MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET

SECTION 1. CHEMICAL PRODUCT AND COMPANY IDENTIFICATION

PRODUCT NAME: Hardboard

TRADE NAME: Eucaboard

SECTION2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

DESCRIPTION: Eucaboard is manufactured from wet, mat formed, hot pressed eucalyptus fiber hardboard.

Under heat and pressure the natural wood resins flow and bond into a material with uniform physical

properties.

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW

Sawing, sanding or machining wood products can produce wood dust which can cause an explosion hazard.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

INHALATION: Wood dust may cause nasal dryness, irritation, coughing and sinusitis.

EYE CONTACT: Wood dust can cause mechanical irritation.

SKIN CONTACT species of wood dust may evoke allergic contact dermatitis in sensitized individuals. If an

allergy pre-exists or develops, it may be necessary to remove the sensitized worker from further exposure.

INGESTION: Not applicable under normal conditions of use.

SECTION 3. FIRST AID MEASURES

INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If persistent irritation, severe coughing or breathing difficulty occurs, get

medical attention.

EYE CONTACT: Remove contact lenses. Flush eyes, including under eyelids, with large amounts of water.

If irritation persists, get medical attention.

SKIN CONTACT: Wash affected areas with soap and water. If rash or persistent irritation or dermatitis

occurs, get medical attention.

EXPLOSIVE LIMITS: Sawing, sanding or machining wood products can produce wood dust as a byproduct. Wood dust is a strong to severe explosion hazard if a dust "cloud" contacts an ignition source. 212°F (100°C) has been suggested as the upper temperature limit for continuous exposure for wood without risk of ignition (wood dust may require a still lower temperature). An airborne concentration of 40 grams of dust per cubic meter of air is often used as the lowest explosion limit (LEL) for wood dust.

HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Thermal-oxidative degradation, or burning, of wood can produce irritating and potentially toxic fumes and gases including carbon monoxide, aldehydes and organic acids. HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur. SECTION 10. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION WOOD DUST: Wood dust generated from sawing, sanding or machining this product may cause nasal dryness, irritation, coughing and sinusitis.
