4. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation Move person to fresh air if effects occur. Consult a
physician.
Skin Contact If molten material comes in contact with skin, do not apply
ice. Cool skin under ice water or running water. DO NOT
attempt to remove the material from skin. Removal could
result in severe tissue damage.
Skin Absorption Skin absorption is unlikely due to physical properties
Eye Contact Flush eyes with plenty of water. Remove contact lenses
after the first 1-2 minutes then continue flushing for
several minutes. Only mechanical effects expected.
Ingestion No emergency medical treatment necessary
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES & EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
Flash Point None
Method Used Not applicable
Flammability Limits: LFL, UFL Not applicable
Autoignition Temperature Not applicable
Extinguishing Media Water, fog, foam, alcohol resistant foam, CO2, dry
chemical
Special Fire-Fighting Procedures Wear a positive pressure self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) and fire fighting clothing and helmet
Unusual Fire and Explosion Dense smoke emitted when burned without sufficient
Hazards oxygen
Hazardous Decomposition During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in
Products addition to combustion products of varying composition
products, which may be toxic and/or irritating.
Combustion products may include and are not limited to
carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides.
Combustion products may include trace amounts of
styrene and hydrogen cyanide.
Fire Fighting Instructions Keep people away from fire. Isolate fire area and deny
unnecessary entry. If material is molten, do not apply
direct water stream. Use fine water, spray, or foam. Soak
thoroughly with water to cool and prevent re-ignition. Cool
surroundings with water to localize fire zone. Hand held
dry chemical or carbon dioxide extinguishers may be
used for small fires.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
General Protect people and the environment by keeping filament
in appropriate locations
Specific Sweep 鈥渋nert鈥? filament and dispose of properly. Avoid the
generation of dust in the area.
7. HANDLING & STORAGE
Handling Keep material dry and avoid temperatures over 70掳C
Those handling molten resin during fabrication should be
protected from possible contact.
Storage Store in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep container
tightly closed.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS & PERSONAL PROTECTION
Although some of the additives used in this product may have exposure guidelines, these
additives are encapsulated in the product and no exposure would be expected under normal
handling conditions.
Ventilation Provide local exhaust ventilation where heat can cause
polymer breakdown, e.g. extrusion, molding and where
there is a need to draw dusts and fumes from worker
breathing zones.
Respiratory For conditions where exposure to dust and fumes is
apparent, an NIOSH approved respirator for dust mists
and fumes appropriate to the airborne concentration may
be worn. Where vapors are generated, an NIOSH
approved organic respirator suitable to the airborne
concentrations is recommended.
Eye Protection Safety glasses with side shields are recommended for
any type of handling. Dust-tight goggles are
recommended for dusty operations of areas where vapors
accumulate.
Skin No precautions other than clean body-covering clothing
should be used. Use gloves for insulation for thermal
protection, when needed.

gases
Hazardous Polymerization Will not occur
Incompatibility Oxidizing materials
Hazardous Thermal Decomposition products depend upon temperature, air
Decomposition Products supply, and the presence of other materials. At
temperatures exceeding melt temperatures, polymer
fragments can be released. Fumes can be irritating.
11. TOXICOLOGICAL DATA
Acute Oral No data available. Not expected to be harmful.
Acute Dermal No data available. Not expected to be harmful.
Acute Inhalation No data available. Not expected to be harmful.

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Movement and Partitioning No bioconcentration is expected because of the relatively
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 in
the sediment.
Degradation and Persistence This water insoluble polymeric solid is expected to be
inert in the environment. Surface photodegradation is
expected with exposure to sunlight. No appreciable
biodegradation is expected.
Ecotoxicity Not expected to be acutely toxic, but material may
mechanically cause adverse effects if ingested by
waterfowl or aquatic life.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
DO NOT dump into any sewers, on the ground, or into any body of water. Disposal of wastes and
used containers must be in accordance with applicable federal, state and local regulations.
Regulations may vary in different locations. Waste characterizations and compliance with
applicable laws are the responsibility solely of the waste generator. Stratasys Inc. has no control
