TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
The substance/m ixture does not contain com ponents considered to have endocrine disrupting properties accordin g to REACH Article 57(f) or Com m ission Delegated regulation (EU) 2017/2100 or Com m ission Regulation 2018/605 at levels of 0.1% higher. Vapours are heavier than air. m ay travel across ground the and reach rem ote ignition sources causing a flashback fire danger. Vapours m ay ignite and explode. This m aterial is a static accum ulator. Even with proper grounding and bonding, this m aterial can still accum ulate an electrostatic charge. If suficient charge is allowed to accum ulate, electrostatic discharge and ignition of flam m able air - vapour m ixtures can occur.
