2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture

REGULATION (EC) No 1272/2008 The product is not classified as dangerous according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 Physical hazards none 2.2. Label elements The product is not classified as dangerous according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 Signal Word none 2.3. Other information 3. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS 3.1. Substances 3.2. Mixtures Chemical Name EC-No CAS-No Weight percent EU - GHS Substance REACH No. Classification ABS resin - 9003-56-9 >96 no data available Colourants - <4 no data available For the full text of the H-Statements mentioned in this Section, see Section 16 Note Only non-hazardous and/or USP Class VI colourants are used. No leachable/extractable or heavy metal colourants are used. Some of the colourants, such as titanium dioxide and carbon black, have dust hazards. These hazards are not germane as the colourants are encapsulated in a fully reacted polymer. Section 4. First aid measures 4.1. Description of first aid measures Eye contact Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water, also under the eyelids. If symptoms persist, call a physician. Skin contact Wash off with water. If molten polymer contacts the skin, cool rapidly with cold water. Do not attempt to peel cured polymer from skin. Removal of solidified molten material from skin requires medical assistance. Ingestion Drink plenty of water. Do NOT induce vomiting. If symptoms persist, call a physician. Inhalation Move to fresh air. If symptoms persist, call a physician. 4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed Most Important Symptoms/Effects No information available. 4.3. Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Notes to physician Treat symptomatically. Section 5. Fire-fighting measures 5.1.
