SECTION V
HEALTH HAZARD DATA

Nuisance dust can be released during dry sanding of this product. Eye, skin, nose, throat, and upper respiratory
irritation can occur with prolonged dust exposure.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
ACUTE:
EYES: Direct contact can cause mechanical irritation of eyes. If burning, redness, itching, pain or other symptoms
persist or develop, consult physician.
SKIN: When mixed with water, this material hardens and then slowly becomes hot. DO NOT attempt to make a cast
enclosing any part of the body using this material. Failure to follow these instructions can cause severe burns that may
require surgical removal of affected tissue or amputation of limb. Direct, prolonged or repeated contact with the skin
may cause irritation. Rubbing of this product against the skin can result in abrasions. Rinse with water until free of
material to avoid abrasions, then wash skin thoroughly with mild soap and water. May dry skin. If irritation persists,
consult physician.
INHALATION: Inhalation of dust from this product may irritate the nose, throat, lungs, and upper respiratory tract.
Persons subjected to large amounts of this dust will be forced to leave area because of nuisance conditions such as
coughing, sneezing and nasal irritation from dust. Labored breathing may occur after excessive inhalation. If
respiratory symptoms persist, consult physician.
INGESTION: Unlikely to occur, but may cause gastric disturbances if swallowed. Plaster of paris is nontoxic, however,
ingestion of a sufficient quantity could lead to mechanical obstruction of the gut, especially the pyloric region. See
Emergency and First Aid ?Ingestion below.

CHRONIC: This material displays no specific toxic properties.
EYES: None known.
SKIN: None known.
INHALATION: Prolonged and repeated exposure to respirable crystalline silica may result in lung disease (i.e. silicosis)
and/or lung cancer. Long-term breathing of large amounts of respirable mica may cause lung disease.
INGESTION: No known effects.

EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
EYES: Immediately flush thoroughly with water for 15 minutes. If irritation persists, consult physician.
SKIN: Rinse with water, then wash with mild soap and water. A commercially available hand lotion may be used to
treat dry skin areas. If skin has become cracked, take appropriate action to prevent infection and promote healing. If
irritation persists, consult physician.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. Leave the area of dust exposure and remain away until coughing and other
symptoms subside. Other measures are usually not necessary, however, if conditions warrant, contact physician.

INGESTION: No harmful effects expected. No specific recommendation. If gastric disturbance occurs, call physician.
This product contains gypsum plaster. Plaster of paris hardens when wetted and, if ingested, may result in obstruction
of the gut, especially the pyloric region.

TARGET ORGANS: Eyes, skin, and respiratory system.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS WHICH MAY BE AGGRAVATED: Pre-existing upper respiratory and lung diseases such as,
but not limited to, bronchitis, emphysema and asthma.
PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY: Inhalation; Eye and/or Skin contact.

CARCINOGENICITY OF INGREDIENTS:
MATERIAL IARC NTP
Crystalline Silica Group 1 Anticipated
The average concentration of respirable crystalline silica measured in USG plaster of paris was less than 0.1 Wt. %.
However, the quantity of respirable crystalline silica in this product has not been determined.

In June, 1997, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified crystalline silica (quartz and
cristobalite) as a human carcinogen. In making the overall evaluation, the IARC Working Group noted that
carcinogenicity in humans was not detected in all industrial circumstances studies. Carcinogenicity may be dependent
on inherent characteristics of the crystalline silica or on external factors affecting its biological activity or distribution of
its polymorphs.
IARC states that crystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources in carcinogenic
to humans (Group 1).

SECTION VI
REACTIVITY DATA

STABILITY: Stable.
INCOMPATIBILITY: Acids.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION: Stable under normal temperature and pressure. Thermal decomposition will
produce H2O, CO2, CO, and acetic acid. Product will decompose at
temperatures above 1450糃 to CaO and SO2.

SECTION VII
SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
Use normal clean up procedure. Shovel material from spillage into a waste container for disposal, avoid creating
excessive dust and minimize airborne dust. If already mixed with water, scoop up and place in disposable container.
Wear appropriate protection equipment. If washed down, may plug drains.

WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:
Dispose of material in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations. Slurry may plug drains.

SECTION VIII
SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION

No TLV assigned to this mixture; see Ingredients Section. Minimize dust exposures in accordance with good hygiene
practice.

?EASY SAND?20, EASY SAND?30, EASY SAND?45, EASY
SAND?90, EASY SAND?210, EASY SAND?300

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
Not typically necessary under normal conditions of use. Provide general ventilation and local exhaust ventilation to
meet TLV requirements of individual ingredients and to control dusting conditions. Avoid creating dust. Wear a
NIOSH/MSHA-approved respirator when dusty conditions exist, in poorly ventilated areas, and if TLV is exceeded.

VENTILATION:
General ventilation is expected to be adequate, but if necessary use local exhaust ventilation to keep exposures below
TLV.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
Wear eye protection (safety glasses or goggles) to avoid particulate irritation of the eye. Gloves or protective clothing
are usually not necessary, but may be desirable in specific work situations. Wear adequate clothing to minimize
chafing or drying of skin.

SECTION IX
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE:
Normal precautions should be followed in handling, storage, and use. During handling and use wear the appropriate
respiratory, eye and skin protection of warranted per environmental conditions.

Use wet sanding technique to reduce dust exposure when finishing joints. See 褾inishing and Decorating Gypsum
Panels ?Wet Sanding, J-610/12-87?

Recommended Storage Methods: Keep dry. Dew point conditions or other conditions causing presence of liquid will
harden this material during storage.

DWARNING!
When mixed with water, this material hardens and then slowly becomes hot. DO NOT attempt to make a cast
enclosing any part of the body using this material. Failure to follow these instructions can cause severe burns that may
require surgical removal of affected tissue or amputation of limb. Dust generated from sanding product may cause eye,
skin, nose, throat or respiratory irritation. Use wet-sanding to avoid creating dust. Avoid inhalation of dust and eye
contact. If dusty, wear a NIOSH/MSHA-approved respirator. Prolonged and repeated exposure to respirable mica may
cause lung disease. Wear eye protection. Provide good general ventilation and local exhaust ventilation to avoid
excessive amounts of dust. If eye contact occurs, flush thoroughly with water for 15 minutes. If irritation persists, call
physician. Do not ingest. If ingested, call physician. Product safety information: (800) 507-8899.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
