SECTION 2: Hazards identification

The product is an inert polymer, in usual condition harmful effects for man are not knowed. The primary hazard associated with these polymers is the inhalation of fumes from overheating or burning heating PTFE above 300 degrees C may liberate a fine particulate fume and toxic gases. These decomposition products may initially produce chest tightness or pain, chills, fever, nausea, with shortness of breath, cough, wheezing and progression into pulmonary oedema.

2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture

Directive criteria, 67/548/CE, 99/45/EC and following amendments thereof: Properties / Symbols: None.

Adverse physicochemical, human health and environmental effects

No other hazards

2.2 Label elements

The mixtures doesn't represent a danger for the health for inhalation and contactwith skin in the form in which is commercialised, in how much the component is lost and completely incorporated in the basic polymer the labeling is not applied. (DIR 2001/59/CEE All. VI cap.9.3). No labeling is required. The mixtures containing polymers and those containing elastomers, although classified as hazardous under the criteria of Appendix 1 section 1.3.4 CLP, does not require a label conforming to Annex 1 as it does not present a danger either to human health by inhalation, ingestion or skin contact, or the aquatic environment in the form in which they are placed on the market.
