Section 2
SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Emergency Overview Sodium Polyacrylate, Cross-linked is a white, granular, odorless polymer that forms a gel-like material with water. It is insoluble in water and causes slippery conditions when wet. Although not regulated as a hazardous material, the respirable dust is a potential respiratory tract irritant. At high temperature, thermal decomposition can give toxic products (CO & CO2).
Potential health effects
Eyes Dust may cause burning, drying, itching and other discomfort resulting in reddening of the eyes. Skin Dust exposure, such as in manufacturing, may aggravate existing skin conditions due to drying. Ingestion Not a likely route of entry. Tests show that super absorbent polymers are non-toxic if ingested. However, as in the instance of any non-food consumption, seek medical attention in the event of any adverse symptoms. Inhalation Respirable dust exposure may cause respiratory tract & lung irritation and may aggravate existing respiratory conditions.
