The above constituents are the only constituents of the product which have a PEL, TLV or other rec-
ommended exposure limit. At this time, the other constituents have no known exposure limits.
Engineering measures : Use of adequate ventilation should be sufficient to control
worker exposure to airborne contaminants. If the use of this
product generates dust, fumes, gas, vapor or mist, use pro-
cess enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineer-
ing controls to keep worker exposure below any recommend-
ed or statutory limits.
The engineering controls also need to keep gas, vapor or
dust concentrations below an
y lower explosive limits.
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection : Use a properly fitted NIOSH approved air-purifying or air-fed
respirator complying with an approved standard if a risk as-
sessment indicates this is necessary.
The filter class for the respirator must be suitable for the max-
imum expected contaminant concentration
(gas/vapor/aerosol/particulates) that may arise when han-
dling the product. If this concentration is exceeded, self-
contained breathing apparatus must be used.
Hand protection : Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an
approved standard should be worn at all times when handling
chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is nec-
essary.
Eye protection : Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should
be used when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary.
Skin and body protection : Choose body protection in relation to its type, to the concen-
tration and amount of dangerous substances, and to the spe-
cific work-place.
Hygiene measures : Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling
the product.
Remove respiratory and skin/eye protection only after vapors
have been cleared from the area.
Remove contaminated clothin
g and protective equipment

Remarks : Titanium dioxide (13463-67-7)
In lifetime inhalation studies of rats, airborne respirable-size
titanium dioxide particles have shown to cause an increase in
lung tumors at concentrations associated with substantial
particle lung burdens and consequential pulmonary overload
and inflammation. The potential for these adverse health ef-

fects appears to be closely related to the particle size and the
amount of the exposed surface area that comes into contact
with the lung. However, tests with other laboratory animals
such as mice and hamsters, indicate that rats are significantly
more susceptible to the pulmonary overload and inflammation
that causes lung cancer. Epidemiological studies do not sug-
gest an increased risk of cancer in humans from occupational
exposure to titanium dioxide. Titanium dioxide has been char-
acterized by IARC as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group
2B) through inhalation (not ingestion). It has not been charac-
terized as a potential carcino
gen by either NTP or OSHA.
Quartz (14808-60-7): This classification is relevant when ex- posed to Quartz (silicon dioxide) in dust or powder form only,
including cured product that is subject to sanding, grinding,
cutting, or other surface preparation activities.
