Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYE: PRODUCT MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OR
INJURY DUE TO MECHANICAL ACTION. SKIN: PELLETS NOT LIKELY TO CAUSE
SKIN IRRITATION. INGESTION: NOT ACUTELY TOXIC. INHALATION: PELLET
INHALATION UNLIKELY DUE TO PHY SICAL FORM. MELT PROCESSING HEALTH
EFFECTS: MOLTEN PLASTIC CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS. PROCESSING FUMES
MAY CAUSE IRRITATION TO THE EYES, SKIN AND RESPIRATORY TRACT, AND
IN CASES OF SEVERE OVER-EXPOSURE, NAUSEA AND HEADACHE. GREASE-LIKE
PROCESSING FUME CONDENSATES ON VENTILATION DUCT WORK, MOLDS AND
OTHER SURFACES CAN CAUSE IRRITATION AND INJURY TO SKIN.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOTE: OSHA, IARC AND/OR NTP HAVE LISTED
CARBON BLACK AND HEAVY METALS, PRESENT IN SOME COLORANTS, AS
CARCINOGENS. IF THESE COLORANTS ARE ESSENTIALLY BOUND TO THE
PLASTIC MATRIX AND ARE UNLIKELY TO CON TRIBUETE TO WORKPLACE
EXPOSURE UNDER RECOMMENDED PROCESSING CONDITIONS.
Effects of Overexposure:EYE: PRODUCT MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OR INJURY DUE
TO MECHANICAL ACTION. SKIN: PELLETS NOT LIKELY TO CAUSE SKIN
IRRITATION. INGESTION: NOT ACUTELY TOXIC. INHALATION: PELLET
INHALATION UNLIKELY DUE TO PHY SICAL FORM. MELT PROCESSING HEALTH
EFFECTS: MOLTEN PLASTIC CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS. PROCESSING FUMES
MAY CAUSE IRRITATION TO THE EYES, SKIN AND RESPIRATORY TRACT, AND
IN CASES OF SEVERE OVER-EXPOSURE, NAUSEA AND HEADACHE. GREASE-LIKE
PROCESSING FUME CONDENSATES ON VENTILATION DUCT WORK, MOLDS AND
OTHER SURFACES CAN CAUSE IRRITATION AND INJURY TO SKIN.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:THERE ARE NO KNOWN HUMAN HEALTH
EFFECTS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE. HOWEVER, SENSITIVE INDIVIDUALS AND
INDIVIDUALS WITH RESPIRATORY IMPAIRMENTS MAY BE AFFECTED BY
EXPOSURE TO COMPONETS IN PROCESSING VAPORS.

First Aid:EYES: REMOVE CONTACT LENSES AT ONCE. IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES
WELL WITH COPIOUS QUANTITIES OF WATER OR NORMAL SALINE FOR AT LEAST
20-30 MINUTES. IF IRRITATION PERSISTS, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
SKIN: WAS H SKIN THOROUGHLY WITH SOAP AND WATER. SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION IF RASH OR BURN OCCURS. INGESTION: NOT PROBABLE. IF A
LARGE AMOUNT IS SWALLOWED, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. INHALATION: NOT
LIKELY TO BE INHA LED DUE TO PHYSICAL FORM. MELT PROCESSING: FOR
MOLTEN PLASTIC SKIN CONTACT, COOL RAPIDLY WITH WATER AND
IMMEDIATELY SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. DO NOT ATTEMPT REMOVAL OF
PLASTIC WITHOUT MEDICAL ASSISTANCE .

Autoignition Temp:=630.C, 1166.F
Autoignition Temp Text:ESTIMA
Lower Limits:NOT ESTABLIS
Upper Limits:NOT ESTABLIS
Extinguishing Media:WATER SPRAY AND FOAM. WATER IS THE BEST
EXTINGUISHING MEDIUM. CARBON DIOXIDE & DRY CHEMICAL NOT GENERALLY
RECOMMENDED BECAUSE THEIR LACK OF COOLING CAPACITY MAY PERMIT
RE-IGNITION.
Fire Fighting Procedures:APPROVED PRESSURE DEMAND BREATHING APPARATUS
PREFERRED EXTINGUISHING MEDIUM. THIS PRODUCT WILL MELT BUT WILL NOT
BE CARRIED ON THE SURFACE OF WATER.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NOT SENSITIVE TO MECHANICAL IMPACT. NOT
SENSITIVE TO STATIC DISCHARGE. REQUIRES A CONTINUOUS FLAME SOURCE
TO IGNITE.

Spill Release Procedures:SWEEP OR GATHER UP MATERIAL AND PLACE IN
PROPER CONTAINER FOR DISPOSAL OR RECOVERY.

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A DRY PLACE AWAY FROM
MOISTURE, EXCESSIVE HEAT AND SOURCES OF IGNTION. FOLLOW
RECOMMENDATIONS ON LABEL IN PROCESSING GUIDE. PREVENT CONTACT WITH
SKIN AND EYES. USE GOOD INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE PRA CTICES. PROVIDE
ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
Other Precautions:SECONDARY OPERATIONS SUCH AS GRINDING, SANDING OR
SAWING MAY PRODUCE A DUST EXPLOSION HAZARD. USE AGGRESSIVE
HOUSEKEEPING ACTIVITIES TO PREVENT DUST ACCUMULATION. EMPLOY
BONDING, GROUNDING, VENTING AN D EXPLOSION RELIEF PROVISIONS IN
ACCORDANCE WITH ACCEPTED ENGINEERING PRACTICES.

Respiratory Protection:WHEN PROCESSING FUMES/HAZE ARE NOT ADEQUATELY
CONTROLLED, USE RESPIRATOR APPROVED FOR PROTECTION FROM ORGANIC
VAPORS, ACID GASES AND PARTICULATE MATTER. WHEN DUST OR POWDER FROM
SECONDARY OPERATIONS S UCH AS GRINDING SANDING OR SAWING, ARE NOT
ADEQUATELY CONTROLLED USE RESPIRATOR APPROVED FOR PROTECTION FROM
DUST.
Ventilation:VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS MUST BE LOCALLY DETERMINED TO
LIMIT EXPOSURE TO PROCESSING FUMES IN THE WORKPLACE.
Protective Gloves:CHEMICAL RESISTANT GLOVES
Eye Protection:WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS OR CHEMICAL
GOGGLES.
Other Protective Equipment:USE FULL FACE SHIELD WHEN CLEANING
PROCESSING FUME CONDENSATES FROM HOODS, DUCTS AND OTHER SURFACES.
WHEN MELT PROCESSING PRODUCT WEAR LONG PANTS, LONG SLEEVES, WELL
INSULATED GLOVES/FACE SHIELD.
Work Hygienic Practices:USE APPROPRIATE CLOTHING, INCLUDING CHEMICAL
RESISTANT GLOVES, TO PREVENT ANY CONTACT WITH PROCESSING FUME
CONDENSATES.
