Further information
Slag Wool Fiber: Large morbidity and mortality studies of both European and North American
mineral wool manufacturing workers have been conducted. These studies have found no
significant association of non-malignant (i.e. fibrosis) or malignant (i.e., lung cancer or
mesothelioma) lung disease and exposures to slag wool fibers and have not established a causal
relationship between exposure and non-malignant or malignant diseases.
In 2001, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) assigned slag wool fiber to the
Group 3 category [“not classifiable as to carcinogenicity to humans”].
The synthetic mineral fiber used in this product is exonerated from classification as a carcinogen in
accordance with Note Q in the EU Commission Directive 97/69/EC.
Titanium dioxide: Raw materials and/or coatings in this product contain small amounts of titanium
dioxide. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has determined that titanium
dioxide is possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B) based on inadequate evidence in humans
and sufficient evidence in experimental animals. This conclusion relates to long-term inhalation
exposure to high concentrations of pigmentary (powdered) or ultrafine titanium dioxide. However,
no significant exposure to primary particles of titanium dioxide is thought to occur during the use of
products in which titanium dioxide is bound to other materials, such as in paints. The available
human studies do not suggest an association between occupational exposure to titanium dioxide
and risk for cancer (1).
The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) has designated this
chemical as not classifiable as a human carcinogen (A4).
The US National Toxicology Program (NTP) has not listed this chemical in its report on
carcinogens.
VOC Emissions: USG certifies the above listed products are Low-Emitting, defined as a
concentration for each individual volatile organic compound specified in the Standard Practice for
the Testing of Volatile Organic Emissions from Various Sources Using Small-Scale Environmental
Chambers (CA/DHS/EHLB/R-174, 2004; aka, chamber testing portion of CA Section 01350) and
ASTM Standard Guide D5116-06.
