Respirable crystalline silica (RCS) has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. But the health concerns associated with silica dust are not news to us at Fosroc ANZ. We have invested in significant research and development to achieve 'RCS hazard free' status across our concrete repair mortars and grouts. This includes our Renderoc, Patchroc, Conbextra and Guncrete ranges.
Being 'RCS hazard free' means the products contain less than 0.1% respirable crystalline silica and are therefore non-hazardous in accordance with the Australian Inventory of Industrial Chemicals. This means safer mixing when working with Fosroc ANZ's mortars and grouts. However, wearing a dust mask and working in well-ventilated areas is still essential.
Check the product label or contact the manufacturer to determine RCS content. Products manufactured in Australia that contain respirable crystalline silica are required to include the statement ‘H350 May cause cancer’ on the SDS and packaging. Unfortunately, products manufactured overseas might not include this warning.
