BUTYL RUBBER BK - 1675N
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
I. PRODUCT AND COMPANY IDENTIFICATION
PRODUCT NAME: BK-1675N
CHEMICAL NAME: Isoprene copolymers
CHEMICAL FAMILY: Isoprene copolymers
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: White to amber rubbery solid.
II. COMPOSITION / INGREDIENTS INFORMATION
Butyl rubber contains moisture, stabilizer (Agidol - 2 or Irganox - 1010) and antiaglomerate
(calcium stearate or zinc stearate). Stabilizer and antiaglomerate are not discharged into the
atmosphere during processing butyl rubber into finished goods.
Stabilizer Agidol -2 is a white crystalline combustible powder. Flash point in the open crucible is
172掳C, ignition point is 208掳C, the standard temperature of spontaneous ignition is 352 0C.
Agidol -2 is permitted for use as a stabilizer of rubber that is used in food industry, in water
pipelines, and children toys production.
Stabilizer Irganox - 1010 is white crystalline combustible powder. Ignition point is 288掳C.
Meets all requirements for use as a stabilizer in rubber that is used in medicine.
Zinc Stearate is white crystalline powder or paste. The standard temperature of spontaneous
ignition is 900掳C. Maximum permissible concentration in work area is 4 mg/m3.
Calcium Stearate is a white powder. The standard temperature of spontaneous ignition is 560掳C.
Maximum permissible concentration in work area is 10 mg/m3.
III. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION AND FIRST AID MEASURES
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
EYE CONTACT: Particulates may scratch eye surfaces and cause irritation.
SKIN CONTACT: No hazard in normal industrial use. Exposure to hot material may cause
thermal burns.
INHALATION: Negligible hazard at ambient temperatures (-18掳C to 38掳C).
INGESTION: No hazard in normal industrial use.
FIRST AID
EYE CONTACT: This product is an inert solid. If in eye, remove as one would any foreign
object.
SKIN CONTACT: For hot product, immediately immerse in or flush the affected area with
large amounts of cold water to dissipate heat. Cover with clean cotton
sheeting or gauze and get prompt medical attention. No attempt should
be made to remove material from the skin or to remove contaminated
clothing, as the damaged flesh can be easily torn.
INHALATION: Using proper respiratory protection, immediately remove the affected
victim from exposure. Administer artificial respiration if breathing is
stopped. Keep at rest. Call for prompt medical attention.
INGESTION: First aid is not applicable.
IV. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES.
FLASHPOINT: >180掳C
FLAMMABLE LIMITS: Not Applicable
AUTOIGNITION TEMP: 560掳C
GENERAL HAZARD: Solid material, may burn at or above flashpoint, and airborne dust
may explode if ignited. If thermally decomposed, flammable gases may
be released. Fire is accompanied by the evolution of dark, acrid smoke
which may cause lachrimation.
FIRE FIGHTING: Use water spray to cool fire exposed surfaces and protect personnel.
Isolate 鈥渇uel鈥? supply to fire. Extinguish the fire by cooling with water
spray. Respiratory and eye protection required for fire personnel.
DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS UNDER FIRE CONDITIONS:
Under oxygen lean conditions, Carbon Monoxide and irritating smoke
may be produced.
V. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
LAND SPILL: Recover spilled material and place in suitable containers for recycle or
disposal. Consult an expert on disposal of recovered material and ensure
conformity to local disposal regulations.
WATER SPILL: Recover spilled material and place in suitable containers for recycle or
disposal. Consult an expert on disposal of recovered material and ensure
conformity to local disposal regulations.
VI. STORAGE AND HANDLING
ELECTROSTATIC ACCUMULATION HAZARD: No.
STORAGE TEMPERATURE, 0C: Ambient
LOADING/UNLOADING TEMPERATURE, 0C: Ambient
STORAGE/TRANSPORT PRESSURE, mmHg: Atmospheric
STORAGE AND HANDLING: This material is not a static accumulator, but use proper
grounding procedures.
VII. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
EXPOSURE CONTROLS: Local exhaust ventilation of process equipment may be needed to
control particulate exposures to below the recommended exposure
limit.
PERSONAL PROTECTION: For open systems at ambient temperatures (-18掳C to 38掳C)
where contact is likely, wear safety glasses. Where contact may occur
with hot material, wear thermal resistant gloves, arm protection, and a
face shield.
PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS:
5 mg/m3 - respirable dust, and 15mg/m3 - total dust.
TWA=10mg/m3 for inhalable particulate (total dust)
TWA=3mg/m3 for respirable particulate (total dust)
VIII. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
STABILITY: Stable
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur
MATERIALS AND CONDITIONS TO AVOID INCOMPATIBILITY: None
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Flammable Hydrocarbons.
