protection (EN 407), when needed. Use gloves to protect from mechanical injury. Selection of gloves will depend on
the task.
Respiratory Protection: In dusty or misty atmospheres, use an approved particulate respirator. Use an approved air-
purifying respirator when vapors are generated at increased temperatures or when dust or mist is present. Use the
following CE approved air-purifying respirator: When dust/mist are
present use a/an Particulate filter, type P2. When combinations of vapors, acids, or dusts/mists are present use a/an
Organic vapor cartridge with a particulate pre-filter, type AP2.
Ingestion: Use good personal hygiene. Do not consume or store food in the work area. Wash hands before smoking or
eating.
Engineering Controls
Ventilation: Good general ventilation should be sufficient for most conditions. Local exhaust ventilation may be
necessary for some operations
Toxicological Information
Acute Toxicity
Ingestion
Very low toxicity if swallowed. Harmful effects not anticipated from swallowing small amounts. May cause choking if
swallowed.
Estimated LD50, Rat > 5,000 mg/kg
Eye Contact
Solid or dust may cause irritation or corneal injury due to mechanical action. Elevated temperatures may generate
vapor levels sufficient to cause eye irritation. Effects may include discomfort and redness.
Skin Contact
Essentially nonirritating to skin. Mechanical injury only. Under normal processing conditions, material is heated to
elevated temperatures; contact with the material may cause thermal burns.
Skin Absorption
No adverse effects anticipated by skin absorption. Estimated LD50, Rabbit > 2,000 mg/kg
Inhalation
No adverse effects are anticipated from single exposure to dust. Vapors/fumes released during thermal processing
may cause respiratory irritation.
Repeated Dose Toxicity
Additives are encapsulated in the product and are not expected to be released under normal processing conditions or
foreseeable emergency.
Ecological Information
CHEMICAL FATE
Movement & Partitioning
No bioconcentration of the polymeric component is expected because of its high molecular weight. In the terrestrial
environment, material is expected to remain in the soil. In the aquatic environment, material will sink and remain in the
sediment.
Persistence and Degradability
This water-insoluble polymeric solid is expected to be inert in the environment. Surface photo degradation is expected
with exposure to sunlight. No appreciable biodegradation is expected.
ECOTOXICITY
Not expected to be acutely toxic, but material in pellet or bead form may mechanically cause adverse effects if
ingested by waterfowl or aquatic life.
Disposal Considerations
For uncontaminated material the disposal options include mechanical and chemical recycling or energy recovery. In
some countries landfill is also allowed. For contaminated material the options remain the same, although additional
evaluation is required. For all countries the disposal methods
must be in compliance with national and provincial laws and any municipal or local by-laws. All disposal methods must
be in compliance with the EU framework Directives 91/156/EEC, 91/689/EEC and their subsequent adaptations, as
implemented in National Laws and Regulations, as well as EU Directives dealing with priority waste streams.
Transboundary shipment of wastes must be in compliance with EU Regulation 259/93 and subsequent modifications.
