*  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  *
Respiratory Protection:WHEN ENGINEERING CONTROLS ARE NOT FEASIBLE OR
    SUFFICIENT TO ACHIEVE FULL CONFORMANCE WITH ACCEPTABLE EXPOSURE
    LIMITS (INGREDIENT SECTION), USE NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATORY
    PROTECTION EQUIPMENT. RESPIRAT ORS SHOULD BE SELECTED BASED ON THE
Ventilation:ENGINEERING CTLS SHOULD BE USED WHENEVER FEASIBLE TO
    MAINTAIN CONCS BELOW ACCEPTABLE EXPOS LIMS INCL, BUT NOT LIMITED
    TO, ENCLOSURES, LOC VENT & DILUTION VENT.
    FACESHIELD .
Other Protective Equipment:ANSI APPROVED EYE WASH AND DELUGE SHOWER .
    WEAR HEAT PROTECTIVE CLOTHING IF THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR CONTACT
    WITH HEATED MATERIAL.
Supplemental Safety and Health
FIRST AID PROC: REMOVAL MAY LEAD TO MORE DMG OF SKIN & UNDERLYING TISS.
    IF REMOVALINDICATED (EG, SOLIDIFIED MATL IS LOCATED ON CRITICAL
    PART OF HAND/FACE), REMOVAL W/MINERAL OIL RECOM. DUE TO EXTREM ELY
    HIGH TEMP OF MOLTEN POLYMER AT TIME OF CNTCT, BACTERIAL INFECTION
    UNDER SOLIDIFIED MATL IS UNLIKELY TO BE PRESENT.

Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: APPROXIMATELY 1/8
    - 3/8" CLEAR TO TRANSLUCENT SOLID PLASTIC PELLETS W/SLIGHT ESTER
    ODOR. DOES NOT CONTAIN MATERIALS WHICH MAY CONTRIBUTE TO IMMEDIATE
    HEALTH, PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMEN TAL HAZARDS. POTENTIAL HEALTH
    EFFECTS OF THIS POLYMER: IN SOLID FORM, THIS POLYMER IS NOT
    CONSIDERED TO BE A HEATLH HAZARD, ALTHOUGH THE PELLETS AND THE
    DUSTS GENERATED FROM THEM MAY BE MILDLY IRRITAT ING TO THE SKIN AND
    EYES BY MECHANICAL ACTION. IF SWALLOWED, POLYMER MAY POSE POSSIBLE
    INTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION. DUST CREATED DURING HANDLING OR PROCESSING
    MAY BE MILDLY IRRITATING TO THE RESPIRATORY SY STEM. (EFFECTS OF
    OVEREXPOSURE)
Effects of Overexposure:HEALTH HAZARDS: WHEN HEATED, THIS POLYMER MAY
    RELEASE FUMES AND/OR VAPORS THAT ARE IRRITATING TO THE EYES, NOSE,
    THROAT AND SKIN. OVEREXPOSURE TO FUMES OR VAPORS MAY ALSO CAUSE
    HEADACHE, NAUSEA, SHORT NESS OF BREATH AND COUGH. MOLTEN OR HEATED
    MATERIAL CAN CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS TO UNPROTECTED SKIN AND EYES.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:THERE ARE NO KNOWN MED CNDTNS
    AGGRAVATED BY EXPOS TO PROD. HOWEVER, CERTAIN SENSITIVE INDIVIDUALS
    & INDIVIDUALS W/RESP IMPAIRMENTS MAY BE AFFECTED BY EXPOS TO
    COMPONENTS IN THE PROCESSING EMISSIONS.
*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:INGEST: IF PROD INGESTED, CONTACT MD OR POISON CONTROL CENTER
    AS APPROP WHENEVER ANY FOREIGN OBJECT IS SWALLOWED. SKIN: IF
    CONTACTED BY MOLTEN POLYMER, COOL IMMED W/COLD OR ICE WATER. DO NOT
    ATTEMPT R EMOVAL OF ANY SOLIDIFIED MATL. GET MED ATTN PROMPTLY.
    EYES: IF CONTACT BY MOLTEN POLYMER, IMMED FLUSH EYES W/PLENTY OF
    GET MED ATTN IM MED. INHAL: IMMED REMOVE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR. IF
    VICTIM HAS STOPPED BRTHG GIVE ARTF RESP, PREFERABLY MOUTH-TO-MOUTH.
    GET MED ATTN IMMED. NOTE TO MD: IN CASE OF MOST BURNS, ALLOW
    SOLIDIFIED MATL TO SLO UGH OFF ON ITS OWN. ATTEMPTED (SUPDAT)
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Flash Point:DOES NOT APPLY
Extinguishing Media:USE WATER SPRAY, DRY CHEMICAL, FOAM OR CARBON
    DIOXIDE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE
    EQUIPMENT . IF POSSIBLE, WATER SHOULD BE APPLIED AS A SPRAY FROM A
    FOGGING NOZZLE SINCE THIS POLYMER IS SURFACE BURNING MATERIAL.
    (NOTE: INDIVIDUALS S HOULD PERFORM ONLY THOSE FIRE-FIGHTING
    PROCEDURES FOR WHICH THEY HAVE BEEN TRAINED.)
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:KNOWN OR ANTICIPATED PRODUCTS OF
    COMBUSTION: CARBON MONOXIDE IS THE PRIMARY HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION
    PRODUCT (SEE ALSO STABILITY AND REACTIVITY SECTION). NFPA RATING:
    NO NFPA RATING AVAILABLE. HMIS RATING : HEALTH: 0; FLAMMABILITY: 0;
    REACTIVITY: 0.
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:ENVIRONMENTAL PRECS: AVOID UNCONTROLLED
    RELEASES OF MATL. WHERE SPILLS ARE POSS, COMPREHENSIVE SPILL RELS
    RESPONSE PLAN SHOULD BE DEVELOPED & IMPLEMENTED. PLASTIC PELLETS
    WATER DISCHARGE PERMIT. ACCIDENTAL RELS PROCS: USE GOOD
    HOUSEKEEPING PRACTICES SINCE (TOXICOLOGICAL INFO)
*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN DRY PLACE AWAY FROM MOISTURE,
    EXCESSIVE HEAT AND SOURCES OF IGNITION.
Other Precautions:HANDLING OF PELLETS IN BOTH LOADING & UNLOADING
    OPERATIONS AS WELL AS FABRICATION MAY CAUSE DUST TO BE FORMED &
    NECESSARY PRECS FOR PERSONAL PROTECTION (SEE EXPOSURE CONTROLS,
    PERSONAL PROTECTION) SHO ULD BE USED. WHEN TRANSFERRING PELLETS,
    PRECS SUCH AS GROUNDING & BONDING CAN PREVENT BUILD-UP OF ST ATIC
    ELECTRICITY.
