10. Stability and Reactivity
Reactivity: Not reactive
Chemical stability: Stable
Possibility of hazardous reaction: None
Conditions to avoid: Excessive heat, sparks, flames, other ignition sources
Incompatible materials: None known
Hazardous decomposition products: Natural decomposition of organic materials such as wood dust may produce toxic
gases and an oxygen deficient atmosphere in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas.
11. Toxicological Information
Likely routes of exposure: Inhalation of dust may cause upper respiratory tract irritation. Skin or eye contact with
dust from this product may cause physical irritation. Dust may cause allergenic effects upon
inhalation or skin contact. Components in dust are potential carcinogens via inhalation.
Acute toxicity: Zinc borate has low acute oral toxicity.
Skin corrosion/irritation: Zinc borate has low acute dermal toxicity. Wood dust is a mild skin irritant. May cause
reddening and irritation
Eye damage/irritation: Dust may cause mild eye irritation.
Respiratory or skin Some wood species can elicit contact dermatitis or respiratory allergic response
sensitization: in sensitized individuals with prolonged or chronic contact. ACGIH: Review of
human studies found that, “wood dusts can cause allergic contact dermatitis as a
result of Type I and Type IV hypersensitivity, as well as irritant dermatitis.”
Germ cell mutagenicity: None
Carcinogenicity: Wood dust and titanium dioxide in dust are potential carcinogens. See classifications in
table below.
