Precautionary statements

H316: Causes mild skin irritation P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray H317: May cause an allergic skin reaction P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product H320: Causes eye irritation P273: Avoid release to the environment P281: Use personal protective equipment as required P402: Store in a dry place Emergency Overview: Hazards described herein may exist if material is in a fume or dust state. May cause eye and skin irritation. Airborne dust in high concentrations may form explosive air-dust mixtures. Organic fumes may be present in air spaces of shipping containers that may be irritating if inhaled and may cause irritation to eyes, respiratory tract, and skin. Contact with crosslinking by-products may cause allergic skin reaction. This material can burn in fire releasing toxic vapors, gases, and fumes.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Inhalation, Eye or Skin Contact Signs and Symptoms of Acute Irritation of eyes, skin & respiratory tract. Release of Overexposure: detectable amounts organic vapors during the processing of the product may occur. Exposures to high concentrations of organic vapors may have a narcotic effect.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Individuals with chronic respiratory disorders may be adversely affected by any fume or airborne particulate exposure. Sensitive individuals may be susceptible to allergic reaction upon contact with skin, eyes, or respiratory tract. Breathing of organic vapor and/or mist may aggravate asthma and inflammatory or fibrotic pulmonary disease.

Potential health effects

Eyes: Dust or particulate may cause irritation or scratch the surface of the eye. Fumes from heated material may be irritating. Skin: Prolonged handling or rubbing of polymer pellets may cause mechanical skin irritation similar to exposure to sand or dust. Molten polymer can cause severe thermal burns. Organic byproducts generated from the heating of this material may cause skin irritation. Ingestion: None Known Inhalation: Exposures to dusts and fumes may cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Prolonged exposures at high concentrations could cause nausea, drowsiness, and headache. Carcinogenicity: NTP: No IARC: Antimony Trioxide - 2B; Carbon Black 2B

Additional information

Persons should avoid breathing dust or fume above TLV’s that may be generated during the handling and processing of this product. When processing this compound, detectable amounts of organic vapors may be generated. Avoid breathing vapors in excess of threshold limit values.
