3. Hazards Identification Physical State and Appearance: Solid, colored pellets Emergency Overview: Irritating vapors to respiratory system and eyes may form when product is processed at high temperature. Molten or heated material in skin contact can cause severe burns Routes of Entry: For Hot Material: Skin contact, Eye contact, Inhalation. Potential Chronic Health Effects: Product form makes chronic effects unlikely. Potential Acute Health Effects: Eyes: This product is not known to cause eye irritation. However, as with any chemical, some individuals may experience eye irritation upon contact. Heated Product: Eye contact can cause serious thermal burns. Vapors formed when polymer is heated may be irritating to the eyes. Skin: No known acute effects of this product resulting from skin contact. However, in light of good industrial hygiene, exposure to any chemical should be kept to a minimum. Heated Product: skin contact can cause serious thermal burns. Inhalation: Negligible at room temperature. Nuisance dusts can be irritating to the upper respiratory tract. Heated Product: Irritating vapors may form when the product is processed at high temperatures. Ingestion: No effects are expected for ingestion of small amounts.

First Aid Measures Inhalation: If exposed to fumes from overheating, move to fresh air. If symptoms persist get medical attention. Skin Contact: No known effects for contact with the product in pellet form. Heated Product: Cool rapidly with cold water. Do not attempt to peel the material from skin. For serious burns, get medical attention. Eye Contact: In case of contact with fumes, immediately flush with lukewarm water for a minimum of 5 minutes. Get medical attention if irritated. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Have patient drink water. Get immediate attention or contact a poison control center if symptoms occur after contact with fumes.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Flammability: May be combustible at high temperatures. Auto-ignition temperature: Not available. Flash point: Not available. Flammability limit: Not available. Hazardous combustion products: Smoke and noxious gases carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide evolved upon burning. Extinguishing media: Use carbon dioxide foam, dry chemical and water fog. Cool water spray may be used to flush spills away from exposure. Prevent run off from fire control or dilution from entering streams, sewers, or drinking water supply. Special protective equipment: For fires in enclosed areas, fire fighters must use self-contained breathing apparatus.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Spill or release: Pellets on the floor could present a serious slipping problem. Clean up by vacuuming or sweeping to prevent falls.
7. Handling and Storage
Handling: Handling of plastic may form nuisance dust. Protect personnel. Keep containers closed. Handle in well-ventilated areas. Eating and drinking should be prohibited in areas of storage and use. Storage: Keep container dry at temperature between -100C and + 400C. Ground all equipment containing material. Combustible materials should be stored away from extreme heat or strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, and bases.

Exposure Controls/ Personal Protection Eye: Safety goggles are recommended to prevent particulate matter from entering the eyes. Skin: Heat resistant gloves must be used by the personnel coming in contact with the heated material. Long sleeve cotton shirt and long pants if handling molten polymer. Ventilation: Local exhaust at processing equipment is recommended to control exposure to dust and gases. Respirator: None if ventilation is adequate. Hygienic practices: Wash hands after handling compounds and before eating, using tobacco products or using the washroom. Tobacco and food should be consumed in designated areas only.
