MAY EMIT FORMALDEHYDE WHICH CAN CAUSE CANCER. EU Risk Phrases: International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Group 3 is defined as: Group 3: The agent (mixture or exposure circumstance) is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans. This category is used most commonly for agents, mixtures and exposure circumstances for which the evidence of carcinogenicity is inadequate in humans and inadequate or limited in experimental animals. Exceptionally, agents (mixtures) for which the evidence of carcinogenicity is inadequate in humans but sufficient in experimental animals may be placed in this category when there is strong evidence that the mechanism of carcinogenicity in experimental animals does not operate in humans. Agents, mixtures and exposure circumstances that do not fall into any other group are also placed in this category.

Potential health effects

Although there are no test data, there are no reported cases of any health problems from exposure to this product. As a normal precaution, excessive dusting or inhalation of fines should be avoided. Particle respirators should be worn if there is excessive dusting when handling the material. Thorough exhausting of fumes from hot material should be achieved to mitigate formaldehyde concentrations outside of OSHA limits which are governed by 29 CFR 1910.1048. If adequate ventilation cannot be achieved, organic vapor respirators with particulate prefilters should be utilized. See Section 8.2 for information on personal protective equipment (PPE).
