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.
Health Hazards:
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 3 “Not Classifiable”; 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. Polypropylene
(Group 3 “Not Classifiable”; IARC)
Subcutaneous implantation of polypropylene powder in
rats has induced tumors at the site of implantation.
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.
