SECTION 2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Inhalation
In common with most organic materials, thermal degradation
and combustion of byproducts may be toxic and should not be
inhaled.
Ingestion
Non-digestible. There is insufficient data available to predict
the effects from ingestion of the tubing material.
Skin
May irritate skin. May cause thermal burns if contact with
molten material.
Eyes
May cause thermal burns if contact with molten material.
Chronic (Long-Term Exposure)
None of the ingredients to which the users may be exposed to
and which are present at equal to or greater than 0.1% of the
product are listed by OSHA as suspected carcinogens.
Signs & Symptoms of Exposure
Overheating of the tubing to charring or burning may evolve
fumes irritating eyes, nose and throat. Persons with pre-
existing eye, skin or respiratory disorders may be more
susceptible to the effects of these fumes.
