Avoid dust formation. Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Guard against dust accumulation of this material. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS). Keep out of the reach of children. Do not allow water to contact the product until time of use to preserve product utility.

8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

Occupational exposure to nuisance dust (total and respirable) and respirable crystalline silica should be monitored and controlled.

Engineering controls

Provide ventilation adequate to maintain PELs. Use approved industrial general and local exhaust ventilation. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If engineering measures are not sufficient to maintain concentrations of dust particulates below the Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL), suitable respiratory protection must be worn.

Eye/face protection

Wear safety glasses with side shields. Use tight fitting goggles if dust is generated.

Hand protection

Wear gloves of adequate length to offer appropriate skin protection from splashes. Nitrile, Butyl and PVC gloves have been found to offer adequate protection for incidental contact.

Skin protection

Wear suitable protective clothing. Normal work clothing (long sleeved shirts and long pants) is recommended. Dusty clothing should be laundered before reuse. Use precautionary measures to avoid creating dust when removing or laundering clothing.

Respiratory protection

Not normally needed. However, if engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level, an approved respirator must be worn. Use a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator if there is a risk of exposure to dust/fume at levels exceeding the exposure limits.

Thermal hazards

Not available.

Further information

In 1997, IARC (the International Agency for Research on Cancer) concluded that crystalline silica inhaled from occupational sources can cause lung cancer in humans. In June 2003, SCOEL (the EU Scientific Committee on Occupational Exposure Limits) concluded that the main effect in humans of the inhalation of respirable crystalline silica dust is silicosis, and that preventing the onset of silicosis will also reduce the cancer risk. According to the current state of the art, worker protection against silicosis can be consistently assured by respecting the existing regulatory occupational exposure limits. Occupational exposure to respirable dust and respirable crystalline silica should be monitored and controlled.
