Official SDS Report: Safety, Compliance & Transport of Flexible Stone Binder
Meta Description :
Read the official Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for our Flexible Stone adhesive. Compliant with EU CLP regulations, this document details safe handling instructions and confirms it is non-restricted for global transport.
1. Report Overview
This page presents the official Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for our Special Binder for Flexible Stone, compiled by the Shanghai Institute of Chemical Industry Testing Co., Ltd. (SICIT). The SDS is fully compliant with the European CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. It provides a comprehensive guide on the chemical properties, safe handling procedures, and transport classifications of our adhesive, ensuring maximum safety and legal compliance for Flexible Stone Engineering and Facade Retrofit projects worldwide.
2. Data Analysis: Transparency and Safety
For professional builders, an SDS is more than just a legal document; it is a safety manual. Our report provides complete transparency regarding the adhesive’s composition and safety profile:
- Safe Handling & PPE: The report classifies the wet adhesive as causing serious eye irritation (H318) and respiratory irritation (H335). Therefore, it explicitly recommends standard Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as chemical safety goggles and masks, during installation. This demonstrates our commitment to the occupational health of construction workers.
- Eco-Friendly Composition: The primary components are acrylic emulsion, calcium carbonate, fine sand, and water. According to Section 12, the material is rapidly biodegradable and contains zero PBT (Persistent, Bioaccumulative, and Toxic) substances or endocrine disruptors.
- 100% Global Transport Compliance: While the wet binder requires safe handling, Section 14 explicitly states that it is Not Subject To RID/ADR (Road), IATA DGR (Air), and IMO IMDG (Sea) dangerous goods regulations. This ensures fast customs clearance and eliminates dangerous goods surcharges for international buyers.
3. Certification Details
- Regulation Standard: EU CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 & (EU) 2020/878
- Main Components: Acrylic Emulsion, Calcium Carbonate, Fine Sand.
- Transport Status: Not regulated for transport by Sea, Air, or Land.
- Disclaimer: This report is meant as a guide for safe handling. Users must follow local regulations and use appropriate PPE during application.
4. FAQ
Q1: Why does the adhesive have a hazard warning label?
A: In its liquid, uncured state, the adhesive may cause temporary eye or respiratory irritation. This is standard for most professional construction adhesives. The SDS transparently labels these properties to ensure that workers wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as safety goggles and masks, during installation.
Q2: Is the adhesive considered dangerous for international shipping?
A: No. According to Section 14 of the SDS, the product is not subject to any dangerous goods regulations for sea (IMO IMDG), air (IATA), or land (RID/ADR) transport. It can be shipped as general cargo without expensive DG surcharges.
Q3: Does the adhesive contain harmful environmental pollutants?
A: No. The SDS confirms that the product contains no persistent or bioaccumulative toxic substances (PBT/vPvB) and no endocrine disruptors. Furthermore, it is formulated without harmful heavy metals, making it safe for the environment once cured.
Q4: How should the adhesive be stored on a construction site?
A: It should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. The containers should be kept tightly closed.
