Other Flammable Properties
Use water spray to cool containers exposed to fire.
Unusual Hazards
In case of fire partly flammable, partly harmful vapours, which are irritating to the eyes and respiratory
system, may be formed on thermal decomposition. -
Extinguishing Media
Use the following extinguishing media when fighting fires involving this material:
water spray - foam - dry chemical - carbon dioxide
Fire Fighting Procedures
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or
equivalent) and full protective gear.

6. Accidental Release Measures
Procedures
Collect material and place in a disposal container. Obey relevant local, state, provincial and federal laws
and regulations.
Should not be released into the environment. Collect and dispose of unused residues.
See Material Safety Data Sheet section 8, Exposure Controls/Personal Protection.
7. Handling and Storage
Handling
Avoid dust formation. During thermoplastic processing, vapours of the decomposition products referred
to in section 10 are given off, which are technically unavoidable (Observe exposure threshold limit
values). During thermal processing and/or machining local exhaust ventilation at processing machines
is necessary.
Storage
Storage: dry.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Exposure Limit Information
ACRYLIC COPOLYMER
trade secret
No Occupational Exposure Values established (ACGIH, OSHA, Canada and Mexico).
Engineering Controls (Ventilation)
If use operations generate dust, use adequate ventilation.
Respiratory Protection
A respiratory protection program meeting OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must
be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use.
Eye Protection
goggles for machining operations
Hand Protection
protective gloves against mechanical risks
Other Protective Equipment
To identify additional Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requirements, it is recommended that
a hazard assessment in accordance with the OSHA PPE Standard (29CFR1910.132) be
conducted before using this product.
