Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

BY EXPOSURE None known. Printed on 06/28/2008 Carcinogenicity Information None of the components present in this material at concentrations equal to or greater than 0.1% are listed by IARC, NTP,

Storage

Store in a 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. Personal Protective Equipment Eye/Face Protection Wear safety glasses. Wear coverall chemical splash goggles and Printed on 06/28/2008 HYT007 face shield when possibility exists for eye or face contact due to splashing or spraying of molten material. A full face mask positive-pressure air-supplied respirator provides protection from eye irritation. Respirators A NIOSH/MSHA approved air-purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge with a dust/mist filter may be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits. Use a positive-pressure air-supplied respirator if there is any potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or any other circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection. During grinding, sawing, routing, drilling or sanding operations use a NIOSH/MSHA approved air-purifying respirator with dust /mist cartridge or canister if airborne particulate concentrations are expected to exceed permissible exposure levels. Protective Clothing If there is potential contact with hot/molten material, wear heat resistant clothing and footwear. Wear leather or cotton gloves when grinding, sawing, routing, drilling or sanding. Exposure Guidelines Exposure Limits "HYTREL" THERMOPLASTIC POLYESTER ELASTOMER ON SYNONYM LIST HYTO07 PEL
