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.

(FIRST AID MEASURES - Continued)
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
Hazardous gases/vapors produced in fire are carbon monoxide,
hydrocarbon oxidation products, including organic acids,
aldehydes, alcohols, and zinc or sodium oxides.
Fire and Explosion Hazards:
The solid polymer can be combusted only with difficulty.
Extinguishing Media
Water, Foam, Dry Chemical, CO2.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Keep personnel removed and upwind of fire. Wear self-contained
breathing apparatus.
Use self-contained breathing apparatus if exposed to fumes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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
Recover undamaged and minimally contaminated material for reuse
and reclamation.
Sweep up to avoid slipping hazard.

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
VENTILATION: Local ventilation should be used over processing
equipment.
Personal Protective Equipment
EYE/FACE PROTECTION
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 canister 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.
