2.3 Other hazards

Although the finished product does not meet GHS criteria for hazardous classification, certain hazards may arise during machining, cutting, drilling, grinding, sanding, or thermal exposure: • Machining may generate dust or particulates that can irritate the eyes, skin, or respiratory system. • Thermal decomposition at elevated temperatures may release small amounts of combustion gases (carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, phenolic/polyester degradation vapours). • Dust accumulation may present a combustion hazard if dispersed in air in high concentrations. • Inserts may become hot during machining or when exposed to elevated temperatures. • Handling large quantities may present manual-handling risks (non-chemical). These hazards relate solely to processing, not to the finished solid article.
