Section 2
2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture
Polyethylene BRALEN+ is not classified according to the act No. 67/2010 Coll. of the Slovak Republic, or the Regulation of the EP and EC Council No. 1272/2008. Danger to public health Polyethylene BRALEN+ has no acute or chronic adverse effect on man’s health if used under conditions for normal usage. It represents no danger at temperatures under melting temperature. In a liquid phase, when melted, it can cause serious burns if contacted with skin and eyes. Ingestion of a small amount should not cause any troubles. Inhaling of its dust can irritate respiratory system and mucous membranes. It is biologically inert. Spilled material present a risk of slipping. 2.3. Danger to environment Polyethylene BRALEN+ has no toxic effects on environment. Within the environment, it is an extraneous substance with a very slow decomposition. It decays when exposed to UV radiation. It is insoluble in water. It is biologically inert. 2.4.
2.3 Other hazards
When contacted with flame it is combustible, but hardly inflammable. During combustion toxic and irritating substances may also develop (e.g. carbon monoxide). Dry powder is explosive; when the dust concentration in air reaches lower explosion limit an explosion risk arises. The product can be electrostatically charged; sparks developed as a consequence of static electricity can at certain concentrations ignite dust or cause explosion.
