SECTION 2: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

Classification of mixture: Non-classified (1999/45/EEC)

Each glaze family is a mixture of ceramic material containing, water, non-leaded frits, clay, and other minerals and color pigments. Contains potential carcinogens: Crystalline silica (quartz), as an inhalation hazard, may be present if:

  • Unfired, dried glaze is excessively handled and allowed to create dust.
  • Mist is present after spray application

A few pigments may contain a very small amount of zirconium encapsulated cadmium, titanium dioxide, and other metals. Other ingredients present have no known acute toxicity.

GHS Label Elements: None Required

Other Hazards: None known


SECTION 3: COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS

Each glaze family contain proprietary mixtures of ceramic materials (listed below) and color pigments. The Foundations® glaze line is classified as non-hazardous.

SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE

  • Precautions for Safe Handling: Ventilation - local exhaust if spray application is used
  • Work/Hygienic Practices: Food, beverages, and smoking materials should not be in the work area. Wash thoroughly before eating, drinking, smoking, or applying cosmetics.
  • Conditions for Safe Storage, Including Incompatibilities: None

SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Ingredients CAS # PEL TLV
Zinc Oxide 1314-13-2 5 mg/m3 2.0 mg/m3

Remaining main glaze ingredients do not have formal Exposure Limits. Some pigments contain metals that have exposure limits (Co, TiO2, Cu, Cr, Mn) but are used in low levels.

These glazes are non-hazardous liquid mixtures of ceramic materials containing, water, non-leaded frits, clay, and other minerals and color pigments. These mixtures have no TLV or PEL

  • Engineer Control: Adequate ventilation (local exhaust) if spray application is used.
  • Respiratory Protection: Use a NIOSH approved respirator if spray application is used.
  • Protective Gloves: Not normally needed.
  • Eye Protection: Wear appropiate eye protection or safety glasses to keep mist out of eyes if spray application is used.
  • Personal Protective Clothing or Equipment: Wear appropriate clean, protective clothing such as, but not limited to, overalls, smocks, and aprons.

SECTION 11: TOXICOLOGY INFORMATION

Primary Route(s) of Entry: Dermal, Inhalation.  

Hazard to Humans: None during normal use. The highest threat of inhalation exists during the excessive handling of dried, unfired glazed ware and/or during spray application.

Acute Toxicity: N/A Carcinogenicity: N/A
Skin Corrosion.Irritation: N/A Reproductive Toxicity: N/A
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: N/A STOT-Single Exposure: N/A
Respiratory/Skin Sensitization: N/A STOT-Repeated Exposure: N/A
Germ Cell Mutagenicity: N/A Aspiration Hazard: N/A

Additional information:

These mixtures contain silica, a know carcinogen. Inhalation is the route of entry into the body that can lead to the development of Silicosis.

These water-based, premixed products should be non-toxic during recommended use.

Some of the pigments may contain small amounts of various forms of metals (Sn, Mn, TiO2, Cu, Zr, V, Fe. Co, Cr, Ni, Cd ), some of which are considered carcinogenic. The metals in pigments may be in form of frits, spinel or formed from high temperature calcination that may have a different bioavailability than the metal itself. Silica and pigments in the glaze should be non-toxic during recommended use.
