Section 2
SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Emergency Overview Color: Blue Physical State: Board Odor: Odorless Hazards of product: Toxic fumes may be released in fire situations. ® ™ TRADEMARK OF THE DOW CHEMICAL COMPANY ("DOW") OR AN AFFILIATED COMPANY OF DOW
Potential health effects
Eye Contact: Solid or dust may cause irritation due to mechanical action. Fumes/vapor released during thermal operations such as hot-wire cutting may cause eye irritation. Skin Contact: Essentially nonirritating to skin. Mechanical injury only. Skin Absorption: Skin absorption is unlikely due to physical properties. Inhalation: Dust may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract (nose and throat). Fumes/vapors released during thermal operations such as hot wire cutting may cause respiratory irritation. Concentrations of the blowing agents anticipated incidental to proper handling are expected to be well below those which cause acute inhalation effects and below exposure guidelines. Ingestion: Swallowing is unlikely because of the physical state. Very low toxicity if swallowed. Harmful effects not anticipated from swallowing small amounts.
Aspiration hazard
Based on physical properties, not likely to be an aspiration hazard Birth Defects/Developmental Effects: Contains component(s) which did not cause birth defects in animals; other fetal effects occurred only at doses toxic to the mother. The component(s) is/are: 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane. Testing has indicated that normal handling and cutting are unlikely to result in exposure levels sufficient to cause the listed effects. Contains an additional component(s) that is/are encapsulated in the product and are not expected to be released under normal processing conditions or foreseeable emergency.
