Potential Health Effects

ADDITIONAL HEALTH EFFECTS

HUMAN HEALTH EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE TO VINYLIDENE
FLUORIDE-HEXAFLUOROPROPENE POLYMER:

Skin contact with uncured polymer may cause skin irritation with
discomfort or rash. Significant skin permeation and systemic
toxicity after contact appears unlikely. There are no reports of
human sensitization.

Eye contact with uncured polymer may cause irritation with
discomfort, tearing, or blurring of vision.

Inhalation of fumes from burning polymer may cause temporary lung
irritation effects with cough, discomfort, difficulty breathing,
or shortness of breath. Higher exposures to fumes from burning
material may cause pulmonary edema (body fluid in the lungs) with
cough, wheezing, abnormal lung sounds possibly progressing to
severe shortness of breath and bluish discoloration of the skin.
Symptoms may be delayed. Prompt medical attention is required.

Smokers should avoid contamination of tobacco products with
polymer and should wash their hands before smoking.

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.

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

Flush eyes with plenty of water. Consult a physician if symptoms
persist.

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 : >204 C (>399 F)
Method : Open cup

Fire and Explosion Hazards:

Pellet form may accumulate static charge when poured from one
container to another.

Hazardous gases/vapors produced in fire are hydrogen fluoride
(HF), carbonyl fluoride, carbon monoxide, low molecular weight
fluorocarbons.

Extinguishing Media

Water, Foam, Dry Chemical, CO2.

Material Safety Data Sheet

Fire Fighting Instructions

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear full protective
equipment.

Does not burn without an external flame. Protect from hydrogen
fluoride fumes which react with water to form hydrofluoric acid.
Wear Neoprene gloves when handling refuse from a fire.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
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
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Storage

Store in a cool, dry place. Keep containers tightly closed to
prevent moisture absorption and contamination.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Engineering Controls

VENTILATION Vapors and fumes liberated during hot processing
should be exhausted from work areas to maintain hydrogen fluoride
concentrations below the PEL.

Provide grounding of equipment when handling pellets to prevent
static build-up. Avoid contamination of cigarettes or tobacco
with polymer.

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.

RESPIRATORS

When temperatures exceed 200 degrees C and ventilation is
inadequate to maintain concentrations below exposure limits, use a

Elastomers L.L.C.
VIT007A Page 5
Material Safety Data Sheet

positive pressure air supplied respirator. 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. Do not touch decomposed parts
even when cool. Neoprene gloves recommended.

# Exposure Guidelines

Exposure Limits
"VITON" FLUOROELASTOMERS ALL IN SYNONYM LIST VIT007A
PEL (OSHA) : Particulates (Not Otherwise Regulated)
15 mg/m3, 8 Hr. TWA, total dust
5 mg/m3, 8 Hr. TWA, respirable dust

Other Applicable Exposure Limits
BARIUM SULFATE
PEL (OSHA) : 15 mg/m3, total dust, 8 Hr. TWA
5 mg/m3, respirable dust, 8 Hr. TWA
TLV (ACGIH) : 10 mg/m3, total dust, 8 Hr. TWA
AEL * (DuPont) : 10 mg/m3, 8 & 12 Hr. TWA, total dust
5 mg/m3, 8 & 12 Hr. TWA, respirable dust

* AEL is DuPont's Acceptable Exposure Limit. Where governmentally
imposed occupational exposure limits which are lower than the AEL
are in effect, such limits shall take precedence.

VIT007A Page 6
Material Safety Data Sheet

Incompatible with finely divided metals such as aluminum.
Compounding with metal powders presents an explosion hazard.

Decomposition

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS Hydrogen fluoride (HF) and
perfluoroolefins.

If "VITON" is used or tested at temperatures above 316 degrees C,
the surface of the parts may contain HF or HF condensate, which
may cause severe burns, sometimes with symptoms delayed for
several hours. Wear neoprene or PVC (if temperature is below
melting point of PVC) gloves when handling parts or equipment
after exposure to such high temperatures. If condensate is
expected, wash equipment and parts well with limewater (calcium
hydroxide solution). Discard gloves after handling degraded
"VITON" parts.

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) incineration
with energy recovery, and (3) landfill. The high fuel value of
this product makes option 2 very desirable for material that
cannot be recycled, but incinerator must be capable of scrubbing
out acidic combustion products. Treatment, storage,
transportation, and disposal must be in accordance with applicable
federal, state/provincial, and local regulations.
