2.3 Other hazards
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. Will float and can be reignited on surface water. Vapours are heavier than air. Vapours may travel across the ground and reach remote ignition sources causing a flashback fire danger. May form flammable/explosive vapour-air mixture. Highly reactive. May form explosive peroxides. Slightly irritating to respiratory system. Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. Slightly irritating to the skin. Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking. Slightly irritating to the eye.
