SECTION It - HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS
Contains less than 0.5% by weight of a naturally occurring contaminant tremolite. OSHA Regulation 1910.1001 defines tremolite as asbestos. Some fCfrms of tremolite are platy. Other forms can be fibrillated by physical handling to release airborne "asbestos fibers". Regulation 1910.1001 places a limit of 2 "asbestos fibers"/cc; 8 hour time weighted average and a maximum of 10 "asbestos, fibers"/cc at any one time for airborne fiber exposure.
The physical handling given to expanded vermiculite can release both airborne fibers and nuisance dust. Refer to OSHA Regulation 1910.1001 for approved control procedures.

SECTION II - HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS Contains a naturally occurring mixtur^of-amgaTBOTe-Cbrrtairrtiiamm hornblende anti--
tremolite. The predominant morphology of the contaminant is platy (non-fibrous).. OSHA Regulation 1910.1001 defines tremolite as asbestos. Less than 5% of the con taminant is in a form which can be fibriliated by physical handling to release air borne "asbestos fibers". Regulation 1910.1001 places a limit of 2 "asbestos fibers''/ cc; 8 hour time weighted average and a maximum of 10 "asbestos fibers"/cc at any one time for airborne fiber exposure.
The physical handling given to expanded vemiculite can release both airborne fibers and nuisance dust. Extensive sampling of a wide variety of work stations has shown that'airborne fiber levels are substantially lower than the Regulation 1910.1001 limits for permissible exposure.
