None
Effects of Acute Exposure
Potential irritant for skin contact, eye contact or inhalation.
Effects of chronic exposure
Perlite is a naturally occurring volcanic glass consisting of fused sodium-potassium-aluminum silicate. Tests conducted on
Perlite have not identified crystalline silica as being present above the detection limit (0.05%). Although there are not
published reports of adverse health effects from exposure to perlite dust, dust levels should be maintained below the OSHA
Permissible Exposure Limit for perlite and respirators used when airborne dust is present.
Irritancy of Product
Potential irritant for skin contact, eye contact or inhalation.
Skin sensitization
Respiratory sensitization
Possible through skin contact.
