The ROHACRYL™ products are used as core material for sandwich structures.
The Foam Plastic is manufactured on the basis of polyacrylate.
Hazards identification
This product is not classified according to CLP (EG 1272/2008); it is an article.

No particular hazards are known with its correct and appropriate use.
First Aid Measures
After contact with the eyes and if mechanical irritation occurs it is recommended
to flush eyes thoroughly with a large amount of water and to consult a physician
if irritation persists. Mechanical irritations are possible during machining
processes.
Fire-fighting Measures
Suitable extinguishing media are foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, water
spray. A full water jet is an unsuitable extinguishing media for safety reasons.
As special protective equipment for fire fighting, wear a self-contained breathing
apparatus.
Accidental Release Measures
Dispose of in accordance with regulations.
Handling and Storage
During thermal processing and/or machining, local exhaust ventilation at

processing machines is necessary.

Exposure Controls
During processing, dust can be produced. Particles may affect the respiratory
system. In the EEU for dust and particulates Occupational Exposure Values
exist which require monitoring. If they are obeyed the adverse health effects are
minimized.
The Occupational Exposure Value WEL (long-term) for inhalable dust or

particulates is 10 mg/m³, the WEL for respirable dust is 4 mg/m³. The values are
average values. Deviations from the average values have to be limited to the
double to avoid local irritations. In addition the 8h mean value have to be
obeyed.
An exposure protection program or applicable federal/provincial requirements

must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant exposure control.
Personal Protection
Follow the usual good standards of occupational hygiene.

Respiratory protection
Dust mask will be required for machining or shaping operations.
Hand protection
Wear protective gloves against mechanical risks according to EN 388 or OSHA
1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2.
Gloves should be replaced regularly, especially after extended contact with the
product. For each work-place a suitable glove type has to be selected.
Eye protection
Use goggles for machining or shaping ROHACRYL™

The waste is non-hazardous. It should be disposed of in accordance with the

regulations after consultation with the competent local authorities and the
disposal company in a suitable and licensed facility.
Code of waste EWC: 12 01 05
Wastes from shaping and physical and mechanical surface treatment of metals
and plastics – plastic shavings and turnings.
