Other hazards

Not Resulting in Classification 2.1 Thermal Hazards This product becomes hot during installation. Potential hazards include: • Burns to skin if touched immediately after shrinking. • Melting of adjacent plastics if excessive heat is applied. • Ignition of nearby flammable materials if exposed to open flame or extreme heat. • Shrinking with open flames can cause charring and localised melting. The product must be heated with controlled industrial heat guns only, not blowtorches. 2.2 Fume Hazards (from Overheating Only) Under correct use, the product does not release hazardous fumes. If overheated beyond decomposition temperature (>250°C), it may release: • Carbon monoxide • Carbon dioxide • Low levels of hydrocarbons • Light organic vapours • Irritating decomposition fumes Possible symptoms from exposure to overheated fumes: • Eye irritation • Throat irritation. • Coughing • Headache or discomfort Symptoms usually resolve upon removal to fresh air. 2.3 Mechanical Hazards When cutting, trimming, or shaping the tubing: • Small polymer fragments may be generated. • Particles may cause mechanical irritation if entering the eyes. • Dull cutting tools may slip and cause injury. Safety glasses are recommended during cutting. 2.4 Electrical Hazards (During Installation) The product itself is an insulator but may pose risk if: • Installed on energised equipment. • Trapped moisture is present on conductors. • Poorly installed tubing exposes conductive elements. Always isolate circuits before use.

Environmental hazards

Not classified as hazardous to the environment. Key points: • Non-biodegradable but environmentally inert • Not soluble in water • Not toxic to aquatic or terrestrial organisms • Does not release hazardous substances under normal conditions. • Does not bioaccumulate or leach chemicals
