Hazards Identification
This product is not classified as dangerous according to EC criteria.
First-aid measures
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with plenty of water; remove contact lenses after the first 1-2 minutes then continue flushing
for several minutes. Only mechanical effects expected. If effects occur, consult a physician, preferably an
ophthalmologist.
Skin Contact: If molten material comes in contact with the skin, do not apply ice but cool under ice water or running
stream of water. DO NOT attempt to remove the material from skin. Removal could result in severe tissue damage.
Seek medical attention immediately.
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air; if effects occur, consult a physician.
Ingestion: If swallowed, seek medical attention. May cause gastrointestinal blockage. Do not give laxatives. Do not
induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel.
Notes to Physician: If burn is present, treat as any thermal burn, after decontamination. No specific antidote.
Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient.
Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media: Water fog or fine spray. Dry chemical fire extinguishers. Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers. Foam.
Fire Fighting Procedures: Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. Soak thoroughly with water to
cool and prevent re-ignition. If material is molten, do not apply direct water stream. Use fine water spray or foam. Cool
surroundings with water to localize fire zone. Hand held
dry chemical or carbon dioxide extinguishers may be used for small fires
Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and
protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, trousers, boots, and gloves). If protective
equipment is not available or not used, fight fire from a protected
location or safe distance.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Pneumatic conveying and other mechanical handling operations can generate
combustible dust. To reduce the potential for dust explosions, do not permit dust to accumulate. Dense smoke is
produced when product burns.
Hazardous Combustion Products: During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in addition to combustion
products of varying composition which may be toxic and/or irritating. Combustion products may include and are not
limited to: Nitrogen oxides. Carbon monoxide. Carbon dioxide.
Combustion products may include trace amounts of: Styrene. Hydrogen cyanide
Handling and Storage
Handling
General Handling: No smoking, open flames or sources of ignition in handling and storage area. Good housekeeping
and controlling of dusts are necessary for safe handling of product. Avoid breathing process fumes. Use with adequate
ventilation. When appropriate, unique handling
information for containers can be found on the product label. Workers should be protected from the possibility of
contact with molten resin. Do not get molten material in eyes, on skin or clothing. Pneumatic conveying and other
mechanical handling operations can generate combustible dust. To
reduce the potential for dust explosions, electrically bond and ground equipment and do not permit dust to
accumulate. Dust can be ignited by static discharge.
Storage
Store in accordance with good manufacturing practices
Personal Protection
Eye/Face Protection: Use safety glasses. If there is a potential for exposure to particles which could cause eye
discomfort, wear chemical goggles. If exposure causes eye discomfort, use a full-face respirator. Use safety glasses.
Safety glasses should be consistent with Directive 89/686/EEC
Category 2. If there is a potential for exposure to particles which could cause eye discomfort, wear chemical goggles.
Chemical goggles should be consistent with EN 166 or equivalent. If exposure causes eye discomfort, use a full-face
respirator.
Skin Protection: No precautions other than clean body-covering clothing should be needed.
Hand protection: Chemical protective gloves should not be needed when handling this material. Consistent with
general hygienic practice for any material, skin contact should be minimized. Use gloves with insulation for thermal
