3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
 
Emergency Overview During sanding of the cured product, minimize dust production as dust contains respirable crystalline silica, a potential occupational carcinogen.
Eye Contact: May cause eye irritation and act as a sensitizer.
Ingestion: May cause irritation of intestinal tract.
Inhalation: May cause respiratory discomfort in excessive concentrations.
Skin Contact: May cause skin irritation and act as a sensitizer.
Chronic: Prolonged or repeated exposure to respirable crystalline silica dust may cause severe scarring of the lungs.
 
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
 
Eye Contact: Flush with water for 15 minutes.
Ingestion: Induce vomiting as directed by medical personnel
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air.
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water.
 
5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
 
Flash Point Not applicable
Auto-ignition Temperature: Not established.
Flammable Limits: Not established.
Explosive Properties: Not established.
Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemicals.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
 
Accidental Release Measures Shovel or sweep up material and place into a plastic or metal disposal container. Not a listed hazardous waste.
 
7. HANDLING & STORAGE
 
Precautions: Avoid eye contact and excessive skin contact.
Storage Temperature: Best conditions are at room temperature, however freezing, humidity, and high temperatures will not affect performance of unused putty. If frozen, warm for a few minutes first for easier mixing.
Storage Pressure: Not applicable.
Shelf Life: Several years in original tube with cap on.
General: Wash with soap and water immediately after use. If sanding cured putty or substrates, wear eye protection. For prolonged handling, use polyethylene gloves. For prolonged exposure to sanding dust, wear a half respirator with dust filters.
 
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS
 
Engineering Controls: General ventilation-None required
Local Exhaust-Only if heated above 100° (38°), or during prolonged sanding operations.
Eyes: Safety glasses when sanding.
Respirator: Half face respirator with dust filters when sanding for prolonged periods of time.
Gloves: Polyethylene gloves for prolonged use.
Other: None required.
