This product contains silicates at <1% by weight. Silicates include metal silicates, amorphous and crystalline sil-
ica. No analytical method exists to detect and differentiate between amorphous and crystalline silica and other
silicates at <1% by weight. Based on the chemistry of bauxite-derived products, crystalline silica is not expected
to be present in this product.
Alumina is a low health risk by inhalation and should be treated as a nuisance dust as specified by the American
Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH).
