2.3 Other hazards

COMBUSTIBLE DUSTS. If small particles are generated during processing, handling, or by any other means, combustible dust concentrations in air may form. Fine dust clouds may form explosive mixtures with air. Combustible dust hazard is posed only by particle size. All additive materials (monomers, additives and pigment) are totally encapsulated within the resin and cannot be released in pure form, and are not a component of the combustible dust hazard. MECHANICAL IRRITANT. Handling and/or processing of this material may generate a dust which can cause mechanical irritation of the eyes, skin, nose and throat. No ingredient(s) of unknown acute toxicity is/are intentionally used in this product.
