Potential risks

Risk of explosion

Enriched sanding/grinding dust can lead to dust explosions in the presence of ignition sources. Sanding/grinding dust can be electrostatically charged when evacuated with air extraction systems and pose an ignition hazard.

Risk of injury

When performing certain types of work on carbon fiber reinforced plastics such as cutting, grinding, etc., carbon fiber dust containing fine, short fibers is produced. This dust or fibers irritate the bronchial tubes and may cause damage to the lungs. Fibers that settle in the lungs may lead to lung damage .

Skin irritation

The sharp fibers of the carbon fiber dust cause tiny injuries when they penetrate into the surface of the skin which can lead to skin irritations - particularly in combination with dirt.

Safety precautions/instructions

Always wear fine dust filter mask, safety glasses and protective gloves when working with CRP materials.
Avoid stirring up dust that is formed and immediately extract all dust caused by grinding work with an approved vacuum cleaner while working on CRP materials.
The air extraction systems must be grounded to prevent a dust explosion.
Only use tools that have a connection for extractor units.
Wipe off remaining dust residues with a moist, lint-free rag.

First-aid measures

Contact with eyes

Immediately rinse eyes thoroughly with running, lukewarm water and contact an eye doctor.

Contact with skin

Immediately wash affected skin areas with warm water and soap.

Respiratory paths

Move to fresh air. Contact physician.
