Industrial hygiene studies by USG Corporation and governmental agencies did not detect airborne respirable crystalline silica above OSHA permissible exposure limits (PELs) during activities associated with the normal use of this product, though in some cases total dust PELs were exceeded. However, job site air monitoring should be conducted to determine actual exposure when PELs may be exceeded. SECTION 4: FIRST-AID MEASURES 4.1. DESCRIPTION OF FIRST AID MEASURES Skin contact: Contact with dust: Rinse area with plenty of water. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists. Inhalation: Dust irritates the respiratory system, and may cause coughing and difficulties in breathing. Move injured person into fresh air and keep person calm under observation. Get medical attention if symptoms persist. Eye contact: Dust in the eyes: Do not rub eyes. Flush thoroughly with water. If irritation occurs, get medical assistance. Ingestion: Rinse mouth. Get medical attention if symptoms occur MOST IMPORTANT SYMPTOMS AND EFFECTS, BOTH ACUTE AND DELAYED Dust may irritate eyes and mucous membranes of the nose, throat and upper respiratory system causing sneezing and/or coughing. May cause allergic skin disorders in sensitive individuals INDICATION OF IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION AND SPECIAL TREATMENT NEEDED Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically.

Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons: SPECIAL HAZARDS ARISING FROM THE SUBSTANCE OR MIXTURE Not a fire hazard SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND PRECAUTIONS FOR FIRE-FIGHTERS Selection of respiratory protection for firefighting: follow the general fire precautions indicated in the workplace. Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire. Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials. Specific methods: Cool material exposed to heat with water spray and remove it if no risk is involved. General fire hazards: No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted. SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES 6.1. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS, PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES See Section 8 of the SDS for Personal Protective Equipment ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS Avoid discharge to drains, sewers, and other water systems METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR CONTAINMENT AND CLEANING UP Large Spills: Scoop spilled materials and recover as much of the product as possible for use. If spillage is unrecoverable dispose according to local, state, and federal regulations. Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination. SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE 7.1. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Use proper lifting techniques.

6 Page 6 of 10 Date of Issue: 3/3/2017 PROTECTION FOR SKIN Minimize skin contact. Wear suitable protective clothing. Practice reasonable personal hygiene. PROTECTION FOR HANDS It is a good industrial hygiene practice to minimize skin contact. For prolonged or repeated skin contact use suitable protective gloves. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where exposure limits have not been established), an approved respirator must be worn. Use a NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator as needed to control exposure. Consult with respirator manufacturer to determine respirator selection, use, and limitations. Use positive pressure, air-supplied respirator for uncontrolled releases or when air purifying respirator limitations may be exceeded. Follow respirator protection program requirements (OSHA and ANSI Z88.2) for all respirator use. General hygiene considerations: Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment separately from regular wash. Observe any medical surveillance requirements. SECTION 9: PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES 9.1.
