SECTION 3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

This material is not considered to be hazardous according to regulatory guidelines see Section 15.

Physical / Chemical Hazards –


High dust may create potential for explosion. Contact with hot material can cause thermal burns which
may result in permanent damage. Material can accumulate static charges which may cause an incendiary
electrical discharge.

Health Hazards –
Material is essentially non-toxic. However, if dust is generated, it may scratch the eyes and cause minor
irritation to the respiratory tract. When heated, the vapour/fumes given off may cause respiratory tract
irritation.

SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation –
In case of adverse exposure to vapors and/or aerosols formed at elevated temperatures, immediately remove
the affected victim from exposure.

Skin Contact –
For hot product, immediately immerse in or flush affected area with large amounts of cold water to dissipate
heat. Cover with clean cotton sheeting or gauze and get prompt medical attention.
