Potential Health Effects
ADDITIONAL HEALTH EFFECTS
Before using DuPont "APPEEL" Resins, read the bulletin on the safe
handling of these polymers.
ACUTE OR IMMEDIATE EFFECTS : ROUTES OF ENTRY AND SYMPTOMS
INGESTION No data are available. Ingestion is not a probable
route of exposure. Based on its similarity with other polymers,
LSR resins are predicted to have low toxicity.
LSR007 DuPont Page 2
Material Safety Data Sheet
(HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION - Continued)
SKIN No data are available. However, based on experience with
handling these polymers, no 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. At processing
temperatures above 238 C (460 F) , fumes irritating to the eyes,
nose and throat may be produced. This exposure may result in
reddening, tearing, and itching of the eyes and soreness in the
nose and throat, together with coughing.
CHRONIC EFFECTS None are known.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE None are known.
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
If exposed to fumes from overheating or combustion, move to fresh
air. Consult a physician if symptoms persist.
SKIN CONTACT
The compound is not likely to be hazardous by skin contact but
cleansing the skin after use is advisable.
If molten material gets on skin, cool rapidly with cold water. Do
not attempt to remove material from skin. Obtain medical treatment
for thermal burn.
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
Flash Point : NA
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 pellets. Grounding of equipment
is recommended.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS Complete combustion gives carbon
dioxide and water. Incomplete combustion gives in addition carbon
monoxide, organic acids, aldehydes and alcohols.
Extinguishing Media
Water, Foam, Dry Chemical, CO2.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Use self-contained breathing apparatus to avoid exposure to
the products of combustion.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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 Safety glasses are recommended as good industrial
hygiene practice.
SKIN Protective gloves and long sleeve shirt are required
when handling hot polymer.
RESPIRATOR Not required if local ventilation is adequate.

Ecotoxicological Information
AQUATIC TOXICITY:
No information is available. Toxicity is expected to be low based
on insolubility in water.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
