SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Component Information/Information on Non-Hazardous Components The components of this product are not regulated as hazardous under 29 CFR and 49 CFR. However, the manufacturer recognizes the potential for respiratory tract irritation as a result of inhalation of this material as a respirable dust. See Sections 8, 11, 14 and 15 for further information. Emergency Overview Sodium polyacrylate is a white, granular, odorless polymer that forms a gel-like material with water. It is insoluble in water and causes slippery conditions when wet. Although not regulated as a hazardous material, the respirable dust is a potential respiratory tract irritant. An eight-hour exposure limit of 0.05 mg/m³ is recommended.
Potential health effects
Eyes Dust may cause burning, drying, itching and other discomfort resulting in reddening of the eyes. Skin Dust exposure, such as in manufacturing, may aggravate existing skin conditions due to drying. Ingestion Not a likely route of entry. Tests show that polyacrylate absorbents are non-toxic if ingested. However, as in the instance of any non-food consumption, seek medical attention in the event of any adverse symptoms. Inhalation Respirable dust exposure may cause respiratory tract & lung irritation and may aggravate existing respiratory conditions.
