3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
************************************************************************
* Opaque or colored solid. Odorless. Slipping hazard. *
************************************************************************
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS (See Section 11 for toxicological data.)
EYE: Solid or dust may cause irritation or corneal injury due to
mechanical action.
SKIN: Essentially non-irritating to the skin. Mechanical injury
only. Under normal processing conditions, material is heated to
elevated temperatures; contact with the material may cause
thermal burns. No adverse effects anticipated by skin

absorption.
INGESTION: Low toxicity if swallowed. Harmful effects not
anticipated from swallowing small amounts.
INHALATION: Dust may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract
(nose and throat).
SYSTEMIC (OTHER TARGET ORGAN) EFFECTS: Additives are encapsulated
in the product and are not expected to be released under normal
processing conditions or foreseeable emergency.
CANCER INFORMATION: No relevant information found.
TERATOLOGY (BIRTH DEFECTS): No relevant information found.
REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS: No relevant information found.
4. FIRST AID
EYES: Flush eyes with plenty of water; remove contact lenses
after the first 1-2 minutes then continue flushing for several
minutes. Only mechanical effects expected.
SKIN: If molten material comes in contact with the skin, do not
apply ice but cool under ice water or running stream of water.
DO NOT attempt to remove the material from skin. Removal could
result in severe tissue damage.
INGESTION: No emergency medical treatment necessary.
INHALATION: Move person to fresh air; if effects occur, consult a
physician.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: If burn is present, treat as any thermal burn,
after decontamination. No specific antidote. Treatment of
exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the
clinical condition of the patient.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLAMMABILITY LIMITS
LFL: Not applicable
UFL: Not applicable
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Under fire conditions polymers
decompose. The smoke may contain polymer fragments of varying
compositions in addition to unidentified toxic and/or irritating
compounds. Hazardous combustion products may include and are
not limited to: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide. Hazardous
combustion products may include trace amounts of: styrene,
hydrogen cyanide.
OTHER FLAMMABILITY INFORMATION: Dense smoke is emitted when
burned without sufficient oxygen. Mechanical handling can cause
formation of dusts. To reduce the potential for dust explosion,
do not permit dust to accumulate.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water, carbon dioxide, dry chemical.
FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Keep people away. Isolate fire area
and deny unnecessary entry. Cool surroundings with water
to localize fire zone. Hand held carbon dioxide or dry chemical
extinguishers may be used for small fires. Soak thoroughly
with water to cool and prevent re-ignition.
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE FIGHTERS: Wear positive-pressure
self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective
fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat,
pants, boots, and gloves). If protective equipment is not
available or not used, fight fire from a protected location
or safe distance.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES (See Section 15 for Regulatory
Information)
PROTECT PEOPLE: Spilled material may cause a slipping hazard.
Use appropriate safety equipment. For additional information,
refer to Section 8, Exposure Controls/Personal Protection.
PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT: Prevent from entering into soil,
ditches, sewers, waterways and/or groundwater. See Section 12,
Ecological Information.
CLEANUP: Sweep up. Collect with vacuum equipment. Collect in
suitable and properly labeled containers. See Section 13,
Disposal Considerations for additional information.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
HANDLING: Good housekeeping and controlling dusts are necessary
for safe handling of product. Workers should be protected
from the possibility of contact with molten resin during
fabrication.
STORAGE: Store in a dry place.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Provide general and/or local exhaust
ventilation to control airborne levels below the exposure
guidelines.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
EYE/FACE PROTECTION: Use safety glasses. If there is a
potential for exposure to particles which could cause eye
discomfort, wear chemical goggles.
SKIN PROTECTION: No precautions other than clean body-covering
clothing should be needed. Use gloves with insulation for
thermal protection, when needed.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: In dusty or misty atmospheres, use an
approved particulate respirator.
EXPOSURE GUIDELINE(S): Although some of the additives used in
this product may have exposure guidelines, these additives are
encapsulated in the product and no exposure would be expected
under normal handling conditions.

CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Avoid temperatures above 644F, 340C.
Product can decompose at elevated temperatures.
INCOMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER MATERIALS: None known.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Decomposition products depend
upon temperature, air supply and the presence of other
materials. Processing may release fumes and other decomposition
products. At temperatures exceeding melt temperatures, polymer
fragments can be released. Fumes can be irritating.
Decomposition products can include and are not limited to:
carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, aromatic compounds, hydro-
carbons, phenolics, polymer fragments.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION (See Section 3 for Potential Health
Effects. For detailed toxicological data, write or call the
address or non-emergency number shown in Section 1)
SKIN: The dermal LD50 has not been determined.
INGESTION: Single dose oral LD50 has not been determined.
MUTAGENICITY: No relevant information found.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION (For detailed Ecological data, write or call
the address or non-emergency number shown in Section 1)
ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
MOVEMENT & PARTITIONING: No bioconcentration is expected
because of the relatively high molecular weight (MW>1000). In
the terrestrial environment, material is expected to remain in
the soil. In the aquatic environment, material will sink
and remain in the sediment.
DEGRADATION & PEERSISTENCE: This water insoluble polymeric
solid is expected to be inert in the environment. Surface
photodegradation is expected with exposure to sunlight. No
appreciable biodegradation is expected.
ECOTOXICITY: Not expected to be acutely toxic, but pellets may
mechanically cause adverse effects, if ingested by waterfowl
or aquatic life.
