Hazard statements

Health: 1 Fire: 1 Reactivity: 0 PPI: A Page: 2 a registered trademark de Nemours and Company, Inc. SECTION III - IDENTIFICATION (cont.) PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LEVEL: This is a polymeric compound. All ingredients are encapsulated by the polymer and present no likelihood of exposure under normal conditions of processing and handling.

Potential health effects

ADDITIONAL HEALTH EFFECTS Read the specific datasheet for product to be used before using this resin, as well as the Delrin Molding Guide. ACETAL POLYMER There are no known effects from exposure to the Delrin polymer itself. If overheated, the polymer releases formaldehyde which may cause skin, eye, and respiratory irritation and allergic reactions. Significant skin permeation and systemic toxicity after contact appears unlikely. There are inconclusive or unverified reports of human sensitization. Carcinogenicity Information The following components are listed by IARC, NTP,

Principle Routes of Exposure

SKIN: Pellets are not likely to cause irritation. Contact with molten material may cause thermal burns. Processing fumes may cause irritation. EYE: Solid/dust may cause irritation due to mechanical action. Processing fumes may cause a burning sensation and tearing of the eyes. INHALATION: Formaldehyde, which may be released if overheated, may cause irritation to the respiratory tract. An irritating odor may be noted.

Potential chronic health

Formaldehyde may cause respiratory sensitization, and has been listed as a potential
