SECTION 2 -Hazards Identification
Signal word: None
GHS Pictogram: None
Route of entry:
Skin contact: Repeated or prolonged contact may cause irritation
Skin absorption: N/A
Eye contact: May irritate or injure eyes, mechanically
Inhalation: Upper Respiratory Irritant: May aggravate pre-existing respiratory conditions. Levels of
Respirable Crystalline Silica in Sil-Cell, if present at all, are undetectable. Because it is known that
long-term inhalation of respirable crystalline silica can cause disabling lung disease (silicosis), OSHA
has published revised exposure limits. The current Action Level (AL) and Permissible Exposure Limit
(PEL) as an average during 8 hours of continuous exposure are 25 pglm3 (Air) and 50 pglm3 (Air),
respectively.
Potential Health Effects: See above regarding long term exposure: skin initation, silicosis and eye
irritation

SDS), Flammability: 0, Reactivity: 0, Personal Protection: E
SECTION 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Leak and Spill Procedures: Normal clean-up procedures. Care should be taken to avoid causing dust to
become airborne. Vacuum cleaning systems are recommended. Wetting spilled material with water
may control dust and make clean up easier.
SECTION 7 - Handling and Storage
Handling Procedures and Equipment: Avoid creating unnecessary dust.
Storage Requirements: Store with other dusty materials, away from products that could be affected by
dust.
SECTION 8 - Exposure Control/Personal Protection
Exposure Limits

SECTION 11 - Toxicological Information
Effects of Acute Exposure: Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant),
or in case of inhalation (initant).
Effects of Chronic Exposure:
Irritancy of Product: Potential irritant for Skin Sensitization,
Respiratory Sensitization: Upper Respiratory Irritant: May aggravate pre-existing respiratory conditions.
Levels of Respirable Crystalline Silica in Sil-Cell, if present at all, are undetectable. Because it
is known that long-term inhalation of respirable crystalline silica can cause disabling lung disease
(silicosis), OSHA has published revised exposure limits. The current Action Level (AL) and Permissible
Exposure Limit (PEL) as an average during 8 hours of continuous exposure are 25 pglm3 (Air) and
50 pglm3 (Air), respectively.
Carcinogenicity: These products contain less than 0.1Yo cryslalline silica, and low percentages of
particles of respirable size, hence present very low risk.
