DESCRIPTION: Eucatile is manufactured from wet, mat formed, hot pressed eucalyptus fiber hardboard. Under heat and pressure the
natural wood resins flow and bond into a material with uniform physical properties. Eucatile is prefinished with moisture resistant
melamine coating and UV topcoat.
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Sawing, sanding or machining wood products can produce wood dust which can cause an explosion hazard.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
INHALATION: Wood dust may cause nasal dryness, irritation, coughing and sinusitis.
EYE CONTACT: Wood dust can cause mechanical irritation.
SKIN CONTACT species of wood dust may evoke allergic contact dermatitis in sensitized individuals. If an allergy pre-exists or
develops, it may be necessary to remove the sensitized worker from further exposure.
INGESTION: Not applicable under normal conditions of use.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If persistent irritation, severe coughing or breathing difficulty occurs, get medical attention.
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
RATING TEST: Measurements of the surface burning characteristics of a combustible material are determined by a “flame spread”
test. By observing flame front travel across a material surface, under controlled conditions, a flame spread rate can be established.
Comparisons are then made with rates of travel across red oak flooring and cement asbestos used as control material.
