Engineering : If use generates a dust, local exhaust ventilation is recommended.

Control Prevent inhalation by providing effective general and, when
necessary, local exhaust ventilation to draw dust away from
workers. Avoid high concentrations of dust in air and accumulation
of dust on equipment.
Gloves Procedures: Use good industrial hygiene practices to avoid skin contact. If
contact with the material may occur wear chemically protective
gloves.
Eye Protection : Safety glasses or goggles.
Respiratory : Use dust masks and depending upon your specific use,
Protection appropriate respirator can be used with all available regulations
Clothing : Long sleeve shirt is recommended.

Section 11 Toxicological Information

-- ACUTE EXPOSURE –
Eye Irritation : Not expected to cause eye irritation. Based on data from
components or similar materials. Particulates may cause
mechanical irritation. Solid particles (powder or dust) on the eye
may cause pain and irritation.
Skin Irritation : Not expected to be a primary skin irritant. Based on data from
components or similar materials.
Respiratory Irritation : Breathing of dust may cause coughing, mucous
production, and shortness of breath.
Dermal Toxicity : Rabbit LD50>5000 mg/kg. Based on data from components or
similar materials.
Inhalation Toxicity : Avoid inhalation of dust. Animal studies indicate the inhalation
of respirable polyacrylate dust may cause inflammatory changes
in the lung.
Oral Toxicity : Rat LD50>5000 mg/kg. Based on data from components or
similar materials.

-- CHRONIC EXPOSURE –
Chronic Toxicity : There were no observed adverse effects at exposures of
0.05 mg/m3. However, the inhalation of respirable dusts
should be avoided by implementing respiratory protection
measures and observing the recommended permissible
exposure limit of 0.05 mg/m3.
Carcinogenicity : Not listed as a carcinogen or suspect carcinogen by
OSHA.
Mutagenicity : No data available to indicate product or any components
present at greater than 0.1% are mutagenic or genotoxic.
Reproductive Toxicity: No data available to indicate either product or components
present at greater than 0.1% that may cause reproductive
toxicity.
Teratogenicity : No data available to indicate product or any components
contained at greater than 0.1% may cause birth defects.

airways (e.g.,asthmatics) may react to vapors. This
material readily absorbs moisture and may become thick
and gelatinous upon contact with mucous membranes of
the eye, or upon inhalation into the nasal passages.
