: It references the necessity for abrasives to comply with national safety regulations regarding free silica and heavy metal content. Abrasive Types : It categorizes materials into groups such as: : e.g., Staurolite, Garnet, Flint.
: It outlines that abrasives must be free from materials that could detrimental to the coating performance (e.g., oil, grease, or excessive salts). Safety and Health iso 11126-1 pdf
One of the primary reasons for the existence of this standard is the regulation of free silica. Historically, sand (silica sand) was the primary blasting media. However, the inhalation of free crystalline silica dust leads to silicosis, a serious lung disease. ISO 11126-1 sets requirements regarding the chemical composition of abrasives, ensuring that hazardous materials are clearly identified or restricted. It drives the industry towards safer, non-toxic alternatives like garnet, copper slag, or aluminum oxide. : It references the necessity for abrasives to
