SECTION 3: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION



ROUTES OF ENTRY & POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:

   EYES: May cause eye irritation. Wear tight fitting goggles in dusty conditions.

   SKIN: May cause skin irritation. Wear protective clothing in dusty conditions.

   INGESTION: May be harmful if swallowed.

   INHALATION: WARNING: This product contains crystalline silica. Long-term overexposure to crystalline silica

   causes silicosis, a form of pulmonary fibrosis. Continued overexposure to silica can lead to cardiopulmonary

   impairment. Crystalline silica has been reviewed by IARC. IARC found sufficient evidence in humans for the

   carcinogenicity of inhaled crystalline silica in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources.

CHRONIC HEALTH HAZARDS: None known.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: None known.









                                                                  Product Data Sheet - MSDS

SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES



EYES: If contact with the eyes, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. Seek medical attention if irritation occurs.

SKIN: If contact with the skin, immediately wash skin with plenty of water. Seek medical attention if irritation occurs.

FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES: None

FLASH POINT: Not Applicable.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water, Carbon Dioxide, or Fire Extinguishers.

HMIS HAZARD CLASSIFICATION

    HEALTH: 1*                FLAMMABILITY: 1                                      REACTIVITY: 0

FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: This material will not burn.

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: None.

HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: None.





SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES



STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Scoop up dry material. Scrape wet material and

place in appropriate container. Avoid dust formation. Do not breathe dust. Dispose of according to local, state and

federal regulations.

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: Wash thoroughly after contact with dust or wet mixtures.

ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS: None listed.





SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE



HANDLING AND STORAGE: Handle this product in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices.

Use proper and adequate ventilation with dust collection to maintain airborne levels of crystalline silica to below the

PEL. Keep out of reach of children. Keep containers tightly closed. Store in a well ventilated area. Avoid dust

formation. Do not breathe dust.



Note: Quartz is incompatible with oxidizers such as hydrofluoric acid, fluorine, chlorine trifluoride, or oxygen difluoride.





SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION



VENTILATION: Use with adequate ventilation.

EYE PROTECTION: Wear tight fitting goggles if there is potential for exposure to particles which could cause eye

discomfort.

SKIN PROTECTION: Wear protective clothing in dusty conditions. Anti-static clothing is recommended.

WORK HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Do not consume food in work area. Wash hands before smoking or eating.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Use a NIOSH approved respiratory protection when there is a potential to exceed

exposure guidelines (see table below). Appropriate respiratory protection for respirable crystalline silica is based on

the airborne exposure concentration and duration of exposure for the particular use of a respirator. A respiratory

protection program in accordance with OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.134 must be implemented whenever workplace

conditions warrant use of a respirator. NIOSH recommends the use of respiratory protection when effective

engineering controls are not feasible, or while they are being installed to control workplace exposure to crystalline

silica.
