Eyes: Fine dust may scratch eye surface; vapors, fumes, or splays which form at elevated
temperatures can be irritants.
Inhalation: Not a hazard at ambient temperatures; vapors, fumes or sprays which can format

Inhalation: If overcome by dust
persist.
Eyes: If dust or molten material contacts the eye, immediately flush with plenty of water for at least
15
minutes. If irritation persists, get medical attention immediately.
Skin: For thermal burns, flush or submerge effected area in cold water to dissipate heat. Cover with
clean bandage material. Do not peel material from skin. Get medical attention. For contact at
ambient temperatures, wash with soap and water.
Ingestion: Material is not expected to be absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract so that induction of
vomiting should not be necessary.
Note to Physicians: Burns should be treated as thermal burns. The material will come off as
healing occurs; therefore, immediate removal from the skin is not necessary.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing Media: water fog, dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide
Special Fire-Fighting Procedures: Water spray to cool fire exposed surfaces. Wear self-contained
breathing apparatus and protective clothing to enter area.
Hazardous Combustion Products: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde,
acetaldehyde, irritating smoke.
General Fire and Explosion Hazards: Solid product will burn at or above the flash point. Oxygen
lean conditions may produce toxic gases, acrid fumes, irritating smoke. Product may accumulate a
static charge which could result in an electrical discharge that could ignite polymer dust.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Sweep or shovel up, place
in
a container for salvage or disposal. Product is non-hazardous in its
delivered form.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Personal Precautionary Measures: Avoid contact with molten material; do not breathe fumes,
vapors, dust or sprays from molten or burning material. When processing at > 600F (315C.),
consider use of a respirator to avoid breathing decomposition products.
Prevention of Fire and Explosion: Keep from contact with incompatible materials. Minimize dust
generation and accumulation. Because product may accumulate a static charge, use proper bonding
and/or grounding procedures prior to transfer. In the United States of America, refer to NFPA®
Pamphlet No. 654, "Prevention of Fire and Dust Explosions from the Manufacturing, Processing, and
Handling of Combustible Particulate Solids."
Storage: Keep container closed and in ventilated area, away from ignition sources, heat, open
flames, and direct sunlight.
Do
not store with incompatible materials. I

EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Occupational Exposure: Nuisance dust TLV: 10 mglm³ (ACGIH)
Ventilation: Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation
rates should be matched to conditions. Supplementary local exhaust ventilation, closed systems, or
respiratory and eye protection may be needed in special circumstances; such as poorly ventilated
spaces, very hot processing, evaporation of liquids from large surfaces, spraying of mists,
mechanical generation of dusts, drying of solids, etc.
Respiratory Protection: If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations to an
acceptable level, an approved respirator must be worn. In the United States of America, if respirators
are used, a program should be instituted to assure compliance with
1910.134. Respirator type: dust, organic vapor
Eye Protection: Wear goggles or a face shield when working with molten material or when dust is
generated.
Skin Protection: Wear thermally resistant gloves and long sleeves when handling molten product.
Recommended Decontamination Facilities: eye bath, washing facilities
