FIRST AID MEASURES  After eye contact:  Hold eyelids open and flush with a steady, gentle stream of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek immediate medical attention, preferably with an ophthalmologist.   After skin contact:  Immediately wipe excess material off skin with a dry cloth then wash with soap and water for at least 5 minutes.   After inhalation:  In case of inhalation due to spray mist, machining dust or dried particulate, remove source of exposure and assure that victim is breathing. If not breathing, administer cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR).   After ingestion:  If swallowed, do not induce vomiting.  If victim is conscious and alert, give 1-2 glasses of water to drink.  Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.  Seek medical attention immediately. Medical Conditions Possibly     Inhalation of product may aggravate existing chromic respiratory problems such as asthma, emphysema or Aggravated by Exposure:  bronchitis.  Skin contact may aggravate existing skin disease.   5.  FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES  Flash Point:     Not applicable Flammable Limits:   This material is non-combustible.

 Engineering Controls: Use with adequate ventilation.  Keep containers closed.  Safety shower and eyewash fountain should be within direct access. Respiratory Protection: This product is not considered respirable in either the liquid or cured forms.  However, if the cured product is polished, ground or chipped during processing, handling or use, powders may be released as airborne respirable particles.  In these instances, appropriate personal protection equipment and local ventilation controls must be employed.  If exposure limits are exceeded and local ventilation is unavailable, a supplied-air respirator or a self-contained NIOSH-approved dust and mist respirator is required.

 Acute Toxicity:                                      Component: CAS No. 1344-09-8,  Silicate Solution     LD50 Oral, 1153 mg/kg (Rat)     LD50, Inhalation, No Data     LD50, Dermal, 4640 mg/kg (Rabbit)  Skin Corrosion/Irritation:   Irritating to skin Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: Irritating to eyes Sensitization:   Not sensitizing Mutagenicity:   No data Carcinogenicity: This product is not listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA, or ACGIH as a known or suspected carcinogen. Reproductive Toxicity:  No data    
  Acute Toxicity:                                      Component: CAS No. 142844-00-6, Alumina-Silica Refractory Ceramic Fiber (RCF)  Toxicokinetics, Metabolism   Basic Toxicokinetics & Distribution: Exposure is predominantly by inhalation or ingestion.  Man made vitreous fibers of a similar size to RCF have not been shown to migrate from the lung and/or gut and do not become located in other parts of the body.  When compared to many naturally occurring minerals, RCF has a low ability to persist and accumulate in the body (half-life of long fibers (> 20- microns) in 3 week rat inhalation test is approximately 60 days.)      Human Toxicological Data In order to determine possible human health effects following RCF exposure, the University of Cincinnati has been conducting medical surveillance studies on RCF workers in the U.S.  The Institute of Occupational Medicine (IOM) has conducted medical surveillance studies on RCF workers in European manufacturing facilities.  Pulmonary morbidity studies among production workers in Europe and USA have demonstrated an absence of interstitial fibrosis and no decrements in lung function associated with current exposures, but have indicated a reduction of lung capacity among smokers.   A statistically significant correlation between pleural plaques and cumulative RCF exposure was evidenced in the USA longitudinal study.    The USA mortality study did not show evidence of increased lung tumor development either in the lung parenchyma or in the  pleura.  Information on Toxicological  Acute Toxicity: Short Term Inhalation Effects: No data available: Short term tests have been undertaken to determine fiber (bio) solubility rather than toxicity; repeat dose inhalation tests have been undertaken to determine chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity.   Acute Toxicity: Oral No data available: Repeated dose studies have been carried out using gavage. No effect was found.  Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Not possible to obtain acute toxicity information due to the nature of the substance  Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: Not possible to obtain acute toxicity information due to the nature of the substance  Respiratory or Skin Sensitization: No evidence from human epidemiological studies of any respiratory or skin sensitization potential  Germ Cell Mutagenicity: Method:   In vitro micronucleus test Species:  Hamster (CHO) Dose:  1-35 mg/ml Routes of Admin: In suspension Results:  Negative  Carcinogenicity: Method:  Inhalation. Multi-dose. Species:  Rat Dose:  3, 9 and 16 mg/m3 
Routes of Admin: Nose only inhalation Results:  Fibrosis just reached significant levels at 16 and 9 mg/m3 but not at 3 mg/m3. None of the parenchymal tumor incidences were higher than the historical control values for this strain of animal.  Carcinogenicity: Method:  Inhalation. Single dose. Species:  Rat Dose:  30 mg/m3 Routes of Admin: Nose only inhalation Results: This study was designed to test the chronic toxicity and Carcinogenicity of RCF at extreme exposures. Tumor incidence (incl. Mesothelioma) was raised at this dose level.  The presence of overload conditions (only detected after the experiment was completed), whereby the delivered dose exceeded the clearance capability of the lung, makes meaningful conclusions in terms of hazard and risk assessment difficult.       
  Carcinogenicity: Method: Inhalation. Single dose. Species: Hamster Dose: 30 mg/m3 
Routes of Admin: Nose only inhalation Results: This low quality study in hamsters produced mesothelial lesions of uncertain significance. Subsequent studies in hamsters with glass fibers indicated that the lung burdens of RCF in this experiment were between 5 and 10 times more than that need to produce overload, and the results are therefore difficult to interpret.  There are reports of injection studies with some similar materials. While some intraperitoneal injection studies reported the development of tumors in rats, the relationship of these results to classification remains controversial.  Reproductive Toxicity: Method: Gavage. Species: Rat Dose: 250 mg/kg/day Routes of Admin: Oral Results: No effects were seen in an OECD 421 screening study.  There are no reports of any reproductive toxic effects of mineral fibers. Exposure to these fibers is via inhalation and effects seen are in the lung.  Clearance of fibers is via the gut and the feces, so exposure of the reproductive organs is extremely unlikely.  STOT SE:  Not Applicable STOT RE:  Not Applicable Aspiration Haz: Not Applicable  Irritant: Negative results have been obtained in animal studies (EU method B 4) for skin irritation. Inhalation exposures using the nose only route produce simultaneous heavy exposures to the eyes, but no reports of excess eye irritation exist. Animals exposed by inhalation similarly show no evidence of respiratory tract irritation.  Human data confirm that only mechanical irritation, resulting in itching, occurs in humans.  Screening at manufacturer’s plants has failed to sow any human cases of skin conditions related to fiber exposure.   12.  ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
