SANDING, OR OTHERWISE WORKING WITH THIS PRODUCT MAY GENERATE LARGE AMOUNTS
OF DUST. DUST CAN BE IRRITATING TO THE EYES.
PHYSICAL HAZARDS: NOT CLASSIFIED
HEALTH HAZARDS:
ACUTE TOXICITY, ORAL: CATEGORY 4
SERIOUS EYE DAMAGE/EYE IRRITATION: CATEGORY 2B
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS: NOT CLASSIFIED.
OSHA DEFINED HAZARDS: NOT CLASSIFIED.

PRODUCT. AFTER MIXING WITH WATER, DO NOT ALLOW PROLONGED CONTACT WITH SKIN
UNTIL THE PRODUCT HAS COMPLETELY HARDENED AND COOLED.
RESPONSE:
IF SWALLOWED: RINSE MOUTH. CALL A POISON CENTER/DOCTOR IF YOU FEEL UNWELL.
IF IN EYES:
RINSE CAUTIOUSLY WITH WATER FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. REMOVE CONTACT LENSES, IF
PRESENT AND EASY TO DO. CONTINUE RINSING.
IF EYE IRRITATION PERSISTS: GET MEDICAL ADVICE/ATTENTION.

GYPSUM CALCIUM SULFATE 10101-41-4 60-100%
CRYSTALLINE SILICA (QUARTZ)* 14808-60-7 1-5
COMPOSITION COMMENTS:
GYPSUM (CALCIUM SULFATE) CONTAINS NATURALLY OCCURRING CRYSTALLINE SILICA
(QUARTZ) WHICH IS LISTED AS A LUNG CARCINOGEN. SEE SECTION 8 FOR EXPOSURE
INFORMATION.
*THE WEIGHT PERCENT FOR CRYSTALLINE SILICA REPRESENTS TOTAL CRYSTALLINE

EXPOSURE TO RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA IN THE FORM OF QUARTZ OR
CRISTOBALITE FROM OCCUPATIONAL SOURCES IS LISTED BY IARC AND NTP AS A LUNG
CARCINOGEN. PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA HAS BEEN
KNOWN TO CAUSE SILICOSIS, A LUNG DISEASE, WHICH MAY BE DISABLING. WHILE
THERE MAY BE A FACTOR OF INDIVIDUAL SUSCEPTIBILITY TO A GIVEN EXPOSURE TO A
RESPIRABLE SILICA DUST, THE RISK OF CONTRACTING SILICOSIS AND THE SEVERITY
OF THE DISEASE IS CLEARLY RELATED TO THE AMOUNT OF RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE
SILICA EXPOSURE AND THE LENGTH OF TIME (USUALLY YEARS) OF EXPOSURE.
OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE TO RESPIRABLE DUST AND RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA
SHOULD BE MONITORED AND CONTROLLED.
