POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
Primary Route of Exposure
Eye X Skin X Inhalation X Ingestion
Effects of Overexposure
Acute:
Product may contain residual amounts of dust or small particulates which may cause eye
Eyes:
irritation or abrasion experienced as mild discomfort and slight excess redness of the eye.
Product may contain residual amounts of dust or small particulates that may cause skin
Skin:
irritation or abrasion experienced as local redness with possible mild discomfort.
Dust may cause irritation of the nose and throat. Overexposure to high concentrations of
Inhalation:
dust may cause respiratory irritation, experienced as coughing and difficulty breathing.
Product not volatile at ambient temperatures. Vapors or mist in high concentrations, as
generated from spraying or heating in an enclosed space, may cause minimal irritation.
May cause abdominal discomfort, nausea, and diarrhea.
Ingestion:
Unknown
Sensitization Properties:

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for several minutes. Remove larger particles from the eye as one would any foreign object. Get
medical attention if eye irritation persists or particulates are difficult to remove from the eye.
Skin:
Wash skin with plenty of soap and water for several minutes. Get medical attention if skin irritation develops or persists.
Ingestion:
None considered necessary.
Inhalation:
If irritation, headache, or drowsiness occurs, remove to fresh air.
Other Instructions:
None
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Ignition Temperature - AIT (degrees C):
>400 (>752掳F)
Flash Point (degrees C):
>345 (>653掳F)
Flammable Limits % (Lower-Upper):
Not determined.
Recommended Fire Extinguishing Agents And Special Procedures:
Use water spray, dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide to extinguish flames. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Water
or foam may cause frothing.
Unusual or Explosive Hazards:
Hazardous melting and dripping may occur at elevated temperatures. May burn at or above flash point, and airborne dust may
explode if ignited. See National Fire Protection Prevention Association Bulletin 654, "Dust Explosion Prevention, Plastics
Industry 1975".
Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters:
No special equipment or procedures required.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES (Transportation Spills: CHEMTREC (800)424-9300)
Procedures in Case of Accidental Release, Breakage or Leakage:
Avoid breathing dust. Pressure demand air supplied respirators should always be worn when the airborne concentration of the
contaminant or oxygen is unknown. Otherwise, wear respiratory protection and other personal protective equipment as appropriate for
the potential exposure hazard. Wear gloves, goggles, and protective clothing to avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothing. Use
vacuuming or sweeping compound for clean up. Do not dry sweep or use methods that increase dusting. Prevent entry into sewers
and waterways.
If spilled when molten, allow to solidify. Sweep up released material. Clean up dust or fines with a special industrial vacuum cleaner.
Avoid the generation of dust clouds. Place in appropriate containers for disposal or recycle.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions to be Taken in
Handling:
Practice good housekeeping and clean up spills immediately, as this product can present a serious slipping hazard. The handling of
this product during loading, unloading, and fabrication may generate nuisance dusts. Take necessary precautions to prevent exposure
to these dusts. When unloading bulk vehicles, do not use metal sampling devices, such as a grain thief, due to the risk of static shock
and potential ignition hazards. Pneumatic handling systems, augers, and other unloading devices should be free of contaminants.
Storage:
Periods of exposure to high temperatures should be minimized. Water contamination should be avoided.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Protective Equipment (Type)
Eye/Face Protection:
Safety glasses, chemical type goggles, or face shield recommended to prevent eye contact. Heat resistant face shield recommended
when handling hot material.
Skin Protection:
Protective clothing such as coveralls or lab coats should be worn. Launder or dry-clean when soiled. Gloves and boots resistant to
chemicals and petroleum distillates also recommended. Heat protective clothing should be worn when handling heated materials.
Respiratory Protection:
Airborne concentrations should be kept to lowest levels possible. If vapor, mist or dust is generated and the occupational
exposure limit of the product, or any component of the product, is exceeded, use appropriate NIOSH approved air purifying or
air supplied respirator after determining the airborne concentration of the contaminant. Air supplied respirators should always
be worn when airborne concentration of the contaminant or oxygen content is unknown.
Ventilation:
Local exhaust ventilation recommended if generating vapor, dust, or mist. If exhaust ventilation is not available or inadequate, use
NIOSH approved respirator as appropriate. It is recommended that adequate ventilation be provided at external extrusion points where
the product is at elevated temperatures.
Exposure Limit for the Total Product:
None established for product.

10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
This Material Reacts Violently With:
Strong Oxidizers X
Air Water Heat Others None of these
Comments:
Elevated temperatures should be avoided. Keep material dry. Do not exceed 320-330掳C as stabilization of polymer at elevated
temperatures results in inflammable gases being formed.
Products Evolved When Subjected to Heat or Combustion:
At processing temperatures some degree of thermal degradation will occur. A variety of decomposition products may occur including,
simple hydrocarbons, to toxic and irritating gases such as carbon, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, acids, ketones, and aldehydes.
Some special film grades may also release fluorinated organic substances.
Hazardous Polymerizations:
DO NOT OCCUR
