Other Hazards Not Resulting in Classification: Mica may contain small quantities of quartz (crystalline silica). Prolonged exposure to respirable crystalline silica dust at concentrations exceeding the occupational exposure limits may increase the risk of developing a disabling lung disease known as silicosis. IARC found limited evidence for pulmonary carcinogenicity of crystalline silica in humans. In the case of normal use of this product, exposure to silica should be nil.

The attapulgite clay used in this product has a fiber length of less than 5um; therefore, the clay is not considered to be carcinogenic to animals or humans.

Section 4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Page 4 of 13 Pages

SDS Part Number 27204

Medical conditions possibly aggravated by exposure: Inhalation of product may aggravate existing chronic respiratory problems such as asthma, emphysema, or bronchitis. Skin contact may aggravate existing skin disease. Chronic overexposure may cause pneumoconiosis (“dusty lung” disease).

Flammable Properties: Not flammable Flash Point: Not determined Suitable Extinguishing Media: Non-combustible. Use extinguishing media suitable for surrounding conditions.

Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon and sulfur oxides Explosion Data:

Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact: Not sensitive Sensitivity to Static Discharge: Not sensitive Unusual fire/explosion hazards: In a fire this material may decompose, releasing toxic and irritating oxides of carbon, sulfur, potassium, ammonia and nitrogen (see Section 10).

Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters: As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, NIOSH approved or equivalent and full protective gear.

Personal Precautions: Avoid inhalation, and contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.

Personal Protective Equipment: Minimum - safety glasses, gloves, and a dust respirator.

Emergency Procedures: NA Methods for Containment: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

Methods for Clean Up: Avoid dust formation. Clean up released material using vacuum or wet sweep and shovel to minimize generation of dust. Bag and transfer to properly labeled containers. Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pickup is complete.

Environmental Precautions: Prevent material from entering waterways.

Section 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Page 6 of 13 Pages

SDS Part Number 27204

Engineering Controls: Showers Eyewash stations Ventilation systems

Personal Protective Equipment – PPE Code E:

The need for respiratory protection is not probable during short-term exposure. PPE use during production process must be independently evaluated.

Eye/Face Protection: Tightly fitting safety goggles Skin and Body Protection: Wear protective gloves/coveralls

Respiratory Protection: If exposure limits are exceeded or irritation is experienced, NIOSH approved respiratory protection should be worn. Use P100 respirators for limited exposure, use air-purifying respirator (APR) with high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters for prolonged exposure. Positive pressure supplied air respirators may be required for high airborne contaminant concentrations. Respiratory protection must be provided in accordance with current safety and health requirements. The need for respiratory protection is not likely for short-term use in well ventilated areas.

Hygiene Measures: Good personal hygiene practice is essential, such as avoiding food, tobacco products, or other hand-to-mouth contact when handling. Wash thoroughly after handling.
