<strong>MATERIAL DATA</strong>
<strong>RENOLITH WS:</strong>

<strong>CALCIUM CHLORIDE, HYDRATED:</strong>
<strong>¦ It is the goal of the ACGIH (and other Agencies) to recommend TLVs (or their equivalent) for all substances for which there is evidence of health effects at airborne concentrations encountered in</strong>
<strong>the workplace.</strong>
<strong>At this time no TLV has been established, even though this material may produce adverse health effects (as evidenced in animal experiments or clinical experience). Airborne concentrations must be</strong>
<strong>maintained as low as is practically possible and occupational exposure must be kept to a minimum.</strong>
<strong>NOTE: The ACGIH occupational exposure standard for Particles Not Otherwise Specified (P.N.O.S) does NOT apply.</strong>
<strong>Sensory irritants are chemicals that produce temporary and undesirable side-effects on the eyes, nose or throat. Historically occupational exposure standards for these irritants have been based on</strong>
<strong>observation of workers' responses to various airborne concentrations. Present day expectations require that nearly every individual should be protected against even minor sensory irritation and</strong>
<strong>exposure standards are established using uncertainty factors or safety factors of 5 to 10 or more. On occasion animal no-observable-effect-levels (NOEL) are used to determine these limits where</strong>
<strong>human results are unavailable. An additional approach, typically used by the TLV committee (USA) in determining respiratory standards for this group of chemicals, has been to assign ceiling values</strong>
<strong>(TLV C) to rapidly acting irritants and to assign short-term exposure limits (TLV STELs) when the weight of evidence from irritation, bioaccumulation and other endpoints combine to warrant such a</strong>
<strong>limit. In contrast the MAK Commission (Germany) uses a five-category system based on intensive odour, local irritation, and elimination half-life. However this system is being replaced to be</strong>
<strong>consistent with the European Union (EU) Scientific Committee for Occupational Exposure Limits (SCOEL); this is more closely allied to that of the USA.</strong>
<strong>OSHA (USA) concluded that exposure to sensory irritants can:</strong>
<strong>cause inflammation</strong>
<strong>cause increased susceptibility to other irritants and infectious agents</strong>
<strong>lead to permanent injury or dysfunction</strong>
<strong>permit greater absorption of hazardous substances and</strong>
<strong>acclimate the worker to the irritant warning properties of these substances thus increasing the risk of overexposure.</strong>

<strong>PERSONAL PROTECTION</strong>
<strong>EYE</strong>
<strong>¦</strong>
<strong>Safety glasses with side shields.</strong>
<strong>Chemical goggles.</strong>
<strong>Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lens or restrictions on use, should be</strong>
<strong>created for each workplace or task. This should include a review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid</strong>
<strong>personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as</strong>
<strong>soon as practicable. Lens should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC</strong>

<strong>ENGINEERING CONTROLS</strong>
<strong>¦ General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. Local exhaust ventilation may be required in specific circumstances. If risk of overexposure exists, wear approved respirator.</strong>
<strong>Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage areas. Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape"</strong>
<strong>velocities which, in turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air required to effectively remove the contaminant.</strong>
<strong>Within each range the appropriate value depends on:</strong>
<strong>Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the opening of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the square of distance from the extraction point (in</strong>
<strong>simple cases). Therefore the air speed at the extraction point should be adjusted, accordingly, after reference to distance from the contaminating source. The air velocity at the extraction fan, for</strong>
<strong>example, should be a minimum of 1-2 m/s (200-400 f/min) for extraction of solvents generated in a tank 2 meters distant from the extraction point. Other mechanical considerations, producing</strong>
<strong>performance deficits within the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed or used.</strong>
<strong>Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:</strong>
<strong>solvent, vapours, degreasing etc., evaporating from tank (in still air). 0.25-0.5 m/s (50-100 f/min)</strong>
<strong>aerosols, fumes from pouring operations, intermittent container filling, low speed conveyer</strong>
<strong>transfers, welding, spray drift, plating acid fumes, pickling (released at low velocity into zone of</strong>
<strong>active generation)</strong>
<strong>0.5-1 m/s (100-200 f/min.)</strong>
<strong>direct spray, spray painting in shallow booths, drum filling, conveyer loading, crusher dusts, gas</strong>
<strong>discharge (active generation into zone of rapid air motion) 1-2.5 m/s (200-500 f/min.)</strong>
<strong>grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, high speed wheel generated dusts (released at high initial</strong>
<strong>velocity into zone of very high rapid air motion). 2.5-10 m/s (500-2000 f/min.)</strong>
<strong>Lower end of the range Upper end of the range</strong>

<strong>Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION</strong>
<strong>POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS</strong>
<strong>ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS</strong>
<strong>SWALLOWED</strong>
<strong>¦ Accidental ingestion of the material may be harmful; animal experiments indicate that ingestion of less than 150 gram may be fatal or may produce serious damage to the health of the individual.</strong>
<strong>EYE</strong>
<strong>¦ This material can cause eye irritation and damage in some persons.</strong>
<strong>SKIN</strong>
<strong>¦ There is some evidence to suggest that this material can cause inflammation of the skin on contact in some persons.</strong>
<strong>Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any</strong>
<strong>external damage is suitably protected.</strong>
<strong>INHALED</strong>
<strong>¦ The material is not thought to produce either adverse health effects or irritation of the respiratory tract following inhalation (as classified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless,</strong>
<strong>adverse systemic effects have been produced following exposure of animals by at least one other route and good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable</strong>
<strong>control measures be used in an occupational setting.</strong>
<strong>CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS</strong>
<strong>¦ Long-term exposure to the product is not thought to produce chronic effects adverse to the health (as classified by EC Directives using animal models); nevertheless exposure by all routes should</strong>
<strong>be minimised as a matter of course.</strong>

<strong>CALCIUM CHLORIDE, HYDRATED:</strong>
<strong>¦ unless otherwise specified data extracted from RTECS - Register of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances.</strong>
<strong>¦ Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material ceases. This may be due to a non-allergenic condition known as reactive airways dysfunction syndrome</strong>
<strong>(RADS) which can occur following exposure to high levels of highly irritating compound. Key criteria for the diagnosis of RADS include the absence of preceding respiratory disease, in a non-atopic</strong>
<strong>individual, with abrupt onset of persistent asthma-like symptoms within minutes to hours of a documented exposure to the irritant. A reversible airflow pattern, on spirometry, with the presence of</strong>
<strong>moderate to severe bronchial hyperreactivity on methacholine challenge testing and the lack of minimal lymphocytic inflammation, without eosinophilia, have also been included in the criteria for</strong>
<strong>diagnosis of RADS. RADS (or asthma) following an irritating inhalation is an infrequent disorder with rates related to the concentration of and duration of exposure to the irritating substance. Industrial</strong>
<strong>bronchitis, on the other hand, is a disorder that occurs as result of exposure due to high concentrations of irritating substance (often particulate in nature) and is completely reversible after exposure</strong>
<strong>ceases. The disorder is characterised by dyspnea, cough and mucus production.</strong>

<strong>Section 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION</strong>
<strong>¦ DO NOT discharge into sewer or waterways.</strong>
<strong>Refer to data for ingredients, which follows:</strong>
<strong>CALCIUM CHLORIDE, HYDRATED:</strong>
<strong>¦ Although inorganic chloride ions are not normally considered toxic they can exist in effluents at acutely toxic levels (chloride &gt;3000 mg/l). the resulting salinity can exceed the tolerances of most</strong>
<strong>freshwater organisms.</strong>
<strong>Inorganic chlorine eventually finds its way into the aqueous compartment and as such is bioavailable. Incidental exposure to inorganic chloride may occur in occupational settings where chemicals</strong>
<strong>management policies are improperly applied. The toxicity of chloride salts depends on the counter-ion (cation) present; that of chloride itself is unknown. Chloride toxicity has not been observed in</strong>
<strong>humans except in the special case of impaired sodium chloride metabolism, e.g. in congestive heart failure . Healthy individuals can tolerate the intake of large quantities of chloride provided that there</strong>
<strong>is a concomitant intake of fresh water.</strong>
<strong>Although excessive intake of drinking-water containing sodium chloride at concentrations</strong>
<strong>above 2.5 g/litre has been reported to produce hypertension, this effect is believed to be related to the sodium ion concentration.</strong>
<strong>Chloride concentrations in excess of about 250 mg/litre can give rise to detectable taste in water, but the threshold depends upon the associated cations. Consumers can, however, become</strong>
<strong>accustomed to concentrations in excess of 250 mg/litre. No health-based guideline value is proposed for chloride in drinking-water.</strong>
<strong>In humans, 88% of chloride is extracellular and contributes to the osmotic activity of body fluids. The electrolyte balance in the body is maintained by adjusting total dietary intake and by excretion via</strong>
<strong>the kidneys and gastrointestinal tract. Chloride is almost completely absorbed in normal individuals, mostly from the proximal half of the small intestine. Normal fluid loss amounts to about 1.5?2</strong>
<strong>liters/day, together with about 4 g of chloride per day. Most (90 - 95%) is excreted in the urine, with minor amounts in faeces (4- %) and sweat (2%)</strong>
<strong>Chloride increases the electrical conductivity of water and thus increases its corrosivity. In metal pipes, chloride reacts with metal ions to form soluble salts thus increasing levels of metals in drinkingwater.</strong>
<strong>In lead pipes, a protective oxide layer is built up, but chloride enhances galvanic corrosion. It can also increase the rate of pitting corrosion of metal pipes.</strong>
<strong>Increases the hardness of water. A harmful effect of aquatic organisms is only to be expected at high concentrations. [Merck]</strong>

<strong>CALCIUM CHLORIDE, HYDRATED:</strong>
<strong>¦ It is the goal of the ACGIH (and other Agencies) to recommend TLVs (or their equivalent) for all substances for which there is evidence of health effects at airborne concentrations encountered in</strong>
<strong>the workplace.</strong>
<strong>At this time no TLV has been established, even though this material may produce adverse health effects (as evidenced in animal experiments or clinical experience). Airborne concentrations must be</strong>
<strong>maintained as low as is practically possible and occupational exposure must be kept to a minimum.</strong>
<strong>NOTE: The ACGIH occupational exposure standard for Particles Not Otherwise Specified (P.N.O.S) does NOT apply.</strong>
<strong>Sensory irritants are chemicals that produce temporary and undesirable side-effects on the eyes, nose or throat. Historically occupational exposure standards for these irritants have been based on</strong>
<strong>observation of workers' responses to various airborne concentrations. Present day expectations require that nearly every individual should be protected against even minor sensory irritation and</strong>
<strong>exposure standards are established using uncertainty factors or safety factors of 5 to 10 or more. On occasion animal no-observable-effect-levels (NOEL) are used to determine these limits where</strong>
<strong>human results are unavailable. An additional approach, typically used by the TLV committee (USA) in determining respiratory standards for this group of chemicals, has been to assign ceiling values</strong>
<strong>(TLV C) to rapidly acting irritants and to assign short-term exposure limits (TLV STELs) when the weight of evidence from irritation, bioaccumulation and other endpoints combine to warrant such a</strong>
<strong>limit. In contrast the MAK Commission (Germany) uses a five-category system based on intensive odour, local irritation, and elimination half-life. However this system is being replaced to be</strong>
<strong>consistent with the European Union (EU) Scientific Committee for Occupational Exposure Limits (SCOEL); this is more closely allied to that of the USA.</strong>
<strong>OSHA (USA) concluded that exposure to sensory irritants can:</strong>
<strong>cause inflammation</strong>
<strong>cause increased susceptibility to other irritants and infectious agents</strong>
<strong>lead to permanent injury or dysfunction</strong>
<strong>permit greater absorption of hazardous substances and</strong>
<strong>acclimate the worker to the irritant warning properties of these substances thus increasing the risk of overexposure.</strong>

<strong>Safety glasses with side shields.</strong>
<strong>Chemical goggles.</strong>
<strong>Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lens or restrictions on use, should be</strong>
<strong>created for each workplace or task. This should include a review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid</strong>
<strong>personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as</strong>
<strong>soon as practicable. Lens should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC</strong>

<strong>ENGINEERING CONTROLS</strong>
<strong>¦ General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. Local exhaust ventilation may be required in specific circumstances. If risk of overexposure exists, wear approved respirator.</strong>
<strong>Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage areas. Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape"</strong>
<strong>velocities which, in turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air required to effectively remove the contaminant.</strong>
<strong>Within each range the appropriate value depends on:</strong>
<strong>Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the opening of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the square of distance from the extraction point (in</strong>
<strong>simple cases). Therefore the air speed at the extraction point should be adjusted, accordingly, after reference to distance from the contaminating source. The air velocity at the extraction fan, for</strong>
<strong>example, should be a minimum of 1-2 m/s (200-400 f/min) for extraction of solvents generated in a tank 2 meters distant from the extraction point. Other mechanical considerations, producing</strong>
<strong>performance deficits within the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed or used.</strong>
<strong>Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:</strong>
<strong>solvent, vapours, degreasing etc., evaporating from tank (in still air). 0.25-0.5 m/s (50-100 f/min)</strong>
<strong>aerosols, fumes from pouring operations, intermittent container filling, low speed conveyer</strong>
<strong>transfers, welding, spray drift, plating acid fumes, pickling (released at low velocity into zone of</strong>
<strong>active generation)</strong>
<strong>0.5-1 m/s (100-200 f/min.)</strong>
<strong>direct spray, spray painting in shallow booths, drum filling, conveyer loading, crusher dusts, gas</strong>
<strong>discharge (active generation into zone of rapid air motion) 1-2.5 m/s (200-500 f/min.)</strong>
<strong>grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, high speed wheel generated dusts (released at high initial</strong>
<strong>velocity into zone of very high rapid air motion). 2.5-10 m/s (500-2000 f/min.)</strong>
<strong>Lower end of the range Upper end of the range</strong>

<strong>POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS</strong>
<strong>ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS</strong>
<strong>SWALLOWED</strong>
<strong>¦ Accidental ingestion of the material may be harmful; animal experiments indicate that ingestion of less than 150 gram may be fatal or may produce serious damage to the health of the individual.</strong>
<strong>EYE</strong>
<strong>¦ This material can cause eye irritation and damage in some persons.</strong>
<strong>SKIN</strong>
<strong>¦ There is some evidence to suggest that this material can cause inflammation of the skin on contact in some persons.</strong>
<strong>Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any</strong>
<strong>external damage is suitably protected.</strong>
<strong>INHALED</strong>
<strong>¦ The material is not thought to produce either adverse health effects or irritation of the respiratory tract following inhalation (as classified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless,</strong>
<strong>adverse systemic effects have been produced following exposure of animals by at least one other route and good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable</strong>
<strong>control measures be used in an occupational setting.</strong>
<strong>CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS</strong>
<strong>¦ Long-term exposure to the product is not thought to produce chronic effects adverse to the health (as classified by EC Directives using animal models); nevertheless exposure by all routes should</strong>
<strong>be minimised as a matter of course.</strong>

<strong>CALCIUM CHLORIDE, HYDRATED:</strong>
<strong>¦ unless otherwise specified data extracted from RTECS - Register of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances.</strong>
<strong>¦ Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material ceases. This may be due to a non-allergenic condition known as reactive airways dysfunction syndrome</strong>
<strong>(RADS) which can occur following exposure to high levels of highly irritating compound. Key criteria for the diagnosis of RADS include the absence of preceding respiratory disease, in a non-atopic</strong>
<strong>individual, with abrupt onset of persistent asthma-like symptoms within minutes to hours of a documented exposure to the irritant. A reversible airflow pattern, on spirometry, with the presence of</strong>
<strong>moderate to severe bronchial hyperreactivity on methacholine challenge testing and the lack of minimal lymphocytic inflammation, without eosinophilia, have also been included in the criteria for</strong>
<strong>diagnosis of RADS. RADS (or asthma) following an irritating inhalation is an infrequent disorder with rates related to the concentration of and duration of exposure to the irritating substance. Industrial</strong>
<strong>bronchitis, on the other hand, is a disorder that occurs as result of exposure due to high concentrations of irritating substance (often particulate in nature) and is completely reversible after exposure</strong>
<strong>ceases. The disorder is characterised by dyspnea, cough and mucus production.</strong>

<strong>Section 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION</strong>
<strong>¦ DO NOT discharge into sewer or waterways.</strong>
<strong>Refer to data for ingredients, which follows:</strong>
<strong>CALCIUM CHLORIDE, HYDRATED:</strong>
<strong>¦ Although inorganic chloride ions are not normally considered toxic they can exist in effluents at acutely toxic levels (chloride &gt;3000 mg/l). the resulting salinity can exceed the tolerances of most</strong>
<strong>freshwater organisms.</strong>
<strong>Inorganic chlorine eventually finds its way into the aqueous compartment and as such is bioavailable. Incidental exposure to inorganic chloride may occur in occupational settings where chemicals</strong>
<strong>management policies are improperly applied. The toxicity of chloride salts depends on the counter-ion (cation) present; that of chloride itself is unknown. Chloride toxicity has not been observed in</strong>
<strong>humans except in the special case of impaired sodium chloride metabolism, e.g. in congestive heart failure . Healthy individuals can tolerate the intake of large quantities of chloride provided that there</strong>
<strong>is a concomitant intake of fresh water.</strong>
<strong>Although excessive intake of drinking-water containing sodium chloride at concentrations</strong>
<strong>above 2.5 g/litre has been reported to produce hypertension, this effect is believed to be related to the sodium ion concentration.</strong>
<strong>Chloride concentrations in excess of about 250 mg/litre can give rise to detectable taste in water, but the threshold depends upon the associated cations. Consumers can, however, become</strong>
<strong>accustomed to concentrations in excess of 250 mg/litre. No health-based guideline value is proposed for chloride in drinking-water.</strong>
<strong>In humans, 88% of chloride is extracellular and contributes to the osmotic activity of body fluids. The electrolyte balance in the body is maintained by adjusting total dietary intake and by excretion via</strong>
<strong>the kidneys and gastrointestinal tract. Chloride is almost completely absorbed in normal individuals, mostly from the proximal half of the small intestine. Normal fluid loss amounts to about 1.5?2</strong>
<strong>liters/day, together with about 4 g of chloride per day. Most (90 - 95%) is excreted in the urine, with minor amounts in faeces (4- %) and sweat (2%)</strong>
<strong>Chloride increases the electrical conductivity of water and thus increases its corrosivity. In metal pipes, chloride reacts with metal ions to form soluble salts thus increasing levels of metals in drinkingwater.</strong>
<strong>In lead pipes, a protective oxide layer is built up, but chloride enhances galvanic corrosion. It can also increase the rate of pitting corrosion of metal pipes.</strong>
<strong>Increases the hardness of water. A harmful effect of aquatic organisms is only to be expected at high concentrations. [Merck]</strong>
