2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview:
Repeated or prolonged exposure may irritate eyes, skin and respiratory system. When first wetted, the product can heat
up to the boiling point of water. Flood with water to cool material. Repeated and prolonged inhalation of crystalline silica in
the form of quartz from occupational sources may cause cancer.

Form: Pellets
Color: Tan

Potential Health Effects:

Primary Routes of Exposure: Contact with skin and eyes. Exposure may also occur via inhalation or ingestion if
product dust is generated.

Eye Contact: Dust and /or product may cause eye discomfort and/or irritation seen as tearing and reddening.

Skin Contact: Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause skin irritation. The product gets hot as it first adsorbs
water.

Ingestion: The product gets hot as it first adsorbs water. Burns to moist body tissues can result if contact is
prolonged.

Inhalation: Exposure to dust particles generated from this material may cause irritation of the respiratory tract.
Repeated and prolonged inhalation of crystalline silica in the form of quartz from occupational sources may cause
cancer.

Chronic Effects: Prolonged or repeated inhalation may cause lung injury/cancer.

 4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye contact: Flush immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If eye irritation persists, consult a physician.

Skin contact: Wash off with soap and plenty of water. If skin irritation persists, call a physician.

After inhalation: Remove the victim into fresh air. If symptoms persist, call a physician.

After ingestion: Drink at least 2 glasses of water. Obtain medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.

Notes to physician: This product is a desiccant and generates heat as it adsorbs water. The used product can retain
material of a hazardous nature. Identify that material and treat symptomatically.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Suitable extinguishing media: Non-combustible. Use extinguishing media for surrounding fire.

Unsuitable extinguishing media: N.A.

Fire and explosion hazards: The product itself does not burn. The used product can retain material of a hazardous
nature. Identify that material and inform the fire fighters.

Special protective equipment: In the case of respirable dust and/or fumes, use self-contained breathing apparatus and
dust impervious protective suit.

Flash Point: N.A.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal protection: See Section 8.

Environmental precautions: No special environmental precautions required.

Clean-up: Sweep, shovel or vacuum spilled product into appropriate containers (do not use a vacuum if material has
contacted a hydrocarbon material). Pick-up and arrange disposal without creating dust. Never use spilled product.
Spilled product should be disposed of in accordance with all applicable government regulations.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling: Handle and open container with care. Avoid formation of dust particles. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Provide an electrical ground connection during loading and transfer operations to avoid static discharge in an explosive
atmosphere and to prevent persons handling the product from receiving static shocks. A copy of UOP's booklet,
"Precautions and Safe Practices for Handling Zeolite Molecular Sieve Adsorbents in Process Units", can be obtained from
your UOP representative at no cost.

Storage: Store in original container. Keep in a dry place.

 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering measures: Where natural ventilation is inadequate, especially in confined areas, use mechanical
ventilation, other engineering controls or respiratory protection to prevent inhalation of product dust.

Personal protection equipment: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

Eye protection: Safety glasses or goggles.

Hand protection: Protective gloves.

Skin and body protection: Work uniform and gloves to prevent prolonged contact.

Respiratory protection: In case of insufficient ventilation wear suitable respiratory equipment. Breathing apparatus
with filter: NIOSH classification N-100 or if oil/liquid aerosols are present P-100 (42 CFR 84).
