PLA

Hazards Identification
Appearance: Clear, translucent, opaque, pellets.
Physical state: Solid
Odor: Sweet
Potential health effects:
Eye contact: Contact with eyes may cause irritation.
Skin contact: Substance may cause slight skin irritation.
Ingestion: Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and
diarrhoea.
Inhalation: Inhalation of dust may cause shortness of breath, tightness of the chest,
a sore throat and cough. Low hazard for usual industrial or commercial handling.
Target organ effects: There were no target organ effects noted following ingestion or
dermal exposure in animal studies.
Sensitization: Did not cause sensitisation on laboratory animals
Flammability: Fine dust dispersed in air may ignite.
First-aid measures
Eye contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician immediately.
Skin contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If skin irritation persists, call a physician. Cool skin rapidly with cold
water after contact with hot polymer.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Call a physician immediately.
Ingestion: Drink water as a precaution. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. Call
a physician immediately.
Notes to physician: Treat symptomatically.
Fire Fighting Measures
Flammability:
Autoignition temperature: 388°C
Flammability Limits in Air
Flammable limits in air - lower (%): Not determined
Flammable limits in air - upper (%): Not determined
Suitable extinguishing media: Foam. Water. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Dry chemical. Alcohol resistant foams are preferred if available. General-purpose
synthetic foams (including AFFF) or protein foams may function, but much less effectively.
Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons: No information available Hazardous decomposition products: Burning produces
obnoxious and toxic fumes Aldehydes Carbon monoxide (CO) carbon dioxide (CO2)
Special protective equipment for firefighters: As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or
equivalent) and full protective gear. Under fire conditions: Cool containers / tanks with spray water. Water mist may be used to cool closed
containers.
Other information: Fine dust dispersed in air may ignite. Risks of ignition followed by flame propagation or secondary explosions shall be prevented
by avoiding accumulation of dust, e.g. on floors and ledges.
Handling and Storage
Safe handling advice: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid dust formation. Workers should be protected from the possibility of contact with
molten material during fabrication. Low hazard for usual industrial or commercial handling. Use personal protective equipment.
Storage:
Store in cool place. Keep at temperatures below 122F (50 °C). No special restrictions on storage with other products.
