The ECA-infiltrated PEI part was compared with silica sand parts printed using the furan no-bake binder and infiltrated with ECA by the same method. The ECA-infiltrated furan sand part demonstrated an insignificant increase in flexural strength to 3.70 ± 0.24 MPa from 3.60 ± 0.45 MPa (Fig. 2c). The strength of the ECA-infiltrated PEI part ...

Activities such as abrasive blasting with silica sand, sawing brick or concrete, sanding or drilling into concrete walls, grinding mortar, manufacturing brick, concrete blocks, stone countertops, or ceramic products, and cutting or crushing stone can result in worker exposures to respirable crystalline silica dust.

Silica is the second most common mineral in the earth™s crust and is a major component of sand, rock and mineral ores. Overexposure to dust that contains microscopic particles of crystalline silica can cause scar tissue to form in the lungs, which reduces the lungs™ ability to extract oxygen from the air we breathe. Typical sand found at the
