Section 2
SECTION 2: Hazards identification
(EC) No 1272/2008 2.1.Classification of the substance Silicon Carbide (SiC) is not classified as hazardous substance according to CLP criteria
2.3 Other hazards
Silicon Carbide (SiC) does not fulfil PBT or vPvB criteria (REACH annex XIII). According to ACGIH SiC is insoluble or made poorly soluble particles not otherwise specified (PNOS). Careful! Silicon carbide (SiC) may contain trace amounts of SiC nanofibers (below 0.1 % w/w). Raw, dry SiC nanofibers may become airborne during handling and become respirable in some conditions. Silicon carbide fibres (with diameter < 3 μm, length > 5 μm and aspect ratio ≥ 3:1) are classified as Carc. 1B(H350i) in the CLP harmonised classification and the annex VI of REACH since the last updated (ATP15) – implementation 01/03/2022. IARC and ACGIH list SiC whiskers/fibers as potential carcinogens, based on experimental animal data. Any potential carcinogenicity of SiC fibers is limited to chronic overexposure of dry, respirable dust. No data exists for humans. ACM recommends limiting dust’s inhalation during handling and storage (see sections 7 and 8 for more advices).
2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture
Silicon Carbide (SiC) is not classified as hazardous substance according to CLP criteria (Regulation EC No 1272/2008).
