Product and Company IdentificationMaterial nameWOOD PRODUCTS (UF BONDED)Product useBuilding Materials - DecorativeChemical descriptionMedium Density Fiberboard (MDF) and hardboard paneling bonded with urea-formaldehyde listSee Product List found in Section 16 Manufacturer informationGeorgia-Pacific Wood Products LLC133 Peachtree Street, NEAtlanta, GA 3030 MSDS Request Information - Emergency Hazards IdentificationEmergency overviewSawing, sanding or machining wood or wood products can generate dust. Wood dust may igniteor form explosive mixture with air in the presence of an ignition source. Wood dust and/orformaldehyde may be irritating to eyes, skin and/or respiratory health effectsEyesContact with eyes may cause irritation and/or with skin may cause and formaldehyde vapors may cause respiratory tract to MATERIAL form and application, ingestion is considered unlikely.

Composition / Information on IngredientsNot Assigned60 - 100 WOOD/WOOD DUST50-00-00 - commentsSome lumber products may be sprayed with sap stain control First Aid MeasuresFirst aid proceduresEye contactIn case of contact, immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water, continuing to flush for 15minutes. Do not rub the eyes. Get medical attention contactIf irritation develops, wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation from area of exposure. If the affected person is not breathing, apply artificial persistent irritation, severe coughing or breathing difficulty occurs, seek medical wood or wood dust is swallowed, get immediate medical attention or advice -- Do not Fire Fighting MeasuresExtinguishing mediaSuitable extinguishingmediaUse methods for the surrounding fightingequipment/instructionsFirefighte rs should wear full protective clothing including self contained breathing burned dust is especially hazardous if dispersed into the air.

Ensure adequateventilation. Avoid inhalation of dust during clean for cleaning upVacuum or wet sweep small wood pieces and dust; place in appropriate container for larger pieces by an appropriate method. Reduce airborne dust by use of wet methods andprevent scattering by moistening with Handling and StorageHandlingDust can form an explosive mixture in air.
4 Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at machineryand at places where dust can be generated. Use personal protective equipment as frequent or prolonged inhalation of wood dust. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and hands thoroughly after handling. Keep formation of airborne dusts to a minimum. Keepaway from heat and sources of flat, supported and protected from direct contact with the ground. Keep in a well-ventilatedplace away from incompatible materials.

5 Thepresent OSHA exposure limits governing wood dust is 15 mg/m3 (Total Dust) and 5 mg/m3(Respirable Fraction).Engineering controlsDue to the explosive potential of dust when suspended in air, precautions should be taken whensawing, sanding, or machining wood or wood products to prevent sparks or other ignition sourcesin ventilation equipment. Local exhaust ventilation is recommended when sawing, sanding, ormachining this product. General dilution ventilation is recommended in processing and storageareas. Use wet methods, if appropriate, to reduce generation of protective equipmentEye / face protectionSafety glasses or goggles are recommended when using this product. Ensure compliance withOSHA's PPE standard (29 CFR and .133) for eye and face protectionImpervious protective clothing and gloves recommended to prevent drying or irritation of compliance with OSHA's PPE standards (29 CFR (general) and 138 (handprotection)).

Toxicological information for components of thisproduct is listed DUST. Wood dust may cause dryness, irritation, coughing or sinusitis. IARC and NTPclassify wood dust as a carcinogen due to cancers of the upper respiratory Exposure to formaldehyde may cause temporary irritation to the nose andthroat and may lead to respiratory disorders. Pre-existing respiratory disorders may also beaggravated by exposure. Studies have reported that persons with asthma responded nodifferently than healthy individuals at concentrations as high as 3 and NTP classify formaldehyde as a carcinogen due to cancers of the upper respiratorysystem and leukemia.
