Section 1. Product and Company Identification Product Name: : Basix® Quartz Surfaces Restrictions on Use : Surfacing Applications for recommended applications Manufacturer/Supplier : Polarstone US 28241 Crown Valley Parkway Suite F-297 Laguna Nigel, CA 92677 Office Phone - 888-719-1126 Office FAX ---- 909-932-3078 Section 2. Hazards Identification Classification : As shipped, non-hazardous quartz surfacing product Hazard Warnings : Exposure limits may be applicable when cutting or grinding product creating dust, which can contain particles of crystalline silica (quartz). Overexposure to airborne quartz particles can cause silicosis. Signal Word : Danger: Do not breathe dust (S22). Wear suitable respiratory equipment when ventilation insufficient (S38) Risk Phrase : Danger of serious health damage by prolonged exposure through inhalation. (R 20/48) Section 3. Composition/Information on Ingredients Ingredient CAS # Percent Quartz 14808-60-7 >85% Non Regulated Ingredients Mixture <15% Section 4. First Aid Measures First aid measures are not required when exposed to slabs of material. Always seek Medical assistance if necessary. In situations of exposure to particulates when cutting, grinding, etc, the slabs, the following measures are recommended: Inhalation: Move individual to fresh air, seek medical assistance if individual experiences breathing difficulty. Skin contact: Wash exposed areas with soap and water. Eye contact: Flush eyes with water for at least 5 minutes. Do not rub eye.
