SECTION 2: Hazards identification
29 CFR 1910.1200) This mixture has not been evaluated as a whole for health effects. Exposure effects listed are based on the existing health data for individual components which comprise the mixture. i. The additives in this product are bound in a thermoplastic resin matrix. In accordance with GHS for the classification of the product, the hazard potential may be assessed with respect to the physic-chemical form and/or bioavailability of the individual components in the thermoplastic resin. ii. Where GHS classifications are shown below, these are based on individual components in the thermo resin matrix. Under typical use conditions for the product, these hazards components are unlikely to contribute to the workplace exposure. Please read the entire safety data sheet and/or consult an EHS professional for a complete understanding. Emergency Overview

2.3 Other hazards
Combustible Dust: If small particles are generated during further processing, handling, or by other means, combustible dust concentrations in air may form. Fine dust clouds may form explosive mixtures with air. Handling and/or processing of this material may generate a dust which can cause mechanical irritation of the eyes, skin, nose and throat. In the event that combustible dust is generated, the hazard is posed only by the size of the particle not its chemical content because all monomers, additives and pigments are totally encapsulated within the resin and cannot be released in pure form.
Additional information
Can burn in a fire creating dense, toxic smoke. Molten plastic can cause severe thermal burns. Fumes produced during melt processing may cause eye, skin and respiratory tract irrititation.
Disposal
Dispose of contents in accordance with local, regional, national and international regulations.
