BACKGROUNDProduct image • Product description • Contact information

Description: Monokote® MK-6®/HY® and MK-6s are single component, spray applied, mill-mixed fire resistive (fireproof) plasters. MK-6/HY and MK-6s have approval for use on structural steel members and fluted decking to provide up to four hours of fire protection, and on flat plate cellular decking for up to three hours with Spatterkote® SK-3. Note: Monokote MK-6/HY and MK-6s afford the same level of the fire protection at identical protection thicknesses. By simply specifying “Monokote MK-6,” the fireproofing subcontractor can select the product that will provide the most efficient fire protection for the specific project conditions.

2.3 SUSTAINABLE COMPOSITION OF PRODUCT

2.3.1 Composition

List the primary materials in a representative sample of the reported product. (List actual material - not trade name)

Gypsum, Polystyrene (some post-industrial recycled), and recycled newspaper.

2.3.2 Toxicity

Does the product contain any California Proposition 65 chemicals?	Yes No
Is the MSDS and/or a list of toxics available on company website?	Yes No

Toxicity Manufacturer Comments

The California Proposition 65 list contains many naturally occurring materials such as minerals including gypsum which are commonly found in construction products. Since levels of exposure set by the State of California under Proposition 65 are extremely low, often significantly below background or ambient concentrations, many manufacturers (including us) have taken a conservative approach to the law and have applied warning labels to their products for California.

Are any hazardous chemicals created, used, or released during the manufacture of the product which must be reported under the State Right to Know Act (SARA), Section 313 via the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI)? (The absence of hazardous chemicals or air pollutants in manufacture is laudable. However the presence of such hazards is not a simple indicator of environmental impact. Which listed hazards are present, how they are handled, the magnitude of emissions, and the extent and effectiveness of efforts to minimize creation, use, and releases of such hazards, are all important in assessing environmental responsibility. While it can be problematic to try to compare the performance of different companies, a record of TRI releases by company found on the EPA website allows review of a single company over time. http://www.epa.gov/enviro/html/tris/tris_query.html)								Yes No
