Health hazards
IDENTIFICATION ACUTE OR IMMEDIATE EFFECTS/ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: SKIN: Hot or molten nylon may cause thermal burns. EYES: Contact with powder or dust may cause mechanical irritation. INHALATION: Shapes are not considered an inhalation hazard. INGESTION: Not a probable route of exposure. LONG TERM/DELAYED EFFECTS: None Known. MEDICAL RESTRICTIONS: None Known IDENTIFICATION (continued) CHRONIC/CARCINOGENICITY: The International Agency for Research of Cancer (IARC) has evaluated carbon black, which is contained in MECHETEC® Nylon 6/6 BK products, and found it to be possible carcinogenic to humans (group 2b). The carbon black in this product is wetted by the polymer system, and therefore, presents minimal likelihood of exposure under normal conditions of handling and machining.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
None Known
Potential chronic health
There are no known effects from exposure to MECHETEC® Nylon 6/6 or MECHETEC® Nylon 6/6 BK polymer itself. Significant skin permeation and systemic toxicity after contact appears unlikely. There are inconclusive or unverified reports of human sensitization.
