SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Main Hazards This product does not pose a hazard provided appropriate industrial hygiene measures are taken. Particles of polyester fibres may cause mechanical irritation of the skin and eyes. Symptoms related to The potential association between dust or fibre in flocking operations and Inhaltion interstitial lung disease is being studied as a result of a study carried out by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) in the USA, finding that some flocking operations generate respirable fibres and there is a higher incidence of interstitial lung disease among workers in those operations. It has at the moment not been established/confirmed whether during flocking and additional operations (curing, brushing and finishing processes) due to mechanical action respirable fibres may be generated.
Other physicochemical hazards
This product is not classified as “dangerous substance” in compliance with the EU regulations.
