Filler - FOR INDUSTRIAL USE

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency Overview: Contains SILICA which can cause cancer. Risk of Cancer depends on duration and level of exposure. Effects Of Overexposure - Eye Contact: Can cause eye irritation. Effects Of Overexposure - Skin Contact: Can cause skin irritation. Effects Of Overexposure - Inhalation: Shortness of breath, coughing, reduced pulmonary function. Prolonged inhalation of respirable silica will result in permanent lung damage, silicosis. Effects Of Overexposure - Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal discomfort. see a physician if discomfort persists. Effects Of Overexposure - Chronic Hazards: Crystalline silica is known to cause silicosis. Crystalline silica (Quartz) is classified as a known human carcinogen (Group 1) by IARC. Exposure is by route of inhalation. If material is in a liquid matrix it is unlikely to be inhaled. However, when sanding or grinding the finished product, there may be potential for crystalline silica to become airborne. Long term dust inhalation in excess of the PEL or TLV may decrease the ability of the lungs to clear particulate matter which may cause shortness of breath and increased susceptibility to respiratory disease.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Skin Contact, Inhalation, Ingestion, Eye Contact Medical Conditions Prone to Aggravation by Exposure: If you have a condition that could be aggravated by exposure to dust or organic vapors, see a physician prior to use.
