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.
1 Styrene-Butyl Acrylate Copolymer
Subcutaneous implantation of polymeric styrene powder
in rats has induced tumors at the site of implantation.
2 Carbon 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.
3 Paraffin Wax
Group 3 “Not Classifiable”; IARC
May cause eye, skin, respiratory, and digestive tract
irritation. Paraffin is an equivocal tumorgenic agent by
RTECS criteria.
4 Amorphous 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.
