Potential Health Effects
ADDITIONAL HEALTH EFFECTS
Before using "NUCREL" High-Performance Adhesive and Sealant
Resins, read the bulletin on the safe handling of these polymers.
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. At processing
temperatures above 325 deg C, 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
If exposed to fumes from overheating or combustion, move to fresh
air. Consult a physician.
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 : NE
Method : NA
Fire and Explosion Hazards:
The solid polymer can be combusted only with difficulty.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS Complete combustion gives carbon
dioxide and water. Incomplete combustion gives, in addition,
carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon oxidation products including
organic acids, aldehydes, and alcohols.
Extinguishing Media
Water, Foam, Dry Chemical, CO2.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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 containers tightly closed to
prevent moisture absorption and 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 or coverall chemical
splash goggles.
RESPIRATORS: Where there is potential for airborne exposures in
excess of applicable limits, wear NIOSH approved respiratory
protection.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Where there is potential for skin contact
have available and wear as appropriate impervious gloves, apron,
pants, and jacket.

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.
