SECTION 2: Hazards identification

67/548 • Special hazard information for human beings and the environment: The melted product adheres to the skin and causes burns. Risk of slipping on spilled material. If used improperly it has neither an acute nor a chronic detrimental effect on the health of human beings. If swallowed in small quantities it should not cause problems. Inhalation of its dust will cause irritation to the respiratory passages. Has no damaging effects on the environment, in the environment a foreign substance with a very slow biodegradability, decomposes when exposed to UV radiation. Water soluble. • Other speciications: The substance is combustible and highly lammable. When burning hazardous (carbon monoxide) and irritant substances may be released. Explosive in dust form. When the dust concentration in the air exceed the lower explosion limit, there is a risk of explosion. The product can be electrostatically charged.

2.3 Other hazards

Not indicated 4. First aid measures • General information: At room temperature the product is not irritant and does not release any dangerous vapours. The measures indicated below relate to critical situations (ire, incorrect process conditions). • In case of inhalation: In case of excessive inhalation of smoke, take the affected party out into the fresh air. Seek medical attention. • In case of skin contact: In case of contact with the melted product, immediately cool off with cold water. Do not peel off hardened product from the skin. Consult a doctor immediately. • In case of contact with the eyes: Rinse out the eyes with the lid opened for several minutes under running water. • If swallowed: No special measures required if the product is swallowed as such. In a larger amount is swallowed, seek medical attention. 5. Measures for ire ighting • Suitable extinguishing agent: Water mist, foam, chemical extinguishing powder In case of a large ire -> spray water • Unsuitable extinguishing agent for safety reasons: Full jet water. • Speciic hazard from the substance, its combustion products or generated gases: In case of ire the following may be released: Water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) with lack of oxygen (O2) The combustion products are hazardous. • Speciic risk of explosion: In transport systems (e.g. when illing or emptying silos, tanks, funnels) dust particles may be produced. When larger quantities of these dust particles accumulate they may induce static charges which can cause ignition and explosion. These system parts must therefore be equipped with a suitable discharge function for static charge. • Special safety clothing and equipment: Use a mask with a universal ilter. Use self-contained respiratory protection in closed rooms. • Further information, heat value: < 9994 kcal/kg

Further information

In case of a large ire the humans beings, warehouse and all other objects in the vicinity of the ire must be protected by a water curtain. 6. Measures in case of unintentional release • Personnel-related precautionary measures: Speciic risk of slipping as a result of expelled/spilled product. Leave the location in which the polymer dust has been swirled up in order to avoid inhalation. Avoid eye and skin contact with the melted polymer. See point 8 • Environmental protection measures: Do not allow the spilled material to enter into the sewerage system. No special measures required. See points 12 and 13 • Procedure for cleaning/absorption/collection: Re-use the product or dispose of it safely. See point 13 7. Handling and storage • Handling: Adhere to all ire safety measures (work with open lame prohibited, avoidance of possible ignition sources, no smoking). Avoid generating dust and static charge. When handling, avoid release into the environment. • Instructions on safe handling: No special measures required if handling at room temperature. Avoid scattering the product to prevent falling hazard. When the material is heated to working temperature, vapours may develop which consist of: Ethylene and alkenes with a high molecular weight. Traces of formaldehyde and acrolein Traces of acids (formic acid, acetic acid) In such processing conditions it is advisable to provide an appropriate ventilation system. Take precautionary measures to counter risks of explosion from dust whilst conveying or grinding the grains, as for all types of polymer.
