SECTION 2- HAZARD IDENTIFICATION

Fire: This preparation is not flammable.

Health: Potentially hazardous during normal handling and use as instructed.

Environment: No known hazards.

Other Hazards: CAUTION! – ACUTE HEALTH HAZZARD

This dry powder blend contains crystalline silica and quartz.
May cause eye and respiratory irritation.

DANGER! – CHRONIC HEALTH HAZZARD

This dry powder blend contains crystalline silica and quartz.
Breathing crystalline silica can cause lung disease including silicosis and lung cancer. Crystalline silica

SECTION 11- TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Principle route of exposure: Eye or Skin contact, Inhalation.

Inhalation: This dry powder blend contains crystalline silica and quartz. Inhaled crystalline silica in
the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources is carcinogenic to humans
(IARC, Group 1). There is sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the
carcinogenicity of tridymite (IARC, Group 2A).

This dry powder blend contains crystalline silica and quartz. Breathing silica dust may
cause irritation of the nose, throat and respiratory passages. Breathing silica may cause
noticeable injury or illness even through permanent lung damage may be occurring.
Inhalation of dust may also have serious chronic health effects (See “Chronic Effects /
Carcinogenicity” subsection below).

Skin Contact: Wet cement can dry skin and cause Alkali burns.

Eye Contact: Dust can irritate eyes.

Ingestion: No harmful affects known.

Medical conditions aggravated by exposure: Dermatitis

Silicosis: Excessive inhalation of respirable crystalline silica dust may
Chronic effects/ Carcinogenicity: cause a progressive, disabling and sometime-fatal lung disease called
silicosis. Symptoms include cough, shortened of breath, wheezing, non-
specific chest illness, and reduced pulmonary function. This disease is
exacerbated by smoking. Individuals will silicosis are predisposed to
develop tuberculosis.

Cancer Status: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)

has determined that crystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz or
crystallite from occupational sources can cause lung cancer in humans
(Group 1 – carcinogenic to humans) and has determined that there is
sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of
tridymite (Group 2A – possible carcinogen to humans). Refer to IARC
Monograph 68, Silica, Some Silicates and Organic Fibers (June 1997) in
conjunction with the use of these minerals. The National Toxicology
Program classifies respirable crystalline silica as “Known to be a human
carcinogen”. Refer to the 9th Report of Carcinogens (2000). The
American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH)
classifies crystalline silica, quartz, as a suspected human carcinogen
(A2).

There is some evidence that breathing respirable crystalline silica or the

disease silicosis is associated with an increased incidence of significant
endpoints such as acleroderma (an immune system disorder manifested
by scarring of the lungs, skin, and other internal organs) and kidney
disease.
This dry powder blend contains quartz, crystalline, silica and quartz. For
Other Information further information consult “Adverse Effects of Crystalline Silica
Exposure” published by the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical
Care Medicine, Volume 155, pages 71-768 (1997).

Toxicity Tests/ Carcinogenicity: This dry powder blend contains quartz, crystalline, silica and quartz.
Refer to IARC Monograph 68, Silica, Some Silicates and Organic Fibers
(June 1997).
