SECTION 2: Hazards identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW PHYSICAL APPEARANCE : Translucent to white solid pellets IMMEDIATE CONCERNS : Spilled material may present a slipping hazard. This product as shipped is not classified as a combustible dust; however, a combustible concentration of dust may occur if fines are suspended in air. Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents. When working with the material at temperatures above the melting point, the material will begin to decompose producing fumes that can contain carbon dioxide, carbon monoixde,ketones, acrolein, aldehydes and other unidentified organic compounds that come from the breakdown of the material. Adequate room and extruder ventilation should be provided to minimize exposures.
