EYE CONTACT: Remove contact lenses. Flush eyes, including under eyelids, with large
amounts of water. If irritation persists, get medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT: Wash affected areas with soap and water. If rash or persistent irritation or
dermatitis occurs, get medical attention. INGESTION: Not applicable under normal conditions of
use
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
• Refer to Section 11 - Toxicological Information.
SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLAME SPREAD: Class III - Under 200- ASTM84
FLASH POINT: Not applicable
EXPLOSIVE LIMITS: Sawing, sanding or machining wood products can produce wood dust as a
by-product. Wood dust is a strong to severe explosion hazard if a dust "cloud" contacts an ignition
source. 212°F (100°C) has been suggested as the upper temperature limit for continuous
exposure for wood without risk of ignition (wood dust may require a still lower temperature). An
airborne concentration of 40 grams of dust per cubic meter of air is often used as the lowest
explosion limit (LEL) for wood dust.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Thermal-oxidative degradation, or burning, of wood
can produce irritating and potentially toxic fumes and gases including carbon monoxide,
aldehydes and organic acids.
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: 400°-500° F (204°-260°C)
FIRE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water. Partially burned dust is especially hazardous if dispersed
into the air. Remove burned or wet dust to open area after fire is extinguished.
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Not applicable for product in purchased form. Sweep or vacuum dust for recovery or disposal..
Wood dust clean-up and disposal activities should be accomplished in a manner to minimize
creation of airborne dust.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Provide adequate ventilation to reduce the possible build up of formaldehyde gas, particularly
when high temperatures occur. UF bonded wood products should not be stored where exposure
