Other hazards which do not result in classification

Risk of explosion if heated under confinement. Even with proper grounding and bonding, this material can still accumulate an electrostatic charge. If sufficient charge is allowed to accumulate, electrostatic discharge and ignition of flammable air- vapour mixtures can occur. The classification of this material is based on OSHA HCS 2012 criteria.
