SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Potential Human Health Effects: May cause irritation of the eyes, mucous membranes, and respiratory tract. May be harmful by inhalation or ingestion. Eye contact may cause mechanical abrasion with burning, tearing and redness. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal disturbances such as upset stomach and intestinal irritation. Target Organs or Systems: Caution: May cause irritation to the eyes, skin, mucous membranes, upper respiratory tract. If ingested, toxic reactions due to bioaccumulation may occur. 1 There is <0.1% respirable crystalline silica, no anticipated OSHA/TLV overexposure expected.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Skin Contact: Repeated contact may dry the skin, causing cracking and dermatitis (rash). Sensitive individuals may develop an allergic dermatitis. When mixed with water, this material hardens and then slowly becomes hot. DO NOT attempt to make a cast enclosing any part of the body using this material. This can result in severe burns. Eye Contact: May cause eye irritation. Inhalation: May be harmful if inhaled. Material may be irritating to the mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. Ingestion: Toxic reactions due to bioaccumulation may occur. Inflammation of mouth, throat, esophagus and/or stomach. Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Prolonged exposure can cause: Nausea, headache, and vomiting. Acute: May cause irritation of the eyes, skin, mucous membranes, and respiratory tract. May be harmful by inhalation, ingestion, or skin absorption. CHRONIC: Inhalation: Pre-existing upper respiratory and lung disease may be aggravated by exposure. Prolonged inhalation of dust may cause baritosis. Prolonged and repeated exposure to respirable crystalline silica can result in lung disease (i.e. silicosis) and/or lung cancer. The product does not contain detectable levels of respirable silica based on the plaster manufacturer’s test data and the overall total weight of crystalline silica is less than 1% in the product. If the final models are sanded, ground or pulverized low levels of respirable dust may be generated that contain respirable fractions of silica. Thus the actual workplace exposure must be determined by workplace exposure testing. Skin: Repeated contact may dry the skin, causing cracking and dermatitis (rash). Sensitive individuals may develop an allergic dermatitis. When mixed with water, this material hardens and then slowly becomes hot. DO NOT attempt to make a cast enclosing any part of the body using this material. This can result in severe burns. Carcinogens Under OSHA, ACGIH, NTP, IARC, OTHER: This product contains less than 1% by weight of crystalline silica and there is less than 0.1% respirable crystalline silica. Only the respirable fraction of crystalline is specifically regulated by OSHA. Respirable silica is listed as cancer agent by ACGIH, IARC as Group 1 and NTP as human carcinogen. All other ingredients in this product contain no carcinogens in concentrations of 0.1 percent or greater based on U.S. and European chemical data base information.

Environmental effects

No significant environmental hazard are expected if material is released to the environment. Section 4. Emergency First Aid Inhalation: Remove from area to fresh air. Seek medical attention if respiratory irritation develops or if breathing becomes difficult.
