4. FIRST AID MEASURES
___________________________________________________________________________
SKIN: Wash with water and soap.
EYE: Wash with water for 15 minutes. If irritation persists, consult physician.
INHALATION: For inhalation of powder or fumes from molten material, remove to fresh air.
INGESTION: Not expected to occur.
ADVICE TO PHYSICIAN: No specific advice. Treat according to symptoms present.
___________________________________________________________________________
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
___________________________________________________________________________
FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES:
FLASH POINT: > 464掳F (>240掳C)
FLASH POINT METHOD: Open cup.
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: None known.
UPPER FLAME LIMIT (Volume % in air): Not applicable.
LOWER FLAME LIMIT (Volume % in air): Not applicable.
FLAME PROPAGATION RATE (Solids): Unknown.
OSHA FLAMMABILITY CLASS: Combustible solid.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
Carbon dioxide, dry chemical or fine water spray. Avoid water stream on molten burning material as it may scatter and
spread the fire.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
Fire point > 356掳C. Melts in proximity to fires causing slippery floors and stairs. Static charges on powders or powders
in liquids may ignite combustible atmospheres. See NFPA Bulletin 654, 鈥淧revention of Fire and Dust Explosions in the
Chemical, Dye, Pharmaceutical, and Plastics Industries,鈥? for safe handling procedures.
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PRECAUTIONS/INSTRUCTIONS:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus approved by NIOSH. Watch footing on floors and stairs because of possible
melting and spreading of material. Use water spray to keep containers cool.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
IN CASE OF SPILL OR OTHER RELEASES: (Always wear recommended personal protective equipment.)
Remove ignition sources from the powdered grades. Keep away from heat or flame. Sweep up with a minimum of
dusting. Collect in container, e.g. fiberboard drum or carton.
Spills and releases may have to be reported to Federal and/or local authorities. See the Regulatory Information section (#15)
regarding reporting requirements.

___________________________________________________________________________
NORMAL HANDLING:(Always wear recommended personal protective equipment.)
Avoid breathing fumes from heating operations. Avoid spillage which can cause very slippery conditions on floors. Use
good personal hygiene and housekeeping.
STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS:
Avoid excessive heat. Do not store near strong oxidizing agents and amines.
___________________________________________________________________________
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
___________________________________________________________________________
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Use adequate ventilation during heating processes, or if dusty conditions prevail when handling powdered materials. For
storage and ordinary handling, general ventilation is adequate.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
SKIN PROTECTION:
Protective garments, e.g. gloves with long sleeves, when handling molten material.
EYE PROTECTION:
Chemical goggles and/or face shield around molten material and in dusty conditions.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
Use a NIOSH approved dust respirator with powdered grades if dusty conditions prevail. During melting or conveying in
molten state, use an organic vapor respirator.
ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS:
Not generally required.
EXPOSURE GUIDELINES: (Guidelines exist for the following ingredients)
Ingredient Name ACGIH TLV OSHA PEL Other Limit
* No ingredients listed in this section.*
* = Limit established by Honeywell International
** = Workplace Environmental Exposure Level (AIHA)
*** = Biological Exposure Index
Other exposure limits for the decomposition products normally associated with product use are as follows:
Powdered forms may generate nuisance particulates upon handling: ACGIH TLV = 10 mg/m3 of total particulates.
