Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Handle so as not to create dust. Ceramic materials are brittle; care must be taken to prevent cracking or unsafe conditions may occur in contact with molten metal.
Keep product dry.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Machining or grinding can result in dust that may contain crystalline silica (SiO₂). Use local exhaust ventilation to control dust below exposure limits.
Abrasive resistant gloves.
Safety glasses with full side shields or goggles.
NIOSH-approved respirator is recommended if PEL’s or TLV’s are exceeded.
Abrasive resistant gloves.
