*This product contains one or more materials that may be hazardous when present as an airborne dust. During
normal handling of the product, the material is encapsulated within the product and will not present an exposure
risk. Once the product has reached its final state and is abraded or disturbed, dusting and exposure may occur. This
product contains crystalline silica. As provided, and during normal use of this product, the crystalline silica is
encapsulated within the product. As such, it is considered to be inextricably bound, and not readily available for
exposure. Use of this product would not subject the user to the compliance requirements of 29CFR1910.1053 or
1926.1153.

Unlisted ingredients are not 'hazardous' per the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Hazard
Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) and/or are not found on the Canadian Workplace Hazardous
Materials Information System ingredient disclosure list. See Section 8 for exposure limit guidelines.

SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES

IF IN EYES: Use an eye wash to remove a chemical from your eye regardless of the level of hazard. Flush the
affected eye for at least twenty minutes. Tilt the head to prevent chemical from transferring to the uncontaminated
eye. Seek medical advice after flushing.
IF ON SKIN: Wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and launder. Get medical attention if
irritation develops or persists.
IF INHALED: Remove to fresh air. Call a physician if symptoms persist.
IF SWALLOWED: Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention if symptoms develop. Provide medical care
provider with this MSDS. Induced vomiting may lead to aspiration of the material into the lungs potentially causing
chemical pneumonitis that may be fatal.

SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: There is a possibility of pressure buildup in closed containers
when heated. Water spray may be used to cool the containers.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Persons exposed to products of combustion should wear self-
contained breathing apparatus and full protective equipment.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide Chlorine containing gases

SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

SPECIAL PROTECTION: Exposure to the spilled material may be irritating or harmful. Follow
personal protective equipment recommendations found in Section 8 of
this MSDS. Additional precautions may be necessary based on special
circumstances created by the spill including; the material spilled, the
quantity of the spill, the area in which the spill occurred.
METHODS FOR CLEAN-UP: Dike if necessary, contain spill with inert absorbent and transfer to
containers for disposal. Keep spilled product out of sewers, watersheds,
or water systems.
