SECTION 2: Hazards identification

This material is a non-hazardous. Emergency overview Keep away from contact with oxidizing materials. Dust may form an explosive mixture with air. Use exhaust ventilation when cutting, sawing or grinding in enclosed area. Dust may cause irritation to eyes, skin and upper respiratory tract. When cutting, sanding , or grinding avoid inhalation and wear safety glasses. Use puncture resistant gloves. Wash thoroughly after handling should irritation occur.

Therefore bamboo would be regulated as an organic dust in a category known as “Particulates Not Otherwise Regulated” (PNOR), or nuisance dust by OSHA. The ACGIH classifies dust or particulate in this category as “Particulates Not otherwise Specified”. Bamboo fibres in Eva-last Eva-tech boards are contained in a High Density-Polyethylene (HDPE) Matrix, consisting mainly of polyethylene plastic and bamboo fibre. HDPE is a thermoplastic materials. HDPE may be sourced as both virgin and recycled materials. Standard material consists of 40 % HDPE and 60 % bamboo fibres.
