Effects of Exposure: ADDITIONAL HEALTH EFFECTS: READ "ZYTEL" MOLDING GUIDE
  BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT. POLYHEXAMETHYLENE ADIPAMIDE: IN GENERAL SKIN
  ER, A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF SUBJECTS MAY RESPOND TO PROLONGED CONTACT WITH
  REDNESS OF SKIN. SIGNIFICANT SKIN PERMEATION AND SYSTEMIC TOXICITY AFTER
  CONTACT APPEARS UNLIKELY. THERE ARE NO REPORTS OF HUMA N SENSITIZATION.  IF
  PAIN OR BLURRED VISION MAY RESULT.  FIBERGLASS: THE MECHANICAL ACTION OF THE
  SHARP FIBERS FROM FIBERGLAS S MAY (SIGNS & SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE)
Explanation Of Carcinogenicity: NONE OF COMPONENTS PRESENT IN THIS MATERIAL AT
  CONCENTRATIONS EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN 0.1% ARE LISTED BY IARC, NTP, OSHA OR
  ACGIH AS A CARCINOGEN.
Signs And Symptions Of Overexposure: HEALTH HAZARDS ACUTE AND CHRONIC (CONT):
  CAUSE SKIN IRRITATION WITH DISCOMFORT OR RASH. INHALATION OF FIBERGLASS
  PARTICLES MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF THE UPPER RESPIRATORY PASSAGES, WITH
  COUGHING AND DIS COMFORT. RESULTS FROM EPIDEMIOLOGY STUDIES SUGGEST NO LINK
  BETWEEN FIBERGLASS EXPOSURE AND CANCER. ONE EPIDEMIOLOGY STUDY INDICATES
  SLIGHT INCREASE IN LUNG CANCER DEATHS. THE EVIDENCE THAT FIBERGLASS  IS
  RELATED TO THESE INCREASED LUNG CANCER DEATHS IS CONSIDERED WEAK.
Medical Cond Aggravated By Exposure: INDIVIDUALS WITH PRE-EXISTING DISEASES OF
  LUNGS MAY HAVE INCREASED SUSCEPTIBILITY TO TOXICITY OF EXCESSIVE EXPOSURES.
First Aid: INHALATION: NO SPECIFIC INTERVENTION IS INDICATED AS THE COMPOUND IS
  NOT LIKELY TO BE HAZARDOUS BY INHALATION. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN IF NECESSARY.
  IF EXPOSED TO FUMES FROM OVERHEATING OR COMBUSTION, MOV E TO FRESH AIR.
  CONSULT PHYSICIAN  IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST. SKIN CONTACT: THE COMPOUND IS NOT
  LIKELY TO BE HAZARDOUS BY SKIN CONTACT, BUT CLEANSING THE SKIN AFTER EACH USE
  IS ADVISABLE. IF MOLTEN POLYMER  GETS ON SKIN, COOL RAPIDLY WITH COLD WATER.
  DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PEEL POLYMER FRM SKIN. OBTAIN MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR THERMAL
  BURN. EYE CONTACT: IN CASE OF CONTACT, IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF
  W ATER FOR (SUPPLEMENTAL SAFETY & HEALTH)

Handling and Disposal
*
Spill Release Procedures: SAFEGUARDS (PERSONNEL): NOTE: REVIEW FIRE FIGHTING
  MEASURES/HANDLING (PERSONNEL) SECTIONS BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH CLEAN-UP. USE
  APPROPRIATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT DURING CLEAN-UP.   SPILL CLEAN  UP:
  SWEEP UP TO AVOID SLIPPING HAZARD.
Waste Disposal Methods: PREFERRED OPTIONS: RECYCLING, INCINERATION WITH ENERGY
  RECOVERYAND LANDFILL. HIGH FUEL VALUE OF PRODUCT MAKES OPTION OF INCINERATION
  VERY DESIRABLE FOR MATERIAL THAT CANNOT BE RECYCLED. TREATMENT, STO RAGE,
  TRANSPORTATION AND DISPOSAL MUST BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH  APPLICABLE FEDERAL,
  STATE/PROVINCIAL A ND LOCAL REGULATIONS.
Handling And Storage Precautions: HANDLING: SEE FIRST AID AND PERSONAL
  PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT SECTIONS.   STORAGE: STORE IN COOL, DRY PLACE. KEEP
  CONTAINERS TIGHTLY CLOSED TO PREVENT MOISTURE ABSORPTION AND CONTAMINATION.
*
Fire and Explosion Hazard Information 
*
Extinguishing Media: WATER, FOAM, DRY CHEMICAL, CO2.
Fire Fighting Procedures: KEEP PERSONNEL UPWIND OF FIRE. WEAR SELF-CONTAINED
  BREATHING APPARATUS (NIOSH APPROVED - FP N).
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard: LARGE MOLTEN MASSES MAY IGNITE SPONTANEOUSLY IN
  AIR. WATER QUENCHING OF SUCH MASSES IS GOOD PRACTICE. HAZARDOUS GASES/VAPORS
  PRODUCED IN FIRE ARE AMMONIA, CARBON MONOXIDE, SMALL AMOUNTS OF HYDROGEN CY
  ANIDE, AND ALDEHYDES.

*
Respiratory Protection: A NIOSH APPROVED AIR PURIFYING RESP WITH AN ORGANIC
  VAPOR CARTRIDGE WITH A DUST/MIST FILTER WHEN AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS EXPECTED
  TO EXCEED EXPOSURE LIMITS. USE POSITIVE-PRESSURE AIR SUPPLIED RESP IF  ANY
  POTENTIAL FOR UNCONTROLLED RELEASE, EXPOS LEVELS NOT KNOWN OR ANY OTHER
  CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE AIR-PURIFYING RESPIRATORS MAY NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE
  PROTECTION.
Ventilation: USE LOCAL EXHAUST TO COMPLETELY REMOVE VAPORS, FUMES AND
  PLASTICIZER LIBERATED DURING HOT PROCESSING FROM THE WORK AREA.
  HYGENIC PRACTICES)
Other Protective Equipment: EYEWASH AND DELUGE SHOWER MEETING ANSI DESIGN
  CRITERIA (FP N).  IF THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR CONTACT WITH HOT / MOLTEN
  MATERIAL, WEAR HEAT RESISTANT CLOTHING AND FOOTWEAR.
  FOR EYE AND FACE CONTACT DUE TO SPLASHING OR SPRAYING OF MOLTEN MATERIAL.
  PHYSICIAN. INGESTION: NO SPECIFIC INTERVENTION IS INDICATED AS COMPOUND IS
  NOT LIKELY TO BE HAZARDOUS BY INGESTION. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN IF NECESSARY.
