Hazard statements
H317: May cause an allergic skin reaction. H318: Causes serious eye damage. H341: Suspected of causing genetic defects. H373: May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure. H: May form combustible dust concentrations in air.
2.3 Other hazards
Organic dust can form highly explosive mixtures when finely suspended in air. Avoid dust-laden atmospheres; minimize dust generation and accumulation. Eliminate sources of ignition, e.g. open flames, sparks or electrostatic discharge, or use explosion proof motors where needed.
Prevention
P201: Obtain special instructions before use. Page 2 of 8 P202: Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. P260: Do not breathe dust. P264: Wash hands and forearms thoroughly after handling. P272: Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P281: Use personal protective equipment as required.
Response
P302+P352 IF ON SKIN Wash with plenty of water and soap P305+P351+P338 IF IN EYES Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. P308+P313 IF exposed or concerned Get medical advice/ attention P314: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell. P321 Specific treatment Wash affected areas immediately with plenty of water and soap P333+P313 If skin irritation or rash occurs Get medical advice/attention P337+P313 If eye irritation persists Get medical advice/attention P362+P364: Take off contaminated clothing and wash it before reuse.
Storage
P405: Store locked up.
Disposal
P501: Dispose of contents and empty containers in accordance with local, regional and federal regulations. EMERGENCY OVERVIEW IMMEDIATE CONCERNS: HAZARD NOT OTHERWISE CLASSIFIED (HNOC) OR NOT COVERED BY GHS: Organic dust can form highly explosive mixtures when finely suspended in air. Avoid dust-laden atmospheres; minimize dust generation and accumulation. Routine housekeeping should be instituted to ensure that dust does not accumulate on surfaces. Dry powders can build up static electric charges when subjected to the friction of transfer and mixing operations. Implement adequate precautions, such as electrical grounding and bonding, or inert atmospheres. Eliminate all sources of ignition, e.g. open flames, sparks or electrostatic discharge, or use explosion proof motors where needed. Ensure that all areas where explosions could occur are designated appropriately. For recommendations to prevent such explosions and associated damage, consult applicable guidelines such as NFPA 68, "Standard on Explosion Protection by Deflagration Venting", NFPA 69, "Standard on Explosion Prevention Systems" and/ or NFPA 654, "Standard for the Prevention of Fire and Dust Explosions from the Manufacturing, Processing and Handling of Combustible Particulate Solids". For more information refer to Section #7 of this SDS.
Potential health effects
EYES: Contact may cause eye irritation or damage. SKIN: Contact may cause allergic skin reactions. SKIN ABSORPTION: Skin absorption is unlikely to occur due to the physical form of the product. INGESTION: May be harmful if swallowed. INHALATION: Dust particles may cause respiratory tract irritation, coughing and wheezing. REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS: Not known or believed to be a reproductive toxin.
Teratogenic Effects
Not known or believed to be teratogenic CARCINOGENICITY: No component of this product present at levels greater than or equal to 0.1% is identified as a carcinogen or potential carcinogen. MUTAGENICITY: Phenol is a mutagen, which tested positive in in-vivo and in-vitro assays.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
Asthma, Respiratory disorders, Skin Allergies, and Eczema
Principle Routes of Exposure
Inhalation, ingestion and through skin contact TARGET ORGAN STATEMENT Possibility of organ or organ system damage from prolonged exposure; target organs heart, kidney, liver, skin, central nervous system (CNS), respiratory system. See Section 11 for details. IRRITANCY: Dust particles have the potential to cause mechanical irritation of skin and eyes. SENSITIZATION: Contact may cause allergic skin reactions. Page 3 of 8 COMMENTS: Refer to Section 11 for detailed information on health effects and symptoms. AS SOLD the product is a plastic molding compound: A plastic resin (phenol-formaldehyde polymer) intimately mixed and reacted with one or more of a variety of organic and/or inorganic filling materials. When fully “cured” or reacted, the plastic resin is insoluble, infusible and binds the well- dispersed, embedded filling materials. However, "As Sold" the plastic resin is not completely "cured" or reacted and contains some unreacted ingredients dissolved within it. So dissolved, these chemicals are
