Acoustical Panels

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: May release harmful smoke or fumes if involved in fire. Sanding or cutting finished panel may release harmful dusts; see Section 3. ACUTE EFFECTS - EYE CONTACT: Solid article. Not an expected route of exposure. ACUTE EFFECTS - SKIN CONTACT: Not expected to present a hazard in normal industrial use. ACUTE EFFECTS - INHALATION: Not expected to present a hazard in normal use. Sanding and/or extensive cutting of panel may release irritating dust which may be harmful with repeated and prolonged overexposure. ACUTE EFFECTS - INGESTION: Solid. Not an expected route of exposure. CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE EFFECTS: None expected under normal conditions of installation and use. *Preexisting pulmonary and dermatological disorders may be aggravated by exposure to hazardous components. It should be noted that sanding and/or extensive cutting of finished panel may lead to release of dust which may include carbon black, and/or fibrous glass. The potential for injury from inhalation of these dusts is greatly influenced by the size and form of the material generated; the exact particulate shape and size distributions under these conditions is not known. CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE EFFECTS (continued) : *Formaldehyde has been listed as a Group 1 carcinogen by IARC. NTP and OSHA have classified formaldehyde as a probable human carcinogen. May cause allergic respiratory response in sensitized persons. Normal conditions of use are not expected to result in harmful levels of formaldehyde release.
