Other hazards

Sanding, grinding, or other machining of molded parts made from BMC and SMC may create the potential for combustible dust-air mixtures. Follow safe work practices and prevent dust accumulations to minimize explosion hazards Carbon Black (CAS 1333-86-4) Carbon black, as a colorant, is a minor component of some BMC and SMC products. It is in a paste form, and therefore does not pose a risk from inhalation. EN (English US) Page 1 Styrene (CAS 100-42-5) A recently published update to an extensive, 55,000- composite worker study concluded there is no evidence that styrene exposure increased their risk of cancer. In addition, a published study determined that the mechanism for causing cancer in styrene exposed mice is not relevant to humans.
