Section 2
SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Preparation Hazards and This product is hazardous material as defined by 29 CFR1910.1200, OSHA Hazard
2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture
Communication Evaluation.
Appearance/Odor
Semi-solid paste with mild characteristic odor.
Principle Routes of Exposure
Inhalation, Eye contact, Skin contact
Potential health effects
ACUTE (short term): see Section 8 for exposure controls. Inhalation: High concentrations of dust may cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract with symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, and shortness of breath. Ingestion: Not an expected route of occupational exposure. If ingestion does occur, mild temporary stomach discomfort may result. Skin: May cause slight irritation. Eyes: May cause irritation as a foreign object in the eye. Tearing, blinking, and mild temporary pain may result as the material is rinsed from the eye by tears.
Long term hazards
see Section 11 for additional toxicological data In general, long-term exposures to high concentrations of dust may cause increased mucous flow in the nose and respiratory system airways. This condition usually disappears after exposure stops. Prolonged and repeated exposure to airborne free respirable crystalline silica can result in lung disease (i.e. silicosis) and/or lung cancer. The development of silicosis may increase the risks of additional health effects. The risk of developing silicosis is dependent upon the exposure intensity and duration. Prolonged and repeated breathing of dust may cause lung disease (pneumoconiosis).The extent and severity of lung injury correlates with the length of exposure and dust concentration. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may dry the skin, causing cracking or dermatitis.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
Pre-existing upper respiratory and lung diseases such as, but not limited to, bronchitis, emphysema, and asthma will be aggravated by dust exposure. Pre-existing skin diseases such as rashes and dermatitis will be aggravated by skin exposure.
