PART III: PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Description: Hardwood veneers, unfinished and flat line UV finished multi-ply composite wood panels
consisting of various combinations of hardwood or decorative veneer faces, bonded to
other wood veneers using adhesives containing no added formaldehyde. Generally used
in cabinets, furnishings, flooring, and in other non-structural applications. Typically
provided as 50”X100” lay-on hardwood veneers, and 4’ X 8’ hardwood panels. Other
dimensions of hardwood plywood and veneers are available. Thickness of products range
from 1/42” of an inch to over 1”.
PART III: PHYSICAL PROPERTIES (Cont’d)
Specific gravity: Usually less than 1, but varies depending on wood species and moisture content.
Boiling point: Not applicable.
Solubility in water: Insoluble.
Appearance/Odor: Normal for natural wood. Light to dark in color. Color and odor vary by species and
expired time since processing.
PART IV: FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA
Flash point: 600
o
F for wood.
Autoignition temp.: Varies (typically 400
o
F to 500
o
F)
Explosive limits in air: N/A for hardwood plywood. 40 g/m
3
(LEL) for wood dust.
Extinguishing media: Water, ammonium phosphate, sand
Special fire fighting
procedures: Follow established procedures for extinguishing wood source fire.
Unusual fire and
explosion hazard: Hardwood plywood does not present an explosion hazard. Sawing, sanding, or
machining of hardwood plywood can produce wood dust as a by-product which
may present an explosion hazard if a dust cloud contacts an ignition source. An
airborne concentration of 40 grams of wood dust per cubic meter of air is often
used as the LEL for wood dust.
PART V: REACTIVITY DATA
Stability: Stable under normal conditions.
Incompatibility: Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents and drying oils. Avoid open flame.
Product may ignite at temperatures in excess of 400
o
F, depending on length
of time of exposure.
Hazardous
decomposition
products: Thermal and/or thermal oxidative decomposition of wood can produce irritating
and toxic fumes and gases, including carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide,
aldehydes, organic acids, and polynuclear aromatic compounds.
Conditions to avoid: Avoid open flames or other ignition source.
Storage: In a cool, dry place, away from ignition sources. Provide adequate ventilation.
