possible at temperatures of approximately 2192° F. (1200° C), however, the formation of crystalline silica is highly
dependent on temperature, the duration of time that the fibers are exposed to high temperatures, fiber chemistry
and/or the presence of fluxing agents. The formation of crystalline silica can only be confirmed through laboratory
analysis of the "hot face" fiber.
IARC's evaluation of crystalline silica states "Crystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz or cristobalite from
occupational sources is carcinogenic to humans (Group 1)" and additionally notes "carcinogenicity in humans was
not detected in all industrial circumstances studied" (IARC Monograph Vol. 68, 1997). NTP lists all polymorphs of
crystalline silica amongst substances which may "reasonably be anticipated to be carcinogens".
During removal operations, the use of a full face respirator is recommended to reduce inhalation exposure along
with eye & respiratory tract irritation. A specific evaluation of workplace hazards and the identification of
appropriate respiratory protection is best performed, on a case by case basis, by a qualified industrial hygiene
professional. For more detailed information regarding respirable crystalline silica, call the Product Stewardship
Information Hotline (see below).
Product Stewardship Program
The Unifrax Corporation has established a program to provide customers with up-to-date information regarding the
proper use and handling of fiber-based products, including Solulite™ THERMAL INSULATION. In addition,
Unifrax Corporation has also established a program to monitor airborne fiber concentrations at customer facilities. If
you would like more information about this program, please call the Unifrax Corporation Product Stewardship
Information Line at 1-800-322-2293.
