Health hazards
IDENTIFICATION Emergency Overview Odorless, white stock shapes in rod, tube or sheet form. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices. CAUTION! MELT PROCESSING MAY RELEASE VAPORS WHICH MAY CAUSE EYE, SKIN AND RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION.
Potential health effects
Inhalation and skin contact are expected to be the primary routes of occupational exposure to this material. As a semi-finished stock shape, it is a synthetic, high molecular weight material. Due to its chemical and physical properties, this material does not require special handling other than the good industrial hygiene and safety practices employed with any industrial material of this type. Machining and fabrication under normal conditions should not release hazardous fumes in significant amounts. However, if the material temperature becomes excessive, hazardous by-products can be released. (See Section 10 for additional information.) If degradation occurs due to high temperature, hazardous decomposition products will be emitted, which include hydrogen fluoride and may include polymer fumes and oxides of carbon.
