Respiratory Protection: A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be followed
whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use.
Skin Protection: Use gloves to prevent prolonged skin contact. Nitrile or Neoprene gloves may afford adequate skin protection.
Eye Protection: Use safety eyewear designed to protect against splash of liquids.
Other Protective Equipment: Refer to safety supervisor or industrial hygienist for further guidance regarding types of personal
protective equipment and their applications.
Hygienic Practices: Wash thoroughly with soap and water before eating, drinking or smoking. Remove contaminated clothing
immediately and launder before reuse.

11. Toxicological Information
Effects of Overexposure - Eye Contact: Irritating, and may injure eye tissue if not removed promptly.
Effects of Overexposure - Skin Contact: Low hazard for usual industrial handling or commercial handling by trained personnel.
Effects of Overexposure - Inhalation: High gas, vapor, mist or dust concentrations may be harmful if inhaled. Avoid breathing fumes,
spray, vapors, or mist. Constituents of this product include crystalline silica dust which, if inhalable, may cause silicosis, a form of
progressive pulmonary fibrosis. Inhalable crystalline silica is listed by IARC as a group I carcinogen (lung) based on sufficient
evidence in occupationally exposed humans and sufficient evidence in animals. Crystalline silica is also listed by the NTP as a
known human carcinogen. Constituents may also contain asbestiform or non-asbestiform tremolite or other silicates as impurities,
and above de minimus exposure to these impurities in inhalable form may be carcinogenic or cause other serious lung problems.
Effects of Overexposure - Ingestion: Substance may be harmful if swallowed.
Effects of Overexposure - Chronic Hazards: Contains carbon black. Chronic inflammation, lung fibrosis, and lung tumors have been
observed in some rats experimentally exposed for long periods of time to excessive concentrations of carbon black and several
insoluble fine dust particles. Tumors have not been observed in other animal species (i.e., mouse and hamster) under similar
circumstances and study conditions. Epidemiological studies of North American workers show no evidence of clinically significant
adverse health effects due to occupational exposure to carbon black.
Carbon black is listed as a Group 2B-"Possibly carcinogenic to humans" by IARC and is proposed to be listed as A4- "not classified
as a human carcinogen" by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists. Significant exposure is not anticipated
during brush application or drying. Risk of overexposure depends on duration and level of exposure to dust from repeated sanding of
surfaces or spray mist and the actual concentration of carbon black in the formula. Contains Titanium Dioxide. Titanium Dioxide is
listed as a Group 2B-"Possibly carcinogenic to humans" by IARC. No significant exposure to Titanium Dioxide is thought to occur
during the use of products in which Titanium Dioxide is bound to other materials, such as in paints during brush application or drying.
Risk of overexposure depends on duration and level of exposure to dust from repeated sanding of surfaces or spray mist and the
actual concentration of Titanium Dioxide in the formula. (Ref: IARC Monograph, Vol. 93, 2010)
