COMPOSTION INFORMATION AND INGREDIENTS Ingredients: Chemical Name: CAS Number: Proportion: TWA(mg/m³) STEL (mg/m³) Sodium Tripolyphosphate 7758-29-4 Low not set not set Sodium Metasilicate 10213-79-3 Low not set not set Non hazardous surfactants secret 10-30 not set not set Other non hazardous ingredients not set not set Water 7732-18-5 to 100 not set not set This is a commercial product whose exact ratio of components may vary slightly. Minor quantities of other non hazardous ingredients are also possible. The TWA exposure value is the average airborne concentration of a particular substance when calculated over a normal 8 hour working day for a 5 day working week. The STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) is an exposure value that should not be exceeded for more than 15 minutes and should not be repeated for more than 4 times per day. There should be at least 60 minutes between successive exposures at the STEL. The term "peak "is used when the TWA limit, because of the rapid action of the substance, should never be exceeded, even briefly. Page 2 of 6
