Handling and Disposal
*
Spill Release Procedures: PROTECT PEOPLE: PELLETS OR BEADS MAY PRESENT A
  SLIPPING HAZARD. PROTECT ENVIRONMENT: KEEP OUT OF IRRIGATION DITCHES, SEWERS,
  AND WATER SUPPLIES. SPILLS SHOULD BE COLLECTED TO PREVENT CONTAMINATION OF 
  WATERWAYS. CLEANUP: SWEEP UP.
Neutralizing Agent: NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Waste Disposal Methods: DO NOT PUMP INTO ANY SEWERS, ON GROUND/INTO ANY BODY OF
  WATER. ALL DISP METHS MUST BE IN COMPLIANCE W/ALL FED, STATE & LOC LAWS
  & REGS. REGS MAY VARY IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. WASTE CHARACTERIZATIONS
  &  COMPLIANCE W/APPLIC LAWS ARE THE 
Handling And Storage Precautions: WORKERS SHOULD BE PROTECTED FROM POSS OF CONT
  W/MOLTEN RESIN DURING FABRICATION. MECH HNDLG EQUIP CAN CAUSE FORM OF DUSTS.
  MAINTAIN GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
Other Precautions: DUST LAYERS SHOULD NOT BE PERMITTED TO ACCUM IN ORDER TO
  AVOID ANY POTENTIAL FOR DUST EXPLO HAZS. I/A/W GOOD MFR PRACT, GOOD GEN VENT
  OF POLYMER PROCESSING AREA IS REC. AT TEMPS EXCEEDING MELT TEMP PO LYMER
  DECOMP CAN OCCUR.

Extinguishing Media: WATER, CARBON DIOXIDE, DRY CHEMICAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures: WEAR NIOSH APPROVED SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE
  EQUIPMENT (FP N). SOAK THOROUGHLY WITH WATER TO COOL AND PREVENT REIGNITION.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard: DENSE SMOKE IS EMITTED WHEN BURNED W/OUT
  SUFFICIENT OXYGEN. MECH HNDLG CAN CAUSE FORM OF DUSTS. TO REDUCE POTENTIAL
  FOR DUST EXPLO, DO NOT PERMIT DUST (SUP DAT)
*
*
Respiratory Protection: ATMOSPHERIC LEVELS SHOULD BE MAINTAINED BELOW THE
  EXPOSURE GUIDELINE. WHEN RESPIRATORY PROTECTION IS REQUIRED FOR CERTAIN
  OPERATIONS, USE A NIOSH APPROVED AIR-PURIFYING RESPIRATOR. IN DUSTY
  ATMOSPHERE S, USE A NIOSH APPROVED DUST RESPIRATOR.
Ventilation: PROVIDE GENERAL AND/OR LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION TO CONTROL
  AIRBORNE LEVELS BELOW THE EXPOSURE GUIDELINES.
Other Protective Equipment: EMERGENCY EYEWASH AND DELUGE SHOWER MEETING ANSI
  DESIGN CRITERIA (FP N). WEAR CLEAN BODY-COVERING CLOTHING.
