Hazard statements

N/A Precautionary tips: N/A Supplementary information to be on the label: N/A Contact with the eyes: Both as solid and as powder, the product may produce irritation or mechani- cal damage to the cornea. High temperatures may generate vapours to a concentration susceptible of causing eye irritation. Effects may include discomfort and redness. Contact with the skin: Continued contact does not cause skin irritation. In normal processing con- ditions, the material is subjected to high temperatures in order to melt it; the contact with molten material may cause burns. Absorption through the skin: There are no expected harmful effects by absorption through the skin. Inhalation: It is not probable that a single exposure to the powder will cause harmful effects. Vapours generated during thermal processing may cause respiratory irritation. Ingestion: Very low oral toxicity. No harmful effects are expected from ingestion of small amounts. It can cause an obstruction in case of ingestion. Unusual fire and explosion hazards: Mechanical handling of the material, as in pneumatic transport, may generate combustible dust. Dust accumulation must be avoided in order to minimize explosion risks. This product emits dense smoke when burned in lack of oxygen.
