Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic):

Persons overexposed to dust or fibers may experience coughing, sneezing, or nasal and eye irritation.  Some of the components in this product may aggravate existing medical conditions; consequently, certain individuals may be more susceptible to the possible effects produced by overexposure.  Individuals with special medical conditions involving the respiratory system should take appropriate precautions when handling this product.

Route(s) of Entry:

Inhalation – Avoid inhalation of dust or fibers which may be generated during mechanical cutting or abrasion.

Skin – Skin exposure during normal use is not anticipated to result in abnormal health effects.

Emergency and First Aid Procedures:

Ingestion:

If accidentally ingested, immediately contact the local poison control center or hospital emergency room for treatment directions.

Eye Contact:

If dusts or fibers come in contact with the eyes, flush eyes with copious amounts of clean cool water for at least 15 minutes.  Eyelids should be held apart during irrigation to ensure water contact with the entire surface of the eyes and lids to remove particulates.  Contact a physician immediately.

Inhalation:

Move victim to fresh air.  Begin CPR as necessary.

Skin Contact:

Wash affected area with soap and water.

Aggravation of Existing Conditions:  Some of the components in this product aggravate existing medical conditions; consequently, certain individuals may be more susceptible to the possible effects produced by overexposure.  Individuals with medical conditions involving the skin or the respiratory system should take appropriate precautions when handling this product.

Steps to Be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled:  Turn off sources of heat or ignition and provide adequate ventilation.  Respiratory protection may be required during cleanup to control inhalation of particulates and dust.  Where air contaminants can exceed acceptable criteria, use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection equipment.  Respirators should be selected based on the form and concentration of contaminants in air in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 or other applicable standards or guidelines.  Use vacuuming or wet sweeping of to control generation of airborne dust.  Use non-sparking tools in dusty areas.

Waste Disposal Method:  Place material in an appropriate container for proper disposal or reclamation.  Dispose in compliance with federal, state, and local regulations.  Be sure to contact appropriate government environmental agencies if further disposal guidance is required.

Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storing:  Store in a dry, well-ventilated area away from sources of heat, ignition, and incompatible chemical agents.  Practice good housekeeping techniques to prevent accumulation of dust and to keep airborne particulates at a minimum.  Avoid contact with skin or eyes or breathing dust.

Respiratory Protection:  NIOSH-approved respirators equipped with high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters may be required to control exposures to airborne dust.

Ventilation:

Mechanical:  Provide adequate

Special

General and local exhaust

ventilation to maintain healthful working conditions

Protective Gloves:  Not applicable when used as intended.

Eye Protection:  Wear ANSI-approved safety eyewear as necessary.

Other Protective Clothing or Equipment:  Not applicable

Work/Hygienic Practices:  Wash hands and other exposed skin surfaces with soap and water.
