MSDS NA-MC101

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

This MSDS covers finished carbon parts and the base material from which a carbon part may be made. In the case of a finished part, no hazards are expected; however, small amounts of dust created in shipping, handling and use may exhibit the hazards of the base material as described below. Dust produced by cutting or machining the base material will exhibit the hazards described below. Short-term effects: Dust from this material may irritate skin and eyes, primarily through mechanical abrasion. Inhalation of dust may cause nose and throat irritation. Avoid creating and breathing airborne dust.

Potential chronic health

Repeated or prolonged exposure to elevated concentrations of airborne dust can irritate the respiratory system, especially as an aggravation to a pre-existing condition. Long-term inhalation of excessive amounts of dust may result in lung damage (pneumoconiosis). Avoid creating and breathing airborne dust. This product may contain natural graphite, which contains crystalline silica (quartz). See Section 11 for information about crystalline silica.
