III. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
-
Abrasive blasting, sanding or grinding of this product could generate nuisance dust.
-
Decomposition gases will be generated at temperatures greater than 450°F, which would be harmfol to health if inhaled.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE
-
INHALATION: Grinding dust may cause mechanical irritation to the respiratory tract.
-
SKIN: Essentially non-irritating to skin.
-
EYES: Grinding dust may cause mechanical irritation.
-
INGESTION: Not expected as a route of exposure.
IV. FIRST AID MEASURES
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
-
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. Consult a physician.
-
SKIN: No adverse effects anticipated.
-
