Long term hazards

overexposure to Silica causes silicosis, a form of pulmonary fibrosis. Continued exposure to Silica can lead to cardiopulmonary impairment. IARC has determined that respirable crystalline Silica from occupational exposure is in Group 1, "sufficient evidence in humans for carcinogenicity". UNSATURATED POLYESTER: If ingested may cause gastrointestinal disturbances. Symptoms may include irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Contact with the skin may cause skin irritation. Repeated dermal exposures can result in an eczematous dermatitis caused by primary irritation and/or sensitization. Repeated or prolonged exposure to high vapor concentrations may be irritating to the mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. TITANIUM DIOXIDE: Results of a Dupont epidemiology study showed that employees who had been exposed to Titanium Dioxide pigments were at no greater risk of developing lung cancer than were employees who had not been exposed to Titanium Dioxide pigments. Based on the results of this study Dupont concluded that TiO2 pigments will not cause lung cancer or chronic respiratory disease in humans at concentrations experienced in the work place. FIRST AID: INHALATION: If inhaled, move individual to fresh air. Make comfortably warm but not hot. Use oxygen or artificial respiration as required. See a physician if irritation is present or persists. SKIN: In case of contact, remove contaminated clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap & plenty of water. See a physician if irritation is present or persists. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. EYE: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention. INGESTION: If swallowed, call a physician immediately. Induce vomiting only at the instructions of a physician. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. SECTION VI − STABILITY AND REACTIVITY DATA Stability: This product is stable Hazardous Polymerization: Hazardous polymerization may occur Avoid exposure to excessive heat, peroxides and polymerization catalysts. INCOMPATIBILITY: Iron Oxides are not compatible with hydrazine, calcium hypochlorite, performic acid, and bromine pentafluoride. POLYESTER: Strong acids, peroxides, oxidizing agents. Calcium Carbonate reacts with acids to liberate CO2. CONDITIONS TO AVOID: POLYESTER: Avoid exposure to heat, open flame or contamination with oxidizing agents. Dissolution of material with uninhibited unsaturated monomers can result in exothermic autopolymerization. HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Oxides of Carbon; incompletely burned hydrocarbons. Toxic Fumes. SECTION VII − SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED Confine spill. Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate area and maintain ventilation. Use all described protective measures and equipment. Use absorbant material, such as clay or sand, to collect and contain for salvage and disposal. Prevent runoff from entering drains, sewers or waterways. WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Follow all applicable Federal, Provincial, State and Municipal laws, regulations and by−laws. Package in U.N. approved containers and transport to an approved treatment, storage and disposal (TSD) facility. (Also see Section X.)

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Use appropriate NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection when exposure to airborne contaminants may exceed acceptable limits. In emergency situations, or when used in confined spaces, use self−contained breathing apparatus or other air supplied full− face respirator. VENTILATION: Ventilate to maintain exposure below published exposure limits. Use explosion proof motors and wiring. PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Use impervious butyl rubber gloves. Replace as often as needed to maintain protection. EYE PROTECTION: Use chemical safety goggles or full−face shield. OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Eye wash stations & safety showers should be easily accessible. Where splash can occur, use protective clothing. SECTION IX − SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING: Avoid contact with eyes, skin, clothing. Avoid breathing vapor, mist or spray. Use with good ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. Store in cool, dry area in closed containers away from incompatible materials. Store away from sunlight, heat, sparks and open flames. Protect containers against physical damage. Do not smoke in work area. Do not store near food or feed. OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Since emptied containers retain product residues (vapor, liquid or solid), all hazard precautions listed in the MSDS should be observed!
