Composition/information on ingredients 3.1 Substances Component EC-No.CAS-No Weight % - range Classification (67/548) Classification (Reg. 1272/2008) REACH registration number Crystalline silica (impurity) 238-878-4 14808-60-7 1-5 Xn; R48/20 STOT Rep. 2 - H373 Exempt Silica - crystalline, tridymite 239-487-1 15468-32-3 0-1 Xn; R48/20 STOT RE 2 (H373)No data available 3.2 Mixtures Not Applicable Comments Naturally occuring mineral. The product contains other ingredients which do not contribute to the overall classification. This product contains a small quantity of quartz, crystalline silica. Prolonged and repeated exposure to concentrations of crystalline silica exceeding the workplace exposure limit (WEL) may lead to chronic lung disease such as silicosis. IARC Monographs, Vol. 68, 1997, concludes that there is sufficient evidence that inhaled crystalline silica in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources causes cancer in humans. IARC Classification Group I. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 2 / 12 4.
