3. HAZARDS INDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview:
No unusual fire or spill hazard. Low Health risk by inhalation. May
irritate eyes. Avoid repeated or prolonged skin contact. Off-white
powder. Non-flammable, not an explosion hazard.
Potential Health Effects:
Eyes - May cause irritation, especially when wet.
Skin - May irritate skin.
Inhalation - May cause upper respiratory irritation.
This product contains silicates at less than 1% by weight. Silicates
include metal silicates, amorphous and crystalline silica. No analytical
method exists to detect and differentiate between amorphous and
crystalline silica and other silicates at less than 1% by weight. Based
on the chemistry of bauxite-derived products, crystalline silica is not
expected to be present in this product.
Alumina is a low health risk by inhalation and should be treated as a
nuisance dust as specified by the American medical conditions aggravated
by exposure: Asthma, chronic lung disease, and skin rashes.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 20 minutes. If
irritation persists, consult a physician.
Skin:
Wash with soap and warm water for at least 20 minutes. If irritation
developes, consult a physician.
Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give
artificial respiration. Get immediate medical attention.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to a convulsing
or unconscious person. If swallowed, dilute by drinking large amounts of
water. Consult a physician.

Fire-fighting instructions:
Fire-fighters should wear NIOSH approved, positive pressure,
self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing when
appropriate.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Small/large spill:
Wear protective clothing; avoid dusting. Do not allow product to
reach sewage system or water bodies. Clean up using dry procedures.

10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Chemical Stability (conditions to avoid):
Keep away from water. A rise in temperature may result from contact
with water.
Incompatibility:
None
Hazardous Decomposition Products:
None
Hazardous Polymerization:
None
This material reacts with water to form an alkaline slurry as a
binder for refractories. Explosive steam spalling may result from
improper curing, drying, and firing procedures of refractories (see
references, section 16). For safest use and optimum performance, proper
practices must be followed.
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
No LD50 or LC50 found for oral, dermal or inhalation routes of
administration.
Silicon:
LD50 (oral-rat) 3, 160 mg/kg.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Ecotoxicological/chemical fate information is not available.
Water Hazard Class 1 (self-assessment):
Slightly hazardous for water. Must not reach bodies of water or
drainage ditch undiluted or unneutralized.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Collect in container, bags, or covered dumpster boxes. If reuse or
recycling is not possible, material may be disposed of at an industrial
landfill. Consult with the operator of the waste disposal facility and
the pertinent authorities and dispose under adherence to the necessary
technical regulations.
