Precautionary statements
Products may emit hazardous thermal decomposition byproducts if overheated or burnt. Thermal degradation is not significant at temperatures achieved during proper installation, as directed by product installation guides. HMIS HAZARD CLASSIFICATIONS (US/CN/EU): HEALTH: 1 FLAMMABILITY: 1 REACTIVITY: 0 PROTECTION: See PPE section. NFPA HAZARD CLASSIFICATIONS (US/CN/EU): HEALTH: 1 FLAMMABILITY: 1 REACTIVITY: 0
Potential health effects
Proper installation of this product creates no known acute or chronic health hazards.
Acute Health Hazards
EYES: Contact with molten material may cause thermal burns. SKIN: This product is not expected to be a skin irritant. Contact with the molten material may cause thermal burns. Hydrogen fluoride fumes emitted during a fire can react with water to form hydrofluoric acid. Have calcium gluconate available for hydrofluoric acid exposure. INGESTION: Ingestion of this product is highly unlikely. There is insufficient information available on this material to predict the effects from ingestion. INHALATION: Thermal degradation and combustion byproducts may be toxic and should not be inhaled. (See Comments below and the Thermal Degradation and Combustion Byproducts Section for more specific information.)
Health hazards
None of the ingredients to which users may be exposed and which are present at equal to or greater than 0.1% of the product, are listed by OSHA, NTP, or IARC as suspected carcinogens.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
Overheating the product to charring or burning may produce vapors that may cause eye, skin, nose and throat irritation. Persons with pre-existing eye, skin, or respiratory disorders (e.g., asthma conditions) may be more susceptible to the effects of these vapors.
