Agrilectric® RHA

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET


Section I - PRODUCT/COMPANY IDENTIFICATION
Manufacturer Agrilectric Research Company Product RHA
Address P.O. Box 3716 Date Prepared June 2001
Lake Charles, LA. 70602 Last Revision November 2011
Telephone 337-430-0006

Section II – COMPOSITION/DATA ON COMPONENTS


Chemical Characterization
CAS Number 71630-92-7 ashes (residues), rice husk

Section III – HAZARD IDENTIFICATION


Eye: May cause eye irritation on contact.
Skin: May cause skin irritation.
Inhalation:
Acute: Exposure to the product may cause irritation to the throat and nasal passages.
This product contains less than 1.5% crystalline silica. Rapidly developing silicosis
may result from heavy exposure to respirable crystalline silica where recommended
respiratory protection is not used.
Chronic: Cancer Hazard. This product contains less than 1.5% crystalline silica which is
listed by IARC and NTP as a known human carcinogen. Prolonged exposure to
respirable crystalline silica may cause silicosis. Silicosis is a form of progressive
disabling pulmonary fibrosis characterized by shortness of breath, coughing, and
diminished breathing capacity which may lead to death. If silicosis develops the
chances of getting tuberculosis are increased.

Section IV – FIRST AID


Eye: Flush thoroughly with water for 15 minutes. Consult physician if irritation persists.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Give oxygen or CPR if necessary, consult physician.
Skin: Flush with plenty of water. Wash clothing to remove dust.

Section V – FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA


Flash Point: Non-Flammable
Lower Limits: None
Upper Limits: None
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: None
Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards: None

Section VI – ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES


In case of Spill: Clean up in manner to minimize dust. Wetting of material reduces and
eliminates dust. Material can be washed from surfaces.
Waste Disposal Method: Dispose of according to local, state, and federal regulations.
Agrilectric® RHA 2

Section VII – HANDLING & STORAGE


Handling: Use dustless system for handling and employee engineering controls to reduce
concentrations of airborne dust. Avoid Spills.
Other Precautions: Post warning signs to alert personnel to potentially dusty areas. Practice
good housekeeping and provide approved respirators if workers are
exposed to dust.

Section VIII – EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONNEL PROTECTION


OSHA-PEL ACGIH-TLV
Components: TWA STEL TWA STEL
3
Amorphous Silica 80mg/m None 10 mg None
Crystalline Silica* % SiO2
Total dust 30mg/m3 None ____ None
% SiO2+2
Respirable dust 10mg/m3 None 0.05mg/m3 None
% SiO2 +2
Potassium Oxide None None None None
* For Cristobalite use ½ the amount calculated from the formula for Total dust and Respirable
dust

Engineering Controls: Good ventilation should be provided at all times. Local exhaust and
dust collection system (Bag house type) should be used to control
dust exposures.

Respiratory Protection: Where work place exposure limits are exceeded and engineering
controls are not practicable, use NIOSH/MSHA approved respirators
to control exposures.

Eye Protection: ANSI approved goggles.

Other protective equipment: Facilities using this material should be equipped with an eye
wash readily accessible in work areas.

Section IX – PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL PROPERTIES


Boiling Point: N/A Bulk Density (lb/ft3): 16-22
Vapor Pressure (mm Hg): N/A (gr/ltr): 256-352
Vapor Density (Air=1): N/A Melting Point: >2000° F
Evaporation Rate (Butyl Acetate=1): N/A Solubility in Water: Not Soluble
Appearance and Odor: Coarse Black Powder, No Odor.
Agrilectric® RHA 3

Section X – STABILITY & REACTIVITY


Hazardous Instability: None Known.
Polymerization: Will not occur.
Hazardous decomposition properties: May decompose to hydrogen chloride.
Incompatibility (materials to avoid): Hydrofluoric acid (HF) and other oxidizing agents.

Section XI – TOXICOLOGY INFORMATION


Skin: May be abrasive to the skin.
Eye: Can cause eye irritation.
Ingestion: Can cause irritation due to abrasiveness of silica.
Inhalation: Prolonged exposure to respirable crystalline silica may cause silicosis. Acute or
rapidly developing silicosis may occur in a short period of time during heavy
exposure to crystalline silica.
Carcinogenicity: The National Toxicology Program (NTP) concluded in its Ninth Annual Report
on Carcinogens that respirable crystalline silica is a known human
carcinogen. The International Agency for Research Causes (IARC) concluded
in its 1997 monographs on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risk to Humans
that respirable crystalline silica is known to be a human carcinogen.

Section XII – ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION


Ecological data have not been determined for this product.

Section XIII – DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS


Consult permitted waste disposal site to assure compliance with all current local, state and
federal regulations.

Section XIV – TRANSPORTATION N/A

Section XV – REGULATORY INFO


The Canadian Workplace Hazardous Material Information System (WHMIS) classification for
Silica is D2A. This product has been classified in accordance with the hazard criteria of the
Canadian Controlled Product Regulation (CPR) and the MSDS contains all the information
required by the CPR.
