3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
THE HEALTH EFFECTS NOTED BELOW ARE CONSISTENT WITH REQUIREMENT UNDER THE OSHA
COMMUNICATION STANDARD (29 CFR 1910.1200)
Potential effects of health:
INHALATION: N/A Minimal.
EYE CONTACT: Product is minimally irritating to the eyes.
CONTACT OF THE SKIN: Product is slightly irritating to the skin.
INGESTION: Ingestion of product may result in vomiting; aspiration (breathing) of vomitus into the lungs must
be avoided as even small quantities may result in aspiration pneumonitis.
NOTE: In case of accident or if you feel sick from exposure, seek medical attention immediately (Shows the
label if possible).
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYE CONTACT: Flush eyes with plenty of water for 15 minutes while holding eyelids open. Get medical
attention.
SKIN CONTACT: Flush skin with water and follow by washing with soap and water. If irritation occurs, get
medical attention.
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting or give anything by mouth. This material can enter the lungs and cause
damage. If victim is drowsy or unconscious, place on left side with head down. Get medical attention.
INHALATION: Remove victim to fresh air, and provide oxygen if breathing is difficult. Get medical attention.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES: Flash point: >136 F
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Minimal.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: The use of SCBA is recommended for fire fighters. Water spray may be
useful in minimizing vapors and cooking containers exposed to heat and flame.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use, either water, fog, foam, dry chemical or CO2. Do not use a direct stream of
water.
FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear full protective suit.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
LAND SPILL: Evacuate the area. Recover all material possible. Soak up residue with absorbent like sand or
clay. Wash the remainder with water. Avoid direct discharge into natural channels. Transport contaminated
water to be processed to municipal water treatment center.
GREAT SPILLINGS: Use same procedure as for land spills. Recover product with vacuum truck or pump to
storage vessel.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: Wash hands after using. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothes. (See Section 8 additional
information).
STORAGE: Keep containers closed when not in use. Material should be stored at temperatures between 40 F
and 95 F. Do not store with strong oxidizing agents. Avoid excessive heat.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
CONTROL MEASURES: Follow commonsense, good house keeping procedures.
RESPIRATOR PROTECTION: Normally not required. Adequate ventilation recommended.
EYE PROTECTION: Normally not required.
CLOTHING & EQUIPMENT: Normally not required. Impermeable gloves can prevent skin irritation.
OTHER PROTECTION: Place eye bath and safety shower near work area.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
COMPONENT: Glycerine. INGESTION: Oral RAT LD50: 17,000 to 27,200 mg/kg. INHALATION: RAT was
seen at 0.57 mg/l for 1 hour; therefore the LC50 is greater than this amount. SKIN: Absorption in RABBITS is
>10,000 mg/kg.
COMPONENT: Aliphatic Hydrocarbon: No Data.
COMPONENT: Calcined Kaolin Earth: OSHA permissible Exposure Limits or ACGIH Threshold Limit Values
have not been established for CAS # 66402-68-4, The raw material for calcined kaolin is Kaolin CAS No.
1332-58-7 MSHA/ASHA and ACGIH values for Kaolin as follows:
CAS No. MSHA PEL ASHA PEL ACGIH TLV
1332-58-7 10mg/cu.m total 15mg/cum. Total 2 mg/cu.m
5 mg/cu.m. Resp Respirable
Unless otherwise noted, all PEL and TLV values are reported as 8-hour time weighted averages (TWA).
COMPONENT: Aluminum Oxide: Primary Irritant Effect: SKIN: Can cause skin irritation. EYE(S): Can
cause irritation to the eyes. INHALATION: Can cause upper respiratory tract irritation. INGESTION: Can
cause irritation.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ENVIRONMENTAL FATE: Unknown.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS: Generally considered chemically inert in the environment. Used
material which has become contaminated may have significantly different characteristics based on the
contaminants and should be evaluated accordingly.
