Having a basic knowledge and backround in chemical MFG. I always look at msds sheets. you still dont get the whole picture but it helps to understand the products composition at its core. and the safety hazards of course.
Heres a few snippets from The 255 Multimax MSDS:

II. HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS

CHEMICAL NAMES

(SPECIFY)
Portland Cement 65997-15-1 48-55% 10 mg/m³ 50 mppcf N/A
Silica Sand 14808-60-7 14-30 % N/A .1 mg/m³ N/A
Blast furnace slag 65996-69-
2 0-25% N/A N/A N/A
Fly Ash 68131-74-8 0-17% N/A N/A N/A
N/A = Not applicable or available
HERE: You can see it is stated as insoluble in water? there is no data for Vapor density, melting point,vapor pressure???
------------------------------------------------
IX. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
----------------------------
Vapor density (air=1): N/A Melting point or range,
F: N/A
Specific gravity: 1.28
Boiling point or range,
F: N/A
Solubility in water: insoluble
Evaporation rate (butyl acetate = 1): N/A
Vapor pressure, mmHg at 20
C: N/A
Appearance and odor: grey or white odorless powder
HOW TO DETECT THIS SUBSTANCE (warning properti
es of substance as a gas, vapor, dust, or
mist):
---------------------------------------------------- X. REAC
TIVITY
DATA -----------------------------------------------
Stability: x Stable Uns
table
Conditions to avoid: Keep dry until used.
Incompatibility (materials to avoid): N/A
I like that last line ....... incompatibility materials to avoid N/A ???!
Now if you guys take a look at 254 MSDS youll see that other than the haz. ingredients being 2 components, the physical properties data is the same? again no vapor density, vapor pressure, melting point info?.
trade secrets omitted? not required to fill in those categories? it leaves me to think its the added ingredients that make 254 the only mortar for steam and we will never get an honest answer..........???? c'mon?
FYI John, this is where you look when you need to create a hazmat bill of lading or a haz materials diamond when shipping any all chemicals as required by the DOT, OSHA, EPA, federal motor carrier guidleines etc. Its worse than tiling a kerdi shower the shipping buisness. !!!!!!!. LOL!!! msds for gel heat packs??? LOL
