______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
If dust is generated, it could scratch the eyes and cause minor irritation to the respiratory tract. When heated,
the vapour/fumes given off may cause respiratory tract irritation.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
No significant hazards.
* All concentrations are percent by weight unless ingredient is a gas. Gas concentrations are in percent by volume.
SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION
At ambient/normal handling temperatures, no adverse effects due to inhalation of dust are expected. In case
of adverse exposure to vapours and / or aerosols formed at elevated temperatures, immediately remove the
affected victim from exposure. Administer artificial respiration if breathing is stopped. Keep at rest.
SKIN CONTACT

Prevent run-off from fire control or dilution from entering streams, sewers or drinking water supply. Fire-
fighters should use standard protective equipment and in enclosed spaces, self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA). Use water spray to cool fire exposed surfaces and to protect personnel.
Unusual Fire Hazards: Explosion: Avoid generating dust; fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentration
and in the presence of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard. Hydrogen fluoride, a corrosive
and toxic gas, and other potentially hazardous fluorine-containing compounds may be released upon
combustion.
FLAMMABILITY PROPERTIES
Flash Point [Method]: N/A
Flammable Limits (Approximate volume % in air): LEL: N/D UEL: N/D
Autoignition Temperature: N/A
NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES
In the event of a spill or accidental release, notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable
regulations.
PROTECTIVE MEASURES
Avoid contact with spilled material. Dust Deposits should not be allowed to accumulate on surfaces, as these
may form an explosive mixture if they are released into the atmosphere in sufficient concentration. Avoid
dispersal of dust in the air (for example, clearing dust surfaces with compressed air). Prevent dust exposure to
ignition sources. For example, use non-sparking tools and prohibit smoking, flares, sparks or flames in
immediate area. See Section 5 for fire fighting information. See the Hazard Identification Section for
Significant Hazards. See Section 4 for First Aid Advice. See Section 8 for advice on the minimum
requirements for personal protective equipment. Additional protective measures may be necessary, depending
on the specific circumstances and/or the expert judgment of the emergency responders.
SPILL MANAGEMENT
Land Spill: Spilled pellets present a slipping hazard on hard surfaces. Prevent dust cloud. Small Dry
Spills: With clean shovel, place material into clean, dry container and cover loosely; move containers from spill
area.
Water Spill: Stop leak if you can do so without risk. Confine the spill immediately with booms. Warn other
shipping. Skim from surface
Water spill and land spill recommendations are based on the most likely spill scenario for this material;
however, geographic conditions, wind, temperature, (and in the case of a water spill) wave and current direction
and speed may greatly influence the appropriate action to be taken. For this reason, local experts should be
consulted. Note: Local regulations may prescribe or limit action to be taken.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. For Large Spills: Cover spill with plastic
sheet or tarpaulin to minimise spreading.

SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Routine housekeeping should be instituted to ensure that dusts
do not accumulate on surfaces. Dust from material can accumulate electrostatic charges due to friction from
transfer and mixing operations and cause an electrical spark (ignition source). Provide adequate precautions
to ignition sources, such as electrical grounding and bonding, inert atmosphere or non-sparking tools. However,
bonding and grounds may not eliminate the hazard for static accumulation. Consult local applicable standards
for guidance. Refer to NFPA 654, Standard for the Prevention of Fire and Dust Explosions from the
Manufacturing, Processing, and Handling of Combustible Particulate Solids and EN 61241, Electrical Apparatus
for Use in the Presence of Combustible Dust for safe handling. Avoid elevated temperatures for prolonged
periods of time. Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area).
Prevent small spills and leakage to avoid slip hazard. DO NOT handle, store or open near an open flame,
sources of heat or sources of ignition. Protect material from direct sunlight. Care should be taken when storing
and handling this product. Apart from the specific nature of the polymer product, conditions such as humidity,
sunlight and temperature have an influence on the way the product behaves during storage and handling.
Special attention should be paid to avoid inappropriate stacking of palletised bags or other package units.
Indeed, polymer products may be dimensionally unstable under certain conditions. Avoid conditions
generating heat during transfer operations.
STORAGE
The type of container used to store the material may affect static accumulation and dissipation. Store in a
cool, dry place with adequate ventilation. Keep away from incompatible materials, open flames and high
temperatures. Do not store in open or unlabelled containers.
Storage Temperature: [Ambient]
Storage Pressure: [Ambient]
Suitable Containers/Packing: Bulk Containers; Drums; Bags; Boxes; Hopper Cars; Octatainer; Silos
Suitable Materials and Coatings (Chemical Compatibility): Polyethylene; Aluminium
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Exposure limits/standards for materials that can be formed when handling this product: For dusty conditions,
ACGIH recommends for insoluble and poorly soluble particles not otherwise specified an 8-hour TWA of 10 mg/m3
(inhalable particles), 3 mg/m3 (respirable particles). May contain cristobalite, a form of crystalline silica, as an additive
that is encapsulated in the polymer. Inhaled crystalline silica in an occupational environment is recognized as a
known human carcinogen. However, the potential for release of silica to the air when this polymer is handled has been
assessed and the encapsulated silica within the polymer is not expected to pose a health hazard when processed under
normal conditions of use.
Biological limits
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary depending upon potential exposure conditions.
Control measures to consider:
Adequate ventilation should be provided so that exposure limits are not exceeded. SPECIAL
PRECAUTIONS: Should significant vapors/fumes be generated during thermal processing of this
product, it is recommended that work stations be monitored for the presence of thermal degradation by-
products which may evolve at elevated temperatures (for example, oxygenated components).
Processors of this product should assure that adequate ventilation or other controls are used to control
exposure. It is recommended that the current ACGIH-TLVs for thermal degradation by-products be
observed. Contact your local sales representative for further information. It is recommended that all
dust control equipment such as local exhaust ventilation and material transport systems involved in
handling of this product are designed and maintained to minimize dust generation and accumulation.
Ensure that dust-handling systems (such as exhaust ducts, dusts collectors, vessels, and processing
equipment) are designed to minimize the potential for dust ignition and prevent explosion propagation.
For example, use explosion relief vents, an explosion suppression system or inert equipment internals.
Additional examples of proper equipment include using only appropriately classified electrical
equipment and powered industrial trucks.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
Personal protective equipment selections vary based on potential exposure conditions such as applications,
handling practices, concentration and ventilation. Information on the selection of protective equipment for use
with this material, as provided below, is based upon intended, normal usage.
For high airborne concentrations, use an approved supplied-air respirator, operated in positive pressure mode.
Supplied air respirators with an escape bottle may be appropriate when oxygen levels are inadequate,
gas/vapour warning properties are poor, or if air purifying filter capacity/rating may be exceeded.
