3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
鈥?
Emergency Overview Slight or no odor.
鈥? Spilled material may create slipping hazard.
鈥? Can burn in a fire creating dense toxic smoke.
鈥? Molten plastic can cause severe thermal burns.
鈥? Fumes produced during melt processing may cause eye,
skin, and respiratory tract irritation. Severe over-exposure
may result in nausea, headache, chills, and fever.
鈥? Secondary operations, such as grinding, sanding, or sawing
can produce dust which may present an explosion or
respiratory hazard.
HMIS Ratings Health: 0 Flammability: 1 Reactivity: 0 PPE = B
Inhalation See Emergency Overview above.
Eye Contact Can cause mechanical irritation if dusts are generated.
Skin Contact Unlikely to cause irritation even on repeated contact.
Ingestion No hazard in normal industrial use.
Skin Absorption No absorption hazard in normal industrial use.
Chronic/Carcinogenicity NTP: Not Tested. OSHA: Not Regulated IARC: Not Listed
Threshold Limit Value No established value. Product is inert.
NOTE: OSHA, IARC and/or NTP have listed carbon black and heavy metals, present in some
colorants, as carcinogens. If these colorants are present in this product, they are shown in SECTION 2.
These colorants are essentially bound to the plastic matrix and are unlikely to contribute to workplace
exposure under recommended processing conditions.
Processing fumes may cause irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. In cases of severe
exposure, nausea and headache can also occur.
Grease-like processing fume condensates on ventilation ductwork, molds, and other surfaces can
cause irritation and injury to skin.
MEDICAL RESTRICTIONS: There are no known human health effects aggravated by exposure to this
product. However, certain sensitive individuals and individuals with respiratory impairments may be
affected by exposure to components in the processing vapors.

4. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation No specific treatment is necessary since this material is not
likely to be hazardous by inhalation.
Skin Contact Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation
develops or persists. For hot product, immediately immerse in
or flush affected area with large amounts of cold water to
dissipate heat. Cover with clean cotton sheeting or gauze and
get prompt medical attention.
Processing Fumes Processing fumes inhalation may be irritating to the
respiratory tract. If symptoms are experienced remove victim
from the source of contamination or move victim to fresh air
and obtain medical advice.
Eye Contact Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. Get medical
attention if irritation develops or persists. After initial flushing,
remove any contact lenses.
Ingestion No hazard in normal industrial use. Do not induce vomiting.
Seek medical attention if symptoms develop.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES & EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
Fire Fighting Instructions Do not enter fire area without proper protection including self-
contained breathing apparatus and full protective equipment.
Fight fire from a safe distance and a protected location due to
the potential of hazardous vapors and decomposition
products..
Extinguishing Media Water spray and foam. Carbon dioxide and dry chemical are
not recommended because their lack of cooling capacity may
permit re-ignition
Conditions of Flammability Requires a continuous flame source to ignite.
Explosion Data Material not sensitive to mechanical impact but is sensitive to
static discharge under dust cloud conditions.
Hazardous Combustion Products Intense heat, smoke, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide,
hydrocarbon fragments hydrogen cyanide.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
General Gather and store in a closed container pending a waste
disposal evaluation. Allow molten material to solidify before
disposal.

7. HANDLING & STORAGE
Handling Follow recommendations on label and in processing guide.
Prevent contact with skin and eyes. Use good industrial
hygiene practices. Provide adequate ventilation. Secondary
operations such as grinding, sanding, or sawing may produce
a dust explosion hazard. use aggressive housekeeping
activities to prevent dust accumulation: employ bonding,
grounding, venting, and explosion relief provisions in
accordance with accepted engineering practices.
Storage Store in a cool dry place. Avoid excessive heat and ignition
sources.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS & PERSONAL PROTECTION
A continuous supply of fresh air to the workplace together with
Engineering Controls
removal of processing fumes through exhaust systems is
recommended. Processing fume condensate may be a fire
hazard and toxic; remove periodically from exhaust hoods,
ductwork, and other surfaces using appropriate personal
protection. Local ventilation requirements must be determined
to limit exposure to processing fumes in the workplace.
Personal Protection:
Respiratory When using this product at elevated temperatures, implement
engineering systems, administrative controls, or a respiratory
protection program (including a respirator approved for
protection from organic vapors, acid gases, and particulate
matter) if processing fumes are not adequately controlled or
operators experience symptoms of overexposure. If dust or
powder are produced from secondary operations such as
sawing or grinding, use a respirator approved for protection
from dust.
Eye/Face Protection Wear safety glasses with side shields or chemical goggles. In
addition, use full-face shield when cleaning processing fume
condensates from hoods, ducts, and other surfaces.
Skin When handling pellets or powder, avoid prolonged or
repeated contact with skin. Wear long pants, long sleeves,
well insulated gloves, and a face shield during melt
processing. Appropriate clothing - including chemical resistant
gloves - should be worn to prevent contact with processing
fumes condensate.

9. PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Physical State Solid
Odor Slight Odor
Melting Point This product does not exhibit a sharp melting point but softens
gradually over a wide range of temperatures.
Vapor Pressure Negligible
Specific Gravity (water = 1) >1
Water Solubility Insoluble
% Volatiles Negligible
Evaporation Rate Negligible
Octanol/Water Partition Coefficient Not Established
10. STABILITY & REACTIVITY
Stability Stable
Reactivity Not reactive under recommended conditions of handling,
storage, processing, and use.
Conditions to Avoid Do not exceed melt temperature recommendations in product
literature. In order to avoid autoignition/hazardous
decomposition of hot thick masses of plastic, purgings should
be collected in small, flat, shapes or thin strands to allow for
rapid cooling. Quench in water. Do not allow product to remain
in barrel at elevated temperatures for extended periods of
time: purge with a general purpose resin. (See Section 8 for
respiratory protection advice.)
Hazardous Decomposition Products Processing fumes evolved at recommended processing
conditions may include trace levels of the following materials:
styrene, acrylonitrile, ethylbenzene, acetaldehyde,
acetophenone, cumene, acrylates, 4-vinylcyclohexene,
phenols, cyclopentanone

11. TOXICOLOGICAL DATA
ACUTE HEALTH HAZARDS
Acute Oral Oral LD50 Rat >5 g/kg Oral toxicity is estimated from tests on
similar materials.
Skin Contact Product not considered primary skin irritant. Draize Skin
Primary Irritation Score (rabbit) for similar products, in finely
divided form, for a 24-hour exposure is 0. Not expected to be
a skin sensitizer based on results of Modified Buehler Guinea
Pig Sensitization Test from similar products.Derma1 LD50
(rabbit) > 2g/kg, estimated.
Eye Contact Product not considered primary eye irritant. When similar
products, in finely divided form, were placed into the eyes of
rabbits, slight transient redness or discharge occurred. This is
consistent with the expected slightly abrasive nature of the
resin particles.
