(1) Coal fly ash composition is variable depending on its source. It may contain low levels of crystalline silica, but dust generation and exposure are minimized due to encapsulization in the product. (2) Pigments, dyes, primers, and paints vary with color and product type; present in low concentration, are not expected to contribute to product hazard. (3) The exposure limits set forth in the table are based on a time-weighted 8-hour, or full shift, exposure level. The formula information is provided for industrial hygiene and environmental purposes, and are not intended to represent product specifications.

Special Fire Fighting Procedures

Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus in accordance with the OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard 29 CFR 1910.134
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards

If ignited, material can burn rapidly with intense heat and dense black smoke with toxic gases. Material can melt into a burning liquid that can drip and flow.

SECTION V Reactivity Data

Material is stable. High temperatures, open flames, and oxidizers should be avoided.

SECTION VI Health Hazard Data

ACUTE EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: Eye: Coarse dust can cause mechanical irritation of eyes. If ignited, combustion products will irritate eyes and Skin:

mucous membranes. Material does not pose a hazard to skin under normal use conditions.

Inhalation: Dust can cause mechanical irritation to lungs. If ignited, decomposition products can irritate the

respiratory system and contain toxic gases.

Ingestion:

Material does not pose an ingestion hazard under normal use conditions.

CHRONIC EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:

Repeated and prolonged exposure to dust exceeding levels in Section II can cause lung irritation and lung disease.
CARCINOGENICITY: OSHA: IARC: NIOSH: NTP:

The crystalline silica component of fly ash is recognized by some agencies as a carcinogen. OSHA regulates crystalline silica as a respiratory disease hazard as indicated in Section II. IARC classifies crystalline silica as a Group 1 carcinogen. NIOSH considers respirable crystalline silica as known to be a human carcinogen. NTP has concluded that respirable crystalline silica is a known human carcinogen.

SECTION VII Precautions for Safe Handling

If sawing or shaping boards indoors, adequate ventilation to prevent excessive dust exposure should be used. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Use of NIOSH-approved filtering masks is recommended to minimize exposure to excessive dust in the absence of adequate ventilation. PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Hand protection (gloves) should be used as appropriate to avoid mechanical injury. EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses should be worn when using power saws or shaping equipment to prevent mechanical injury and irritation due to dust. OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT: None recommended.
VENTILATION: Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled:

No special measures are necessary; clean up like any construction debris.

Waste disposal method:

Material when waste is not hazardous waste; follow local requirements for solid waste disposal.
Precautions to be taken in handling and storing:

Avoid high temperatures, open flames, and oxidizers.

SECTION VIII First Aid and Medical

12/31/2009 Rev. 1/29/10 [Synthetic Composite Building Trim Product] Page 2 of 3

Hand washing with soap and water is sufficient to remove dust and prevent any skin irritation. If dust enters eyes, flush with large volumes of water for at least 15 minutes; obtain medical advice if irritation persists. Ingestion: Material is not expected to be harmful if ingested in small amounts. Inhalation: Dust inhalation should be minimized with ventilation and/or respiratory protection. If respiratory distress occurs upon exposure, medical advice should be obtained immediately.
Skin: Eyes: Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure:

Persons sensitive to respiratory irritants (e.g., asthmatics) should avoid dust exposure, which may aggravate their condition.

SECTION IX Other Regulations

RCRA: Waste material is not a listed or characteristic RCRA hazardous waste. EPCRA Section 311/312: Material is an article not subject to chemical inventory requirements. EPCRA Section 313: No included components are subject to supplier notification requirements of the Toxics

Release Inventory (TRI) rule.

DOT: Material is not regulated as a hazardous material during transportation. UN/NA Code: None assigned. Placard Required: Not required. Labeling Requirement: Not required. The information and recommendations set forth herein are based on data we have in our possession, and we have reason to believe is accurate. It is, however, the users responsibility to determine the safety, toxicity, or suitability for his/her own use of the herein described product.
