Nitrile Flash

Non Hazardous Components

N/A 35 – 65 Hazards Identification Appearance & Odor: Solid synthetic rubber, variously-colored, with slight characteristic odor. Emergency Overview No unusual emergency situations are expected from this product. Primary Route(s) of Exposure: ingestion, skin Potential Health Effects: Acute (short term) Ingestion Published studies have demonstrated that the primary ingredients of nitrile synthetic rubber (acrylonitrile-butadiene elastomer and silicon dioxide) have low oral toxicity, and ingestion is not a probable route of exposure. Skin: Dermal contact may produce minor mechanical irritation. Molten material undergoing processing can adhere to skin, potentially causing severe thermal burns. Eye: Mechanical irritation only. Inhalation: Processing at temperatures above 200 °C (392 °F) may produce fumes irritating to the eyes, nose, and throat. Such exposure can result in reddening, tearing, and itching of the eyes, soreness in the nose & throat, and coughing. See Section 8 of this MSDS for exposure controls. Chronic (long term): No known chronic health effects associated with exposure to powder and dust generated from mechanical alteration of this product. See Section 11 of this MSDS for additional toxicological data. Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Persons with a history of chronic respiratory disease, skin disease, or central or peripheral nervous system disorders may be at increased risk of worsening their conditions from exposure to this product.
