SECTION 2: Hazards identification

2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture

Emergency Telephone Number: 888-661-9844 Combustible dust/respiratory hazard.

Hazard statements

Category 2B serious eye damage/eye irritant. Category 2 skin corrosive/irritant. Category 3 specific target organ toxicant - repeated exposure - respiratory. Category 1B carcinogen. Category 1 respiratory sensitizer. Category 3 specific target organ toxicant - single exposure - respiratory. May cause coughing, sneezing and/or respiratory irritation if inhaled. May cause skin dryness and irritation. Ingesting large amounts may be harmful. May create a flash fire or explosion hazard if dust of certain particle size is suspended in the air at a sufficient concentration in a confined space and exposed to an ignition source.

Precautionary statements

May be mechanical eye irritant. Rinse eyes with water for several minutes. Avoid breathing dust. Excessive inhalation may affect nose, throat and lungs. Feed dust may burn if suspended in air and may create a flash fire/ explosion hazard. Avoid ignition sources. Emergency Overview: May be mechanical eye irritant. Excessive inhalation of feed dusts may affect nose, throat and lungs. May form combustible dust concentration in the air. Explosion Hazard: Feed is generally considered not hazardous, but dust generated through downstream activities that may reduce its particle size (eg, shipping, handling, transfer to bins, etc) may create a hazardous condition. If exposed to an ignition source, feed dust may burn. Airborne dust in sufficient concentrations when exposed to an ignition source may flash or, in a confined situation, may fuel an explosion.
