If exposed or concerned: Get medical advice. Eye Contact: If in eyes: rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If irritation persists get medical attention.

4 Skin Contact: If on skin, wash with plenty of soap and water. If skin irritation or rash occurs get medical advice. Take off contaminated clothing and wash it before reuse. Ingestion: If swallowed, call a POISON CENTER or doctor. Never give anything by mouth if victim is rapidly losing consciousness, or is unconscious or convulsing. Have victim rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Do not induce vomiting. Most important symptoms / effects acute and delayed: Inhalation: Exposures to airborne dust may cause irritation to the upper respiratory tract; symptoms of exposure may include sneezing, coughing and sore throat. Prolonged or repeated exposure to fine airborne crystalline silica dust may cause severe scarring of the lungs, a disease called silicosis. Symptoms of silicosis include cough, mucous production, shortness of breath upon exertion. The symptoms of silicosis develop following long-term exposures to airborne dusts containing silica.

5 May cause lung cancer by inhalation. Eye Contact: Dust particles may cause irritation as an abrasive in the eye. Skin Contact: Prolonged skin contact may be abrasive to the skin. Ingestion: Swallowing is not expected under normal conditions of use. If swallowed, may cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed: Not applicable Section 5: Fi re-fighting Measures Extinguishing media: Use water and other extinguishing media appropriate to the surrounding fire conditions. Specific hazards arising from the product: Product is not flammable and does not support combustion. Under fire conditions product may decompose into sulfur oxides, calcium oxide and carbon dioxide at very high temperatures (>800 C / 1475 F). Special protective equipment and precautions for fire-fighters: As for any fire, evacuate the area and fight the fire from a safe distance.

6 Firefighters must wear full protective equipment including self-contained breathing apparatus with chemical protection clothing when firefighters are exposed to decomposition products from this material. Powdered Aggregated Textures Revision date: April 7, 2017 SDS CT 4-03 SAFETY data SHEET Page 3 of 8 Section 6: Accidental Release Measures Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Wear adequate personal protective equipment, including an appropriate respirator as indicated in Section 8. Isolate spill area, preventing entry by unauthorized persons. Ventilate the spill area if airborne dust is present. Environmental precautions: Prevent releases into the environment. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Use methods that avoid raising dust in the air. Scoop or shovel spilled material or vacuum dust with equipment fitted with a HEPA filter and place in a closed, labelled waste container.

7 Small spills may be picked up with a damp cloth or mop. Section 7: Handling and Storage Precautions for safe handling: Obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all SAFETY precautions have been read and understood. Do not breathe airborne dusts. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Wear protective goggles and gloves. In workplaces where occupational exposure limits are exceeded, wear appropriate respiratory protection. (See Section 8). Read the label and follow the directions for mixing. Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly after handling. Do not eat, drink or smoke in the workplace where this product is handled. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store in dry conditions and protected from weather. Protect from moisture and humidity. Keep out of reach of children. Section 8: Exposure Controls / Personal Protection Control parameters: Occupational Exposure Limits: Consult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits.

Powdered Aggregated Textures Revision date: April 7, 2017 SDS CT 4-03 SAFETY data SHEET Page 4 of 8 Section 8: Exposure Controls / Personal Protection, continued Exposure controls: Engineering Controls: General ventilation is adequate for application of product in its original form.

9 If airborne particulates are generated, monitor dust concentrations in air and provide local exhaust ventilation when any exposure guideline is exceeded. If engineering controls and work practices are not effective in controlling exposure to this material or if adverse health symptoms are experienced, then wear suitable personal protection equipment including approved respiratory protection. Have appropriate equipment available for use in emergencies such as spills or fire. Eye/Face Protection: Wear SAFETY goggles. Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves. Launder contaminated clothing before re-wearing, or discard. Respiratory Protection: When dust concentrations in air exceed the occupational exposure guidelines, always take the following precautions: Wear a NIOSH approved dust respirator. Maintain adequate ventilation and air circulation. Warn others in the area.

10 Use a NIOSH approved respirator when dust levels exceed any of the exposure guidelines listed in the table above. NIOSH recommendations for Crystalline silica (respirable dust); concentrations in air: UP TO mg/m3: Air-purifying respirator with high-efficiency particulate filter(s). UP TO mg/m3: Powered air-purifying respirator with high-efficiency particulate filter; or SAR operated in a continuous-flow mode. UP TO mg/m3: Full-facepiece air-purifying respirator with high-efficiency particulate filter(s); or powered air-purifying respirator with tight-fitting facepiece and high-efficiency particulate filter. UP TO 25 mg/m3 Positive pressure SAR. A respiratory protection program that meets the regulatory requirement, such as OSHA s 29 CFR , ANSI or Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Standard , must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator s use. Other Protection: Have a SAFETY shower and eyewash fountain readily available in the work area.
