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 elevated temperatures, the material will begin to decompose producing fames that can contain carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, ketones, acrolein, aldehydes and other unidentifiable organic compounds that come from the breakdown of the material. Adequate room and extrude ventilation should be provided to minimize exposure. WARNING AUTION LABELS: Burn risk-Avoid contact with molten resin. Explosion risk- Prevent accumulation of dust particles. Slipping risk- Keep walking surfaces free of spilled material. Vapor risk- Provide ventilation to avoid exposure to process vapors. Physical hazards: Spilled material may present a slipping hazard. Health hazards: None known.
