*  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  *
Respiratory Protection:NOT TYPICALLY REQUIRED DURING NORMAL USE, AND
    HANDLING OPERATIONS WHERE GENERAL DILUTION OR LOCAL EXHAUST
    VENTILATION IS ADEQUATE TOCONTROL EXPOSURES. RESPIRATORY
    PROTECTION MAY BE NEEDED IF VAPOR O R DUST IS GENERATED DURING
    PROCESS OR IF PRODUCT IS GROUND INTO A FINE POWDER. WEAR NIOSH
    APPROVED POSITIVE PRESSURE AIR-SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR(SUPPL SAFETY).
Ventilation:EFFECTIVE GENERAL AND, IF NECESSARY LOCAL EXHAUST VENT MUST
    ALWAYS BE PROVIDED TO DRAW FUMES OR VAPORS AWAY FROM WORKERS TO
    PREVENT (OTHER PROTECT EQUIPMENT).
Other Protective Equipment:EYEWASH/DELUGE SHOWER MEETING ANSI DESIGN
    CRITERIA . VENT: ROUTINE INHALATION. VENT MUST BE ADEQUATE TO
    MAINTAIN  AMBIENT WORKPLACE ATMOSPHERE BELOW ESTABLISHED LIMITS.
Work Hygienic Practices:PROCESSING FUME CONDENSATES,WHICH MAY INCLUDE
    TOXIC CONTAMINANTS, MAY BE COMBUSTIBLE,SHOULD BE PERIODICALLY
    REMOVED FROM EXHAUST HOODS,DUCTWORK,OTHER SURFACES. PROTECTIVE
    CLOTHING SHOULD BE WORN.
Supplemental Safety and Health
RESPIRATORY (CONT'D): 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.

    LYMPHATIC, BLOOD, KIDNEY, LIVER, LUNG, STOMACH, RETICULOSARCOMA AND
    REPRODUCTIVE CARCINOGENS . NO  ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECTS EXPECTED
    DURING NORMAL PROCESSING WHEN POTENTIAL EXPOSURES ARE ELIMINATED BY
    GOOD INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE PRACTICE AND WELL-VENTILATED CONDITIONS. AT
    PROCESSING TEMPERATURES, COMBIN ED INGREDIENTS (ELASTOMER, OTHER
    PROCESSING INGREDIENTS) MAY EMIT FUMES AND VAPORS THAT MAY CAUSE
    IRRITATION TO EYES, SKIN, NOSE, THROAT AND RESPIRATORY TRACT.
    PROCESSING UNDER CONDITIONS OF  (OVEREXP OSURE)
    ACRYLONITRILE: 9TH ANNUAL RE PORT ON CARCINOGENS . REFER TO
    TOXICOLOGY INFORMATION FOR ADDITIONAL CARCINOGENICITY STATEMENTS.
Effects of Overexposure:HEALTH HAZARDS (CONT'D): INADEQUATE VENTILATION
    MAY PRODUCE SYMPTOMS OF NAUSEA, DIZZINESS, HEADACHES. TYPICALLY
    THESE EFFECTS ARE REVERSIBLE UPON REMOVAL FROM EXPOSURE AND NO
    LASTING EFFECTS ARE EXPEC TED. MOST IMPORTANTLY,  THE POTENTIAL FOR
    IRRITATION WILL DEPEND ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EXHAUST VENTILATION
    PROVIDED TO THE PROCESS AREA. OVEREXPOSURE TO DECOMPOSITION OR
    COMBUSTION PRODUCTS MAY CAUS E IRRITATION OF EYES, SKIN AND
    RESPIRATORY TRACT. SYMPTOMS SUCH AS COUGHING, TEARING AND
    IRRITATION SHOULD BE REGARDED AS POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS AND MEASURES
    TAKEN TO AVOID EXPOSURE.
*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:IF IRRITATION OCCURS OR PERSISTS FROM ANY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE,
    REMOVE AFFECTED INDIVIDUAL FROM  AREA & SEEK MEDICAL ASSISTANCE.
    EYE: TREAT AS ANY FOREIGN PARTICULATE MATTER. FLUSH EYES WITH
    RUNNING WATE R FOR SEVERAL MINUTES WHILE HOLDING EYELIDS OPEN.
    CONSULT PHYSICIAN IF IRRITATION PERSISTS. SKIN: REMOVE CONTAMINATED
    MEDICAL ATTENTI ON IF IRRITATION OR ALLERGIC SKIN REACTION
    DEVELOPS. PARTIACULATE INHALATION: REMOVE AFFECTED INDIVIDUAL TO
    FRESH AIR. VAPOR INHAL: (PROCESSING VAPORS OR DECOMPOSITION
    PRODUCTS): REMOVE THE AFFECTED I NDIVIDUAL TO FRESH AIR.  (SPILL
    RELEASE)
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Extinguishing Media:WATER, ABC DRY CHEMICAL, OR PROTEIN TYPE AIR FOAMS
    ARE RECOMMENDED MEDIA.  ELASTOMERS WOULD BE CONSIDERED 'ORDINARY
    COMBUSTIBLES'  (NFPA DEFINED CLASS A). (OTHER INFORMATION).
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR NIOSH APPROVED POSITIVE PRESSURE SCBA
    DURING ATTACK PHASE OF FIREFIGHTING OPERATIONS, DURING CLEANUP IN
    ENCLOSED OR POORLY VENTILATED AREAS IMMEDIATELY AFTER A FIRE.
    PERSONNEL NOT HAVING SUITABLE  RESPIRATORY PROTECTION MUST LEAVE
    AREA TO PREVENT SIGNIFICANT EXPOS TO TOXIC COMBUSTION GASES FROM
    ANY SOURCE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS MUST BE TAKEN IF
    ELASTOMERS ARE GROUND OR OTHERWISE FORMED INTO A FINE POWDER OR
    DUST SINCE MANY ORGANIC SUBSTANCES IN THESE FORMS PRESENT A DUST
    EXPLOSION HAZARD. TOXIC GASES MAY  BE FORMED UPON COMBUSTION AND
    REPRESENTS A HAZARD TO FIREFIGHTERS.
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED, SWEEP,
    SHOVEL, OR VACUUM CRUMBS OR CHUNKS INTO CLOSED CONTAINERS FOR REUSE
    OR DISPOSAL. FIRST AID (CONT'D): IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED,
    ADMINISTER ARTIFICIAL RESPIRAT ION AND SEEK MEDICAL ASSISTANCE
    IMMEDIATELY.
*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:PROCESS ELASTOMERS UNDER WELL
    VENTILATED CONDITIONS AVOID CONTINUED/PRLONGED BREATHING OF VAPORS.
