· Immediately give a glass of water.
· First aid is not generally required. If in doubt, contact a Poisons
Information Centre or a doctor.
If this product comes in contact with eyes:
· Wash out immediately with water.
· If irritation continues, seek medical attention.
· Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by
skilled personnel.
Wash affected areas with warm water and soap.
· If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
· Other measures are usually unnecessary.
Treat symptomatically.
There is no restriction on the type of extinguisher which may be used.
Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.
Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves
Use fire fighting procedures suitable for surrounding area.
If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire.
· Non combustible.
· Not considered a significant fire risk, however containers may burn.
Avoid contamination with strong oxidising agents as ignition may result
None
Clean up all spills immediately.
· Clean up all spills immediately.
· Secure load if safe to do so.

Standards
No data available for kaolin as (CAS: 1332-58-7)
None assigned. Refer to individual constituents.
ALUMINIUM OXIDE:
TLV TWA: 10 mg/m³ (Value for particulate matter containing no asbestos and <1% crystalline silica)
A4 [ACGIH]
PEL Total particulate: 15mg/m³ [OSHA Z1]
PEL Respirable fraction : 5mg/m³ [OSHA Z1]
aluminium oxide, containing no asbestos and < 1% crystalline silica
ES TWA: 10 mg/m³ inspirable dust
TLV TWA: 10 mg/m³ total dust A4
NOTE: This substance has been classified by the ACGIH as A4 NOT classifiable as
causing Cancer in humans
OES TWA: 10 mg/m³ total inhalable dust
OES TWA: 4 mg/m³ respirable dust
MAK value: 1.5 mg/m³
- measured as the respirable fraction of the aerosol.
MAK values, and categories and groups are those recommended within the
Federal Republic of Germany
The experimental and clinical data indicate that aluminium oxide acts as an
"inert" material when inhaled and seems to have little effect on the lungs
nor does it produce significant organic disease or toxic effects when
exposures are kept under reasonable control.

KAOLIN:
TLV TWA: 2 mg/m³ (Value for particulate matter containing no asbestos and <1% crystalline
silica,Respirable fraction) A4 [ACGIH]
PEL Total particulate: 15mg/m³ [OSHA Z1]
PEL Respirable fraction : 5mg/m³ [OSHA Z1]
dust containing no asbestos and <1% crystalline silica
TLV TWA: 2 mg/m³ respirable dust A4
NOTE: This substance has been classified by the ACGIH as A4 NOT classifiable as
causing Cancer in humans
ES TWA: 10 mg/m³ inspirable dust
OES TWA: 2 mg/m³ respirable dust
Kaolin dust appears to have fibrogenic potential even in the absence of
crystalline silica. Kaolinosis can exist as simple and complicated forms
with the latter often associated with respiratory symptoms. Crystalline
silica enhances the severity of the pneumoconiosis.
· Safety glasses with side shields; or as required, · Chemical goggles. · Contact lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb irritants and all lenses concentrate them.
Wear general protective gloves: i.e. Disposable polythene gloves or Cotton gloves or Light weight rubber gloves, with Barrier cream preferably Safety footwear.
· Overalls. · Eyewash unit. The local concentration of material, quantity and conditions of use determine the type of personal protective equipment required. For further information consult site specific CHEMWATCH data (if available), or your Occupational Health and Safety Advisor.
Use in a well-ventilated area. Hazard relates to dust released by cutting, grinding, trimming or other shaping operations.
Coloured paper or disc; insoluble in water.
Does not mix with water.

Product is considered stable and hazardous polymerisation will not occur.
Overexposure is unlikely in this form and quantity.
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments
Not normally a hazard due to physical form of product.
Not considered to cause discomfort through normal use.
Irritation and skin reactions are possible with sensitive skin.
The material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis condition
Not normally a hazard due to physical form of product.
The dust may be discomforting to the upper respiratory tract
if inhaled.
Principal routes of exposure are by accidental skin and eye contact and inhalation of
generated dusts. As with any chemical product, contact with unprotected bare skin;
inhalation of vapour, mist or dust in work place atmosphere; or ingestion in any form,
should be avoided by observing good occupational work practice.
