Inhalation - (Fume Evolution):

There is no release of any noxious fumes from

Sandell®’s Rebonded Sponge Rubber at ambient

temperature.





Ingestion:

Ingestion of Sandell®’s Rebonded Sponge Rubber

should be avoided even though the material is inert and

can be regarded as toxicologically harmless except for

some flame retardant grades containing additives which

could be harmful if swallowed.





Physical Contact:

Sandell®’s Rebonded Sponge Rubber is not considered

to be a skin irritant but under some circumstances can

have a minor abrasive effect on skin. Particles may

cause physical irritation if they get into eyes.





Fire, Ignition and Burning Characteristics:

Decomposition of Sandell®’s Rebonded Sponge Rubber

will occur at about 300° C. Above this temperature

Sandell®’s Rebonded Sponge Rubber will pyrolyse

oxidatively to produce carbon monoxide and water plus

small amounts of various hydrocarbons and aldehydes.

The evolved gases may ignite, and if they do they will

provide heat of combustion pyrolysing any other material

in the vicinity.
