SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency Overview: The material Is a solid at room temperature exhibiting elevated temperature softening characteristics. Above its softenlng polnt, the material liquefies and flows more readily as the temperature increases. The material becomes a hot liquid solution after ignition and should not be handled once lit. At elevated temperatures well above the softening point and In contact with air, the generation of hydrocarbon vapors including possible oxidized products may be expected. Routes Of Entry Into The Body (Acute Effects): Eyes: Direct contact of molten product to the eyes will cause thermal burns and eye injury. Exposure to fumes, vapors or smoke from thermally degraded product can cause irritation to eyes. Skin: Contact with molten material can result in severe burns. Inhalation: Exposure to vapors, fumes, or smoke from molten material handled in confined areas can produce Irritation of respiratory tracts, and possible physical discomfort to sensitive Individuals. Ingestion: Low ingestion hazard in normal use. This material is essentially inert and non-toxic. Regardless of this, the material should be handled with care and not be Ingested or put in mouth.
