Section 4 – First-aid Measures

4(a) Description of Necessary Measures:
• Inhalation: Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell.
• Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Get
medical advice/attention if you feel unwell.
• Skin Contact: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention.
• Ingestion: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell.
4(b) Most Important Symptoms/Effects, Acute and Delayed (Chronic):
Acute effects:
• Inhalation: Excessive exposure to high concentrations of dust may cause irritation to the eyes, skin and mucous membranes of the upper
respiratory tract.
• Eye: Excessive exposure to high concentrations of dust may cause irritation to the eyes.
• Skin: Skin contact with dusts may cause irritation or dermatitis.
• Ingestion: Ingestion of dust may cause nausea and/or vomiting.
Chronic Effects:
Individuals with chronic respiratory disorders (i.e., asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, etc.) may be adversely affected by any airborne
particulate matter exposure. Persons with pre-existing skin disorders may be more susceptible to dermatitis.
4(c) Immediate Medical Attention and Special Treatment: Treat symptomatically.

Section 5 – Fire-fighting Measures

5(a) Suitable (and Unsuitable) Extinguishing Media: Use extinguishers appropriate for surrounding materials.
5(b) Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical: Not applicable for solid product.
5(c) Special Protective Equipment and Precautions for Fire-fighters: Self-contained NIOSH approved respiratory protection and full
protective clothing should be worn when fumes and/or smoke from fire are present. Heat and flames cause emittance of acrid smoke and fumes.
Do not release runoff from fire control methods into sewers or waterways. Firefighters should wear full face-piece self-contained breathing
apparatus and chemical protective clothing with thermal protection. Direct water stream will scatter and spread flames and, therefore, should not
be used.

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures

6(a) Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures: For spills involving finely divided particles, clean-up
personnel should be protected against contact with eyes and skin. If material is in a dry state, avoid inhalation of dust. Personnel should be
protected against contact with eyes and skin. Fine, dry material should be removed by vacuuming or wet sweeping methods to prevent spreading
of dust. Avoid using compressed air. Do not release into sewers or waterways.
6(b) Methods and Materials for Containment and Clean Up: Collect material in appropriate, labeled containers for recovery or disposal in
accordance with federal, state, and local regulations. Follow applicable OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1910.120) and all other pertinent state and
federal requirements.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

7(a) Precautions for Safe Handling: Operations with the potential for generating high concentrations of airborne particulates should be evaluated
and controlled as necessary. Practice good housekeeping. Do not breathe metal fumes and/or dust. Emergency safety showers and eye wash
stations should be present.
7(b) Conditions for Safe Storage, Including any Incompatibilities: Store away from incompatible materials.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

8(a) Occupational Exposure Limits (OELs): The following exposure limits are offered as reference, for an experience industrial hygienist to
review.
Ingredients OSHA PEL 1 ACGIH TLV 2 NIOSH REL 3 IDLH 4
Metallic silicates* NE NE NE NE
Iron Oxides 10 mg/m³ (iron oxide fume) 5.0 mg/m³ (iron oxide, respirable 5.0 mg/m³ (iron oxide dust 2,500 mg/m3 (as Fe)
fraction5) and fume)
Calcium Sulfide NE NE NE NE
NE - None Established
* Varying metallic silicates may be present in varying forms.
1. OSHA PELs (Permissible Exposure Limits) are 8-hour TWA (time-weighted average) concentrations unless otherwise noted. A (“C”) designation denotes a ceiling limit, which should
not be exceeded during any part of the working exposure unless otherwise noted. A Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL) is defined as a 15-minute exposure, which should not be
exceeded at any time during a workday. An Action level (AL) is used by OSHA and NIOSH to express a health or physical hazard. They indicate the level of a harmful or toxic
substance/activity, which requires medical surveillance, increased industrial hygiene monitoring, or biological monitoring. Action Levels are generally set at one half of the PEL but the
actual level may vary from standard to standard. The intent is to identify a level at which the vast majority of randomly sampled exposures will be below the PEL.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection (continued)

8(a) Occupational Exposure Limits (OELs)(continued):
2. Threshold Limit Values (TLV) established by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) are 8-hour TWA concentrations unless otherwise noted.
ACGIH TLVs are for guideline purposes only and as such are not legal, regulatory limits for compliance purposes. DSEN – May cause dermal sensitization. This notation is used to
indicate the potential for dermal sensitization resulting from the interaction of an absorbed agent and ultraviolet light (i.e. photosensitization). RSEN – May cause respiratory
sensitization.
3. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Recommended Exposure Limits (NIOSH-REL)- Compendium of Policy and Statements. NIOSH, Cincinnati, OH (1992).
NIOSH is the federal agency designated to conduct research relative to occupational safety and health. As is the case with ACGIH TLVs, NIOSH RELs are for guideline purposes only
and as such are not legal, regulatory limits for compliance purposes.
4. The "immediately dangerous to life or health air concentration values (IDLHs)" are used by NIOSH as part of the respirator selection criteria and were first developed in the mid-1970's
by NIOSH. The Documentation for Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health Concentrations (IDLHs) is a compilation of the rationale and sources of information used by NIOSH
during the original determination of 387 IDLHs and their subsequent review and revision in 1994. Ca is designated as carcinogen.
5. Respirable fraction. The concentration of respirable dust for the application of this limit is to be determined from the fraction passing a size-selector with the characteristics defined in
ACGIH 2020 TLVs ® and BEIs ® Appendix D, paragraph C.

8(b) Appropriate Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation should be used to control the emission of air contaminants. General dilution
ventilation may assist with the reduction of air contaminant concentrations. Emergency eye wash stations and deluge safety showers should be
available in the work area.
8(c) Individual Protection Measures:
• Respiratory Protection: Seek professional advice prior to respirator selection and use. Follow OSHA respirator regulations
(29 CFR 1910.134) and, if necessary, use only a NIOSH-approved respirator. Select respirator based on its suitability to provide adequate
worker protection for given working conditions, level of airborne contamination, and presence of sufficient oxygen. Concentration in air of
the various contaminants determines the extent of respiratory protection needed. Half-face, negative-pressure, air-purifying respirator
equipped with P100 filter is acceptable for concentrations up to 10 times the exposure limit. Full-face, negative-pressure, air-purifying
respirator equipped with P100 filter is acceptable for concentrations up to 50 times the exposure limit. Protection by air-purifying negative-
pressure and powered air respirators is limited. Use a positive-pressure-demand, full-face, supplied air respirator or self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) for concentrations above 50 times the exposure limit. If exposure is above the IDLH (immediately dangerous to life or
health) for any of the constituents, or there is a possibility of an uncontrolled release or exposure levels are unknown, then use a positive-
demand, full-face, supplied air respirator with escape bottle or SCBA.
Warning! Air-purifying respirators both negative-pressure and powered-air do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
• Eyes: Wear eye protection/face protection. A face shield should be used when appropriate to prevent contact with splashed materials.
Chemical goggles, face shields or glasses should be worn to prevent eye contact. Contact lenses should not be worn where industrial
exposure to this material is likely.
• Skin: Persons handling this product should wear appropriate clothing to prevent skin contact. Wear protective gloves.
• Other protective equipment: An eyewash fountain and deluge shower should be readily available in the work area.

Occupational Exposure Values 2020, The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), The National Toxicology Program (NTP) updated documentation, the World Health
Organization (WHO) and other available resources, the International Uniform Chemical Information Database (IUCLID), European Union Risk Assessment Report (EU-RAR), Concise
International Chemical Assessment Documents (CICAD), European Union Scientific Committee for Occupational Exposure Limits (EU-SCOEL), Agency for Toxic Substances and
Disease Registry (ATSDR), Hazardous Substance Data Bank (HSDB), and International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS).

The following health hazard information is provided regardless to classification criteria and is based on the individual component(s):
Acute Effects by Component:
• METALLIC SILICATES: Magnesium Silicate may irritate the eyes. Potassium Silicate may be harmful if swallowed or contacts skin. Calcium
silicate may be harmful if swallowed.
• IRON OXIDE: Contact with iron oxide has been reported to cause skin irritation and serious eye damage.
• CALCIUM SULFIDE: Causes skin irritation, eye irritation and may cause respiratory irritation.
Delayed (chronic) Effects by Component:
• METALLIC SILICATES: Magnesium and Potassium Silicates are suspected of causing cancer by inhalation. Lifetime inhalation exposure of rats
and mice to atmospheres of magnesium silicate resulted in interstitial fibrosis of the lung and reduced pulmonary function in rats at =,> 6 mg/m3.
Calcium Silicate exposure to Wollastonite miners suggests that occupational exposure can cause impaired respiratory function and pneumoconiosis.
• IRON OXIDE: Chronic inhalation of excessive concentrations of iron oxide fumes or dusts may result in the development of a benign lung disease,
called siderosis, which is observable as an X-ray change. No physical impairment of lung function has been associated with siderosis. Inhalation of
excessive concentrations of ferric oxide may enhance the risk of lung cancer development in workers exposed to pulmonary carcinogens.
• CALCIUM SULFIDE: Not Reported/ Not Classified
