7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handle in a well-ventilated area.
It is recommended to install exhaust systems where many printers are used
simulataneously.
Keep away from fire (ignition source) and store at ambient temperature.
Storage:
Protect from water, moisture and direct sunlight and store indoors at ambient
temperature and well-ventilated.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Protective equipment:
Respiratory protection:
Wear appropriate protective equipment to avoid inhalation
or contact of gas generated from high temperature molten
resin.
Hand protection: Wear protective gloves.
It is preferable to wear cotton work gloves or leather
gloves when handling the melted resin.
Eye protection: Wear protective glasses when handling.
Skin and body protection: Wear clothing to avoid direct exposure of skin to molten
resin.
9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Appearance Physical state: Solid (Filament Shape)
Melting point/freezing point: 150 to 180 °C (start melting)
Auto ignition point (ignition point): 388 °C
Combustibility: Product is not self-igniting.
Specific gravity (relative density): 1.15 to 1.35 g/cm
3
Solubility in water: Insoluble
10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Stability (possibility of hazardous reactions):
Largely stable under normal storing/handling
conditions.
As the product is biodegradable, when subjected to
heat, light and humidity it will gradually change
colour and then decompose. Hydrolysis will occur.
During decomposition, carbon hydride, aldehyde,
other hazardous gases can be generated.
Self-reactivity: None
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute toxicity (oral): Rat LD50 > 5,000 mg/kg
Germ cell mutagenicity: AMES Test Negative
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute aquatic environmental hazards:
Fish (Oryzias latipes) LC50 > 100 mg/L
Persistence and Decomposition: Due to the biodegradable nature of the
filament under environmental conditions hydrolosis
and decomposition will occur.
