FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
This product is a solid (pellet form) at room temperature and is not expected
to be a fire/explosion hazard under conditions of storage and normal use. It
may burn if subjected to high temperatures and may thermally decompose.
Decomposition products (see Section 4 of MSDS) may be irritating or toxic.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Dry chemical
CO2
Foam
Water spray/water fog for cooling containers
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES
Do not enter fire area without proper protection. See Section 4 of MSDS --
Decomposition products possible. Fight fire from safe distance/protected
location. Apply extinguishing media carefully to prevent frothing or steam
explosion. Water spray/fog may be used to cool containers. Avoid contact
with molten product to prevent serious burns. Notify authorities if liquid

07. HEALTH HAZARDS
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE
INHALATION -- PRIMARY ROUTE
This product is supplied as a solid and no significant signs or symptoms
indicative of any adverse health effects are expected to occur at standard
conditions. However, aerosols or vapors generated during processing may cause
respiratory tract irritation. Symptoms of irritation may include sore throat,
coughing and shortness of breath. In addition, vapors or aerosols may induce
and allergic respiratory reaction.
EYE CONTACT -- PRIMARY ROUTE
Although no appropriate human or animal health effects data are known to
exist, this material is expected to cause slight eye irritation.
Symptoms may include redness, slight burning or irritation, tearing, and
excessive blinking.
SKIN ABSORPTION
Although no appropriate human or animal health effects data are known to
exist, this material is not expected to be a health hazard by skin
absorption.
SKIN IRRITATION -- PRIMARY ROUTE
Although no appropriate human or animal health effects data are known to
exist, this material is expected to be a slight skin irritant.
Symptoms may include slight localized redness or rash, dryness, peeling or
flaking of the skin. Contact with molten product may cause thermal burns.
Although no appropriate human or animal health effects data is known to
exist, this material may cause an allergic skin reaction (sensitization) in
susceptible individuals upon repeated exposure.
INGESTION
Although no appropriate human or animal health effects data is known to
exist, this material is not expected to be an ingestion hazard.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
No additional medical information found.
08. PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT / CONTROL MEASURES
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
No special respiratory protection equipment is recommended under standard
conditions with adequate ventilation. However, if aerosols or vapors are
generated during processing, NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection
equipment should be worn.
EYE PROTECTION
Eye protection such as chemical splash goggles and/or face shield must be
worn when possibility exists for eye contact due to splashing or spraying
liquid, airborne particles, or vapor. Contact lenses should not be worn.
