HAZARDOUS
IDENTIFICATION |
| |
THE LIGHTWEIGHT NATURE OF
THE MATERIAL CAN RESULT IN AIR BORNE DUST IF SPILLAGE OCCURS.
THIS IN TURN CAN LEAD TO SEVERE EYE IRRITATION AND IMPAIRED LUNG FUNCTION
IF PROLONGED EXPOSURE AT HIGH CONCENTRATION IS EXPERIENCED. PRODUCT
IS NOT RESPIRABLE IN DELIVERED STATE AND DOES NOT REQUIRE HAZARD WARNING
LABELS IN ACCORDANCE WITH DIRECTIVE 67/548/EC. |
| 3. |
COMPOSITION/INFORMATION
ON INGREDIENTS |
| |
COMPOSITION |
HOLLOW MICROSPHERES OF ALUMINO SILICATE
EXTRACTED FROM FLY ASH (PFA) NOT CONSIDERED TO HAVE ANY HAZARDOUS COMPONENTS. |
| 4. |
FIRST
AID MEASURES |
| |
INHALATION |
REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE. ENSURE SUPPLY
OF FRESH AIR. |
| |
SKIN CONTACT |
REMOVE FROM SKIN BY WASHING THOROUGHLY
WITH SOAP AND WATER. |
| |
EYE CONTACT |
WASH EYES COPIOUSLY WITH CLEAN WATER
AND IF IRRITATION PERSISTS SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE. |
| |
INGESTION |
IF INGESTED, DRINK PLENTY
OF WATER AND SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE. |
| 5. |
FIRE-FIGHTING
MEASURES |
| |
MATERIAL IS NON-COMBUSTIBLE
AND PRODUCES NO HAZARDOUS PRODUCTS IN A FIRE SITUATION. |
| 6. |
ACCIDENTAL
RELEASE MEASURES |
| |
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
|
AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN, EYES AND CLOTHING.
AVOID INHALATION OR INGESTION. REFER TO SECTION 8. |
| |
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS |
ALERT NEIGHBOURS OF POSSIBLE EYE AND
RESPIRATORY IRRITATION RISK. PREVENT ENTRY INTO CANALS, DRAINS
AND OTHER WATERCOURSES. ONLY ALLOW INTO SURFACE WATER DRAINS FITTED
WITH SUITABLE FILTERS |
| |
METHODS FOR CLEANING
UP
|
SPILLAGES SHOULD BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY
BY A VACUUM SYSTEM. IF NOT IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE, SPRAY WITH CLEAN
WATER AND REMOVE MECHANICALLY AVOIDING ENTRY TO WATERCOURSES.
SEND MATERIAL IN SUITABLE SEALED CONTAINERS FOR RECOVERY OR DISPOSAL.
|
| 7. |
HANDLING
AND STORAGE |
| 7.1 |
HANDLING |
AVOID GENERATING AIRBORNE
DUST WHEREVER POSSIBLE. PROVIDE GOOD VENTILATION IN WORKING AREAS
(PROVIDE LOCAL DUST EXTRACTION WHERE NECESSARY). PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
MUST BE USED IF EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE EXCEEDED. |
| 7.2 |
STORAGE |
PRODUCT SHOULD BE STORED
IN CLOSED CONTAINERS, BAGS ETC. |
| 8. |
EXPOSURE
CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION |
| |
THE EXPOSURE LIMITS FOR
FLY-ASH CENOSPHERES ARE:
TOTAL INHALABLE DUST -
10 mg/m3 8hr TWA
RESPIRABLE DUST
-
4 mg/m3 8hr TWA
ENGINEERING MEASURES SUCH AS CLOSED CONVEYING
SYSTEMS, DUST EXTRACTION EQUIPMENT AND VACUUM CLEANING EQUIPMENT SHOULD
BE USED WHEREVER POSSIBLE TO PREVENT DUST GENERATION AND EXPOSURE. |
| |
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION |
IF WORKPLACE EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE EXCEEDED,
SUITABLE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION EQUIPMENT MUST BE USED. P2 DUST
MASKS ARE SUITABLE. |
| |
HAND PROTECTION |
WEAR CHROMED COTTON GLOVES. |
| |
EYE PROTECTION |

TOXICOLOGICAL
INFORMATION |
| |
FILLITE HAS A TYPICAL PARTICLE
SIZE OF 20-300 MICRONS AND IS THEREFORE CLASSIFIED AS A NUISANCE DUST.
CENOSPHERES CONTAIN CRYSTALLINE SILICA AT TYPICAL LEVELS OF 1.5% ALTHOUGH
ALL CRYSTALLINE MATERIAL IS BONDED INTO THE GLASSY SHELL. CARE SHOULD
THEREFORE BE TAKEN TO AVOID MILLING OR GRINDING THE MATERIAL WHICH MAY
GENERATE RESPIRABLE PARTICLES. PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO HIGH LEVELS OF
RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA IS CONSIDERED A POSSIBLE CAUSE OF SILICOSIS
THAT MAY LEAD TO LUNG CANCER. THE NATURE OF CENOSPHERES HOWEVER
MEAN THEY ARE CONSIDERED HARMLESS IN THE AS-DELIVERED STATE BASED UPON
40 YEARS OF EXPOSURE EXPERIENCE. |
| 12. |
ECOLOGICAL
INFORMATION |
| |
ENVIRONMENTALLY BENIGN.
DO NOT DISCHARGE INTO CANALS, DRAINS OR WATERCOURSES. |
| 13. |
DISPOSAL
CONSIDERATION |
| |
NO SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
FOR DISPOSAL AT LICENSED FACILITIES ARE IN FORCE. FLY-ASH CENOSPHERES
ARE INCLUDED IN THE EUROPEAN WASTE CATALOGUE (CODE NUMBER 10 01 02)
BUT ARE CLASSED AS NON-HAZARDOUS IN THE EC HAZARDOUS WASTE LIST (DIRECTIVE
94/904/EC). |
| 14. |
TRANSPORT
INFORMATION |
| |
UNDER CPL (CLASSIFICATION,
PACKAGING AND LABELLING OF DANGEROUS PREPARATIONS) REGULATIONS, FLY-ASH
CENOSPHERES ARE CLASSED AS NON-HAZARDOUS AND CAN BE SAFELY TRANSPORTED
BY ROAD, RAIL, SEA AND AIR. |
| 15. |
REGULATORY
INFORMATION |
| |
MATERIAL DOES NOT REQUIRE
HAZARD WARNING LABELS.
NON-HAZARDOUS UNDER EUROPEAN WASTE CATALOGUE
(DIRECTIVE 2000/532/EC).
USER SHOULD REFER TO ANY NATIONAL MEASURES
THAT MAYBE RELEVANT WITH REGARD TO HEALTH & SAFETY AT WORK, OCCUPATIONAL
EXPOSURE LIMITS, WASTE MANAGEMENT, CONTROL OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES,
CONSUMER PROTECTION, ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ETC. |
