BURNS. SKIN CONTACT: MOLTEN MATERIAL MAY CAUSE THERMAL BURNS.
INGESTION: NONE. INHALATION: COMBUSTION PRODUCTS MAY BE TOXIC.
OVERHEATING THE PRODUCTTO CH ARING OR BURNING: VAPORSMAY CAUSE EYE
SKIN, NOSE AND THROAT IRRITATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH PRE-EXISTING EYE,
SKIN, OR RESPIRATORY DISORDERS ( ASTHMA CONDITIONS) MAY BE MORE
SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE VAPORS GENERATED FROM OVERHEATING TO CHARRING OR
BURNING OF THIS PRODUCT.

First Aid:EYES: IF IRRITATION OCCURS, HOLD EYELIDS APART AND FLUSH
WITH WATER. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: FIRST AID NOT NORMALLY

Spill Release Procedures:SWEEP UP AND COLLECT IN SUITABLE CONTAINER FOR
DISPOSAL OR REUSE.

Handling and Storage Precautions:HANDLING: FOR PRODUCTS CONTAINING A
THERMOCHROMIC TEMPERATURE INDICATOR, DISCONTINUE HEATING AFTER
COLOR CHANGES FROM RED TO COLORLESS. AVOID VAPORS GIVEN OFF IF
PRODUCT IS HEATED TO DECOMPOSITION, AS SHOWN BY A DARKENING AND
BROWNING OF THE SLEEVE. AVOID CONTACT (CONTD. SEE "OTHER
PRECAUTIONS")
Other Precautions:(CONTD. FROM "HANDLING") WITH MOLTEN MATERIAL.
HEAT-RESISTANT GLOVES ARE REQUIRED IF HOT PRODUCTS ARE HANDLED
AFTER INSTALLATION. DO NOT CONSUME FOOD, BEVERAGES OR TOBACCO IN
THE IMMEDIATE WORK AREA. WASH HANDS BEFORE EATING, DRINKING, OR
SMOKING. OTHER PRECAUTIONS: AVOID HEATING PRODUCTS (CONTD. SE E
"TOXICOLOGICAL")

Respiratory Protection:IF INSTALLATION OCCURS IN A CONFINED,
UNVENTILATED AREA, NIOSH/MSHA-APPROVED RESPIRATORS ARE RECOMMENDED.
Ventilation:IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOOD INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE PRACTICE, ENSURE
ADEQUATE VENTILATION DURING INSTALLATION.
Protective Gloves:HEAT RESISTANT GLOVES IF DANGER OFCONTACTING MOLTEN
MATERIAL.(CONTD.SEE SUPPL.)
Eye Protection:EYE / FACE PROTECTION; FOLLOW OSHA, ANSI, OR NIOSH
GUIDELINES.
Other Protective Equipment:IF IT IS NECESSARY TO HANDLE GROSSLY
OVERHEADED OR FIRE-DAMAGED PRODUCTS, WEAR NATURAL RUBBER GLOVES TO
PREVENT POSSIBLE CONTACT WITH POTENTIALLY CORROSIVE INORGANIC ACID
RESIDUES.
Work Hygienic Practices:AVOID CONTACT WITH MOLTEN MATERIAL. DO NOT
CONSUME FOOD, BEVERAGES, OR TOBACCO IN IMMEDIATE WORK AREA. WASH
HANDS BEFORE EATING, DRINKING, OR SMOKING.
