3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
DANGER! CAUSES EYE, SKIN AND RESPIRATORY TRACT BURNS. Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing.
Avoid breathing airborne product.. Keep container closed. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after
handling.
This product is a/an green powder. Dike and contain spills. Keep out of sewers and waterways.

ACUTE EFFECTS:
HEALTH HAZARDS, GENERAL:
Particulates may cause mechanical irritation to the eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Particulate inhalation may lead to
pulmonary fibrosis, chronic bronchitis, emphysema and bronchial asthma. Dermatitis and asthma may result from short
contact periods.

INHALATION: Severely irritating to the respiratory tract if inhaled.

INGESTION: Harmful if swallowed. May cause burns in mucous membranes, throat, oesophagus and stomach.

SKIN: Corrosive to skin. May be absorbed through the skin.

10344 - X-CIDE 207

EYES: Corrosive to eyes. Risk of serious damage to eye.

CHRONIC EFFECTS:
SENSITIZATION:
May cause sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident on reexposure to this chemical.

CARCINOGENICITY:
IARC: Not listed. OSHA: Not regulated. NTP: Not listed.

ATTENTION! CANCER HAZARD. CONTAINS CRYSTALLINE SILICA WHICH CAN CAUSE CANCER. Risk
of cancer depends on duration and level of exposure.

IARC Monographs, Vol. 68, 1997, concludes that there is sufficient evidence that inhaled crystalline silica in the form of
quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources causes cancer in humans. IARC classification Group 1.

ROUTE OF ENTRY:
Inhalation. Skin and/or eye contact.

TARGET ORGANS:
Respiratory system, lungs. Skin. Eyes.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES

GENERAL: Persons seeking medical attention should carry a copy of this MSDS with them.

INHALATION: Move the exposed person to fresh air at once. Perform artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. Get medical attention.

INGESTION: Drink a couple of glasses water or milk. Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by a physician. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention.

SKIN: Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Get medical attention if any discomfort
continues.

EYES: Promptly wash eyes with lots of water while lifting the eye lids. Continue to rinse for at least 15 minutes. Get medical
attention if any discomfort continues.

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:

Wear positive-pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (including fire
fighting helmet, coat, pants, boots, and gloves). If protective equipment is not available or not used, fight fire from a
protected location or safe distance.

UNUSUAL FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS:

No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS:
Wear proper personal protective equipment (see MSDS Section 8).

SPILL CLEAN-UP PROCEDURES:

Avoid generating and spreading of dust. Shovel into dry containers. Cover and move the containers. Flush the area with
water. Do not contaminate drainage or waterways. Repackage or recycle if possible.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS:
Avoid handling causing generation of dust. Wear full protective clothing for prolonged exposure and/or high
concentrations. Eye wash and emergency shower must be available at the work place. Wash hands often and change
clothing when needed. Provide good ventilation. Mechanical ventilation or local exhaust ventilation is required.

STORAGE PRECAUTIONS:
Store at moderate temperatures in dry, well ventilated area. Keep in original container.

INGREDIENT COMMENTS:
* OSHA PELs for Mineral Dusts containing crystalline silica are 10 mg/m3 / (%SiO2+2) for quartz and 1/2 the calculated
quartz value for cristobalite and tridymite.

PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:

ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Use appropriate engineering controls such as, exhaust ventilation and process enclosure, to reduce air contamination and
keep worker exposure below the applicable limits.

VENTILATION: Supply natural or mechanical ventilation adequate to exhaust airborne product and keep exposures below the applicable
limits.

RESPIRATORS: If exposed to particulates/aerosols:

Use at least a NIOSH-approved N95 half-mask disposable or reuseable particulate respirator. In work environments
containing oil mist/aerosol use at least a NIOSH-approved P95 half-mask disposable or reuseable particulate respirator.
For exposures exceeding 10 x PEL use a NIOSH-approved N100 Particulate Respirator.
If exposed to organic vapors:
Use a NIOSH/MSHA-approved organic vapor respirator. CCROV: CCR with organic vapor cartridge.

PROTECTIVE GLOVES:
Use suitable protective gloves if risk of skin contact. Chemical resistant gloves required for prolonged or repeated contact.

EYE PROTECTION:
Wear dust resistant safety goggles where there is danger of eye contact.

3/7
10344 - X-CIDE 207

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING:
Wear appropriate clothing to prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact. Provide eyewash station and safety shower.

HYGIENIC WORK PRACTICES:

Wash promptly with soap and water if skin becomes contaminated. Change work clothing daily if there is any possibility
of contamination.
