NOTE: CONSIDER ALSO COMPONENTS OF BASE MATERIALS AND COATINGS BEING GROUND.
VENTILATION:
USE LOCAL EXHAUST OR GENERAL VENTILATION AS REQUIRED TO MINIMIZE EXPOSURE
TO DUST AND MAINTAIN THE CONCENTRATION OF CONTAMINANTS BELOW THE TLVS.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
USE NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR IF EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE EXCEEDED OR WHERE DUST
EXPOSURES ARE EXCESSIVE. CONSIDER THE POTENTIAL FOR EXPOSURE TO COMPONENTS
OF THE COATINGS OR BASE MATERIAL BEING GROUND IN SELECTING PROPER
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION. REFER TO OSHA'S SPECIFIC STANDARDS FOR LEAD,
CADMIUM, ETC. WHERE APPROPRIATE. SELECTION OF RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
DEPENDS ON THE CONTAMINANT TYPE, FORM AND CONCENTRATION. SELECT AND USE
RESPIRATORS IN ACCORDANCE WITH OSHA 1910.134 AND GOOD INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE
PRACTICE.
GLOVES: CLOTH OR LEATHER GLOVES RECOMMENDED.
EYE PROTECTION:
SAFETY GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD OVER SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS.
OTHER:
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AS NEEDED TO PREVENT CONTAMINATION OF PERSONAL
CLOTHING. HEARING PROTECTION MAY BE REQUIRED.

| 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION | |
HEALTH HAZARDS:
INGESTION:
NONE EXPECTED UNDER NORMAL USE CONDITIONS. SWALLOWING LARGE PIECES MAY
CAUSE OBSTRUCTION OF THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT.
INHALATION: DUST MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION.
EYE:
DUST MAY CAUSE EYE IRRITATION. DUST PARTICLES MAY CAUSE ABRASIVE INJURY TO
THE EYES.
SKIN:
NONE EXPECTED UNDER NORMAL USE CONDITIONS. RUBBING PRODUCT ACROSS THE SKIN
MAY CAUSE MECHANICAL IRRITATION OR ABRASIONS.
SENSITIZATION: THIS MATERIAL IS NOT KNOWN TO CAUSE SENSITIZATION.
CHRONIC:
LONG-TERM OVEREXPOSURE TO RESPIRABLE DUST MAY CAUSE LUNG DAMAGE (FIBROSIS)
WITH SYMPTOMS OF COUGHING, SHORTNESS OF BREATH AND DIMINISHED BREATHING
CAPACITY. CHRONIC EFFECTS MAY BE AGGRAVATED BY SMOKING. PROLONGED
OVEREXPOSURE TO FLUORIDES MAY CAUSE A BONE CONDITION, FLUOROSIS. PROLONGED
EXPOSURE TO ELEVATED NOISE LEVELS DURING OPERATIONS MAY AFFECT HEARING. A
GREATER HAZARD, IN MOST CASES, IS THE EXPOSURE TO THE DUST/FUMES FROM THE
MATERIAL OR PAINT/COATINGS BEING GROUND. MOST OF THE DUST GENERATED DURING
GRINDING IS FROM THE BASE MATERIAL BEING GROUND AND THE POTENTIAL HAZARD
FROM THIS EXPOSURE MUST BE EVALUATED.
CARCINOGENICITY:
TITANIUM DIOXIDE IS LISTED BY IARC AS A GROUP 2B CARCINOGEN (SUSPECTED
HUMAN CARCINOGEN). NONE OF THE OTHER COMPONENTS IS LISTED AS A CARCINOGEN
OR POTENTIAL CARCINOGEN BY OSHA, NTP OR IARC.
