Material Safety Data
THESE LEVELS ARE "TYPICAL" QUANTITIES AND MAY CHANGE SLIGHTLY WITH DIFFERENT LOTS. THE TERM
"LESS THAN" INDICATES THAT THE SUBSTANCE WAS DETECTED, BUT THE AMOUNT WAS LESS THAN THE
QUANTIFIABLE LIMIT.
SECTION III - PHYSICAL DATA:
BOILING POINT (F): NOT APPLICABLE
VAPOR PRESSURE (mmHg): NOT APPLICABLE
VAPOR DENSITY: NOT APPLICABLE
SOLUBILITY IN WATER: INSOLUBLE
SPECIFIC GRAVITY: 3.1 - 3.8
PERCENT VOLATILE BY WEIGHT: 0
EVAPORATION RATE: 0
APPEARANCE AND ODOR: BROWN TO DARK BROWN POWDER. NO ODOR.
SECTION IV - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA:
FLASH POINT: IF EXPOSED TO OPEN FLAME, UMBER WILL SMOLDER.
FLAMMABLE LIMITS: LEL- NOT-APPLICABLE
UEL - NOT-APPLICABLE
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: AS APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING COMBUSTIBLES. WHEN EXPOSED TO
AN OPEN FLAME, UMBER WILL SUPPORT OXIDATION, GENERATING HEAT.
UMBER WILL NOT SELF-IGNITE, HOWEVER.
UNUSUAL FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARDS: NONE
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: FIRE FIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS.
SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA:
SILICA - 10 mg/M3/%SiO2 - 2
THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUES:
OR 50 mppcf/%SiO2 + 5 (OSHA);
0.1 mg/M3, RESPIRABLE DUST
(ACGIH); 0.3 mg/M3 TOTAL DUST (ACGIH); 0.05 mg/M3
RECOMMENDED PEL (NIOSH).
SUMMARY OF RISKS: SKIN CONTACT MAY CAUSE MECHANICAL IRRITATION DUE TO THE ABRASION.
EYE CONTACT WILL RESULT IN NO SPECIFIC EFFECTS OTHER THAN GENERAL
PARTICULATE IRRITATION IN THE EYE. NOT ABSORBED BY THE BODY.
EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE ABOVE THE TLV CAN GIVE MILD PULMONARY
IRRITATION.
PRIMARY ENTRY ROUTE(S): INHALATION, INGESTION
ACUTE EFFECTS: INHALATION OF THE DUST MAY CAUSE MECHANICAL IRRITATION TO THE
RESPIRATORY TRACT. SKIN AND EYE CANTACT MAY CAUSE A MECHANICAL
ABRASION IRRITATION.
CHRONIC EFFECT(S): LONG-TERM OVEREXPOSURE TO SILICA CAUSES SILICOSIS, A FORM OF
PULMONARY FIBROSIS. CONTINUED EXPOSURE TO SILICA CAN LEAD TO
CARDIOPULMONARY IMPAIRMENT.

Material Safety Data
EMERGENCY AND FIRST-AID
EYE CONTACT: FLUSH THOROUGHLY WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. GET
MEDICAL HELP IF IRRITATION PERSISTS.
SKIN CONTACT: WASH FROM SKIN WITH MILD SOAP AND WATER.
INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. GET MEDICAL HELP FOR ANY BREATHING DIFFICULTY.
INGESTION: IF CONSCIOUS, GIVE LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER TO INDUCE VOMITING. GET
MEDICAL ATTENTION.
CARCINOGENICITY: CRYSTALLINE SILICA WHICH MAY BE PRESENT IN QUANTITIES GREATER THAN
0.1% HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY IARC. IARC HAS RECLASSIFIED CRYSTALLINE
SILICA AS A CLASS 1 SUBSTANCE OR KNOWN CARCINOGEN. NTP HAS
CLASSIFIED IT AS A SUBSTANCE REASONABLY ANTICIPATED TO BE A
CARCINOGEN.
SECTION VI - REACTIVITY DATA:
PRODUCT IS STABLE UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS.
INCOMPATIBILITY: MnO2 IS A POWERFUL OXIDIZER. IT MUST NOT BE HEATED OR RUBBED
AGAINST EASILY OXIDIZABLE MATTER. SHOULD NOT BE COMBINED WITH
FLAMMABLE MATERIALS.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: NONE
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION WILL NOT OCCUR.
SECTION VII - SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES:
STEPS TO TAKE IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: NOTIFY SAFETY PERSONNEL OF MAJOR
RELEASED OR SPILLED SPILLS. PROVIDE VENTILATION. CLEANUP PERSONNEL NEED PROTECTION
AGAINST EYE CONTACT AND INHALATION OF DUST. PICK UP SPILLS TAKING CARE TO AVOID RAISING DUST
CLOUDS (VACUUM OR WET SWEEPING IS RECOMMENDED). PLACE IN CLOSED CONTAINER FOR DISPOSAL.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: DISPOSE IN APPROVED LANDFILL. DISPOSAL MUST BE MADE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS.
PURSUANT TO 40 CFR PART 261 OF THE RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND
RECOVERY ACT (RCRA) REGULATIONS CURRENTLY IN EFFECT, DISCARDED
UMBER WOULD NOT BE CLASSIFIED AS A HAZARDOUS WASTE.
SECTION VIII - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION:
EYE PROTECTION: (USE MOST APPROPRIATE) SAFETY GLASSES, GOGGGLES, FACE SHIELD.
SKIN PROTECTION: LEATHER OR RUBBER GLOVES.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: USE OF A NIOSH DUST RESPIRATOR IS RECOMMENDED TO CONTROL DUST
BELOW EXPOSURE LIMITS.
WORKPLACE CONSIDERATIONS:
VENTILATION: PROVIDE ADEQUATE EXHAUST VENTILATION TO MEET TLV REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DUST IN
THEWORKPLACE. AN EXHAUST FILTER SYSTEM MAY BE REQUIRED TO AVOID

ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION.
SAFETY STATIONS: AN EYE WASH STATION SHOULD BE AVAILABLE TO THE AREA OF USE.
OTHER: GOOD INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE PRACTICE REQUIRES THAT EMPLOYEE EXPOSURE BE
MAINTAINED BELOW THE RECOMMENDED TLV. THIS IS PREFERABLY ACHIEVED THROUGH THE
PROVISION OF ADEQUATE VENTILATION WHERE NECESSARY. WHERE DUST CANNOT BE
CONTROLLED IN THIS WAY, PERSONAL RESPIRATORY PROTECTION SHOULD BE EMPLOYED.
