Classification of the substance or mixure

Potential health effects

Skin : May cause skin irritation. The product gets hot as it first adsorbs water. Eyes : Dust and/or product may cause eye discomfort and/or irritation seen as tearing and reddening. Ingestion : The product gets hot as it first adsorbs water. Burns to moist body tissue can result if contact is prolonged. Inhalation : Exposure to dust particles generated from this material may cause irritation of the respiratory tract. Repeated and prolonged inhalation of crystalline silica in the form of quartz from occupational sources may cause cancer. Chronic exposure : Prolonged or repeated inhalation may cause lung injury/cancer.

Principle Routes of Exposure

The product is in a sealed container. As long as the container is not opened, exposure should not take place.
