1. Substances
1. Description of first aid measures
1.1. Inhalation
Move to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Call a physician immediately if irritation persists.
1.2. Skin contact
Rinse immediately with plenty of water. If skin irritation persists, call a physician. Cool skin rapidly with cold water after
contact with hot polymer.
1.3. Eye contact
Rinse immediately with plenty of water. Call a physician immediately.
1.4. Ingestion
Drink water as a precaution. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Do not induce omitting without
medical advice. Call a physician immediately.
2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Burns resulted from contacting or handling heated/molten materials
3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically.
1. 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.
2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
No specific hazard.
3. Advice for fire fighters
Follow the general fire precautions indicated in the workplace. Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective
clothing must be worn in case of fire. Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved
materials. Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with
a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.

Section 7: Handling and storage
Nov. 2018
Safety Data Sheet
Version 4.0
1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Lab coat. Impervious gloves. Safety glasses with side shields.
2. Environmental precautions
Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system.
3. Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Shovel into suitable container for disposal.
1. Precautions for safe handling
Avoid prolonged contact with skin and eyes. Avoid dust formation. Workers should be protected from the possibility of
contact with molten material. Low hazard for usual industrial or commercial handling.
2. Conditions for safe storage
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Keep away from heat, sparks and flames. Keep containers closed. Avoid moisture
contamination. Transferring dry pellets or granules between containers or charging into solvents can cause a build-up of
static electricity which can be sufficient to cause fires and/or explosions in the presence of flammable materials.
Equipment should provide a means of dissipating any charges that may develop.
1. Control parameters
Consult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits.
Biological limit values:
No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s)
Recommended monitoring procedures:
Not available
Derived no-effect level (DNEL):
Not available

2. Engineering controls
Use local exhaust ventilation to maintain airborne concentrations below the TLV. Suitable respiratory equipment should be
used in cases of insufficient ventilation or where operational procedures demand it. For guidance on engineering control
measures refer to publications such as the ACGIH current edition of 'Industrial Ventilation, a manual of Recommended
Practice.
