized
through the use of good work practices and adequate ventilation.
HMIS Rating:
Health: 1*
Fire: 0
Reactivity: 0
Personal Protection: E
WHMIS Class:
Not regulated under WHMIS.
Primary Routes of Entry: Via respirable
dust to the lungs and respiratory system and via coarse dust and particulate
to the eyes.
Primary Target Organs: Lungs, respiratory
system and eyes.
Potential Health Effects:
Inhalation: Long term overexposure to respirable crystalline
silica dust may cause permanent and irreversible lung damage including silicosis.
Skin Contact: Possible dryness or irritation
resulting from long term exposures to product dust.
Eye Contact: A mechanical irritant which
can cause moderate to severe eye irritation.
Ingestion: Non-hazardous when ingested.
Potentially a mild irritant to the GI tract if excessive quantity is ingested.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure:
Pre-existing chronic upper respiratory and lung diseases such as, but not
limited to, bronchitis, emphysema and asthma.
Carcinogenicity: This product contains crystalline silica which is classified as a class 1,
human carcinogen by IARC, as a suspect carcinogen by NTP and as a possible select carcinogen by OSHA.
SECTION IV - FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Drink water
to clear throat and blow nose to evacuate dust. If coughing and irritation
develop, call a physician.
Eye Contact: Flush with large amounts of
water until irritation subsides, at least 15 minutes. See a physician if
irritation persists.
Skin Contact: Normal good personal hygiene
practices. Wash with mild soap and warm water after each exposure.
Ingestion: Emergency procedures not normally
required. May be a temporary irritant to the GI system.
SECTION V - FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
NFPA Rating:
Health: 0
Fire: 0
Reactivity: 0
Other: 0
Flashpoint and Method: This is a non-flammable product
LEL: N/Ap
UEL: N/Ap
Extinguishing Method: Not applicable. Product will not burn.
Special Firefighting Procedures: Not applicable.
Fire or explosion Hazards: None.
SECTION VI - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Clean-up Procedures: Pick up or shovel material
into waste container taking care to minimize dust. Wet down if necessary
to control dust. Vacuum clean dust with equipment fitted with HEPA filter
Personal Precautions: : If dusty
conditions exist, wear a face mask approved for use with dusts such as 3M 8511
N-95 or equivalent.
SECTION VIII - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respiratory Protection: : When
over PEL/TLV wear an approved face mask such as 3M 8511 N-95 or equivalent,
to protect against silica and pneumoconiosis producing dust. Concentrations
of dust that exceed the recommendations of the dust mask manufacturer will need
a higher level of respiratory protection, such as a half mask respirator with
appropriate dust filters.
Eye Protection:Wear safety glasses with side shields,
goggles or face shield when cutting, milling or abrading to protect eyes against dust
and particulate.
Skin Protection: Under normal conditions
the wearing of protective gloves and clean, body-covering clothing should
be adequate.
Engineering Controls: Maintain sufficient
mechanical or natural ventilation to assure dust concentrations remain below
PEL/TLV. Use local exhaust if necessary. Power equipment should be equipped
with properly designed dust collection devices.

SECTION XI - TOXICOLOGICAL/ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
LD50: N/Av
LC50:
N/Av
Toxicological Hazards: Some medical studies of wollastonite mine and mill workers suggest that long
term cumulative exposures to wollastonite dust may cause decreased pulmonary function or mind industrial bronchitis, particularly in
workers who smoke.
Ecological Hazards: Most ingredients in
this product are naturally occurring minerals. Unless contaminated in service,
this product is non-hazardous to the environment.
SECTION XII - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Waste Disposal Method: May be disposed in
an approved landfill unless contaminated in service. If contaminated with
hazardous materials, place waste in suitable container. Seal and properly
label the waste container. Send the container to an approved Transportation,
Storage and Disposal (TSD) facility via an approved waste hauler. Be sure
manifests have been completed and an adequate "Paper trail" has
been established.
