Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards

•Organic components decompose at 200-455°C (392- 851°F).

•Material may explosively combust when finely suspended in air.

•Thermal decomposition of organic components may result in release of oxides of carbon and nitrogen.

Health Hazard Data

Routes of Entry: Inhalation, Ingestion, Eyes, Skin.

1Styrene-Butyl Acrylate Copolymer

Subcutaneous implantation of polymeric styrene powder in rats has induced tumors at the site of implantation.

2Carbon Black

Group 2B “Possible Carcinogen”; IARC

Overexposure to carbon black is associated with causing irritation, conjunctivitis, and corneal hypoplasia of the eyes; minor irritation and eczema of the skin; and irritation and bronchitis. Long-term inhalation exposure may be associated with causing lung cancer.

3Paraffin Wax

Group 3 “Not Classifiable”; IARC

May cause eye, skin, respiratory, and digestive tract irritation. Paraffin is an equivocal tumorgenic agent by RTECS criteria.

4Amorphous Fumed Silica

Group 3 “Not Classifiable”; IARC

Overexposure to amorphous silica has been associated with causing irritation of the lungs and pneumoconiosis. Long-term inhalation exposure may be associated with producing tumors in laboratory animals.
