SECTION 7: Handling and storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling For industrial or professional use only. Avoid breathing of dust created by sanding, grinding or machining. Damaged product can break apart during use and cause serious injury to face or eyes. Check product for damage such as cracks or nicks prior to use. Replace if damaged. Always wear eye and face protection when working at sanding or grinding operations or when near such operations. Combustible dust may form by action of this product on another material (substrate). Dust generated from the substrate during use of this product may be explosive if in sufficient concentration with an ignition source. Dust deposits should not be allowed to accumulate on surfaces because of the potential for secondary explosions.
7.2. Conditions for safe storage including any incompatibilities
No special storage requirements.
SECTION 8: Exposure controls/personal protection
8.1. Control parameters
Occupational exposure limits
If a component is disclosed in section 3 but does not appear in the table below, an occupational exposure limit is not available for the component. Ingredient C.A.S. No. Agency Limit type Additional Comments Aluminum, insoluble compounds 1344-28-1 ACGIH TWA(respirable fraction):1 A4: Not class. as human mg/m3 carcin Emery Oxide 1344-28-1 CMRG TWA:1 fiber/cc Emery Oxide 1344-28-1 OSHA TWA(as total dust):15 mg/m3;TWA(respirable fraction):5 mg/m3 ACGIH : American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists AIHA : American Industrial Hygiene Association CMRG : Chemical Manufacturer's Recommended Guidelines OSHA : United States Department of Labor - Occupational Safety and Health Administration TWA: Time-Weighted-Average STEL: Short Term Exposure Limit CEIL: Ceiling
8.2. Exposure controls
8.2.1. Engineering controls
Use general dilution ventilation and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne exposures to below relevant Exposure Limits and/or control dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray. If ventilation is not adequate, use respiratory protection equipment. Provide local exhaust at process emission sources to control exposure near the source and to prevent the escape of dust into the work area. Ensure that dust-handling systems (such as exhaust ducts, dust collectors, vessels, and processing equipment) are designed in a manner to prevent the escape of dust into the work area (i.e., there is no leakage from the equipment).
8.2.2. Personal protective equipment (PPE)
Eye/face protection
To minimize the risk of injury to face and eyes, always wear eye and face protection when working at sanding or grinding operations or when near such operations. Select and use eye/face protection to prevent contact based on the results of an
__________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 3 of 8 exposure assessment. The following eye/face protection(s) are recommended: Safety Glasses with side shields
Skin/hand protection Wear appropriate gloves to minimize risk of injury to skin from contact with dust or physical abrasion from grinding or sanding.
Respiratory protection
Assess exposure concentrations of all materials involved in the work process. Consider material being abraded when determining the appropriate respiratory protection. Select and use appropriate respirators to prevent inhalation overexposure. An exposure assessment may be needed to decide if a respirator is required. If a respirator is needed, use respirators as part of a full respiratory protection program. Based on the results of the exposure assessment, select from the following respirator type(s) to reduce inhalation exposure: Half facepiece or full facepiece air-purifying respirator suitable for particulates
For questions about suitability for a specific application, consult with your respirator manufacturer.
