SAFETY DATA SHEET ( SDS ) for PYRO - GUARD ' TREATED WOOD <br /> EXPLOSIVE LIMITS : Sawing , sanding or machining wood products can produce wood dust as a by-product. <br /> Wood dust is a strong to severe explosion hazard if a dust "cloud" contacts an ignition source . 212°F ( 100°C) <br /> has been suggested as the upper temperature limit for continuous exposure for wood without risk of ignition <br /> (wood dust may require a still lower temperature) . An airborne concentration of 40 grams of dust per cubic <br /> meter of air is often used as the lowest explosion limit (LEL) for wood dust. <br /> HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS : Thermal- oxidative degradation, or burning, of wood can <br /> produce irritating and potentially toxic fumes and gases including carbon monoxide , aldehydes and organic <br /> acids . Chemical treatment has little or no effect on the above possibilities from untreated wood . <br /> AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE : Unknown (Chemical Treatment Retards) . <br /> (c) Special protective equipment and precautions for fire-fighters . <br /> None <br /> SECTION VI - Accidental Release Measures <br /> (a) Personal precautions , protective equipment, and emergency procedures . <br /> (b ) Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up . <br /> Not applicable for product in purchased form . Sweep or vacuum up sawdust for recovery or disposal . Wood <br /> dust clean-up and disposal activities should be accomplished in a manner to minimize creation of airborne dust . <br /> SECTION VII - Handling and Storage <br /> (a) Precautions for safe handling . <br /> (b) Conditions for safe storage , including any incompatibilities . <br /> HANDLING . <br /> Protective Gloves — Work gloves are recommended to avoid splinters . <br /> I <br /> Eye Protection — Safety goggles or glasses are recommended when machining to protect against sawdust and <br /> flying wood particles . <br /> — Recommended as typical with any wood working . <br /> Protective Clothing or Equipment <br /> Work/Hygienic Practices - Practice good hygiene , wash hands after use and before eating , drinking or using <br /> tobacco products . <br /> STORAGE : <br /> No ground contact allowed . Product is shipped dry and should not be exposed to the weather. Water spray may <br /> be used to wet down wood dust generated by sawing, grinding , drilling, sanding or machining to reduce the <br /> likelihood of ignition or dispersion of dust into the air . <br /> SDS #HTWP2 Hoover Treated Wood Products , Inc.
