Premium Birch Dieboard

OSHA HCS Classification

This product is not hazardous in the form that it is shipped. Sawing, sanding or machining wood or wood products can generate wood dust. Wood dust may ignite or form explosive mixture with air in the presence of an ignition source. Product dust may be irritating to eyes, skin or respiratory system. In well ventilated storage areas and work places utilizing these products, the concentration of formaldehyde in the air will not exceed the California Air Resource Board (CARB) 93120 Phase 2 for the general environment. Sealing plywood with paint, varnish of other surface finishes further reduces any emissions. Phenolic-based adhesives are specifically exempted in Section II.C.3 of HUD Rule 24 CFR 3280 (of the August 9, 1984 Federal Register), which states that HUD "has decided to exempt products that are formulated exclusively with phenol-formaldehyde resins and surface finishes from the testing and certification provision of the rule.” The amount of formaldehyde emitted from panels using phenolic-based adhesives is considered too small to be significant and has therefore been exempted. Target organs Eyes, skin and respiratory system
