FIRST AID MEASURES Eye Inhalation If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush continuously with running water. Continue flushing until advised to stop by a Poisons Information Centre, a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes. If inhaled, remove from contaminated area. Apply artificial respiration if not breathing. Page 1 of 5

2 Skin Ingestion Advice to doctor First aid facilities If skin or hair contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and flush skin and hair with running water. Continue flushing with water until advised to stop by a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor. For advice, contact a Poison Information Centre on (Australia Wide) or a doctor (at once). Due to product form and application, ingestion is considered unlikely. Treat symptomatically. Eye wash facilities and safety shower should be available. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flammability Fire and explosion Extinguishing Hazchem code Non flammable. May evolve toxic gases if strongly heated. No fire or explosion hazard exists. Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions Environmental precautions Methods of cleaning up References Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as detailed in Section 8. Prevent product from entering drains and waterways. Contain spillage, then collect and place in suitable containers for disposal. Avoid generating dust. See Sections 8 and 13 for exposure controls and disposal. 7. STORAGE AND HANDLING Storage Handling Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area, removed from incompatible substances and foodstuffs. Use of safe work practices are recommended to avoid eye or skin contact and inhalation. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION Exposure standards Ingredient Reference TWA STEL ppm mg/m³ ppm mg/m³ Chromium (III) Compounds (as Cr) SWA (AUS) Cobalt, metal dust & fume (as Co) SWA (AUS) Kaolin (Inspirable dust) SWA (AUS) Kaolin (Respirable dust) SWA (AUS) Quartz (respirable dust) SWA (AUS) Biological limits Engineering controls No biological limit allocated. Avoid inhalation. Use in well ventilated areas. Where an inhalation risk exists, mechanical extraction ventilation is recommended. Wet where possible. Maintain dust levels below the recommended exposure standard. Page 2 of 5

3 PPE Eye / Face Hands Body Respiratory Wear dust-proof goggles. Wear PVC or rubber or cotton gloves. When using large quantities or where heavy contamination is likely, wear coveralls. Where an inhalation risk exists, wear a Class P1 (Particulate) respirator. At high dust levels, wear a Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) with Class P3 (Particulate) filter or an Air-line respirator or a Full-face Class P3 (Particulate) respirator. 9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Appearance POWDER Odour ODOURLESS Flammability NON FLAMMABLE Flash point NOT RELEVANT Boiling point Melting point Evaporation rate ph Vapour density Specific gravity Solubility (water) INSOLUBLE Vapour pressure Upper explosion limit NOT RELEVANT Lower explosion limit NOT RELEVANT Explosive properties Oxidising properties % Volatiles 10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY Chemical stability Conditions to avoid Material to avoid Hazardous Decomposition Products Hazardous Reactions Stable under recommended conditions of storage. Avoid heat, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. Incompatible with strong acids (eg. hydrofluoric acid). May evolve silicon oxides when heated to decomposition. Polymerization will not occur. 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Health Hazard Summary Eye Inhalation Skin Ingestion Low irritant - high chronic toxicity. Adverse health effects are usually associated with long term exposure to high dust levels. Use safe work practices to avoid dust generation - inhalation. Chronic exposure may result in lung fibrosis (silicosis). Crystalline silica is classified as carcinogenic to humans (IARC Group 1). Symptoms may be delayed months after heavy exposure. The risk of disease is increased by smoking. Low irritant. Contact may result in irritation, lacrimation and redness. Irritant. Over exposure may result in irritation of the nose and throat, with coughing. Chronic exposure to respirable silica may result in pulmonary fibrosis (silicosis). Crystalline silica is classified as carcinogenic to humans (IARC Group 1). Low irritant. Prolonged or repeated exposure to dust may result in irritation and dermatitis. Low toxicity. This product is biologically inert. However, ingestion may result in gastrointestinal irritation due to mechanical action.
