NTP: Wood dust is known to be a human carcinogen based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in humans.
NIOSH: Wood dust is listed as a potential occupational carcinogen.
IARC: Wood dust is carcinogenic to humans (Group 1). Titanium dioxide is possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B).
ACGIH: Titanium dioxide listed as not classifiable (A4). Beech and oak wood dust are listed as confirmed human carcinogen (A1).
12. Ecological Information
General information: No testing is available for dust generated from the product. Available ecological
information for components is summarized.
Zinc borate: Borate and zinc occur naturally in seawater at average concentrations of 5
mg/L and at lower concentrations in fresh water; however it can be harmful to plants
and aquatic life in high concentrations. Care should be taken to minimize the amount
of zinc borate released into the environment.
Toxicity: Titanium dioxide >240 mg/L, 96-Hr. LC50 Cyprinodon variegatus (fish, estuary,
marine), (Du Pont de Nemours (Deutschland) GmbH, Bayer AG Leverkusen, In:
ICULID)
Zinc borate > 2.7 mg/L, 96-Hr. LC50 Oncorhynchus mykiss (rainbow trout)
> 355 mg/L, 96-Hr. LC50 Lepomis macrochirus (bluegill)
Persistence and degradability: Under certain conditions, zinc borate will slowly hydrolyze to form other inorganic
chemicals such as zinc hydroxide and boric acid.
Bio-accumulation potential: Not available
Mobility: Zinc borate is sparingly soluble in water and may be leachable through normal soil.
13. Disposal Considerations
Disposal methods: Do not dispose to sewer or environment. Observe all applicable federal, state, and local
regulations. Waste, as defined in Directive 2006/12/EC, is not subject to classification, labelling
and packaging requirements in 2008/1272/EC.
RCRA Waste Code: Does not meet RCRA criteria for US hazardous waste. Not listed and does not contain any TCLP
compounds.
14. Transport Information
UN Number: None. Also no CHRIS or DOT Hazard number.
Proper shipping name: Exterior Trim and Panels
Transport hazard classes: Not considered a hazardous classification
Packing group, if applicable: No specific hazardous material packing requirements
