Health Hazards Data
=======================================================
Route Of Entry Inds - Inhalation: YES
Skin: YES
Ingestion: YES
Carcinogenicity Inds - NTP: NO
IARC: YES
OSHA: NO
Effects of Exposure: INHALATION: LOW HAZARD FOR USUAL INDUSTRIAL HANDLING OR
COMMERCIAL HANDLING BY TRAINED PERSONNEL. STUDIES HAVE INDICATED EXPOSURES
OF LESS THAN 5PPM (OSHA PEL - 8 HOUR TWA IS 50PPM). UNDER NORMAL IN DUSTRIAL
USE THERE IS NO EXPOSURE TO DUST OR VAPOR ABOVE HEALTH HAZARD LIMITS. EYES:
LOW HAZARD FOR USUAL INDUSTRIAL HANDLING OR COMMERCIAL HANDLING BY TRAINED
PERSONNEL. SKIN: MOLTEN MATERIAL WILL PRODUCE THERMAL BURNS. INGESTION:
EXPECTED TO BE A LOW INGESTION HAZARD.
Explanation Of Carcinogenicity: STYRENE: IARC MONOGRAPHS, SUPPLEMENT, VOLUME
60, PAGE 233, 1994: GROUP 2B. ANIMAL: NERVOUS SYSTEM.
First Aid: INHAL: IF SYMPTOMATIC MOVE TO FRESH AIR. GET MED ATTN IF SYMPS
PERSIST. STD OPERATING TEMPS AT DIES & MOLDS WOULD INVOLVE ONLY MIN
EXPOS TO RESIDUAL STYRENE VAPS. STUDIES HAVE INDICATED EXPOS OF <5 PPM
(OSHA PEL - 8 HR TWA IS 50PPM). UNDER NORM INDUS USE THERE IS NO EXPOS TO
DUST/VAP ABOVE HLTH HAZ LIMS. EYES: ANY MATL THAT CONTACTS EYE SHOULD BE
WASHED OUT IMMED W/WATER. GET MED ATTN IF SYMP S PERSIST. FLUSH W/POTABLE
WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINS. SKIN: IF BURNED BY CONT W/MOLTEN MATL, COOL AS
QUICKLY AS POSS. DO NOT PEEL MATL FROM SKIN. FOR GEN CONT WASH W/SOAP &
WATER TO REMOVE PARTIC LES. (SUP DAT)
=======================================================
Handling and Disposal
=======================================================
Spill Release Procedures: STOP LEAK, CONTAIN SPILL, OBSTRUCT EXIT TO SEWERS,
WATERWAYS AND SOURCES OF IGNITION. COLLECT INTO CONTAINERS.
Waste Disposal Methods: DISCHARGE, TREATMENT, OR DISPOSAL MAY BE SUBJECT TO
NATIONAL, STATE, OR LOCAL LAWS. RECYCLE, INCINERATE, OR BURY IN APPROVED
LANDFILL PER LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS. SINCE EMPTIED CONTAIN
ERS RETAIN PRODUCT RESIDUE, FOLLOW LABEL WARNINGS EVEN AFTER CONTAINER IS
EMPTIED.
Handling And Storage Precautions: NO SPECIAL PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES SHOULD BE
NEEDED UNDER ANTICIPATED CONDITIONS OF USE. KEEP CONTAINER CLOSED.
Other Precautions: PREVENTION OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION: KEEP FROM CONTACT WITH
OXIDIZING MATERIALS. MINIMIZE DUST GENERATION AND ACCUMULATION. REFER TO
NFPA PAMPHLET NO. 654, "PREVENTION OF FIRE AND DUST EXPLOSIONS IN TH E
CHEMICAL, DYE, PHARMACEUTICAL, AND PLASTICS INDUSTRIES".
=======================================================
Fire and Explosion Hazard Information
=======================================================
Extinguishing Media: WATER SPRAY, DRY CHEMICAL, CARBON DIOXIDE.
Fire Fighting Procedures: WEAR NIOSH APPROVED SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT (FP N).
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard: COMBUSTIBLE SOLID. FIRE GIVES OFF DENSE BLACK
SMOKE, CARBON MONOXIDE AND CARBON DIOXIDE. POWDERED MATERIAL MAY FORM
EXPLOSIVE DUST-AIR MIXTURES.
=======================================================
Control Measures
=======================================================
Respiratory Protection: IF ENGINEERING CONTROLS DO NOT MAINTAIN AIRBORNE
CONCENTRATIONS TO BE AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL, A NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR MUST BE
WORN. IF RESPIRATORS ARE USED A PROGRAM SHOULD BE INSTITUTED TO ASSURE C
OMPLIANCE WITH OSHA STANDARDS 29 CFR 1910.134.
Ventilation: GOOD GEN VENT (TYPICALLY 10 AIR CHANGES/HR) SHOULD BE USED. VENT
RATES SHOULD BE MATCHED TO CNDTNS. SUPP LOC EXHST VENT, CLSD SYS/RESP PROT
MAY (OTHER INFO)
Protective Gloves: IMPERVIOUS GLOVES (FP N).
Eye Protection: ANSI APPROVED CHEMICAL WORKERS GOGGLES (FP N).
Other Protective Equipment: EMERGENCY EYEWASH AND DELUGE SHOWER MEETING ANSI
DESIGN CRITERIA (FP N).
Work Hygienic Practices: IT IS A GOOD INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE PRACTICE TO MINIMIZE
SKIN AND EYE CONTACT. WHEN MATERIAL IS HEATED, WEAR GLOVES TO PROTECT
AGAINST THERMAL BURNS.
Supplemental Safety and Health: FIRST AID PROC: NOTE TO MD: BURNS SHOULD BE
TREATED AS THERMAL BURNS. MATL WILL COME OFF AS HEALING OCCURS; THEREFORE,
IMMED REMOVAL FROM SKIN IS NOT NEC. INGEST: MATL IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE
ABSORBE D FROM GI TRACT SO THAT INDUCTION OF VOMIT SHOULD NOT BE NEC. NOTIFY
MED PERS.
