Crystallites

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Silica Crystalline Silica may be present. Crystalline Silica may cause irritation to eyes, skin and the respiratory tract. Prolonged or repeated inhalation of silica, in excess of TLV, may lead to delayed lung injury (silicosis). This material is listed as a possible carcinogen.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Ingestion. Absorption through skin negligible. Inhalation only if sprayed. 5. First Aid Measures Swallowed Dilute by drinking water Eye Flush eyes with copious quantities of water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, contact a physician. Skin Wash skin with soap and water Inhaled Remove from exposure. Apply artificial respiration if breathing has stopped and contact physician. 6. Fire/Explosion Hazard Flash Point: N/A Flammable Limits: N/A Extinguishing Media: Not combustible Special Fire Fighting Procedure: None Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: None 7. Accidental Release Measures Spillage: Uncontaminated material may be recovered and re-used. If contaminated, scoop, vacuum or wash into receptacle for disposal. Waste Disposal: Follow Federal or State and Local regulations for disposal. Testing of the waste may be required to determine status under hazardous waste regulations. 8. Handling and Storage Engineering Control: None Work Practices: Store away from food. Do not smoke, eat or drink while handling. Procedure/ Equipment: None 9. Exposure Controls /Personal Protection Use of the following protective measures are strongly recommended if the glazes are to be applied by spraying. The work hygiene practices apply regardless of the method of application. Respiratory Protection: Use NIOSH approved dust and/or fume respirator as necessary. Ventilation: Local exhaust for spraying. Protective gloves: N/A Eye Protection: For spraying. Other Protection: Wear appropriate, clean, protective clothing such as, but not limited to overalls, smocks and aprons. Work Practices: Food, beverages and smoking materials should not be in the work area. Hygiene is very important. Wash thoroughly before eating, drinking and smoking or applying cosmetics. 10. Stability & Reactivity Data Incompatibility: N/A Stability: Stable. Hazardous decomposition: N/A
