Section II - Physical/Chemical Characteristics

Polyimide Film
Electrically conductive particles embedded in a layer of polysiloxane adhesive

Section III - Hazardous Ingredients

No hazardous materials present
(1) According to Commission Directive 88/379/EEC (Article 3 6aa).

Section IV - First Aid Measures

4.1. Skin: No irritation is expected from handling the tape, however ensure good industrial hygiene and wash exposed areas with soap
and Water.

4.2. Eyes: Rinse opened eye for several minutes under running water.

4.3. Inhalation: Not a probable route of exposure for adhesive tape. Exposure to the encapsulated electrically conductive articles in the
adhesive layer is not likely.

4.4. Ingestion: Not a probable route of exposure for adhesive for adhesive tape. Treat symptomatically.

4.5. Other first aid information: Not known

Section V - Fire Extinguishing Measures

5.1. Extinguishing media: Carbon dioxide, foam, dry powder, or fine water spray.

5.2. Unsuitable extinguishing media: None known

5.3. Unusual firefighting hazards: None known

5.4. Special firefighting procedures: Self-contained respirator should be worn.

5.5. Other recommendations: None known

5.6. Combustion products: Polyimide film chars but does not burn in air, however it will burn in an atmosphere of 100% oxygen. The major
off-gases are carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. The silicone adhesive layer also tends to char leaving residues of silica and off-gases
containing carbon dioxide, traces of incompletely burned carbon products and formaldehyde.

Section VI - Accidental Release Measure

6.1. Personal protection: Avoid contact with eyes.

6.2. Precautions to protect the environment: None established

6.3. Clean up procedure: Pick up to prevent floor

Section VII - Handling and Storage

7.1. Handling precautions: Avoid contact with eyes. Ensure good industrial hygiene and wash skin with soap and water after contact.

7.2. Storage: No special measures are required.

7.3. Unsuitable packaging materials : None known.

7.4. Incompatibilities: None known.

7.5. Other information: None known.

Section VIII - Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

8.1 Exposure controls: Safe handling/usage of PPI RD-042 at high temperatures (above 200°C/392°F) requires adequate ventilation. Using
small quantities normal air circulation may be adequate otherwise further ventilation measures are recommended.

8.2. Exposure controls for hazardous components: No hazardous materials present

8.3. Personal protective equipment:
Respiratory: Not required for normal handling.
Protective gloves: Not required for normal handling, if tape is hot gloves are recommended as good industrial practice.
Eye/Face: Safety glasses are recommended as good industrial practice.
Industrial Hygiene: Wash after handling, especially before eating, drinking or smoking. Exercise good industrial hygiene practice.

Note: Blank spaces are not permitted. If any item it not applicable, or no

information is available,the space must be marked to indicate that.

Section X - Stability and Reactivity

10.1 Stability: Stable at normal temperatures and storage conditions (ideal 23°C ± 2°C (73°F ± 4°F) 50% ± 2% relative humidity)

10.2 Reactivity:

Conditions to avoid: none known.
Materials to avoid: Can react with strong oxidizing agents
Hazardous decomposition products: At temperatures above 400°C/752°F, the major off-gases from polyimide film are carbon
monoxide and carbon dioxide. With prolonged exposure to temperatures above 150°C/302°F silicone adhesives in the presence of
oxygen may emit trace quantities of formaldehyde.
