Hazardous Components

Further information

Frits are produced from the chemical reactions which occur during the high temperature smelting of various raw materials to form a molten glass. This glass is rapidly cooled and then ground to produce powdered frit. The lead listed for this product is incorporated into the glass structure of the frit, chemically reacted in the form of silicates of other essentially insoluble complexes. Exposure to the hazardous ingredients can occur if spray mist is inhaled or glaze ingested and the ingredient dissolves out of the glass. Because of the chemical stability of frit and its resistance to attack by acids or alkali, this is anticipated to occur very slowly. This product contains the following component(s) that require reporting under Section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, also known as Title III of SARA (Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act), and 40 CFR Part 372: COMPONENT PERCENT PRESENT(a) Lead compounds Up to 28% (as PbO) Barium compounds Up to 5 % (as BaO) Cadmium compounds Up to 7% (as CdO) (Continued) (a) The percent reported is based on the theoretical composition of this frit. While existing in theory, the component(s) mentioned are only present as part of FRIT (CAS #65997-18-4*).
