Q: Does Thermo-12® Gold insulation present a lung cancer risk due to exposure to crystalline silica?
A: No, air monitoring during actual fabrication and installation of Thermo-12® Gold and continual cutting under "worst case situations" found no exposure to respirable crystalline silica dust.
The raw ingredients used to manufacture Thermo-12® Gold are naturally occurring minerals. Unfortunately, crystalline silica is also a naturally occurring mineral and is a contaminant that may be found in the minerals used in the product.
