3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
No hazard classification.
When first wetted, the product can heat up to the boiling point of water. Flooding will reduce the temperature. Repeated and prolonged inhalation of crystalline silica in the form of quartz from occupational sources may cause cancer
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye contact: Flush immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If eye irritation persists, consult a physician.
Skin contact: Wash off with soap and plenty of water. If skin irritation persists, call a physician.
After inhalation: Remove the victim into fresh air. If symptoms persist, call a physician.
After ingestion: Immediately give large volume of water to drink. If symptoms persist, call a physician.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media: Non-combustible. Use extinguishing media for surrounding fire.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: N.A.
Fire and explosion hazards: The product itself does not burn. The used product can retain material of a hazardous nature. Identify that material and inform the fire fighters.
Special protective equipment: In the case of respirable dust and/or fumes, use self-contained breathing apparatus and dust impervious protective suit.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES/SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
Personal protection: See 8.2
Environmental precautions: No special environmental precautions required.
Clean-up: Sweep, shovel or vacuum spilled product into appropriate containers (do not use a vacuum if material has contacted a hydrocarbon material). Pick-up and arrange disposal without creating dust. Never use spilled product.
Spilled product should be disposed of in accordance with all applicable government regulations.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Handle and open container with care. Avoid formation of dust particles. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Provide an electrical ground connection during loading and transfer operations to avoid static discharge in an explosive atmosphere and to prevent persons handling the product from receiving static shocks.
Storage: Store in original container. Keep in a dry place.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering measures: Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas.
Personal protection equipment: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
Eye protection: Safety glasses or goggles.
Hand protection: Protective gloves.
Skin and body protection: Work uniform and gloves to prevent prolonged contact.
Respiratory protection: In case of insufficient ventilation wear suitable respiratory equipment. Breathing apparatus with filter: NIOSH classification N-100 or if oil/liquid aerosols are present P-100 (42 CFR 84).

10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Stability: Stable.
Hazardous decomposition products: No decomposition if used as directed. Hydrocarbons and other materials that contact the product during normal use can be retained on the product. It is reasonable to expect that decomposition products will come from these retained materials of use.
Conditions/Materials to avoid: Sudden contact with high concentrations of chemicals having high heats of adsorption such as olefins, HCl, etc. When first wetted, the product can
heat up to the boiling point of water. Flood with water to cool material.
