confined. Vapors may be heavier than air. May travel long distances
along ground before igniting/flashing back to vapor source. Fine
sprays/mists may be combustible at temperatures below normal flash
point.

SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES
Do not enter fire area without proper protection. See Section 4 -
decomposition products possible. Fight fire from safe
distance/protected location. Heat may build pressure/rupture closed
containers, spreading fire, increasing risk of burns/injuries. Do not
use solid water stream/may spread fire. Use water spraying/fog for
cooling. Avoid frothing/explosion. Avoid direct personal contact with
liquid even after fire is out to prevent potentially serious burns.
Notify authorities if liquid enters sewer/public waters.
07. HEALTH HAZARDS
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
INHALATION
No significant signs or symptoms indicative of any adverse health
hazard are expected to occur at standard conditions due to the low
volatility of this material. However, aerosols, or vapors which may be
generated at elevated processing temperatures, may results in adverse
health effects. Symptoms may include headache, drowsiness, coughing
and shortness of breath.
EYE CONTACT -- PRIMARY ROUTE
Although no appropriate human or animal health effects data are known
to exist, this material is expected to cause slight eye irritation.
Symptoms of irritation may include redness, tearing or excessive
blinking.
SKIN ABSORPTION
Not expected to be a skin absorption hazard.
SKIN IRRITATION -- PRIMARY ROUTE
Although no appropriate human or animal health effects data are known
to exist, this material is expected to be a slight skin irritant.
Symptoms may include slight localized redness or rash and swelling.
INGESTION
Although no appropriate human or animal health effects data is known
to exist, this material is not expected to be an ingestion hazard.

08. PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT / CONTROL MEASURES
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
No occupational exposure standards have been developed for this
material. Where exposure through inhalation may occur from use,
NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection equipment is recommended.
EYE PROTECTION
Eye protection such as chemical splash goggles and/or face shield must
be worn when possibility exists for eye contact due to splashing or
spraying liquid, airborne particles, or vapor. Contact lenses should
not be worn.
SKIN PROTECTION
Depending on the conditions of use, protective gloves, apron, boots,
head and face protection should be worn. This equipment should be
cleaned thoroughly after each use.
Use nitrile or natural rubber gloves/skin protection.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
If handling results in aerosol or vapor generation, local exhaust
ventilation is recommended.
OTHER HYGIENIC PRACTICES
Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available in
the immediate vicinity of any potential exposure.
OTHER WORK PRACTICES
Use good personal hygiene practices. Wash hands before eating,
drinking, smoking, or using toilet facilities. Promptly remove soiled
clothing/wash thoroughly before reuse. Shower after work using plenty
of soap and water.
09. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID
INHALATION
If overcome by exposure, remove victim to fresh air immediately. Give
oxygen or artificial respiration as needed. Obtain emergency medical
attention. Prompt action is essential.
EYE CONTACT
In case of eye contact, immediately rinse with clean water for 20-30
minutes. Retract eyelids often. Obtain emergency medical attention if
pain, blinking, tears or redness persist.
SKIN CONTACT

Product: POLY BD庐 R20LM Revised Date: 04-04-2007
MSDS ID: S-001177 Replaces Date: 01-17-2005
Remove contaminated clothing as needed. Wash skin thoroughly with mild
soap/water. Flush with lukewarm water for 15 minutes. If sticky, use
waterless cleaner first.
INGESTION
Ingestion unlikely. However, if ingested, obtain emergency medical
attention.
EMERGENCY MEDICAL TREATMENT PROCEDURES
Treat symptomatically.
10. SPILL AND DISPOSAL
PRECAUTIONS IF MATERIAL IS SPILLED OR RELEASED
Evacuate/limit access. Prevent flow to sewers/public waters.
Impound/ recover large land spill; soak up small spill. On water,
material insoluble. Contain/minimize dispersion/collect. Report per
regulatory requirements.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHODS
When discarded in its purchased form, this product is not a RCRA
hazardous waste. However, it is the responsibility of the generator
to determine at the time of disposal whether the product meets the
criteria of a hazardous waste. Comply with all applicable federal,
state and local regulations. Waste disposal options include
landfilling solids at permitted sites. Use registered transporters.
Burn concentrated waste in properly designed combustion systems
compatible with highly viscous liquids. Avoid flameouts and assure that
emissions comply with all applicable standards. Wastewater containing
floating polybutadiene resins must not be fed to any biomass unless
floating resin is first removed. Assure that any effluent from
biotreatment complies with all applicable regulations.
11. ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS
HANDLING AND STORAGE PROCEDURES
Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry,
well ventilated area. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flame, and
oxidizing agents. Protect from freezing. If frozen, thaw (without
overheating) and mix before reuse.
If heating is necessary to facilitate material flow during use, use
care to avoid localized overheating, possible degredation and container
overpressure. Avoid spillage of product to prevent highly viscous
material from sticking to and contaminating clothes or shoes.
The shelf-life of this polybutadiene resin is one year from date of
receipt if the product is stored in the original, unopened container

out of direct sunlight at temperatures between 50 and 90F. The
predominant change that occurs during storage is an increase in
viscosity.
DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES
Follow standard plant procedures or supervisor's instructions for
decontamination operations.

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS INFORMATION
No chronic health effects information is available for this product.
However, this product contains trace amounts of 1,3-butadiene which has
been classified as probably carcinogenic to humans by the International
Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). In addition, OSHA has recently
issued a substance specific regulation for 1,3-butadiene. 1,3-
Butadiene is not expected to present a health hazard if this product is
used as supplied at room temperature; however, vapors generated at
elevated processing temperatures may contain very small concentrations
of 1,3-butadiene. Industrial hygiene monitoring should be performed to
rule out exposure to this substance, and appropriate respiratory
protection should be worn during these conditions.

This material also contains trace amounts of 4-vinylcyclohexene (VCH).
High concentrations of VCH (271-677 part per million) have caused eye
and nose irritation, headaches, white blood cell reduction, and
impaired carbohydrate metabolism in some workers. Animal tests have
shown white blood cell reduction and effects in blood circulation upon
repeated inhalation exposures, and kidney toxicity and ovarian effects
at an oral dose (repeated exposure) that produced many animal deaths.
The National Toxicology Program (NTP) conducted a two-year animal study
on the oral effects of VCH which resulted in numerous animal deaths and
an increase in ovarian tumors in female mice. It is believed that mice
have an increased sensitivity to VCH-induced ovarian effects as
demonstrated by their ability to produce a significantly higher rate of
an ovotoxic metabolite. IARC lists VCH as possibly carcinogenic to
humans. The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists
(ACGIH) classifies VCH as an animal carcinogen, causing cancer in test
animals at relatively high doses, and by routes or mechanisms not
considered relevant to worker exposure (i.e., ingestion is not a
primary
route of exposure for workers in an industrial setting). The ACGIH does
list an exposure limit (TLV-TWA) of 0.1 ppm for VCH. Vapors generated
at elevated processing temperatures may contain concentrations of VCH
near the ACGIH TLV. VCH produced no genetic changes in tests using
bacterial cells.
