SECTION V - REACTIVITY DATA
Stability: Stable.
Conditions to Avoid: Exposure to open flame or temperatures exceeding optimum recommended processing temperatures. Also avoid prolonged exposure to processing temperatures.
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): Strong mineral acids.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur
Hazardous Decomposition or Byproducts:
Thermal breakdown products may include a complex mixture of organic and inorganic compounds including but not limited to simple hydrocarbons, aldehydes, ketones, inorganic oxides, carboxylic acids of many molecular weights and structures, and possibly trace amounts of hydrogen cyanide and other materials depending on the product grade, specific temperature, time of exposure, and other immediate environmental factors.

SECTION VI - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Routes of Entry: Skin and inhalation of vapors, if overheated.
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure:
No specific information available concerning exposure to the product. If formaldehyde is released as an off-gas, a burning sensation and tearing of the eyes may occur. An irritating odor may be noted.
Severe Immediate Hazards:
For skin: Contact with hot or molten polymer may cause thermal burns.
For inhalation: Thermal processing fumes and vapors may cause irritation to the nose and throat.
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
For skin: If hot polymer burns the skin, immerse burned area in cold running water and obtain medical attention immediately.
For inhalation: Remove affected individual to fresh air; obtain medical attention for irritation or other exposure symptom.

SECTION VII - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: Pick up and handle as any other solid material.
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storage:
Handling: When thermal or melt processing, wear long pants, long sleeves, well insulated gloves, and face shield when there is a chance of contact.
Storage: Store in a cool dry place.
Ecological Data: Under normal conditions: N/A

SECTION VIII - CONTROL MEASURES
Respiratory Protection: For exposures to thermal processing fumes or vapors in excess of permissible exposure levels, use an organic vapor respirator approved by NIOSH.
Excessive nuisance dust may be irritating to the eyes and breathing passages and may cause skin abrasion. The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists recommends a threshold limit value (TLV) of 10 milligrams per cubic meter of air for general nuisance dust.
Ventilation: Maintain vapor or dust levels below the permissible TLV concentration by the use of an adequate local or mechanical (general) exhaust system which discharges at a point outside the workplace.
Eye/Face Protection: None required in normal use. For grinding operations, use safety goggles and face shield.
Other Protective Clothing: None required
