Section 3: Composition / Information on Ingredients Chemical Name CASRN Concentration¹ Polypropylene 9003-07-0 0-99 Polypropylene Ethylene Copolymer 9010-79-1 0-99 Additives Proprietary <5 ¹ All concentrations are percent by weight unless ingredient is a gas. Gas concentrations are in percent by volume. Section 4: First Aid Measures Eye Contact: For contact with hot material, gently open eyelids and flush affected eye(s) with cold (not icy) water. Seek immediate medical attention. For cold material, wash with plenty of water with eyelids open. If redness or pain develops, seek medical attention. Skin Contact: First aid is not normally required. However, it is good practice to wash any chemical from the skin. For contact with molten material, leave material on skin and flush or immerse affected area(s) using cold, not icy, water. Seek immediate medical attention. Inhalation (Breathing): First aid is not normally required. If breathing difficulties develop, move victim away from source of exposure and into fresh air in a position comfortable for breathing. Seek immediate medical attention. Ingestion (Swallowing): First aid is not normally required; however, if swallowed and symptoms develop, seek medical attention.

Section 5: Fire-Fighting Measures NFPA 704 Hazard Class Health: 0 Flammability: 1 Instability: 0 0 (Minimal) 1 (Slight) 2 (Moderate) 3 (Serious) 4 (Severe) Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam, water spray, sand or earth is recommended. Carbon dioxide can displace oxygen. Use caution when applying carbon dioxide in confined spaces. Specific hazards arising from the chemical Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards: This material may burn, but will not ignite readily. May form dust-air mixtures that present a fire hazard. Dense smoke is emitted when burned without sufficient oxygen. Hazardous Combustion Products: Combustion may yield carbon monoxide, acetaldehyde, acetone, acetic acid, formic acid, formaldehyde and acrolein. Special protective actions for firefighters: For fires beyond the initial stage, emergency responders in the immediate hazard area should wear protective clothing. When the potential chemical hazard is unknown, in enclosed or confined spaces, a self contained breathing apparatus should be worn. In addition, wear other appropriate protective equipment as conditions warrant (see Section 8). Isolate immediate hazard area and keep unauthorized personnel out. Contain spill if it can be done safely. Move undamaged containers from immediate hazard area if it can be done safely. Cool equipment exposed to fire with water, if it can be done safely. See Section 9 for Flammable Properties including Flash Point and Flammable (Explosive) Limits Section 6: Accidental Release Measures Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: This material may burn, but will not ignite readily. Avoid the creation of dust when handling and avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame). Spilled pellets present a slipping hazard on hard surfaces. Stay upwind and away from spill/release. Avoid direct contact with material. For large spillages, notify persons down wind of the spill/release, isolate immediate hazard area and keep unauthorized personnel out. Wear appropriate protective equipment, including respiratory protection, as conditions warrant (see Section 8). See Sections 2 and 7 for additional information on hazards and precautionary measures. Environmental Precautions: Contain spill if it can be done safely. Prevent spilled material from entering sewers, storm drains, other unauthorized drainage systems, and natural waterways. Use water sparingly to minimize environmental contamination and reduce disposal requirements. If spill occurs on water notify appropriate authorities and advise shipping of any hazard. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable regulations. Carefully shovel or sweep up spilled material and place in a suitable container. Minimize dust generation. Recommended measures are based on the most likely spillage scenarios for this material; however local conditions and regulations may influence or limit the choice of appropriate actions to be taken. See Section 13 for information on appropriate disposal. Section 7: Handling and Storage Date of Issue: 06-Feb-2013 Status: FINAL _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Precautions for safe handling: Nonsparking tools should be used. Avoid generating dust in enclosed spaces. Avoid contact with the heated material. Wash thoroughly after handling. Use good personal hygiene practices and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8). This material may be heated to high temperatures during use. Use caution when handling heated material, to avoid causing thermal burns. Vapors or fumes may cause watering or irritation of the eyes. May form combustible dust-air mixtures. Prevent accumulation of dust particles. Maintain proper grounding at all times. Avoid dust accumulation in enclosed space. Avoid dispersal of dust in the air (i.e., clearing dust surfaces with compressed air). Dust deposits should not be allowed to accumulate on surfaces, as these may form an explosive mixture if they are released into the atmosphere in sufficient concentration. Routine housekeeping should be instituted to ensure that dusts do not accumulate on surfaces. Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when handling or processing this material. To avoid fire or explosion, dissipate static electricity during transfer by grounding and bonding containers and equipment before transferring material. Explosion hazards apply only to dusts, not granular forms of this product. Do not handle or empty plastic bag or liner in presence of flammable vapor. Do not wear contaminated clothing or shoes. Conditions for safe storage: Keep container(s) tightly closed and properly labeled. Use and store this material in cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat and all sources of ignition. Store only in approved containers. Keep away from any incompatible material (see Section 10). Protect container(s) against physical damage.
