Protection and Procedures for Firefighters
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. 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.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards
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 monoxide
and carbon dioxide and trace amounts of aromatic hydrocarbons and hydrogen cyanide.

7. Handling and Storage
Handling Practices and Warnings
Good housekeeping and controlling of dusts are necessary for safe handling of product.
Storage Practices and Warnings
(掳C / 掳F). Store in a dry place. Shelf life: 3 years
8. Exposure Control/Personal Protection
Ventilation Other Engineering Controls
Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations. Good general ventilation should be sufficient for most conditions.
Routes of Entry: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for Normal Use: PPE for Emergencies:
Eye/Face Use safety glasses. If there is a potential for exposure to particles which NA
could cause mechanical injury to the eye, wear chemical goggles. If
vapor exposure causes eye discomfort, use a full-face respirator.
Skin No precautions other than clean body-covering clothing should be NA
needed. Use gloves with insulation for thermal protection, when needed.
Inhalation In dusty atmospheres, use an approved dust respirator. For most NA
conditions, no respiratory protection should be needed; however, if
handling at elevated temperatures without sufficient ventilation, use an
approved air-purifying respirator. Exposure guideline (s): None
established.

Ingestion: Single dose oral LD50 has not been determined.
Mutagenicity: No relevant information found.
12. Ecological Information
Toxicity, Environmental Fate, Physical/Chemical Data, or Other Data Supporting Environmental Hazard Statements
Environmental fate: Movement & Partitioning: No bioconcentration is expected because of 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 the sediment.
Degradation & persistence: This water insoluble polymeric solid may be hydrolysable under some environmental conditions. Surface
photodegradation is expected with exposure to sunlight. Biodegradation may occur slowly under aerobic conditions (in the presence of oxygen).
Ecotoxicity: Not expected to be acutely toxic, but pellets, if ingested by waterfowl or aquatic life, may mechanically cause adverse effects.
13. Disposal Considerations
Regulations
Disposal: Do not dump into any sewers, on the ground, or into anybody of water. All disposal methods must be in
compliance with all federal, state/provincial and local laws and regulations. Regulations may vary in different
locations. Waste characterizations and compliance with applicable laws are the responsibility solely of the waste
generator.
