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.
