# Potential Health Effects
Before using "SURLYN" Resins, read the bulletin 鈥橲afety in
Handling and Use of "SURLYN" Packaging Resins鈥?.
No information available for these "SURLYN" Resins or for
the ethylene copolymer partial metal salts. Based on
similarity to other polymers, these "SURLYN" resins are
predicted to have low toxicity.
INGESTION: Not a probable route of exposure. Toxicity is
predicted to be low for all types but feeding tests have
been conducted only on two sodium ionomers. No pathologic
changes in any organ were seen in 90 day feeding tests with
rats and dogs.
SKIN: No data are available. However, based on experience
with handling these polymers, no unusual dermatitis problem
is expected from routine handling. Molten polymer
contacting the skin will cause thermal burns.
EYE: Mechanical irritation only.
INHALATION: Polymer is not respirable as sold. During melt
processing, fumes irritating to the eyes, nose and throat
may be evolved. Exposure may result in redness, itching and
tearing of the eyes and soreness in the nose and throat
together with coughing.

Carcinogenicity Information
None of the components present in this material at concentrations
equal to or greater than 0.1% are listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA or ACGIH
as a carcinogen.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRST AID MEASURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
First Aid
INHALATION
No specific intervention is indicated as the compound is not
likely to be hazardous by inhalation. Consult a physician if
necessary.
SKIN CONTACT
The compound is not likely to be hazardous by skin contact but
cleansing the skin after use is advisable.
EYE CONTACT
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water
for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician.
INGESTION
No specific intervention is indicated as compound is not likely to
be hazardous by ingestion. Consult a physician if necessary.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Flammable Properties
Fire and Explosion Hazards:
UNUSUAL FIRE, EXPLOSION HAZARDS The solid polymer can be
combusted only with difficulty. An electrostatic charge can
potentially build up when pouring or conveying pellets. Grounding
of equipment is recommended.
Hazardous gases/vapors produced in fire are carbon monoxide,
hydrocarbon oxidation products, including, organic acids,
aldehydes, alcohols, sodium oxides, magnesium oxides,
calcium oxides.
Extinguishing Media
Water, Foam, Dry Chemical, CO2.
SUR001 DuPont Page 4
Material Safety Data Sheet
(FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES - Continued)
# Fire Fighting Instructions
Keep personnel removed and upwind of fire. Wear self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective equipment.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Safeguards (Personnel)
NOTE: Review FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES and HANDLING (PERSONNEL)
sections before proceeding with clean-up. Use appropriate
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT during clean-up.
# Spill Clean Up
Sweep up to avoid slipping hazard.
Recover undamaged and minimally contaminated material for
reclamation.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
HANDLING AND STORAGE
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Handling (Personnel)
See FIRST AID and PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT SECTIONS.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place. Keep container closed to prevent
contamination.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Engineering Controls
Use sufficient ventilation to keep employee exposure below
recommended limits.
VENTILATION When hot processing this material, use local and/or
general exhaust ventilation to control the concentration of vapors
and fumes below exposure limits.
In cutting or grinding operations with this material, use local
exhaust to control the concentration of dust below exposure limits.
Personal Protective Equipment
EYE/FACE PROTECTION
SUR001 DuPont Page 5
Material Safety Data Sheet
(EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION - Continued)
Wear safety glasses. Wear coverall chemical splash goggles and
face shield when possibility exists for eye and face contact due
to splashing or spraying of molten material. A full face mask
respirator provides protection from eye irritation.
RESPIRATORS
A NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator with an organic
vapor cartridge with a dust/mist filter may be permissible under
certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected
to exceed exposure limits. Protection provided by air purifying
respirators is limited. Use a positive pressure air supplied
respirator if there is any potential for an uncontrolled release,
exposure levels are not known, or any other circumstances where
air purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
If there is potential contact with hot/molten material, wear heat
resistant clothing and footwear.

# Conditions to Avoid
Temperatures above 325 C (617 F) .
SUR001 DuPont Page 6
Material Safety Data Sheet
(STABILITY AND REACTIVITY - Continued)
Incompatibility with Other Materials
Incompatible or can react with oxidizing agents.
# Decomposition
Decomposes with heat.
Decomposition temperature: Decomposition is a function of
both processing temperature and time at that temperature.
Decomposition can occur below the recommended processing
temperature limit. Above 325 degrees C, thermal
decomposition of the resin becomes rapid.
Hazardous gases or vapors can be released, including carbon
monoxide, hydrocarbon oxidation products, including, organic
acids, aldehydes, alcohols, sodium oxides, magnesium oxides,
calcium oxides.
Polymerization
Polymerization will not occur.

# Ecotoxicological Information
AQUATIC TOXICITY:
No information is available. Do not discharge to streams, ponds,
lakes or sewers.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Waste Disposal
Preferred options for disposal are (1) recycling, (2) incin-
eration with energy recovery, and (3) landfill. The high fuel
value of this product makes option 2 very desirable for material
that cannot be recycled. Treatment, storage, transportation, and
disposal must be in accordance with applicable federal,
state/provincial, and local regulations.
