SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency Overview: Corrosive Material. Harmful if swallowed. Can cause eye and skin burns. May cause skin sensitization. Contains SILICA which can cause cancer. Risk of Cancer depends on duration and level of exposure. Effects Of Overexposure - Eye Contact: Can cause eye burns. Effects Of Overexposure - Skin Contact: May cause allergic skin reaction. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin. Can cause skin burns. Effects Of Overexposure - Inhalation: Harmful if inhaled, may affect the brain or nervous system, causing dizziness, headache, or nausea. May cause nose and throat irritation. May cause lung irritation. May cause allergic respiratory reaction, effects may be permanent. Effects Of Overexposure - Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. 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. Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Skin Contact, Skin Absorption, Inhalation, Eye Contact Medical Conditions Prone to Aggravation by Exposure: If sensitized to amines, epoxies, or other chemicals do not use. See a physician if a medical condition exists.
