POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS (See Section 11 for toxicological data.)
EYE: Solid or dust may cause irritation or corneal injury due
to mechanical action. Vapors generated during thermal
operations such as hot wire cutting may cause eye and
respiratory irritation.
SKIN: Essentially nonirritating to skin. Mechanical injury only.
Skin absorption is unlikely due to physical properties.
INGESTION: Ingestion is unlikely due to physical state.
INHALATION: Dust may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract.
Vapors generated during thermal operations such as hot wire
cutting may cause eye and respiratory irritation.
