10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
REACTIVITY:
None known.
CHEMICAL STABILITY:
Stable at normal conditions. Polymerization will not occur.
POSSIBILITY OF HAZARDOUS REACTIONS:
None known.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID:
Temperatures above 150 - 250 °C.
INCOMPATIBILE MATERIALS:
None reasonably foreseeable.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
If heated to 150 - 250 °C during processing, fiber lubricants can degrade and generate
off gases which may contain small amounts of chemicals such as aldehydes, alcohols,
acetic acid, acetone, etc. DAK Americas is not aware of chemicals such as these reaching
concentrations that present serious health hazards. However, information on toxic
effects and recommended exposure limits of these and other chemicals can be found in
the most recent edition of the ACGIH documentation of threshold limit values.
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
INFORMATION ON LIKELY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
Fibers may be inhaled, and come in contact with skin and eyes. If heated to 150 - 250 °C,
thermal decomposition products may be inhaled.
SYMPTOMS RELATED TO PHYSICAL, CHEMICAL AND TOXICOLOGICAL
CHARACTERISTICS:
 Eye contact with loose fibers may cause mechanical irritation with discomfort, tearing,
or blurring of vision.
 Decomposition products (gases, vapors and/or fumes) may cause skin, eye or
respiratory tract irritation, and other adverse health effects.
ACUTE, DELAYED, AND CHRONIC EFFECTS FROM SHORT AND LONG-TERM
EXPOSURE:
Polyester fiber/staple products are coated with lubricants which have been toxicologically
evaluated and found to be generally of a low order of acute oral and inhalation toxicity in
animals and of dermal toxicity in humans. They do not present a significant health
hazard in their normal use.
NUMERICAL MEASURES OF TOXICITY
No information available.
CARCINOGENICITY INFORMATION:
Carbon black and titanium dioxide are listed by IARC as Class 2B Carcinogens. NOTE:
Polyester fiber and staple products have not been classified as carcinogens since carbon
black and titanium dioxide are expected to remain bound within the product matrix
during normal use.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
No toxicity data is available. The product is insoluble in water.
