Composition / Information on Ingredients
Chemical components, concentration ranges, and hazardous substance identification
| Chemical Name | CAS Number | Concentration | Hazardous |
|---|---|---|---|
| Granite | --- | 99% | No |
| Crystalline Silica (Quartz) | 14808-60-7 | 1% | No |
These materials are mined from the earth. Trace amounts of naturally occurring elements might be detected during chemical analysis of these materials. Occupational exposure limits, if available, are listed in Section 8.
Notes
There are no additional ingredients present which, within the current knowledge of the supplier and in the concentrations applicable, are classified as hazardous to health or the environment and hence require reporting in this section.
First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Move to fresh air. Call a physician if symptoms develop or persist.
Symptoms: Inhaling dust may cause discomfort in the chest, shortness of breath, and coughing.
Wash off with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Hold eyelids apart. Remove contacts is present and easy to do. Occasionally lift the eyelid(s) to ensure thorough rinsing. Beyond flushing, do not attempt to remove material from the eye(s). Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
Rinse mouth and drink plenty of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Immediate Medical Attention
Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
Medical Treatment
Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically.
