Marbacream? Revision: November 2005
Acute Effects:
Inhalation: May cause upper respiratory tract irritation, burns, coughing and sneezing. Hydrocarbon
portion of this product could cause central nervous system effects including headache, dizziness,
drowsiness and even death. Hydrocarbon vapors are not normally expected to be a concern unless the
product is heated or used in very poorly ventilated spaces.
Eye: May cause severe irritation and burns. Potential corneal damage and blindness is possible.
Skin: May cause burning sensation, redness and irritation to the skin. Blistering of the skin has been
reported in severe exposures. This product may be absorbed through the skin. Cyanosis of the skin has
been reported with extended exposures.
Ingestion: Ingestion may be harmful or fatal if ingested. Likely to cause vomiting and nausea on ingestion.
Hypotension and cardiovascular collapse are possible are a result of ingestion.
Carcinogenicity: IARC, NTP, and OSHA do not list the primary ingredients in this product as carcinogens.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Renal (kidney) disorders, asthma, chronic lung disease,
dermatoses or any disorder affecting the mucus membranes.
Chronic Effects: Alumina is a low health risk by inhalation and should be treated as a nuisance dust. This
product may contain silicates <1% by weight. This product is not expected to have crystalline silica as a
component of the silicates. Most significant effects of this product have acute onset and are associated
with oxalic acid.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
Inhalation: Remove person to fresh air. If symptoms persist, obtain immediate medical attention. Keep
affected person at rest.
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting the lids to ensure contact with all
tissue of lids and eyes. Medical attention by an eye specialist should be provided as soon as possible.
Skin Contact: Promptly wash exposed areas with a soft soap and water for at least 15 minutes. If wetted
product soaks through clothing, remove promptly and wash all exposed areas. Consult a physician
promptly if irritation persists after washing. Wash clothing prior to reuse.
Ingestion: If swallowed, rinse mouth with water, do not swallow. Then dilute by drinking several glasses of
milk. Milk is preferred but if unavailable water can be used. Do not induce vomiting. Consult a physician
or poison control immediately. Never give anything by mouth to a convulsing, semi-conscious or
unconscious person. If mouth-to-mouth is needed, use a barrier device to prevent exposure to rescuer.

Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: Combustible liquids can generate accumulate static charges which can
cause ignition, if product is heated above the flashpoint. Do not re-use containers. Do not cut or burn
containers.
Fire-Fighting Equipment: Fire fighters should wear NIOSH approved, positive pressure, self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective clothing when fighting a fire involving this product.

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Initial Actions: Keep unnecessary people away. Isolate hazard area and deny entry. Control all potential
heat and ignition sources. Stay upwind. Ventilate spill area.
Small Spills: Wear appropriate protective equipment. Small spills can be cleaned up by using absorbent
and collecting in a clean dry container and cover. Wash down spill area. Wash tools used for clean-up.
Large Spills: Wear appropriate protective equipment. Respiratory protection may be required for clean-
up operations. Exposures must be determined for proper respiratory protection selection or use of
maximum respiratory protection is indicated. OSHA requires that employees using this material be trained
properly under (29 CFR 1910.1200 and/ or 29 CFR 1910.120) depending on the nature of the clean-up
operation. Use absorbents to contain spill. Carefully shovel material and place in clean dry container
and cover. Use non-sparking tools.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Handling Precautions: Review MSDS before use. Avoid contact with skin and clothing. Avoid inhaling dust.
Keep dust conditions to a minimum. Keep container closed when not in use. Protective equipment
should always be worn when working with this product. Do not handle near open flame, heat or sources
of ignition.
Storage Requirements: Keep material in a dry, cool place. Keep from direct sunlight. Do not store inside
vehicle where temperatures could exceed the flashpoint. Secure from access by children and pets.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
NOTE: HMIS PPE codes shown on the label in section 3 are maximum expected protection. More or less
protection may be appropriate depending on the conditions of use. Each user must determine the
appropriate code based on their use as recommended by the producer of the HMIS label.
Engineering Controls:
Ventilation: Provide general or local exhaust ventilation systems to maintain airborne concentrations below
OSHA PELs and other occupational exposure limits (Sec. 2). This product has a low vapor pressure.
Respiratory Protection: NIOSH approved HEPA respirator if overexposure potential exists. Respiratory
protection must provide the appropriate protection factors based on exposure levels. Respirator use by
employees is regulated by OSHA under 29 CFR 1910.134. A combination organic vapor and acid gas
respirator would be appropriate protection for this product if protection factors are not exceeded.
Protective Clothing/Equipment: Wear appropriate gloves to avoid direct skin contact. Goggles are
recommended to prevent direct eye contact. Impervious gloves (rubber or neoprene) and clothing (lab
coat/coveralls, and waterproof boots when wet) should be worn if exposure is possible. Protect open
wounds.
Other precautions: Do not eat or drink while using this compound, and keep out of reach of children and
animals. Assure that running water is available in areas of use, to facilitate flushing in case of eye or skin
exposure. In industrial settings, an appropriate eyewash facility should be available.
