    This document provides an MSDS for Dustrol, which is a calcium sulfate hemihydrate product. It contains over 95% plaster of Paris and less than 5% crystalline silica. The product can release nuisance dust during handling or use, which may cause eye, skin, nose or throat irritation with prolonged exposure. It is non-combustible and does not pose fire or explosion hazards. When mixed with water, it hardens and becomes very hot, so care should be taken to avoid contact with skin or ingestion. Prolonged inhalation of respirable crystalline silica dust can cause lung disease. Proper ventilation, protective equipment and dust control measures are recommended.

    SECTION V
    HEALTH HAZARD DATA
    This product can release nuisance dust in handling or during use. Eye, skin, nose, throat, and upper respiratory
    irritation may occur with prolonged dust exposures.
    EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
    ACUTE:
    EYES: Direct contact can cause mechanical irritation of eyes. If burning, redness, itching, pain or other symptoms
    persist or develop, consult physician.
    SKIN: When mixed with water, this material hardens and becomes very hot – sometimes quickly. DO NOT attempt to
    make a cast enclosing any part of the body using this material. Failure to follow these instructions can cause severe
    burns that may require surgical removal of affected tissue or amputation of limb. Direct, prolonged or repeated contact
    with the skin may cause irritation. Rubbing of this product against the skin can result in abrasions. Rinse with water
    until free of material to avoid abrasions, then wash skin thoroughly with mild soap and water. May dry skin.
    INHALATION: Inhalation of dusts from this product may irritate the nose, throat, lungs, and upper respiratory tract.
    Persons subjected to large amounts of this dust will be forced to leave area because of nuisance conditions such as
    coughing, sneezing and nasal irritation. Labored breathing may occur after excessive inhalation. If respiratory
    symptoms persist, consult physician.
    INGESTION: Unlikely to occur, but may cause gastric disturbances if swallowed. Plaster of paris is non-toxic, however,
    ingestion of a sufficient quantity could lead to mechanical obstruction of the gut, especially the pyloric region. See
    Emergency and First Aid - Ingestion below.

    CHRONIC: This material displays no specific toxic properties.


    INHALATION: Prolonged and repeated exposure to respirable crystalline silica can result in lung disease (i.e., silicosis)
    and/or lung cancer.
    EYES: None known.
    SKIN: None known.
    INGESTION: No known effects.

    EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:


    EYES: Flush thoroughly with water for 15 minutes. If irritation persists, consult physician.
    SKIN: Wash with mild soap and water. A commercially available hand lotion may be used to treat dry skin areas. If
    skin has become cracked, take appropriate action to prevent infection and promote healing.
    INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. Leave the area of dust exposure and remain away until coughing and other
    symptoms subside. Other measures are usually not necessary, however if conditions warrant, contact physician.
    INGESTION: No harmful effects expected. No specific recommendations. If gastric disturbance occurs, call physician.
    This product contains gypsum plaster. Plaster of paris hardens when wetted and, if ingested, may result in obstruction
    of the gut, especially the pyloric region.

    TARGET ORGANS: Eyes, skin, and respiratory system.


    MEDICAL CONDITIONS WHICH MAY BE AGGRAVATED: Pre-existing upper respiratory and lung diseases such as,
    but not limited to, bronchitis, emphysema and asthma.
    PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY: Inhalation: eyes and/or skin contact.

    CARCINOGENICITY OF INGREDIENTS:
    MATERIAL IARC NTP
    Crystalline Silica Group 1 Listed
    The average concentration of respirable crystalline silica measured in USG plaster of paris was less than 0.1 Wt.%.

    In June, 1997, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified crystalline silica (quartz and
    cristobalite) as a human carcinogen. In making the overall evaluation, the IARC Working Group noted that
    carcinogenicity in humans was not detected in all industrial circumstances studied. Carcinogenicity may be dependent
    on inherent characteristics of the crystalline silica or on external factors affecting its biological activity or distribution of
    its polymorphs.
    MSDS NO. 05526
    MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Page 3 of 4
    DUSTROL
    IARC states that crystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources is carcinogenic
    to humans (Group 1).

    SECTION VI
    REACTIVITY DATA

    STABILITY: Stable
    INCOMPATIBILITY: Acids
    HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur
    HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION: Above 1450°C could produce CaO and SO2.

    SECTION VII
    SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES

    STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:


    Sweep up material from spillage into a waste container for disposal, avoid creating excessive dust. If washed down,
    may plug drains. If already mixed with water, scrape up and place in container. Wear appropriate protective
    equipment.

    WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:


    Dispose of material in accordance with Federal, State and Local regulations. Slurry may plug drains.

    SECTION VIII
    SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
    No TLV assigned to this mixture, see Ingredients Section. Minimize exposures in accordance with good hygiene
    practice.
    RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
    Not typically necessary under normal conditions of use. Provide general ventilation and local exhaust ventilation to
    meet TLV requirements of individual ingredients and to control dusting conditions. Avoid creating dust. Wear a
    NIOSH/MSHA-approved dust respirator in poorly ventilated areas and/or if TLV is exceeded.

    VENTILATION:
    Ventilate to keep exposures below TLV. General ventilation is expected to be satisfactory. Use local exhaust
    ventilation if necessary to control dust.

    PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:


    Gloves or protective clothing are usually not necessary but may be desirable in specific work situations. Wear gloves
    and protective clothing to prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact. Wear eye protection (safety glasses or goggles)
    to avoid particulate irritation of the eye.

    SECTION IX
    SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS

    PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE:


    During handling wear the appropriate respiratory, eye and skin protection if warranted per environmental conditions.
    Keep dry. Dew point conditions or other conditions causing presence of liquid will harden this material during storage.

    ∆WARNING!
    When mixed with water, this material hardens and becomes very hot – sometimes quickly. DO NOT attempt to make a
    cast enclosing any part of the body using this material. Failure to follow these instructions can cause severe burns that
    may require surgical removal of affected tissue or amputation of limb. Dust may cause eye, nose, throat, or respiratory
    irritation. Avoid dust inhalation and exposure to dust. If dusty, wear a NIOSH/MSHA-approved dust respirator. Use
    proper ventilation to reduce dust exposure. Wear eye protection. If eye contact occurs, flush thoroughly with water for
    15 minutes. If irritation persists, call physician. Do not ingest. If ingested, call physician. Product safety information:
