Other hazards which do not result in classification

This material is a static accumulator. 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. Vapours are heavier than air. Vapours may travel across the ground and reach remote ignition sources causing a flashback fire danger.
