Composition / Information on Ingredients

Chemical components, concentration ranges, and hazardous substance identification

Type mixture
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

Inhalation

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.

Skin contact

Wash off with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.

Eye contact

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.

Ingestion

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.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Not flammable. Use fire-extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding materials.

Unsuitable media

None known.

Specific hazards

No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted. Not a combustible dust. Contact with powerful oxidizing agents may cause fire and/or explosions (see section 10 of SDS).

Firefighter Protection

Use protective equipment appropriate for surrounding materials. No specific precautions.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up of materials that contain or may liberate dust.

Environmental

Avoid discharge of fine particulate matter into drains or water courses.

Cleanup methods

Wetting of spilled material
