Please note that this material is listed in the TSCA Inventory under its primary ingredient, aluminum oxide (CAS# 1344*28-1).
THIS PRODUCT IS NOT CONSIDERED TOXIC UNDER SARA TITLE III SECTION 313. On February 14, 1990, the United States Environmental Protection Agency delisted non-fibrous forms of aluminum oxide from the list of toxic chemicals to be regulated under Section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (SARA Title III). Products covered by this MSDS contain only non-fibrous forms of aluminum oxide.
