Composition Note: This product is a mixture. Hazardous ingredients are listed above. May include other nonhazardous
ingredients. May include other trace ingredients, see Section 15.

4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of cool water for at least 15 minutes while holding
the eyes open. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. If you experience
redness, burning, blurred vision, or swelling consult a physician immediately.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and product, immediately wash affected area with soap
and water. Do not apply greases or ointments. If rash or irritation occurs consult a
physician.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth immediately. Do not induce vomiting. Consult a physician.
Inhalation: Remove patient to fresh air. Give oxygen or artificial respiration if needed. If patient
continues to experience difficulty breathing, consult a physician.
Most Important Symptoms: Irritant effects. Symptoms include itching, burning, redness and tearing. Permanent eye
damage, including blindness could result. Discomfort in the chest, shortness of breath,
coughing.
General Information: Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. Symptoms may be
delayed. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take
precautions to protect themselves. If exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention.
Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Additional Information: Can form explosive air-dust mixtures, avoid creating dust.
Hazards during Fire-Fighting: During a fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed.
Fire-Fighting Procedures: Use standard fire-fighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved
materials. In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Self-contained breathing
apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn. Move containers from fire area if
you can do so without risk. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well
after fire is out. Prevent runoff from fire control or dilution from entering streams,
sewers, or drinking water supply.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal Precautions: Keep unnecessary personnel away. Avoid generating dust. Wear appropriate personal
protective equipment. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless
wearing appropriate protective clothing. Avoid inhalation of dust. Ensure adequate
ventilation. If the concentration of dust exceeds the permissible exposure limit wear a
respirator.
Clean-up Methods: Avoid dry sweeping. Do not use compressed air to clean spilled silica sand. Use water
spraying/flushing or ventilated or HEPA filtered vacuum cleaning system. Dispose of in
closed containers.
Environmental Precautions: Avoid release to the environment. Contact local authorities in case of spillage to
drain/aquatic environment. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling: Avoid generating dust. Mechanical ventilation or local exhaust ventilation is
recommended. Use all available work practices to control dust exposure, such as water
sprays. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. When using, do not eat, drink or
smoke. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Do not breathe dust. Wear a
respirator if dust concentrations exceed permissible exposure limits. Do not permit dust
to collect and build up on work surfaces, use good housekeeping. Avoid contact with
unhardened cement products. Observe good industrial hygiene practices.
Storage: Use dust collection to trap dust produced during loading and unloading. Store in a closed
container away from incompatible materials (See Section 10 of the SDS). Store in a cool,
dry place out of direct sunlight. Store in a well-ventilated place. Protect against physical
damage.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Protective Measure: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
Eye Protection: Wear chemical splash goggles or safety glasses with side shield.
Hand Protection: Wear chemical-resistant gloves such as: Nitrile, neoprene, butyl.
Skin and Body Protection: Wear long sleeve shirt/long pants and other clothing as required to minimize contact. In
case of dust production, dust-proof clothing. Avoid contact with unhardened cement
products, if contact occurs wash immediately with soap and water.
Respirator Protection: Use a NIOSH-approved air-purifying or supplied-air respirator where airborne
concentrations of dust are expected to exceed exposure limits.
General Hygiene: Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the
material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and
protective equipment to remove contaminants.
Engineering Controls: Mechanical ventilation or local exhaust ventilation is recommended. Good general
ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be
matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or
other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure
limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an
acceptable level. Provide eyewash station and emergency shower.
