EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Section 3. Hazards Identification
Carbon fibers or dust are electrically conductive and may create electrical short-circuits which
could result in damage to and malfunction of electrical equipment and/or personal injury.
EYES: May cause eye irritation when dust is generated or through direct contact.
INHALATION: Mechanical irritation of respiratory tract may occur if dust is inhaled.
SKIN: Prolonged contact may cause mild irritation and itching.
INGESTION:
Ingestion may cause temporary irritation of the digestive tract. If symptoms
develop consult a physician.
