Chemical Composition/Ingredients
The GHS is an acronym for The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals. The GHS is a system for standardizing and harmonizing the classification and labelling of chemicals. Chemicals are associated with codes that define their health, physical and environmental hazards.This universal hazard communication system was developed to ensure that employers, employees and consumers are provided with adequate, practical, reliable and comprehensible information on the hazards of chemicals, so that they can take effective preventive and protective measure for their own health and safety.

Hazard Codes and their associated descriptions are an essential part of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). There are 4 categories of Hazard Codes:
- Physical Hazard Codes (H200 series)
- Health Hazard Codes (H300 series)
- Environmental Hazard Codes (H400 series)
- Supplementary Hazard Codes (EUH series)
Hazard Codes may be found in the "Advanced" version of Chemical Composition / Ingredients tables.

Precautionary Code
Precautionary Codes may be found in the "Advanced" version of Chemical Composition / Ingredients tables.PictogramSVHC is a substance (identified by the European Chemicals Agency) that may have serious and often irreversible effects on human health and the environment. SVHC are defined in Article 57 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (“the REACH Regulation”) and include substances which are:
SVHC?
1. Carcinogenic, Mutagenic or toxic to Reproduction (CMR), meeting the criteria for classification in category 1 or 2 in accordance with Directive 67/548/EEC or in category 1a or 1b in accordance with EC No 1272/2008This directive was recently replaced by the new EU regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
2. Persistent, Bioaccumulative and Toxic (PBT) or very Persistent and very Bioaccumulative (vPvB) according to the criteria in Annex XIII of the REACH Regulation, or
3. Identified, on a case-by-case basis, from scientific evidence as causing probable serious effects to human health or the environment of an equivalent level of concern as those above (e.g. endocrine disrupters).Attapulgite * 012174-11-7 -- <5 -------- ------- ---- No Perlite * 093763-70-3 -- <10 -------- ------- ---- No Bentonite * 001302-78-9 215-108-5 <5 -------- ------- ---- No Polyvinyl acetate * 009003-20-7 -- <5 -------- ------- ---- No Mica * 012001-26-2 - <10 -------- ------- ---- Yes Sepiolite * 063800-37-3 264-456-3 <5 -------- ------- ---- No Calcium carbonate (Limestone) 001317-65-3 215-279-6 >50 -------- ------- ---- No Talc (non-fibrous) * 014807-96-6 238-877-9 <5 -------- P101, P102, P280, P305+P351+P338 ---- No Quartz 014808-60-7 238-878-4 <5 -------- ------- ---- No Calcium magnesium carbonate 016389-88-1 240-440-2 >50 -------- ------- ---- No Ethylene/Vinyl acetate co-polymer * 024937-78-8 429-840-1 <5 -------- ------- ---- No Click on each chemical for information on chemical structure, properties and health effects.

Acute health effects
From MSDS:
Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview
ProForm Ready Mix Joint Compound Products do not present an inhalation, ingestion, or contact health hazard unless subjected to operations such as sanding or machining which result in the generation of airborne particulate. A slight odor from the latex may be evident upon opening the container, which will dissipate quickly. This product contains quartz (crystalline silica) as a naturally occurring contaminant. It is recommended that a NIOSH approved particulate respirator be worn whenever working with this product results in airborne dust exposure exceeding the prescribed limits.
Potential Health Effects
Primary Routes of Entry: Inhalation, Dermal contact
Eye Contact: Direct contact may cause mechanical irritation.
Skin Contact: Continued and prolonged contact may result in irritation to the skin. Continued chronic exposure may result in dermatitis.
Inhalation: Acute exposure to airborne dust concentrations in excess of the PEL/TLV may result in coughing, dyspnea, wheezing, general irritation of the nose, throat, and upper respiratory tract, and impaired pulmonary function.
Ingestion: No known adverse effects. May result in obstruction or temporary irritation of the digestive tract. -
Chronic health effects
From MSDS:
Chronic exposures may result in lung disease (silicosis and/or lung cancer). -
Carcinogenicity
This product contains quartz (crystalline silica) as a naturally occurring contaminant. Chronic exposure to crystalline silica in the respirable size has been shown to cause silicosis, a debilitating lung disease. In addition, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies crystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources as carcinogenic to humans, Group 1. The National Toxicology Program (NTP) classifies respirable crystalline silica as a substance, which may be reasonably anticipated to be a carcinogen. OSHA does not regulate crystalline silica as a human carcinogen. Some products may contain attapulgite clay. IARC classifies attapulgite (long fiber) carcinogenic to humans, Group 2B. Attapulgite is not classified as a carcinogen by NTP or OSHA.
-
Handling information
Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Wear recommended personal protective equipment when handling. Avoid breathing vapors when opening container. Minimize generation of dust. Avoid breathing dust. Store material in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Do not store outside or in direct sunlight. Keep from freezing to preserve usefulness. Keep containers closed when not in use.
-
Disposal information
Dispose of according to Local, State, Federal, and Provincial Environmental Regulations.
-
California Prop. 65 Warning
Respirable crystalline silica is known to the state of California to cause cancer. Industrial hygiene monitoring during recommended use of this product failed to identify any respirable crystalline silica.
-
First Aid
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with water for 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses (if applicable). Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin Contact: Flush and wash skin with soap and water. Utilize lotions to alleviate dryness if present. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Inhalation: Remove exposed individual to fresh air immediately. If breathing difficulty persists, seek medical attention.
Ingestion: This product is not expected to be hazardous and no harmful effects are expected upon ingestion of small amounts. Larger amounts may cause abdominal discomfort or possible obstruction of the digestive tract. Seek medical attention if problems persist.
