SECTION 2: Hazards identification

OSHA 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 physico-chemical form and/or bioavailability of the individual components in the thermoplastic resin. Where GHS classifications are shown below, these are based on the individual components in the thermoplastic resin matrix. Under the typical use conditions for the resin, these hazardous components are unlikely to contribute to workplace exposure. Please read the entire safety data sheet and/or consult an EHS professional for a complete understanding.

Principle Routes of Exposure

mechanistic information and metabolism studies are pertinent to determining the relevance of an effect in humans(GHS section 1.3.2.4.9.4). Where appropriate, GHS classification can be specified as route-dependent. The size distribution of the pellets containing the Antimony Trioxide eliminates the carcinogenicity hazard potential from Antimony Trioxide. This is the case because carcinogenicity of Antimony Trioxide has only been observed in animal studies under conditions that can lead to pulmonary overload.
