SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency Overview The material is a solid at room temperature exhibiting elevated temperature softening characteristics. Above its softening point, the material liquefies and flows more readily as the temperature increases. The material is used as a hot liquid for application purposes and requires caution in handling. At elevated temperatures well above the softening point and in contact with air, the generation of hydrocarbon vapors including possible oxidized products may be expected. SKIN CONTACT Contact with molten material can result in severe burns. EYE CONTACT Direct contact of molten product to the eyes will cause thermal burns and eye injury. INHALATION Breathing fumes in confined areas can cause respiratory discomfort and possible irritation.
