4.FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes.
Call a physician immediately.
Skin contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If skin irritation persists,
call a physician. Cool skin rapidly with cold water after contact with hot polymer.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Call a physician immediately.
Ingestion: Drink water as a precaution. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Do not
induce vomiting without medical advice. Call a physician immediately.
Notes to physician: Treat symptomatically.
5.FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability:
Autoignition temperature: 388C
Flammability Limits in Air:
Flammable limits in air - lower (%): Not applicable
Flammable limits in air - upper (%): Not applicable
Suitable extinguishing media: Foam. Water. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Dry chemical. Alcohol resistant
foams are preferred if available. General-purpose synthetic foams (including AFFF) or protein foams may
function, but much less effectively.
Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons: No information available
Hazardous decomposition products: Burning produces obnoxious and toxic fumes Aldehydes
Carbon monoxide (CO) carbon dioxide (CO2)
Special protective equipment for firefighters: As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
Under fire conditions: Cool containers / tanks with spray water. Water mist may be used to cool
closed containers.
Other information: Fine dust dispersed in air may ignite. Risks of ignition followed by flame propagation
or secondary explosions shall be prevented by avoiding accumulation of dust, e.g. on floors and ledges.
6.ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions: Use personal protective equipment. See Section 8. Remove all sources of ignition.
Avoid dust formation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Sweep up to prevent slipping hazard.
Environmental precautions: Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Do not allow material
to contaminate ground water system.
Methods for cleaning up: Shovel into suitable container for disposal.
7.HANDLING AND STORAGE
Safe handling advice: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid dust formation. Workers should be protected
from the possibility of contact with molten material during fabrication. Low hazard for usual industrial or
commercial handling. Use personal protective equipment. See Section 8.
Storage:
Store in cool place. Keep at temperatures below 122F (50 °C).
No special restrictions on storage with other products
Precautions: No special precautions required
