HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS Zircon Inert Nuisance Dusts As respirable dust CAS.NO. 7440-67-7 Mixture ACGIH THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE 5 mg/m3 10 mg/m3 % RANGE 70-80 1-5 OSHA PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMIT 5 mg/m3 15 mg/m3 This material contains crystalline silica. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Monograph Silica. Some Silicates and Organic Fibres (Volume 68, 1997) has determined that crystalline silica in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational exposures, if inhaled, is carcinogenic to humans (IARC Group 1). Prolonged inhalation of silica dust may result in silicosis, a progressive, disabling, and sometimes fatal, lung disease. Avoid creating dusty conditions and use a NIOSH/MSHA approved dust respirator when Threshold limit Values (TLVs) may be exceeded. PRINTED IN U.S.A.

Summary/Risks Page 3 Signs and Symptoms of Overexposure: Eyes- irritation with redness and swelling; Skin- may irritate; Inhalation- may cause coughing and sneezing. Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: May aggravate pre-existing medical conditions. Primary Route(s) of Entiy: Inhalation, skin contact, and ingestion. Target Organs: Eyes, lungs, and skin. Acute Health Effect: Overexposure could lead to skin irritations and lung or mucous membrane irritation. Chronic Health Effect: Overexposure could lead to severe damage to skin,.eyes, lungs., or mucous membranes. Carcinogenicity: See page 1. In the report the National Toxicology Program (NTP) classified respirable crystalline silica, primarily quartz dusts occurring in industrial and occupational settings, as known to be a human carcinogen, based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in humans indicating a casual relationship between exposure to respirable crystalline silica dust. In addition, the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) has classified crystalline silica-quartz as an A2 Suspected Human Carcinogen. Notes to Physician: None. VII. HEALTH HAZARDS B. First Aid/Emergency Procedures Inhalation: If overcome, immediately remove from exposure and seek medical attention. Skin Contact/Absorption: Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. If irritation develops, seek medical attention. Eye Contact: Flush with clear flowing water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Ingestion: If ingested, DO NOT induce vomiting; call a physician immediately. VIII. SPILL, LEAK AND WASTE DISPOSAL PROCEDURES Procedures for clean-up of spills/leaks: Stop spill as soon as possible. Scoop up or clean up using best means possible. Water may be used to clean area. Notify proper authorities if the need exists. Waste Disposal: Waste generated during application, demolition, breakage or spillage may be hazardous wastes as defined by RCRA (40 CFR part 261). Place waste and spillage in closed containers. Dispose of in approved landfill in accordance with federal, state and local regulations. PRINTED IN THE U.S.A. Product Name: Zircon #1 Core Wash Page 4 IX. PROTECTION AND CONTROL INFORMATION Hygienic Practices: Minimize breathing vapors, mists, fumes or dusts. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Remove contaminated clothes, launder before reuse. Remove contaminated shoes; clean before reuse. Ventilation Requirements: Provide ventilation sufficient to prevent exceeding recommended exposure limits. Respiratory Protection: Use NIOSH approved fine particulate respirator ifpermissible exposure limits or threshold limit values are exceeded or if the user deems necessary. _ Eye Protection: Use safety glasses, splash goggles, or face shield when eye contact may occur. Protective Gloves: Use chemical-resistant gloves, if needed, to avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact. Other Clothing and Equipment: As required to prevent contact. Engineering Controls/Work Practices: Keep containers and storage containers closed when not in use. Special Considerations for Repair/Maintenance of Contaminated Equipment: Provide adequate respiratory, eye and skin protection. X. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE Storage Segregation: Always segregate materials by major hazard class. Special Handling/Storage: Do not transfer contents to unlabeled container(s). Other: Comply with all federal, state and local regulations. XI. DOT SHIPPING REQUIREMENTS Shipping Name(s): Any Packaging Compound, Thermal Insulating Date Prepared: 05/08/01 Prepared by: Lori R.
