"DELRIN" ACETAL RESIN ALL IN SYNONYM LIST DEL036B

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Potential health effects

ADDITIONAL HEALTH EFFECTS Read the specific datasheet for product to be used before using this resin, as well as the Delrin Molding Guide. ACETAL POLYMER There are no known effects from exposure to the Delrin polymer itself. If overheated, the polymer releases formaldehyde which 7 May cause skin, eye, and respiratory irritation and allergic ¢ reactions. 7 Significant skin permeation and systemic toxicity after contact appears unlikely. There are inconclusive or unverified reports of human sensitization. CARBON BLACK (Bound in Polymer) Immediate effects of overexposure to Carbon Black by inhalation may include irritation of the nose, throat, and lungs with cough, difficulty breathing or shortness of breath. If particles from Carbon Black contact the eye, mechanical irritation with tearing, pain or blurred vision may result. Significant skin permeation, and systemic toxicity, after contact with Carbon Black appears unlikely. There are no reports of human sensitization. Epidemiologic studies demonstrate no significant risk of human cancer from exposure to Carbon Black. While some reports cite an increased incidence of pulmonary abnormalities, such as decreased pulmonary function and radiological changes among Carbon Black workers, other reports show no correlation between exposure and effects on pulmonary function or disease.
