| First Aid Measures | Back to Contents | 【Ingestion】
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately. | 【Inhalation】
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. | 【Skin】
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. | 【Eyes】
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately. |

Store in a cool, dry place. Keep container closed when not in use. | 【Handling】
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. |
| Hazards Identification | Back to Contents | 【Inhalation】
May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause lung damage. Contains crystalline silica which may lead to respiratory abnormalities and silicosis. | 【Skin】
May cause skin irritation. | 【Eyes】
May cause eye irritation. | 【Ingestion】
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. |
| Exposure Controls/Personal Protection | Back to Contents | 【Personal Protection】
Eyes: Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166. Skin: Wear appropriate gloves to prevent skin exposure. Clothing: Wear appropriate protective clothing to minimize contact with skin. | 【Respirators】
A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or European Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use. Wear a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved full-facepiece airline respirator in the positive pressure mode with emergency escape provisions. | 【Exposure Effects】
Chronic inhalation of dust may lead to silicosis. | 【Poison Class】
F (Not subject to toxicity classification) |
| Fire Fighting Measures | Back to Contents | 【Fire Fighting】
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Extinguishing media: Substance is noncombustible; use agent most appropriate to extinguish surrounding fire. Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire. |
| Accidental Release Measures | Back to Contents | 【Small spills/leaks】
Clean up spills immediately, using the appropriate protective equipment. Sweep up, then place into a suitable container for disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation. |
| Stability and Reactivity | Back to Contents | 【Stability】
Stable under normal temperatures and pressures. | 【Incompatibilities】
Strong acids - moisture. | 【Decomposition】
Irritating and toxic fumes and gases, silicon oxide. |
