Hazards
LD50 LC50 Mixture:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ULTRAFORM ITSELF IS HARMLESS. MOLTEN
MATLS CAN CAUSE THERMAL BURNS. IF ULTRAFORM IS SUBJECTED TO
EXCESSIVE HEAT PRIMARY DECOMP PROD IS FORMALDEHYDE, WHICH HAS
PENETRATING ODOR THAT CAN IRRIT EYES & TH ROAT EVEN AT LOW CONCS.
NO ADVERSE EFTSHAVE BEEN OBSERVED IN HNDLG OF ULTRAFORM PROVIDED
THAT (EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ:WORKPLACE IS ADEQUATELY VENTILATED &
NORMAL SAFETY PRACTICES ARE FOLLOWED. IF FORMALDEHYDE IS RELS DUE
TO EXCESSIVE HEATING, STEPS MUST BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT TLV IS NOT
EXCEEDED.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
First Aid
First Aid:EYES:FLUSH W/WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. OBTAIN MEDICAL
ATTENTION IF IRRITATION PERSISTS. SKIN:FLUSH CONTAMINATED SKIN
W/SOAP & WATER. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION PERSISTS.
THERMAL BURNS FROM CONTACT W/MOLTEN MATL SHOULD BE TREATED BY MD.
INHAL:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. OTHER MEASURES ARE USUALLY UNNECESSARY.
OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRIT PERSISTS. INGEST:SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION.
