ARAUCO North America Safety Data Sheet WOOD PRODUCTS Building Materials Structural, Industrial or Decorative Explosive Limits: Sawing, sanding, or machining wood products can produce wood dust as a by-product. Wood dust is a strong 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 the risk of ignition (wood dust may require a still lower temperature).
