Repeated and prolonged exposure to large amounts of talc dust can cause lung injury (pneumoconiosis).
Risk of injury is dependent on the duration and level of exposure.
SECTION 3. COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
The above-mentioned products are a natural association of talc, chlorite, magnesite and dolomite.
The specific percentages of composition of the ingredients are being withheld as a trade secret.
SECTION 4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Description of first aid measures:
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air.
Ingestion: Drink plenty of water. Never give liquid to an unconscious person.
Eye contact: Immediately rinse with water for several minutes.
Skin contact: Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water.

SECTION 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
5.1 Extinguishing media: All extinguishing media can be used.
5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: The product is not flammable, combustible or
explosive. No hazardous thermal decomposition.
5.3 Advice for fire-fighters: No specific fire-fighting protection is required. Use an extinguishing agent
suitable for the surrounding fire.
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Use proper respiratory and
personal protective equipment. MSHA/NIOSH or OSHA/NIOSH approved respirator recommended.
Spilled materials may cause slippery conditions when wet. Care should be exercised when walking on
spills on floor or concrete pads.
6.2 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Dry product should be cleaned with a shovel
or vacuum cleaner while wearing the personal protective equipment described above. Do not discharge
into drains, watercourses or onto the ground. Washing the floor with water is not recommended since it
may cause the floor to become slippery. However, if talc is already wet, and only in this case, the floor
should be thoroughly flushed with water to remove all slipperiness.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1 Precautions for safe handing: Minimize dust generation and accumulation. If excessive dust is
generated, provide adequate ventilation and use proper respiratory and personal protective equipment.
7.2 Conditions for safe storage: Keep the product dry and in closed containers. Store it in a cool and
well-ventilated space.
SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
8.1 Control parameters: Follow workplace regulatory exposure limits for all types of airborne dust (e.g.
total dust, respirable dust, and respirable crystalline silica dust). In the U.S., the ACGIH OEL (Occupational
Exposure Limit) for talc containing no asbestos fibers and less than 1% crystalline silica is 2 mg/m3
respirable fraction measured as an 8-hour TWA (Time Weighted Average). The OSHA exposure limit for
talc is 20 mppcf Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) TWA. For the equivalent limits in other countries, please
consult a competent occupational hygienist or the local regulatory authority.
8.2 Appropriate engineering controls: Use exhaust ventilation, if required, to maintain dust concentration
below recommended exposure limits.
8.3 Personal protection measures:
(a) Eye protection: Wear side shield safety glasses.
(b) Hand protection: Rubber gloves are recommended for prolonged exposure.
(c) Respiratory protection: If a respirator is required, use of a MSHA/NIOSH or OSHA/NIOSH
approved respirator is recommended.
SECTION 9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
9.1 Appearance: White or off white to light grey

10.2 Chemical stability: Chemically stable
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions: No hazardous reaction
10.4 Conditions to avoid: None
10.5 Incompatible materials: None known
10.6 Hazardous decomposition products: None
SECTION 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Carcinogenic Status:
IARC: In 2006, IARC concluded that inhaled talc not containing asbestos or asbestiform fibers is not
classifiable as a human carcinogen (Group 3). IARC ruled that there is limited evidence that the use of
talc-based body powder for perineal dusting is a possible risk factor for ovarian cancer (Group 2B).
This is not a route of exposure relevant to workers and applies only to one specific use of talc.
OSHA: Not listed
ACGIH: A4 not classified as a human carcinogen
WHMIS 2015 Classification: Specific Target Organ Toxicity Repeated Exposure Category 1 (STOT
RE1)
NTP: Not listed
SECTION 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
12.1 Aquatic Toxicity: No known effects
12.2 Persistence and degradability: This product is an inorganic substance and therefore is not
considered biodegradable.

Regarding regulatory inventories, talc is considered to be a "naturally occurring substance with variable
composition". Talc ore contains variable amounts of associated minerals, such as magnesite, dolomite, and chlorite.
In the interest of full disclosure, we list these associated minerals on our SDSs, however from a regulatory
perspective, the product supplied is considered to be "talc" (CAS # 14807-96-6). Specifically, according to the Toxic
Substances Control Act (TSCA), talc meets the definition of a Naturally Occurring Substance , with unknown or
variable composition, complex reaction product or biological material (UVCB Substance).
15.3 Chemical safety assessment: Exempted from REACH registration in accordance with Annex V.7
