4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Description of first aid measures
General advice:
First Aid responders should pay attention to self-protection and use the recommended protective
clothing (chemical resistant gloves, splash protection). If potential for exposure exists refer to Section
8 for specific personal protective equipment.
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing; consult a physician.
Skin contact: Wash off with plenty of water. Seek first aid or medical attention as needed. If molten
material comes in contact with the skin, do not apply ice but cool under ice water or running stream of
water. DO NOT attempt to remove the material from skin. Removal could result in severe tissue
damage. Seek medical attention immediately. Suitable emergency safety shower facility should be
immediately available.
Eye contact: Flush eyes thoroughly with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses after the
initial 1-2 minutes and continue flushing for several additional minutes. If effects occur, consult a
physician, preferably an ophthalmologist.
Ingestion: If swallowed, seek medical attention. May cause gastrointestinal blockage. Do not give
laxatives. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:

Aside from the information found under Description of first aid measures (above) and Indication of
immediate medical attention and special treatment needed (below), any additional important
symptoms and effects are described in Section 11: Toxicology Information.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Notes to physician: If burn is present, treat as any thermal burn, after decontamination. If lavage is
performed, suggest endotracheal and/or esophageal control. Danger from lung aspiration must be
weighed against toxicity when considering emptying the stomach. No specific antidote. Treatment of
exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient.
5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media: Water fog or fine spray.. Dry chemical fire extinguishers..
Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers.. Foam..
Page 2 of 12
Unsuitable extinguishing media: No data available
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Hazardous combustion products: During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in
addition to combustion products of varying composition which may be toxic and/or irritating. .
Combustion products may include and are not limited to:. Carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Pneumatic conveying and other mechanical handling
operations can generate combustible dust. To reduce the potential for dust explosions, do not
permit dust to accumulate.. Dense smoke is produced when product burns..
Advice for firefighters
Fire Fighting Procedures: Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry.
Soak thoroughly with water to cool and prevent re-ignition.. If material is molten, do not apply
direct waterstream. Use fine water spray or foam.. Cool surroundings with water to localize
fire zone.. Hand held dry chemical or carbon dioxide extinguishers may be used for small
fires..
Special protective equipment for firefighters: Wear positive-pressure self-contained

breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet,
coat, trousers, boots, and gloves). If protective equipment is not available or not used, fight
fire from a protected location or safe distance.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Spilled material may
cause a slipping hazard. Use appropriate safety equipment. For additional information, refer to
Section 8, Exposure Controls and Personal Protection.
Environmental precautions: Prevent from entering into soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and/or
groundwater. See Section 12, Ecological Information.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Contain spilled material if possible.
Sweep up. Collect in suitable and properly labeled containers. See Section 13, Disposal
Considerations, for additional information.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for safe handling: No smoking, open flames or sources of ignition in handling and
storage area. Good housekeeping and controlling of dusts are necessary for safe handling of product.
Avoid breathing process fumes. Use with adequate ventilation. When appropriate, unique handling
information for containers can be found on the product label. Workers should be protected from the
possibility of contact with molten resin. Do not get molten material in eyes, on skin or clothing.
Pneumatic conveying and other mechanical handling operations can generate combustible dust. To
reduce the potential for dust explosions, electrically bond and ground equipment and do not permit
dust to accumulate. Dust can be ignited by static discharge.
Page 3 of 12
Conditions for safe storage: Store in accordance with good manufacturing practices.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Control parameters
If exposure limits exist, they are listed below. If no exposure limits are displayed, then no values are
applicable.
Exposure controls
Engineering controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain
airborne levels below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure
limit requirements or guidelines, general ventilation should be sufficient for most operations. Local
exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations.
Individual protection measures

Eye/face protection: Use safety glasses (with side shields). If there is a potential for
exposure to particles which could cause eye discomfort, wear chemical goggles. If exposure
causes eye discomfort, use a full-face respirator.
Skin protection
Hand protection: Chemical protective gloves should not be needed when handling
this material. Consistent with general hygienic practice for any material, skin contact
should be minimized. Use gloves with insulation for thermal protection, when needed.
Use gloves to protect from mechanical injury. Selection of gloves will depend on the
task.
Other protection: No precautions other than clean body-covering clothing should be
needed.
Respiratory protection: Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to
exceed the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit
requirements or guidelines, wear respiratory protection when adverse effects, such as
respiratory irritation or discomfort have been experienced, or where indicated by your risk
assessment process. Use an approved air-purifying respirator when vapors are generated at
increased temperatures or when dust or mist is present.
The following should be effective types of air-purifying respirators: When dust/mist are
present use a/an Particulate filter. When combinations of vapors, acids, or dusts/mists are
present use a/an Organic vapor cartridge with a particulate pre-filter.
