SECTION III - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION |
Emergency Overview: This product
may flame during initial heat-up if in contact with glowing heating elements.
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: |
D-2A - Material causing other toxic
effects (VERY TOXIC - Chronic) |
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: 01 |
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.
Environmental Precautions: None normally
required.
SECTION VII - HANDLING AND STORAGE |
Storage Requirements: Store in dry area.
Always segregate materials by major hazard class.
Special Sensitivity or Incompatibility: Avoid
contact with strong acids.
Handling Precautions: Assure proper respiratory
protection if dust potential exceeds PEL/TLV.
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 |
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 mild
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.
