Potential health effects

Preexisting pulmonary and dermatological disorders may be aggravated by exposure to (Acute and Chronic): hazardous components. Repeated or prolonged inhalation of graphite or carbon dusts may cause pulmonary fibrosis, emphysema, and pneumoconiosis. The severity of these effects is greatly influenced by the presence of other harmful mineral dusts, most notably crystalline silica. This product contains encapsulated metal powder containing copper and zinc and encapsulated silica. No exposure to free metal powder or free, respirable silica is anticipated during normal use of this product. Inhalation of free, respirable silica may cause silicosis or other serious delayed lung injury. Metal powder and/or silica may be released by grinding or machining of cured compound or coated materials. Repeated or prolonged exposure to metal dust may cause metal-fume fever, metallic taste, and discoloration of the skin and hair. Use NIOSH-approved dust/mist respirator when grinding or machining coated items. Inhalation: May cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Inhalation of dusts at levels above recommended exposure limits may cause a metallic or sweet taste. Skin Contact: May cause mild skin irritation. Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause irritation and/or dermatitis. Eye Contact: Dust may cause mechanical irritation. May cause tearing, redness, and swelling. May result in corneal injury. Ingestion: No hazard expected in normal industrial use. May be harmful if swallowed. May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
