Signal word

WARNING Physical Appearance: Colored solid pellets Immediate Concerns: Slipping hazard if spilled on hard smooth surface. This product as shipped is not classified as a combustible dust; however, a combustible concentration of dust may occur if fines are suspended in air. At process temperatures irritating fumes may be produced. Molten polymer may cause thermal burns. Temperatures above the melting point can lead to decomposition producing carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, ketones, acrolein, formaldehyde and other fumes that come from the breakdown of the material. To minimize exposure, adequate room and ventilation should be maintained. The material can accumulate static charges which could be a source of ignition.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Skin contact, Inhalation, Eye Contact Skin: May cause mechanical irritation. Contact with heated material can cause thermal burns. BK1341M 1|)Page Inhalation: Irritating gases or fumes may be given off during processing or thermal decomposition resulting in soreness in the nose and throat and coughing. May aggravate respiratory disorders. Eye: Dust may cause mechanical irritation. Process vapors may irritate eyes. Ingestion is not a typical route of industrial exposure, and is thus not expected to cause any adverse health effects No known acute health effects. All formula components are fully encapsulated in polymer, and thus do not necessarily reflect the hazards of the dry chemicals. Under normal conditions of use, the occupational hazards associated with the material are expected to be minimal.
