*N/A = Not Applicable **N/D = Not Determined
Section 4: Fire and Explosion Hazard Data
Flash Point N/A*
Flammable Limits 40 grams of dust per cubic meter of air is often used as the
lowest explosion limit for wood dust.
Auto Ignition N/D*
Combustion Products CO2 ,CO, possible traces of HCN and NOx
Fire Hazards Foam will burn and should not be left exposed. Under
certain fire conditions, combustible gases can be generated
creating rapidly spreading, high intensity flames and dense,
black smoke. Wood dusts may ignite at temperatures in
excess of 400篎
Extinguishing Method Water, CO2 , dry chemical, foam, sand
Firefighting Procedure Firefighters should wear selfcontained breathing
equipment and full protective clothing
*N/A = Not Applicable **N/D = Not Determined
Section 5: Reactivity Data
Stability (Conditions to Avoid) Stable, avoid sources of ignition.
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid) Acetone, methyl ethyl ketone,
tetrahydrofuran, chlorine, chloroform,
hydrogen peroxide, ethylene dichloride,
dimethyl sulfoxide, and dimethyl formamide
Hazardous Decomposition Products Primarily CO, CO2, some HCN possible
under certain conditions. Toxic constituents
which may be found in wood smoke include
carbon monoxide, aldehydes, and polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons.
Hazardous Polymerization Will not occur.
Section 6: Health Hazard Data
Primary Route(s) of Entry Inhalation
Breathing dust from this product may cause a scratchy throat, congestion, and slight
coughing. Getting dust or fibers on the skin or in the eyes may cause itching, rash, or
