FUSABOND® E226 resin

Version 2.0

Revision Date 05/13/2015 Ref. 130000021070

If small particles are generated during further processing, handling or by other means, may form combustible
dust concentrations in air.

Processing temperatures that exceed those described in Section 10 (Conditions to Avoid), may evolve fumes
irritating the eyes, nose and throat., Exposure may result in reddening, tears and itching of the eyes and
soreness in the nose and throat, together with coughing.

SECTION 3. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS

This product does not contain any components that require disclosure according to OSHA Hazard Communication
Standard 2012.

SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES

General advice : No applicable data available.

Inhalation : Move to fresh air in case of accidental inhalation of fumes from overheating or
combustion. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Call a physician.

Skin contact : In case of contact, immediately flush eyes or skin with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash
contaminated clothing before reuse. The material is not likely to be hazardous
by skin contact, but cleaning the skin after use is advisable. Cool skin rapidly
with cold water after contact with molten material. Do not attempt to remove
material from the skin. Obtain medical treatment for thermal burn.

Eye contact : In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes. Call a physician.

Ingestion : Not a probable route of exposure. However, in case of accidental ingestion, call
a physician.

Most important : No applicable data available.

SECTION 5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES

Suitable extinguishing media : Water, Foam, Dry chemical, Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Unsuitable extinguishing : No applicable data available.

media

Specific hazards : Material in pellet form may accumulate static charge when poured from one
container to another. Failure or malfunction of temperature control systems on
processing equipment, such as extruders, may create explosion hazards.
Molten polyethylene tends to flow or drip and will propagate fire.
Avoid generating dust; fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations,
and in the presence of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard.
Pneumatic conveying and other mechanical handling operations can generate
combustible dust. To reduce the potential for dust explosions, do not permit
dust to accumulate.

Special protective equipment : Wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).

for firefighters

Further information : The solid polymer can only be burned with difficulty. Evacuate personnel and
keep upwind of fire. Grounding and elimination of the static charge is
recommended.

SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

NOTE: Review FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES and HANDLING (PERSONNEL) sections before proceeding with clean-up.
Use appropriate PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT during clean-up.

Safeguards (Personnel) : Spilled material is a slipping hazard.

Environmental precautions : Do not discharge to streams, ponds, lakes or sewers.

Spill Cleanup : Shovel or sweep up.

Spills of fine material should be cleaned using gentle sweeping or vacuuming.
Cleaning methods (e.g. compressed air) which can generate potentially
combustible dust clouds should not be used.

Accidental Release Measures : No applicable data available.

SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling (Personnel) : Before using, read the Product Data Sheet.
When opening containers, avoid breathing vapours that may be emanating.
Open container only in well-ventilated area.
Pneumatic conveying and other mechanical handling operations can generate
combustible dust. Avoid significant deposits of material which may become
airborne and form combustible dust clouds. Handling and processing
operations should be conducted in accordance with best practices (e.g.NFPA-
654).

Handling (Physical Aspects) : No applicable data available.

Dust explosion class : No applicable data available.
Storage : Keep containers dry and tightly closed to avoid moisture absorption and
contamination. Store in a cool, dry place.

Storage period : No applicable data available.

Storage temperature : No applicable data available.

SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Engineering controls : See Bulletin "Proper Use of Local Exhaust Ventilation During Processing of
Plastics". When hot processing this material, use local and/or general exhaust
ventilation to maintain the concentration of vapors and fumes below exposure
limits. Local exhaust ventilation is preferred. Use static controls. Static
charges can cause explosions in solvent and dust laden atmospheres. Follow
processing recommendations on the product data sheet.

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection : A respiratory protection program that meets country requirements must be
followed whenever workplace conditions warrant respirator use. Consult the
respirator manufacturer to determine the appropriate type of equipment for a
given application. Observe respirator use limitations specified by the
manufacturer.
Consult the OSHA respiratory protection information located at 29CFR
1910.134.

Hand protection : Additional protection: Protective gloves

Eye protection : Wear safety glasses with side shields. Wear tightly fitting chemical splash

goggles and face shield when possibility exists for eye and face contact due
to spattering or splashing of molten material.

Skin and body protection : Where there is potential for skin contact, have available and wear as
appropriate, impervious gloves, apron, pants, jacket, hood and boots.
If there is a potential for contact with hot/molten material wear heat resistant
clothing and footwear.
