SECTION 4: First aid measures
4.1. Description of first aid measures
Following Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Seek medical attention if cough or other symptoms develop or persist.
Following Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
Following Eye Contact: Treat as any foreign particulate matter. Do not rub eyes. Flush eyes with running water for
several minutes while holding eyelids open. Consult a physician if irritation persists.
Following Ingestion: Normally not needed. If large quantities are ingested or if you feel unwell, call your local
Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222 in the U.S.) or physician.
4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
At processing temperatures, the combined ingredients (elastomer and other processing ingredients) may emit fumes and
vapors that may cause irritation to the eyes. Processing operations may create vapors or fumes which may cause
respiratory tract irritation.

SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
5.1. Extinguishing media
Use extinguishing media suitable for Class A fires (ordinary combustibles). Carbon dioxide is generally not recommended for
use on Class A fires as a lack of cooling capacity may result in reignition.
5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Zetpol 1020 Page 3 of 8

Special precautions must be taken if this product is ground or otherwise formed into a fine powder or dust since many
organic substances in these forms present a dust explosion hazard. Dust in sufficient quantities may be ignited in air.
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Minimize activities which will float or suspend particles in air. Protect from
sources of ignition.
Toxic gases may be formed upon combustion and represent a hazard to firefighters. See Section 10 for information on
combustion products.
5.3. Advice for firefighters
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus operated in pressure-demand mode (NIOSH approved or equivalent)
and full protective gear.

SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
No special requirements.
6.2. Environmental precautions
As with all industrial chemicals, use of good chemical hygiene and environmental stewardship practices is recommended.
6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
With a shovel or scoop place into appropriate containers for reuse, recycle or disposal.
6.4. Reference to other sections Refer to Section 8, Exposure Control/Personal Protection.

SECTION 7: Handling and storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling
Product will emit fumes and vapors when heated to processing temperatures. Use only with adequate ventilation. Do not
breathe (dust, vapor or fumes). Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not eat, drink or smoke in processing areas.
Clean up following normal processing must be performed with adequate ventilation. Elastomer may be held at process
temperatures for a short time without significant thermal degradation. However exposure to elevated temperatures or
excessive time will result in decomposition. Equipment should not be shut down for extended time periods with compound
in it or decomposition may occur.
Processing fume condensates, which may include toxic contaminants, may be combustible and should be periodically
removed from exhaust hoods, ductwork, and other surfaces. Protective clothing and gloves should be worn during cleanup
operations to prevent skin contact (Refer to Section 8, Exposure Controls/Personal Protection).
Combustible dust clouds may be created where operations produce dust. Minimize dust generation and accumulation,
especially on horizontal surfaces and duct work. Handling and processing operations should be conducted in accordance
with NFPA-654 or similar best practices.
Abnormal conditions such as equipment malfunction or using improper equipment or procedures, or hangup or stagnation
of material during processing may cause decomposition. Employees involved in removing decomposing material should be
provided suitable air-supplied respirators, such as an approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus.
Compounding ingredients added to elastomer products may require special handling. It is the users responsibility to follow
the recommended precautions of the individual additive suppliers.
Post-processing operations involving heat sufficient to result in polymer breakdown emitting smoke and fumes should be
conducted in such a manner to avoid inhalation of fumes. Local exhaust ventilation and respiratory protection may be
required.

7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light to maintain quality.

PEL = Permissible Exposure Limit; AL = Action Limit; NE = Not Established; RD = Respirable Dust; STEL = Short Term Exposure Limit; TD =

8.2. Exposure controls
Appropriate
Engineering Controls
All rubber compounding operations commonly produce strong offensive odors. Local exhaust
ventilation is recommended to maintain operator comfort. If user operations generate dust,
fume, or mist, ventilation may be required to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below
the exposure limit(s).
Individual Protection Measures
Eye/Face Protection: Follow facility guidelines in the absence of dusts. Snug fitting chemical goggles should be worn
in dusty work environments.
Skin Protection Use of proper chemical hygiene practices is recommended.
Respiratory Protection Respiratory protection is not typically required during normal use and handling operations
where general dilution or local exhaust ventilation is adequate to control exposures. NIOSH
approved respiratory protection may be needed if vapor or dust is generated during processing
or if the product is ground into a fine powder. Wear a positive pressure air-supplied respirator
in situations where there may be potential for elevated airborne exposure such as during
equipment malfunction, or product hangup or stagnation during processing that may result in
decomposition.
