SECTION 2: Hazards identification
This material is not considered to be hazardous according to regulatory guidelines (see (M)SDS Section 15). POTENTIAL PHYSICAL / CHEMICAL EFFECTS High dust levels may create potential for explosion. Spilled pellets present a slipping hazard on hard surfaces. Contact with hot material can cause thermal burns which may result in permanent damage. Material can accumulate static charges which may cause an incendiary electrical discharge.
Potential health effects
Material is essentially non-toxic. However, if dust is generated, it could scratch the eyes and cause minor irritation to the respiratory tract. When heated, the vapors/fumes given off may cause respiratory tract irritation. NFPA Hazard ID: Health: 1 Flammability: 1 Reactivity: 0 HMIS Hazard ID: Health: 1 Flammability: 1 Reactivity: 0
