2 Hazards Identification
THIS PRODUCT WHEN SOLD IS NOT CLASSIFIED AS A HAZAR DOUS CHEMICAL PER OSHA HCS-2012.
However, when subject to machining operations under normal condition of use, the release of dust may pose a
combustible dust risk if work is not performed under good industrial and safety practices.
WARNING!
May form combustible dust in the air.
– Prevent dust accumulations to minimize explosion hazard.
– Keep away from all ignition sources including heat, sparks and flame.

6 Accidental Release Measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: No special measures required.
Clean up methods and materials: Vacuum or sweep up material.
5 Fire-Fighting Measures
Suitable extinguishing media: Water, foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemical fire extinguishers.
Specific hazards: Formation of toxic gases will occur during thermal decomposition or in case
of fire. Hazardous combustion products include Carbon monoxide, Carbon
dioxide, Nitrogen oxides, Hydrogen cyanide and Hydrogen bromide.
Protective equipment: Wear fully protective suit with self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA)
with a face-piece operated in positive pressure mode. Reduce direct exposure
to smoke and fumes.
4 First-Aid Measures
Eye contact: If dust particles become lodged in eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water. If symptoms
persist, consult a physician.
Skin contact: No need for specific measures.
Ingestion: In case of persistent symptoms, consult a physician.
Inhalation: If affected by dust or vapors, remove individual to fresh air. If condition persists, obtain
medical attention.
Most important symptoms/effects: Upper respiratory system irritation.
Immediate medical attention and special treatment: No special requirements.
7 Handling and Storage
Handling: Machining operations which can produce dust should be properly fitted to a dust collection system.
Prevent formation of dust that could create explosive atmospheres.
Provide adequate general ventilation and local exhaust ventilation during machining and processing
operations to control airborne contaminant exposure.
Processing the product through heated equipment or tools could enhance the release of organic vapors.
Accumulation of static electricity charges may appear during machining operations or handling of the
material. Ensure all machining equipment are bonded and grounded to reduce static energy build-up.
Static electricity might give an unpleasant sensation but is not a possible source of ignition.
Storage: Protect from heat and open flames. This product is a combustible material and should be stored
according to the national or local Fire Code.
Trace levels of organic vapors may be released for a while after machining operations. Ensure good
mechanical ventilation for storage of large quantities of the processed product.
