Fire Fighting Instructions Keep personnel removed and upwind of fire. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Safeguards (Personnel) NOTE: Review FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES and HANDLING (PERSONNEL) sections before proceeding with clean-up. Use appropriate PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT during clean-up. Spill Clean Up Spilled material is a slipping hazard. Sweep up to avoid slipping hazard. Handling (Personnel) See FIRST AID and PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT SECTIONS. Handling (Physical Aspects) Minimize the generation and accumulation of dust.

Storage

Store in cool, dry place. Keep containers tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. Engineering Controls VENTILATION When hot processing this material, use local and/or general exhaust ventilation to control the concentration of vapors and fumes below exposure limits. In cutting or grinding operations with this material, use local exhaust to control the concentration of dust below exposure limits. Print Date’ 2-1-9010 A2YTO45 DuPont Page Material Safety Data Sheet (STABILITY AND REACTIVITY - Continued) Decomposition HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Cyclopentanone, carbon monoxide, aldehydes, and ammonia. Polymerization Polymerization will not occur. Animal Data Nylon 66 Oral LD50, rat: > 10,000 mg/kg Nylon 66 is not a skin irritant in tests with animals. Single exposure by ingestion to high doses caused decreased body weight. Long-term exposure caused no significant toxicological effects. Repeated insufflation exposure caused histopathological changes of the lungs, and kidneys. In animal testing Nylon 66 has not caused carcinogenicity. No animal data are available to define developmental, reproductive or mutagenic hazards. Fiber Glass Skin irritation and mild eye irritation occurs in animals, but these effects are attributed primarily to mechanical damage rather than a chemical effect. The effects in mice from single exposure by intratrachael instillation with Fiber Glass include an inflammatory response. Repeated inhalation exposures invoked pulmonary macrophage reactions similar to biologically inert dusts. Tests in some animals with Fiber Glass demonstrate carcinogenic activity. However, these studies were by artificial implantation or injection of fine glass fibers into the chest, abdominal cavity, or trachea and are judged to be irrelevant to industrial exposure. Chronic inhalation exposure of animals to fiber glass at low concentrations produced minimal fibrosis in one study and no adverse effects in a different study. No animal test reports are available to define mutagenic, developmental, or reproductive hazards.
