2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture

Irritant Non- Hazardous HMIS Physical State Solid HEALTH 1 Color Gray to Brown FLAMMABILITY 1 Odor None PHYSICAL HAZARD (REACTIVE) 0 PERSONAL PROTECTION See Section 8 Dust from working this product, decomposition emissions and other decomposition products are addressed by this document. Wood, colorant, stabilizers, and processing aids are encapsulated in a polymer matrix yielding the product ill-suited for dust formation. Hazardous emissions such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water vapor, methane, and other hydrocarbons, and hydrocarbon oxidation products may be produced by burning the product under ambient conditions. Open burning is prohibited in most jurisdictions. The product does not release significant amounts of hazardous chemicals under normal conditions. GHS07

Signal word

This manufactured product is classified as an “Article” as defined under OSHA 1910.1200(c) and is therefore exempt from the SDS requirement. Emergency Overview Irritant Dust can be generated and become airborne during mechanical processing by means of sawing, sanding, milling, or similar actions. Processing that produces dust should be conducted in well ventilated areas. Exposure to certain wood dusts can produce irritation in the eyes, nose, and respiratory tract. Repeated exposures can produce or worsen allergic skin and respiratory reactions including asthma and rhinitis. Hazardous decomposition products may be emitted under conditions of sub-stoichiometric or ambient air combustion. Decomposition products may become an irritant to nasal passages, lungs and throat.

Precautionary statements

Use gloves, sleeves, eye protection, and dust mask as appropriate to prevent skin, eye, and respiratory irritation from mechanical and dust hazards when working the article. Dispose of scrap or unused material in accordance with local, state, and national regulations.
