Principle Routes of Exposure
Eye. Inhalation. Skin. Acute effects See component summary. 1-Butene, polymer with ethene 25087-34-7 Hot material may cause thermal burns. At process temperatures, irritating fumes may cause soreness in the nose and throat; coughing may result. Mechanical irritation is possible. Additives No known acute health effects. Skin Molten polymer may cause thermal burns. Inhalation Inhalation of process fumes and vapors may cause soreness in the nose and throat and coughing. "Nuisance dust" such as polymer dust typically exhibit no significant health effect when they are reasonably controlled. Exposure to high concentrations of dust may cause slight irritation by mechanical action. Eyes Mechanical irritation is possible. Ingestion Ingestion not a likely route of exposure.
Potential chronic health
See component summary. 1-Butene, polymer with ethene 25087-34-7 No known chronic health effects. Additives No known chronic health effects.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
No known conditions are aggravated by this material.
