Hands
AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN.
Wear leather work gloves to protect skin against mechanical irritation and splinters.
Advice on general occupational hygiene
Do not eat, drink and smoke in work areas. Wash hands after use. Remove
contaminated clothing and protective equipment before accessing to eating area.

Flammability (Solid, gas)
These wood panels are flammable in presence of ignition source
Upper flammability/explosive limit
(% by volume)
Higher: undetermined (varies with composition particle size, moisture level, rate of
heating and dust concentration)
Lower flammability/explosive limit
(% by volume)
40 grams/m
3
(wood dust)
Dust explosion is strongly possible if dust concentrations rise to critical values (above 40
grams/m
3
) and if there is a source of ignition present (flame, heat, static discharge, etc.)
Relative density (@25 ºC)
Variable (dependent on wood species and moisture content)
V

Not applicable
SECTION 10.STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Reactivity
Not available
Stability
Stable under normal conditions
Possible hazardous reactions
Not hazardous reactions will occur
Conditions to avoid
Keep away of ignition sources (excessive heat, open flames, sparks) and incompatible
materials
Materials to avoid and
incompatibility
Wood dust can ignite if it comes in contact with strong oxidizing agents such as perchloric
acid and nitric acids, and with strong acids such as sulfuric acid and if it comes in contact
with drying oils such as linseed oil.
Hazardous decomposition products
Thermal and/or thermal oxidative decomposition can produce irritating and toxic fumes
and gases, including carbon monoxide, aldehydes, isocyanate, organic acids and
polynuclear aromatic compounds.
SECTION 11.TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
In purchase form these products do not represent health hazard
Routes of exposures
Inhalation, skin and eyes contact
Toxicological data
No test data exists on the purchased form products. Listed below is the data available on
individual chemical ingredients entering in the composition of the wood panels and wood
dust.
Exposure to wood dust may cause asthmatic symptoms and signs.
