Keep bags always closed / Keep container lightly closed
Avoid pellets / bags from getting wet
b. Storage Keep bags / containers in a well-ventilated place
Avoid pellets / bags from getting wet
8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
a. Engineering Controls Good general ventilation should be sufficient for most conditions.
Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations
b. Personal Protective Equipment
鈥? Eye / Face Protection Use safety glasses. If the is a potential for exposure to particles which
Could cause mechanical injury to the eye, wear chemical goggles
鈥? Skin Protection No Precautions other than clean body-covering clothing should be needed
鈥? Respiratory Protection For most conditions, no respiratory protection should be needed ; however,
If handling at elevated temperatures without sufficient ventilation, use an
approved air-purifying respirator. In dusty atmospheres, use an approved
dust respirator

11. Toxicological Information
See Section 3 for Potential Health Effects. For detailed toxicological data, Write or call the address
or phone number shown in Section 1.
12. Ecological Information
a. Environmental Fate
No bioconcentration is expected because of the high molecular
鈥? Movement & Partitioning
weight (MW>1000). In the terrestrial environment,
material is expected to remain in the soil. In the aquatic environment,
material will sink and remain in the sediment.
This water insoluble polymeric solid is expected to the inert in the
鈥? Degradation & Persistence
environment. Surface degradation is expected with exposure to
sunlight. No appreciable biodegradation is expected.
b. Ecotoxicity Not Expected to be acutely toxic, but pellets, if ingested by waterfowl
or aquatic life, may mechanically cause adverse effects.
13. Disposal Considerations
Disposal : Do not Dump into any sewers, on the ground, or into any body of water.
All disposal methods must be in compliance with all Federal, State/Provincial and local laws and
regulations. Regulations may vary in different locations. Waste characterizations and compliance with
appliance laws are the responsibility solely of the waste generator.
For unused & uncontaminated product, the preferred options include sending to a licensed, permitted
: recycler, reclaimer, incinerator or other thermal destruction device.
