29CFR 1910.1200.
Combustible dust
Label elements
Hazards
May form combustible dust concentrations in air
Precautionary statements

Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking.
Ground/bond container and receiving equipment.
Use explosion-proof electrical/ ventilating/ lighting/ equipment.
Take precautionary measures against static discharge.
Other hazards
no data available
3. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
Skin contact: Wash off with plenty of water. Seek first aid or medical attention as needed. If molten
material comes in contact with the skin, do not apply ice but cool under ice water or running stream of
water. DO NOT attempt to remove the material from skin. Removal could result in severe tissue
damage. Seek medical attention immediately. Suitable emergency safety shower facility should be
immediately available.
Eye contact: Flush eyes thoroughly with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses after the
initial 1-2 minutes and continue flushing for several additional minutes. If effects occur, consult a
physician, preferably an ophthalmologist.
Ingestion: If swallowed, seek medical attention. May cause gastrointestinal blockage. Do not give
laxatives. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed: Aside from the information found
under Description of first aid measures (above) and Indication of immediate medical attention and

special treatment needed (below), any additional important symptoms and effects are described in
Section 11: Toxicology Information.
5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media: Water fog or fine spray. Dry chemical fire extinguishers. Carbon
dioxide fire extinguishers. Foam.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Do not permit dust to accumulate. When suspended in air
dust can pose an explosion hazard. Minimize ignition sources. If dust layers are exposed to elevated
temperatures, spontaneous combustion may occur. Dense smoke is emitted when burned without
sufficient oxygen.
Environmental precautions: Prevent from entering into soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and/or
groundwater. See Section 12, Ecological Information.

Resin
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Contain spilled material if possible.
Sweep up. Collect in suitable and properly labeled containers. See Section 13, Disposal
Considerations, for additional information.
Conditions for safe storage: Store in accordance with good manufacturing practices.
A reaction or decomposition product may be formed during handling or processing which has an
Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL)., Hydrogen chloride may be generated under thermal degradation
conditions.
Exposure controls
Engineering controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain
airborne levels below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure
limit requirements or guidelines, general ventilation should be sufficient for most operations. Local
exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations.

respiratory irritation or discomfort have been experienced, or where indicated by your risk
assessment process. Use an approved air-purifying respirator when vapors are generated at
increased temperatures or when dust or mist is present.
The following should be effective types of air-purifying respirators: When dust/mist are
present use a/an Particulate filter. When combinations of vapors, acids, or dusts/mists are
present use a/an Organic vapor with acid gas cartridge and particulate pre-filter.
NOTE: The physical data presented above are typical values and should not be construed as a
specification.

Resin
Hazardous decomposition products: Decomposition products depend upon temperature, air supply
and the presence of other materials. Processing may release fumes and other decomposition
products. At temperatures exceeding melt temperatures, polymer fragments can be released. Fumes
can be irritating. Decomposition products can include and are not limited to: Aldehydes. Alcohols.
Organic acids. Hydrogen chloride. Decomposition products can include trace amounts of:
Hydrocarbons.
Toxicological information on this product or its components appear in this section when such data is
available.
Acute toxicity
Acute oral toxicity
Very low toxicity if swallowed. Harmful effects not anticipated from swallowing small amounts.
May cause choking if swallowed.

Resin
Skin corrosion/irritation
Prolonged contact is essentially nonirritating to skin.
Mechanical injury only.
Under normal processing conditions, material is heated to elevated temperatures; contact with the
material may cause thermal burns.
Sensitization
No relevant data found.
Carcinogenicity
No relevant data found.
Teratogenicity
For the minor component(s): Did not cause birth defects or any other fetal effects in laboratory
animals.
Reproductive toxicity
For the minor component(s): In animal studies, did not interfere with fertility. In animal studies, did not
interfere with reproduction.
Mutagenicity
For the minor component(s): In vitro genetic toxicity studies were negative.
Aspiration Hazard
Based on physical properties, not likely to be an aspiration hazard.
Ecotoxicological information on this product or its components appear in this section when such data
is available.
Toxicity
Acute toxicity to fish
Not expected to be acutely toxic to aquatic organisms.

Bioaccumulative potential
Bioaccumulation: No bioconcentration is expected because of the relatively high molecular
weight (MW greater than 1000).
Mobility in soil
In the terrestrial environment, material is expected to remain in the soil where it may be
subject to wind dispersion.
In the aquatic environment, material will sink and remain in the sediment.
