Other hazards which do not result in classification

In use, may form flammable/explosive vapour-air mixture.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.Slightly irritating to respiratory system.
