Precautionary statements

P201: Obtain instructions before use. P202: Do not handle until you have read and understood all safety precautions. P280: Wear protective gloves / protective clothing / eye protection / face protection. P284: Where ventilation of space is insufficient, wear respiratory protective equipment. P308 + P313 IF exposed or concerned Get medical advice / attention P405: Keep locked up. P501: Dispose of contents in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. Emergency overview Possible cancer hazard by inhalation for refractory ceramic fiber.

Potential chronic health

There has been no increased incidence of respiratory disease in studies examining occupationally exposed workers. In animal studies, long-term laboratory exposure to dozens hundreds of times higher than normal occupational exposures has produced fibrosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma in rats or hamsters. The fibers used in those studies were specially sized to maximize rodent respirability. Other potential effects Target organs: Respiratory Tract (nose & throat), Eyes, Skin Respiratory tract (nose & throat) irritation: If inhaled in sufficient quantity, may cause temporary, mild mechanical irritation to respiratory tract. Symptoms may include scratchiness of the nose or throat, cough or chest discomfort. Eye irritation: May cause temporary, mild mechanical irritation. Fibers may be abrasive; prolonged contact may cause damage to the outer surface of the eye. Skin irritation: May cause temporary, mild mechanical irritation. Exposure may also result in inflammation, rash or itching. Gastrointestinal irritation: Unlikely route of exposure.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Pre-existing medical conditions, including dermatitis, asthma or chronic lung disease may be aggravated by exposure; individuals who have a history of allergies may experience greater amounts of skin and respiratory irritation.
