SECTION 3 HAZARD IDENTIFICATION

Handling and/or processing of this material may generate dust which may cause mechanical irritation of the eyes,
skin, nose and throat. High dust concentrations have a potential for combustion or explosion.

Potential Health Effects - Routes of Exposure

Skin
No significant irritation expected. Heated material can cause serious thermal burns. At high process temperatures,
fumes may cause irritation of the nose and throat.

Eyes
Possible mechanical irritation may manifest itself as local redness with possible discomfort. Heated material can
cause thermal burns. When heated, vapors formed may irritate eyes. Material is dusty and may scratch surface of
eye.

Inhalation
Exposure to high concentration of airborne particles may cause upper respiratory tract irritation. If heated, the product
may form fumes which could cause irritation of the respiratory tract, coughing, nausea, and shortness of breath.

Ingestion
May cause choking, diarrhea, nausea, or discomfort in the abdominal region.

SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES

Eye Contact
Flush eyes with clean, cold, low-pressure running water for at least 15 minutes. Seek immediate medical attention.

Skin Contact
If molten material contacts skin, immediately flush skin with large amounts of cold water. No attempt should be made
to peel polymer from the skin or to remove clothing attached with molten material. Thermal burns require immediate
medical attention.

Inhalation
Remove victim to well-ventilated area. If not breathing, provide artificial respiration by trained personnel. If difficulty
breathing, provide give oxygen and seek medical attention.

Ingestion
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If large quantities of
this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately.

SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Item Comment
Flammability May be combustible at high temperature.
Combustion can produce carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, and other
Products of Combustion
harmful products.
Material is not explosive as defined by established regulatory
Fire/Explosion Hazards
criteria.
High dust concentrations have potential for combustion or explosion.
Extinguishing Media IN case of fire, use water spray (fog), foam, dry chemical or CO2.
DO NOT use water jet.
Wear NIOSH-approved positive pressure, self-contained breathing
Firefighting Protection
apparatus (SCUBA) and full protective gear.

SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASES MEASURES

Personal Precautions
Eliminate all ignition sources and contain spill. Granules spilled on the floor can cause slipping. Fine dust clouds
may form explosive mixtures with air. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Use suitable protective
equipment.

Environmental and Clean-Up Methods

If emergency personnel are unavailable, vacuum or carefully collect spilled material(s), and place in an appropriate
container for disposal. Recovered material should be packaged, labeled, transported, and disposed of in
conformance to consistent with all applicable laws and regulations. If heated material is spilled, allow to cool before
proceeding with cleanup methods. Avoid creating dusty conditions and prevent wind dispersal. Avoid contact of
spilled material with soil and prevent runoff from entering sewers and waterways.

Personal Protection
Personnel should wear proper safety equipment.

SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling
No smoking. Keep away from open flame or sources of ignition. There is a risk of being splashed with molten
materials. At high temperatures, potentially toxic/irritating fumes may result from heated material - do not inhale
fumes or vapor from molten product. Use with adequate ventilation. When handling hot material, wear protective
gloves, clothing and face shield that are able to withstand the temperature of the molten product. After handling,
always wash hands thoroughly with soap and water. Pneumatic conveying and other mechanical handling can
generate combustible dust and static electrical charges.

Earth all equipment. High dust concentrations have a potential for combustion or explosion. To avoid fire or
explosion, dissipate static electricity during transfer by grounding and bonding containers and equipment before
transferring material.

Storage
Keep container dry, tightly closed, and stored in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact or proximity to strong oxidizing
agents. Pallet stock slippage and forklift truck maneuvers can cause injury. It is recommended that adequate
procedures covering storage handling of pallets are implemented and based on good manufacturing practices.

SECTION 8 PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES

Trait Comment
Physical State Solid
Odor Odorless to faint odor
Color White to translucent to off-white
Specific Gravity 0.905 - 0.980

SECTION 9 STABILITY AND REACTIVITY

Chemical Stability and Reactivity
Stable.

Conditions to avoid
Excessive temperatures, strong oxidizers, and all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame).

Incompatibility
Strong oxidizing materials, fluorine, halogens, benzene, aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons, nitric and perchloric
acids and others.

Decomposition products
Combustion can produce carbon monoxide and/or carbon dioxide and other harmful products. Decomposition can
yield traces amount of hydrocarbons. Degradation products may include, among others, aldehydes, alcohols, and
organic acids.

Hazardous polymerization
Not expected to occur.

SECTION 10 EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION

Control Measures
Use enclosures around process, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below
recommended exposure limits. If high concentrations of airborne matter or fumes are generated, use ventilation to
ensure levels are kept below the exposure limit. Clothing and shoes should be dusted before re-used.

Personal protection

Eyes
Safety glasses with side shields are required as minimum requirements. Use full-face respirator if a high dust
concentration is generated.

Skin
Minimize contact. The use of heat-resistant protective gloves and clothing and face shield is good industrial practice
and recommended.

Respiratory
Product processing may produce dust, vapor or fumes. To minimize risk of overexposure to dust, vapor or fumes it is
recommended to use process enclosures and a local exhaust system, and that the working area is properly
ventilated. If ventilation is inadequate, use certified respirator that will protect against dust/mist. Do not consume
food in the work area.

Hands
Use of heat-resistant protective gloves, clothing and face shield capable of withstanding temperature of molten
product, is good industrial practice. The correct choice of protective gloves depends upon the chemicals being
handled, the conditions of work and use, and the condition of the gloves. Since even the best chemically resistant
glove will break down after repeated chemical exposures, gloves should therefore be chosen in consultation with the
supplier/manufacturer and with a full assessment of the working conditions.

Consult your supervisor or standard operating procedures for special handling directions.

Consult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits.

SECTION 11 TOXOLOGICAL INFORMATION

This product is not considered a “Hazardous Chemical” as defined by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard.

SECTION 12 ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Ecotoxicity
No testing has been performed by the manufacturer.

Bio-degradability
Not inherently biodegradable.

Mobility
This product is expected to float on water, and is not likely to move rapidly with surface or groundwater flows due to
its low water solubility. This material is insoluble in water.

Other Information
Wildlife may ingest pellets or bags. Although not toxic, such materials may obstruct the digestive system.
