7. Handling and Storage
Handling Practices and Warnings
No adverse health effects are anticipated from the product at room temperature. However, at process temperatures, the product can emit fumes and
vapors, which may cause irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract. Any exposure will depend on processing technique and temperature, volume
processed and the effectiveness of exhaust ventilation provided from the process. Effects of chronic exposure to off-gases at processing
temperatures have not been fully elevated. Generally, flame retardant additives and pigment additives are encapsulated in an impervious plastic
matrix. These additives are not expected to present a hazard. Pellets may build upon static electricity when being transferred from one container to
another. Mechanical handling equipment can cause formation of dusts. Maintain good housekeeping. Dust layers should not be permitted to
accumulate in order to avoid any potential for dust explosion hazards.
Storage Practices and Warnings
Shelf life: 2 years.
8. Exposure Control/Personal Protection
Ventilation Other Engineering Controls
NA Provide sufficient mechanical (general and / or local exhaust) ventilation
to maintain exposure below level of overexposure ( from known,
suspected or apparent adverse effects).
Routes of Entry: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for Normal Use: PPE for Emergencies:
Eye/Face Wear safety glasses in compliance with OSHA regulations. NA
Skin Wear normal clothing covering arms and legs. NA
Inhalation If overexposure has to be determined or documented, a NIOSH/MSHA NA
jointly approved air supplied respirator is advised in absence of proper
environmental control. OSHA regulations also permit other
NIOSH/MSHA respirators under specified conditions. Engineering or
administrative controls should be implemented to reduce exposure.
