Appearance: slightly gray solid. Warning! Dust may cause mechanical eye irritation. Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause skin irritation. Contains trace amounts of quartz which may lead to fibrotic lung disease, silicosis or cancer. Target Organs: Lungs. https://fscimage.fishersci.com/msds/00788.htm
These are just things to keep in mind for both operator and consumer safety. We’re ALL familiar with using dangerous processes in order to have gotten to this point.
Its a dust issue. Celite dust has a higher health concern aspect than silica gel, clay, and alumina. But that said, these are things we can combat with proper SOP @Killa12345
Thanks killa
It’s been an inspiration dealing with this bs
I’ll let you handle all safety protocols now for GLG. And I’ll shut my mouth.
Do whatever you wanna do and however you’re fan base wants to go directionally
I won’t get into your way with boring safety issues

Aloha bradda
Apparently my intentions of health concerns and overall industry’s success and safety and longevity are way out of whack.
This is disappointing.
So basically wear dust masks, good ventilation after handling powders and good filter and u shouldnt have to worry? I just ordered a bunch and have always handled the powders with care, just curious if theres something extra to watch out for in celite. Thanks for explaining
Lol @anon86230761 that was a fail… u probably went back and realized u actually never said why it was bad. Or better yet, u havent figured out why it was worse and finding out its just a dust issue, made u say bye bye?
Aloha
PPE for sure, but the key issue is that the celite dust has greater potential for crystalline silica content than other media so you want to be extra careful and wash after.
For folks fear mongering about CRC being dangerous…the claims they are making would only be realistic if someone had enough crystalline silica in the product to somehow be inhaled.
Which was already discussed WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY up above and on three other threads. @Thetetraguy
But ya, go build a negative pressure booth, wear a full respiration helmet or respirator, be gmp conpliant and make sure it’s not in your end product too.
Or, do we just save you a whole lot of time money and problems?
No need for say thank you just aloha someone else one day
I taught special ed and worked with autistic kids for a year of my life and that was way easier than getting this message out there to Kila and thetetra
Guys it’s all love and GLG
Not a conspiracy
Don’t touch the hot stove
And @Killa12345 I do need a blunt now lol hahahhaah
@Photon_noir has the expert vocabulary for describing it, but from what I am reading “opal” terminology comes from the development process before mining it…not that it is crushed opal stone.
My read is the same process that makes opal stone also occurs with DE like ancient organisms. So opaline sand would be the amorphous media where as crushed opaline rock would be be a crystalline form.
That crystalline form is the one attached to scary SDS’s where as the amorphous form is what is considered GTG for cannabis processing due to differencein crystalline silica content.
