OASIS COMPOSITE DECKING

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency Overview Solid, various shapes. Various colors. Odorless. Material will burn if ignited. Dust clouds generated during processing may be explosive. Dust from processing can cause mechanical irritation of eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Contact with molten material can cause thermal burns.

Potential health effects

The following health effects are not likely to occur unless sawing or cutting generates dust or unless material is heated to melting. Eyes Can cause mechanical irritation. Skin Can cause mechanical irritation and dermatitis. Contact with molten material can cause thermal burns. Inhalation Can cause irritation and sensitization. of Ingredients Components are bound in a polymeric matrix and will not be released under general conditions of use. Sawing or cutting operations that generate large quantities of fine dusts or combustion of the material may result in exposure to dusts of these components. Wood dust and fumes Can cause mechanical irritation of eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Skin contact: Can cause dermatitis and sensitization. Chronic overexposures: Can cause respiratory sensitization, asthma and nasal cancer. Sensitization and asthma are believed to be species specific. IARC/NTP: Listed as "known to be a human carcinogen" by the NTP. Listed as carcinogenic to humans by IARC (Group 1)*. Talc (asbestos-free and <1% silica) Can cause irritation of eyes, skin and upper respiratory tract. Chronic overexposures: Can cause lung damage. *IARC Classification Definitions Group 1: The agent is carcinogenic to humans. There is sufficient evidence that a causal relationship existed between exposure to the agent and human cancer.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

to the Product Asthma, chronic lung disease, and skin rashes.
