This product is not considered a hazardous material by
Raintree Essix according to the U.S occupational safety and
health act definitions and regulation including the hazard
communication standard 29CFR 1910.1200. Raintree Essix
does not contain consider this product a controlled substance
according to Canada鈥檚 WHMIS regulations.
Threshold limit value (TLV) or permissible exposure limit
(PEL) values are not established. This material is not
expected to cause physiologic impairment at low
concentration. Until a specific TLV is adopted by ACGIH
(American conference of government hygienists) , or an
OSHA PEL standard is issued, raintree essix suggest that this
material be treated as a nuisance dust or particle in
accordance with the recommendations of ACGIH.
3. Hazard Identification
Emergency Overview
Physical appearance: Translucent to white solid pellets.
Immediate concerns:Spilled material may present a slipping hazard. This product as shipped is not classified as a combustible dust however, a
combustible concentration of dust may occur if fines are suspended in air. Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents. When working with the
material at elevated temperatures, the material will begin to decompose producing fames that can contain carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide,
ketones, acrolein, aldehydes and other unidentifiable organic compounds that come from the breakdown of the material. Adequate room and extrude
ventilation should be provided to minimize exposure.
WARNING AUTION LABELS: Burn risk-Avoid contact with molten resin. Explosion risk- Prevent accumulation of dust particles. Slipping risk-
Keep walking surfaces free of spilled material. Vapor risk- Provide ventilation to avoid exposure to process vapors. Physical hazards: Spilled
material may present a slipping hazard. Health hazards: None known.
