SECTION 9: Physical and chemical properties
9.1. Information on basic physical and chemical properties
Appropriate engineering controls
:
Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available in the immediate vicinity of any
potential exposure. Enclosed processes used in combination with local exhaust ventilation as necessary
to control air contaminants at or below acceptable exposure guidelines. Collection systems must be
designed and maintained to prevent the accumulation and recirculation of respirable silica into the
workplace.
Personal protective equipment
:
Avoid all unnecessary exposure.
Hand protection
:
None required. Polymeric gloves are recommended to prevent irritation. Nitrile construction materials
appear to offer the best protection against the ingredients of the product.
Eye protection
:
Chemical goggles or safety glasses.
Skin and body protection
:
Under dusty, misty, spray conditions or when excessive skin contact is likely, wear coveralls or other
suitable work clothing.
Respiratory protection
:
Wear NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator equipped with particulate cartridges when dusty, misty, or
spraying in poorly ventilated areas, and if exposure limits are exceeded. A respiratory program that
meets OSHA’s 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be followed whenever workplace
conditions warrant a respirator’s use. For exposures of crystalline silica up to 0.5 mg/m³ TWA, NIOSH
recommends wearing any particulate respirator equipped with an N95, R95, or P95 filter, except quarter-
mask respirators.
