Carciongenicity: Airborne crystalline silica or carbon black particles of
respirable size are possibly carcinogenic per LARC, known to
be carcinogen per California Prop 65. Exposures are not
expected under normal conditions of foamed polyethelene
products’ intended use.
Symptoms of Over-Exposure: For inhalation of fumes from heated plastic, irritation of
respiratory tract, chest discomfort, dizziness.
Medical Conditions Generally:
Aggravated by Overexposure: None expected
Emergency & First Aid Procedures: If respiratory irritation occurs, remove affected personnel to
fresh air. Obtain medical attention if irritation persists or is
severe. Wash contaminated skin with mild soap and water.
Individuals experiencing skin sensitivity should obtain
medical advice.
Section 7 Exposure Control / Personal Protection
Respiratory Protection: Not normally required.
Gloves: Not normally needed
Eye Protection: Not normally needed, recommended if product is further
processed.
Other Protection: Not normally needed
Ventilation: See recommended ventilation in section 6.
Section 8 Spill and Leak Procedures
Spill or release Measures: No special procedures beyond general maintenance
Disposal Methods: Dispose of in accordance with Federal, State, and Local
regulations.
Section 9 Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
Precautions for Handling:
And Storing: Always store polyethylene foam in well-ventilated areas.
Always keep foam products away from excessive heat and any
sources of ignition such as sparks or flame. Never store foam
in confined areas or sealed-off compartments. Foam scrap or
fabricated parts for disposal should be stored and shipped in
ventilated containers. Whenever possible ship polyethylene
foam in ventilated trailers. When opening doors and unloading
shipments, extinguish all possible sources of ignition such as
matches or lighters. Allow air circulation into trailer for ten
minutes after opening trailer doors before unloading the foam.
Further processing of polyethylene foam products with any
fabrication processes such as slitting, grinding, skiving,
sawing, or die cutting that cuts cells can release residual
flammable blowing agent. A flammable concentration could
accumulate if air is not properly circulated. Humidifiers or
ionized air blowers can be used to reduce the possibility of
static spark.
Grinding equipment and any bins or hoppers should be purged
with a positive airflow to dissipate any build up of blowing
agent gasses. Monitoring systems should be in place to insure
that a concentration of blowing agent gasses. Monitoring
systems should be in place to insure that a concentration of
