Potential health effects
ADDITIONAL HEALTH EFFECTS Read "ZYTEL" Molding Guide before using this product. ACUTE OR IMMEDIATE EFFECTS : ROUTES OF ENTRY AND SYMPTOMS INGESTION No data are available. Ingestion is not a probable route of exposure. Based on similarity to other polymers, the products listed on this MSDS are predicted to have low oral toxicity. SKIN In studies on rabbits, Nylon 66 copolymers were not skin irritants. Molten polymer causes thermal burns. EYE In studies on rabbits, Nylon 66 copolymers were found to be transient, moderate eye irritants. Carcinogenicity Information None of the components present in this material at concentrations equal to or greater than 0.1% are listed by IARC, NIP,
Storage
Continued) Store in a cool, dry place. Keep containers tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. Store away from ignition sources, combustibles. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION 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 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 Safety Data Sheet Exposure Limits "ZYTEL" RESINS ALL IN SYNONYM LIST ZYTO30 PEL
