Comments
This product contains a small quantity of quartz, crystalline silica. Prolonged and repeated exposure to concentrations of crystalline
silica exceeding the workplace exposure limit (WEL) may lead to chronic lung disease such as silicosis. IARC Monographs, Vol.
68, 1997, concludes that there is sufficient evidence that inhaled crystalline silica in the form of quartz or cristobalite from
occupational sources causes cancer in humans. IARC Classification Group I.

8.2 Exposure controls

All chemical Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) should be selected based on an assessment of both the chemical hazard
present and the risk of exposure to those hazards. The PPE recommendations below are based on an assessment of the chemical
hazards associated with this product. Where this product is used in a mixture with other products or fluids, additional hazards may
be created and as such further assessment of risk may be required. The risk of exposure and need of respiratory protection will
vary from workplace to workplace and should be assessed by the user in each situation.
