SAFETY DATA SHEET

SILIPORITE®

Respiratory disease or diminished respiratory capacity.

Other:
Zeolite is a mineral, composed of silicates and oxides of various metals, which exhibits different properties from a
simple mixture of the component molecules. Representative Zeolite materials are less irritating and have lower
acute and chronic toxicity than the component molecules. The primary health hazard of this product is associated
with heat generated upon contact with water.

Engineering controls:
Investigate engineering techniques to reduce exposures below airborne exposure limits or to otherwise reduce
exposures. Provide ventilation if necessary to minimize exposures or to control exposure levels to below
airborne exposure limits (if applicable see above).If practical, use local mechanical exhaust ventilation at
sources of air contamination such as open process equipment.

Respiratory protection:
Avoid breathing dust. Where airborne exposure is likely or airborne exposure limits are exceeded (if applicable,
see above), use NIOSH approved respiratory protection equipment appropriate to the material and/or its
components. Full facepiece equipment is recommended and, if used, replaces need for face shield and/or
chemical goggles. Consult respirator manufacturer to determine appropriate type equipment for a given
application. Observe respirator use limitations specified by NIOSH or the manufacturer. For emergency and
other conditions where there may be a potential for significant exposure or where exposure limit may be
significantly exceeded, use an approved full face positive-pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus or
positive-pressure airline with auxiliary self-contained air supply. Respiratory protection programs must comply
with 29 CFR § 1910.134.

Skin protection:
Wear appropriate chemical resistant protective clothing and chemical resistant gloves to prevent skin contact.
Consult glove manufacturer to determine appropriate type glove material for given application. Rinse
immediately if skin is contaminated. Wash contaminated clothing and clean protective equipment before reuse.
Provide a safety shower at any location where skin contact can occur. Wash thoroughly after handling.

Eye protection:
Where eye contact may be likely, wear chemical goggles and have eye flushing equipment available.
