### 5 Reactivity Data Stability: ( ) Unstable (x) Stable
C onditions to Avoid: N/A Incompatibility (Material to avoid): Avoid contact with oxidizing agents. A void open flames. This product may ignite at temperatures in excess of 400°F (204°C).

H azardous decomposition or by-products: Thermal decomposition products include carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, aliphatic aldehydes, rosin acids, terpenes, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Hazardous Polymerization: ( ) May occur (x) Will Not Occur Conditions to Avoid: N/A


### 6 Precautions for Safe Handling and Use Steps to be Taken in Case of Material is Released or Spilled: Not applicable for product in purchased form. W ood dust generated from sawing, sanding, drilling, or routing of this product may be vacuumed or shoveled for recover y or disposal. A void dusty condi

tions and provide good ventilation. Use NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator and goggles where ventilation is not possible.

W aste Disposal Method: If disposed of or discarded in its purchased form, incineration is preferable. Dr y land disposal is acceptable in most states. It is, however, the user’s responsibility to determine at the time of disposal whether your product meets RCRA criteria for hazardous waste. Follow applicable federal, state ,and local regulations. Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storage: No special handling precaution is required. Keep in a cool dry place away from open flames. This product may release small quantities of gaseous formaldehyde in amounts below the health hazard level (0.10 ppm) determined by OSHA. Store in well venti

lated, cool, dry place away from open flame.

Other Precautions A NIOSH/OSHA approved full-face respirator or half-face respirator with chemical goggles must be worn when the formaldehyde and/or wood dust exposure limits are exceeded. It is recommended that a full-face respirator and half-face respirator have a combination formaldehyde and dust cartridge.


### 7 Health Hazard Data Primary Health Hazard: The primary health hazard posed by this product is thought to be due to exposure to wood dust or free gaseous formaldehyde. Primary Rout(s) of Exposure: ( x ) Ingestion: (x) Skin: Dust (x) Inhalation: Dust Acute Health Hazards—Signs and Symptoms of Exposure/Emergency and First Aid Procedures: I NGESTION: Not applicable with normal use. EYE CONTACT: Wood dust may cause mechanical irritation. Treat dust in eye as foreign object. Flush with water to remove dust p article. Get medical help if irritation persists. SKIN CONTACT: Wood dust may cause allergic contact dermatitis i n sensitized individuals. Wood dust may also mechanically irritate t he skin and cause erythema and hives.
SKIN ABSORPTION: Not known to occur with normal use. INHALATION: Wood dust may cause unpleasant deposit/obstruction in the nasal passages, resulting in dryness of nose, dry cough, and headaches. Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: W ood dust may aggravate preexisting respiratory conditions or allergies.

Chronic Health Hazards: The federal Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)recognizes phenolic panel products as low emitters of formaldehyde and has exempted them from Testing and Certification Requirements of the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard (24 CFR Part 3280).

W ood dust(s), depending on the species(for example iroko, cocobana), may cause dermatitis on prolonged, repetitive contact, and respirator y sensitization after prolonged exposure to elevated dust levels (for example Western Red Cedar). Wood dust has been alleged to cause nasal/paranasal sinus cancer (certain European hardwoods, oak, and beech). Carcinogenicity Listing: (x) National Toxically Program: Formaldehyde, Wood Dust (x) IARC Mongraphs: Formaldehyde, W ood Dust (x) OSHA Regulated: Formaldehyde


### 8 Contr ol Measur es Personal Protective Equipment:RESPIRATORY PROTECTION–Not applicable for product in purchased form. A NOISH/MSHA approved respirator is recommended when allowable exposure limits may be exceeded. PROTECTIVE GLOVES–Not required. However

, cloth, canvas or leather gloves are recommended to minimize mechanical irritation from handling product. EYE PROTECTION–Not applicable for product in purchased form. Goggles or safety glasses are recommended when machining this product. OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT–Not applicable for product in purchased form. Outer garments may be desirable in extremely dusty areas.WORK/HYGIENE PRACTICES–Follow good hygienic and housekeeping practices. Clean up areas where dust settles to avoid exces

sive accumulation of this combustible material. Minimize blowdown or other practices that generate high airborne dust concentrations.
