2.3 Other hazards

The fluoropolymer contained in this product in its raw form is nearly inert. Processing above 250 C, may produce hydrogen fluoride and other toxic fluorinated compounds. Inhalation of these compounds may result in serious lung irritation. Inhalation of vapors and fumes may cause flu-like symptoms (e.g., chills, fever, cough) that may not occur until several hours after exposure and typically pass within about 36 to 48 hours. Contact with molten material will cause burns. Excessive airborne concentrations of the powder may cause reduced visibility. The powder may form combustible dust concentrations in air. CAUTION - Sufficient ventilation is required when first opening or stirring of product. Off-gassing may occur and be present within the storage container (bag, drum, gaylord, or any other product packaging).
