Symptoms related to physical/chemical/toxicological characteristics:
Eye:
Causes serious eye damage. May cause burns in the presence of
moisture. Symptoms may include discomfort or pain, excess blinking and
tear production, with possible redness and swelling.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. May cause burns in the presence of moisture. Skin
contact during hydration may slowly develop sufficient heat that may cause
severe burns possibly resulting in permanent injury. Do not allow product to
harden around any body part or allow continuous, prolonged contact with
skin. Handling can cause dry skin. May cause sensitization by skin contact.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause stomach distress, nausea or vomiting.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation.

11.2 DELAYED, IMMEDIATE, AND CHRONIC EFFECTS OF SHORT- AND LONG-TERM EXPOSURE
Skin Corrosion/Irritation:
Causes skin irritation. May cause burns in the presence of
moisture.
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation:
Causes serious eye damage. May cause burns in the presence of
moisture.
Respiratory Sensitization:
Based on available data, the classification criteria are not met.
Skin Sensitization:
May cause an allergic skin reaction.
STOT-Single Exposure:
Based on available data, the classification criteria are not met.
Chronic Health Effects:
Respirable crystalline silica in the form of quartz or cristobalite
from occupational sources is listed by the International Agency
for Research on Cancer (IARC) and National Toxicology
Program (NTP) as a lung carcinogen. Prolonged exposure to
respirable crystalline silica has been known to cause silicosis, a
lung disease, which may be disabling. While there may be a
factor of individual susceptibility to a given exposure to
respirable silica dust, the risk of contracting silicosis and the
