IS620i Laminate

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

CANADIAN WHMIS FOR THE PREPARATION: Not a Controlled Product. EU PREPARATION CLASSIFICATION (1999/45/EC): Dangerous for the Environment (N), R50/53 EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Very toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Dust generated during routine handling, machining, grinding, or sawing of this material may cause mechanical irritation of the skin, eyes and upper respiratory tract. Copper in powder form is capable of creating a dust explosion.

Potential health effects

No information is available on this specific mixture as a whole. The information presented is based on each of the components present at concentrations greater than 1% (0.1 % for hazardous substances other than those classified as Xn, Xi, or as category 3 carcinogens, mutagens, or toxic for reproduction). Machining, grinding or sawing this material may generate harmful dusts. Continuous filament glass fiber is not considered fibrogenic; however, it is woven from E-Glass fibers which are listed by IARC as “special purpose glass fibers” and designated as “possibility of carcinogenic in humans.” Inhalation of copper fumes, while not expected to occur under typical conditions of use, may cause metal fume fever. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause dermatitis. See Section 8 for exposure controls.
