SECTION 3 ?HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: No harmful effects known from normal use. May contain trace amounts of residual
formaldehyde and/or phenol. May release hazardous fumes of formaldehyde and/or phenol when heated.
ACUTE EFFECTS ?EYE CONTACT: Article. Not expected to present a hazard in normal use.
ACUTE EFFECTS - SKIN CONTACT: Article. No harmful effects known.
ACUTE EFFECTS ?INHALATION: Article. Not a likely route of exposure. Vapors from heated material may be
irritating. Inhalation of dust from grinding or machining of material may cause transient irritation.
ACUTE EFFECTS - INGESTION: Not expected to present a hazard in normal industrial use.
CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE EFFECTS: **When heated to high temperatures, this product may release
formaldehyde and/or phenol vapors. Formaldehyde is irritating to the skin, eyes, nose, and throat, and has been listed
as a carcinogen by NTP, IARC, and OSHA. Repeated or prolonged overexposure may cause serious respiratory
and/or skin sensitization. Testing in animals has shown reproductive effects. Repeated or prolonged overexposure to
phenol via inhalation, ingestion, or skin absorption may cause damage to the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and spleen.
Phenol is mutagenic "in-vitro."
