Product Identification
This product is comprised of a co-polyester.
Hazardous Ingredients
None as defined under the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, 29CFR1910.1200 or S.A.R.A. Title
III, Section 313. This material is considered an article under OSHA and TSCA standards. Low levels of
acetaldehyde (CAS# 75-07-0) are present in the film. Under normal use conditions, release would be well
below OSHA limits.
Established exposure limits for acetaldehyde are:
ACGIH TLV = 25 ppm (ceiling)
OSHA PEL = 200 ppm TWA
Physical-Chemical Data
The clear, odorless film is chemically stable and resistant to attack by oils, solvents, weak acids and weak
alkalis. The film softens above 100掳C. It has a specific gravity of greater than 1.
Physical Hazards
Heavy gauges of co-polyester film can contain sharp edges. Proper protective gear, such as gloves, is
recommended.
Unwinding, winding and passage of co-polyester film through and over rollers will tend to generate a
strong electrostatic charge on the web. Static discharge devices should be properly positioned at such
points to eliminate the charge and to prevent uncontrolled discharge from the web. This is particularly
required in potentially explosive atmospheres and to protect personnel from the effect of a static
discharge. Certain antistat grades are available.
Health Hazard Data
No adverse health effects have been attributed to co-polyester film.

Control Measures and Safe Handling Procedures
The film will burn if exposed to flame. Fire fighters should protect themselves from decomposition and
combustion products that may include acetaldehyde, carbon monoxide and other toxic gases. Wear self-
contained breathing apparatus and complete personal protective equipment when potential for exposure to
products of combustion exists. Fire fighting extinguishing media include carbon dioxide, water spray,
foam or dry chemical.
If the film could be subjected to conditions releasing acetaldehyde, then adequate ventilation should be
used to stay below the TLV, or self-contained breathing apparatus should be used.
