Specific Gravity: 2.5 – 2.8
Evaporation Rate: Does not evaporate.
Section 10: Stability and Reactivity
Stability: stable
Conditions to avoid: none known.
Incompatibility: strong oxidizers, strong acids. Silica will dissolve in hydrofluoric acid
to produce silicon tetrafluoride, a corrosive gas.
Hazardous polymerization: will not occur
Hazardous decomposition products: Material is not likely to decompose. Abrasion
can create silica-containing respirable dusts.
Section 11: Toxicological Information
Not considered acutely toxic.
No listed ingredients are classified as irritants, per skin or eye irritation criteria of GHS.
Not considered respiratory or skin sensitizer.
No ingredients have been associated with reproductive toxicity.
Respirable crystalline silica is categorized as a Health Hazard Carcinogen Category 1A
(known to have carcinogenic potential for humans) and a Health Hazard Specific Target
Organ Toxicity – Repeated Exposure Category 1. Respirable crystalline silica (quartz)
can cause silicosis, a fibrosis (scarring) of the lungs. There is evidence that exposure to
respirable silica or the disease silicosis is associated with an increased incidence of
scleroderma, tuberculosis and kidney disorders.
Crystalline silica is listed as carcinogenic according to IARC. ACGIH classified
crystalline silica as a suspected human carcinogen
Section 12: Ecological Information
Product has not been tested but is expected to have very low acute toxicity.
Ecotoxicity:
Not considered hazardous to the aquatic environment or to the ozone layer.
Persistence and degradability: Not likely to biodegrade.
Mobility in soil: Not mobile.
Bioaccumulation: Not likely to bioaccumulate.
