2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Hazard classification
GHS classification in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.1200
Combustible dust
Label elements
Hazards
If small particles are generated during further processing, handling or by other means, may form
combustible dust concentrations in air.
Other hazards
Slipping hazard.
3. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing; consult a physician.
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.
5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing media
Page 2 of 11
Product name: ELVAX™ 3174 Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Copolymer Issue Date: 05/19/2020
Suitable extinguishing media: Water spray. Alcohol-resistant foam. Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Dry chemical.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Exposure to combustion products may be a hazard to
health.. Product can accumulate electrostatic charges. Static discharge in the presence of
volatile or flammable mixtures presents a potential fire or explosion hazard. . May form
combustible dust concentrations in air (during processing). .
Fire Fighting Procedures: Use water spray to cool unopened containers.. Evacuate area..
Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance
with local regulations..
Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding
environment. Remove undamaged containers from fire area if it is safe to do so.
Special protective equipment for firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for
firefighting if necessary.. Use personal protective equipment..
Environmental precautions: Discharge into the environment must be avoided. Prevent further
leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Retain and dispose of contaminated wash water. Local
authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and
collect in suitable container for disposal. Avoid dispersal of dust in the air (i.e., clearing dust surfaces
with compressed air). Dust deposits should not be allowed to accumulate on surfaces, as these may
form an explosive mixture if they are released into the atmosphere in sufficient concentration. Local or
national regulations may apply to releases and disposal of this material, as well as those materials and
items employed in the cleanup of releases. You will need to determine which regulations are
applicable. Sections 13 and 15 of this SDS provide information regarding certain local or national
requirements.
See sections: 7, 8, 11, 12 and 13.

Conditions for safe storage: Keep in properly labelled containers. Store in accordance with the
particular national regulations.
Do not store with the following product types: Strong oxidizing agents.
Unsuitable materials for containers: None known.
Exposure controls
Engineering controls: Provide general and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne levels
below the exposure guidelines. Local exhaust ventilation is preferred for most operations.

Product name: ELVAX™ 3174 Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Copolymer Issue Date: 05/19/2020
Acute toxicity (represents short term exposures with immediate effects - no chronic/delayed
effects known unless otherwise noted)
Skin corrosion/irritation
Typical for this family of materials.
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
Page 6 of 11
Product name: ELVAX™ 3174 Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Copolymer Issue Date: 05/19/2020
Aspiration Hazard
Based on physical properties, not likely to be an aspiration hazard.
Chronic toxicity (represents longer term exposures with repeated dose resulting in
chronic/delayed effects - no immediate effects known unless otherwise noted)
Carcinogenicity
No relevant data found.
Teratogenicity
No relevant data found.
Reproductive toxicity
No relevant data found.
Mutagenicity
No relevant data found.
General Information
No data is available on the product itself. Toxicity is expected to be low based on insolubility in water.
Toxicity
Acute toxicity to fish
Not expected to be acutely toxic, but material in pellet or bead form may mechanically cause
adverse effects if ingested by waterfowl or aquatic life.
Bioaccumulative potential
Bioaccumulation: No bioconcentration is expected because of the relatively high molecular
weight (MW greater than 1000).
Mobility in soil
