Hazards not otherwise classified (HNOC)

May contain greater than 0.10% free silica. Crystalline silica was not detected by X-Ray Defraction Analysis but may be present above the notification level of 0.10%. (Crystalline silica is considered a hazard by inhalation. During October, 1996, IARC reviewed the literature for polymorphs of crystalline silica and determined that there is sufficient evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of inhaled crystalline silica in the form of quartz or cristobolite from occupational sources.) Does not contain asbestos or fibrous zeolite minerals.
