Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: OVEREXP NOT EXPECTED AT AMBIENT
    TEMPS. NO ADVERSE HLTH EFTS ARE EXPECTED DURING NORM PROCESSING
    WHEN POTENTIAL EXPOS ARE ELIM BY GOOD INDUS HYGIENE PRACT &
    WELL-VENTD CNDTNS. AT PROCESSING TEMP S, COMBINED INGS (ELASTOMER &
    OTHER PROCESSING INGS) MAY EMIT FUMES & VAPS THAT CAUSE IRRIT TO
    RESP (EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT.
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: TRACT, EYES &/SKIN. TYPICALLY THESE
    EFTS ARE REVERSIBLE UPON REMOVAL FROM EXPOS & NO LASTING EFTS ARE
    EXPECTED. MOST IMPORTANT, POTENTIAL FOR IRRIT WILL DEPEND ON
    EFFECTIVENESS OF EXHST VENT  PROVIDED TO PROCESS AREA. OVEREXP TO
    DECOMP/COMBUST PRODS WILL CAUSE IRRIT OF RESP TRACT, EYES & SKIN.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:IF IRRIT OCCURS/PERSISTS FROM ANY RTE OF EXPOS, REMOVE
    AFFECTED INDIVIDUAL FROM AREA. CALL MD. PROVIDE PROT BEFORE
    ALLOWING REENTRY. EYE: FLUSH W/RUNNING WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MIN
    WHILE HOLDING EYELID S OPEN. CONSULT MD IF IRRIT PERSISTS. SKIN:
    REMOVE CONTAM CLTHG. WASH SKIN W/SOAP & WATER. NO EFTS REQUIRING
    FIRST AID ARE EXPECTED. INHAL (PROCESSING VAPS/DECOMP PRODS):
    REMOVE AFFECTED (ING 9)

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Extinguishing Media:WATER, ABC DRY CHEM/PROTEIN TYPE AIR FOAMS ARE REC
    MEDIA. ELASTOMERS WOULD BE CONSIDERED "ORDINARY COMBUSTS" (SUP DAT)

    SIGNIFICANT EXPOS TO TOX COMBUST GASES (SUP DAT)
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:MOST ORG SUBSTANCES WHEN IN THE FORM OF A
    LINE DUST/POWDER PRESENT DUST EXPLO HAZ. SPECIAL PREC MUST BE TAKEN
    IF THESE ELASTOMERS ARE GROUND/OTHERWISE (ING 4)

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:SWEEP, SHOVEL, OR VACUUM CRUMBS OR CHUNKS INTO
    CLOSED CONTAINERS FOR REUSE OR DISPOSAL.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:DURING NORM PROCESSING, VIRTUALLY ALL
    ELASTOMERS WILL EMIT FUMES & VAPS WHEN HEATED TO PROCESSING TEMPS.
Other Precautions:CONC & COMPOSITION OF THESE VAPS WILL DEPEND ON
    VARIABLES SUCH AS SPECIFIC FORMULATION & PROCESSING METH & TEMP.
    ALWAYS PROCESS ELASTOMERS UNDER WELL-VENTD CNDTNS & AVOID
    CONTINUED/PRLNG BRTHG OF PROC ESS VAPS. DO NOT STORE/CONSUME (ING
    10)

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:AS SUPPLIED, RESP PROT IS NOT TYPICALLY REQUIRED
    DURING NORM USE & HNDLG OPERATIONS. RESP PROT MAY BE NEEDED IF PROD
    IS GROUND INTO FIRE POWDER/DUST. ABNORM CNDTNS SUCH AS EQUIP
    MALFUNCTION, IMPROPER  EQUIP/PROC/HANGUP/STAGNATION (ING 21)
Ventilation:EFFECTIVE GEN &, IF NEC, LOC EXHST VENT MUST ALWAYS BE
    PROVIDED TO DRAW FUMES/VAPS AWAY FROM WORKERS TO PVNT (ING 23)
Protective Gloves:RUBBER GLOVES.
Eye Protection:ANSI APPRVD CHEM WORKERS GOGGLES .
Other Protective Equipment:ANSI APPRVD EMER EYEWASH & DELUGE SHOWER .
    PROT CLTHG SHOULD BE WORN DURING CLEANUP OPERATIONS TO PVNT SKIN
    CONT.
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER PROCESSING COMPOUND,
    ESPECIALLY BEFORE EATING, SMOKING OR USING TOILET FACILITIES.
Supplemental Safety and Health
EXTING MEDIA:(NFPA DEFINED CLASS A). CARBON DIOXIDE IS GEN NOT REC FOR
    USE ON CLASS A FIRES AS A LACK OF COOLING CAPACITY MAY RSLT IN
    REIGNIT. FIRE FIGHT PROC:FROM ANY SOURCE. IN ENCLSD/POORLY VENTD A
    REAS, WEAR NIOSH APPRVD SCBA DURING CLEANUP IMMED AFTER FIRE AS
    WELL AS DURING ATTACK PHASE OF FIREFIGHTING OPERATIONS.
