Toxicological Data on Ingredients: Calcium Silicate LD50: Not available. LC50: Not available.
Potential Acute Health Effects: Hazardous in case of skin contact (permeator), of eye contact (irritant), of inhalation (lung
irritant).
Potential Chronic Health Effects:
CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: A4 (Not classifiable for human or animal.) by ACGIH. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Classified None.
for human. Non-mutagenic for mammalians. TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not
available. Repeated or prolonged exposure is not known to aggravate medical condition.
Eye Contact: Check for and remove any contact lenses. Do not use an eye ointment. Seek medical attention.
Skin Contact:
After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Gently and thoroughly wash the contaminated skin with running
water and non-abrasive soap. Be particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin. Since the product can readily

penetrate the protective epidermal layer and cause rashes or eczema, a good hand cream should be used after washing
affected areas. Seek medical attention.
Serious Skin Contact:
Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek medical attention.
Inhalation: Allow the victim to rest in a well ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.
Serious Inhalation: Not available.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek immediate medical attention.
Serious Ingestion: Not available.
Small Spill:
Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on
the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements.
Large Spill:
Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the
contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system. Be careful that the product is not present at a
concentration level above TLV. Check TLV on the MSDS and with local authorities.
Precautions:
Do not breathe dust. Wear suitable protective clothing If you feel unwell, seek medical attention and show the label when
possible. Avoid contact with skin and eyes
Storage:
No specific storage is required. Use shelves or cabinets sturdy enough to bear the weight of the chemicals. Be sure that it is
not necessary to strain to reach materials, and that shelves are not overloaded.

Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering Controls:
Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended
exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants
below the exposure limit.
Personal Protection:
Splash goggles. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. Gloves.
Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill:
Splash goggles. Full suit. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus should be used to avoid
inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this
product.
Exposure Limits:
United States: TWA: 10 (mg/m3) from ACGIH (TLV) [1998] United States: TWA: 15 (mg/m3) from OSHA (PEL) Israel: TWA:
10 (mg/m3) Australia: TWA: 10 (mg/m3)Consult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits.
