Safety data sheet

Carl Kammerling International Limited
Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) Copolymer Material Safety Data Sheet
Eye/face protection: Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk assessment indicates this is
necessary to avoid exposure to product dusts, liquid splashes or mists. Goggles should be worn where eye contact is possible.
Hand protection: Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should
be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is required.
Glove material: cotton or plastic (thermal resistant)
Glove thickness: 0.7 mm or thicker
Break through time: > 240 minutes
Other protective equipment: Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing may be required if used in areas where flammables are
processed.
Respiratory protection: A properly fitted air purifying respirator or air supply respirator should be worn if a risk assessment indicates
that respiratory protection is necessary. Respirator selection must be based upon known or measured levels of exposure.
Environmental exposure controls: Ventilation and engineering controls to protect workers and ventilate work area to at or below
recommended employee exposure levels. Technical measures are preferred over use of personal protective equipment.
Environmental controls, such as scrubber or thermal oxidizer may be required to prevent process releases to the atmosphere.
Do not empty or flush into drains.
