LEL: N/A
Flammable Limits: N/A
UEL: N/A
Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical.
Special Firefighting Procedures:
Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full fire-fighting turn-out gear (bunker gear). Keep personnel removed from and upwind of fire. Water should be used to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Product burns with a very hot, but very faint blue flame. Water, foam and dry chemical may cause damage to electrical equipment.

SECTION V - REACTIVITY DATA
Stability: Stable under ordinary conditions of use and storage.
Conditions to Avoid: Fire. Do not allow mixing of this material with PVC. Do not heat above 460°F (238°C). Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures above 380°F (193°C). Recommended melt temperatures 360 – 390°F (182 – 199°C).
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): Strong acids and oxidizing agents. Do not compound with PVC or other chlorine containing polymers (to avoid acid formation).
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur
Hazardous Decomposition or Byproducts:
Trioxane, formaldehyde, paraformaldehyde, and formic acid.

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.
Effects of Overexposure:
For skin: Hot or molten material has the potential to cause thermal burns.
For inhalation: Formaldehyde, which may be released if overheated, may cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract.
Length of Exposure: No specific information available. Formaldehyde may cause respirator sensitization.
Severe Immediate Hazards: Dusts from grinding operations may aggravate existing lung disorders when proper protection is not used.
Carcinogenicity: No specific information available on the product. Formaldehyde is listed as a potential cancer hazard by OSHA, a probable human carcinogen by The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC, 2A), and a substance which can reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen by the National Testing Program (NTP). Formaldehyde should not pose a risk if exposures are kept below the OSHA
Permissible Exposure Limit.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has evaluated carbon black, which may be contained in this product, and found it to be possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B). Any carbon black in this product is wetted by the polymer system, and therefore, presents no likelihood of exposure under normal conditions of processing and handling.
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
For skin: If hot or molten polymer of hot vapors contact skin, cool rapidly with cold water. If polymer is stuck to skin, do not remove. Seek medical attention. Allow adhered polymer to come off naturally. Removal of adhered polymer may result in more tissue damage than if polymer is allowed to come off over time.
For inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Seek medical attention if difficulties in breathing occur.
Note to physicians: This product is essentially inert and nontoxic. However, if it is overheated or burns, gases such as carbon monoxide and formaldehyde may be released. Those exposed to off-gases may need to have their arterial blood gases and carboxyhemoglobin levels checked. If the carboxyhemoglobin levels are normal and the exposure occurred in an enclosed space, asphyxia (carbon dioxide replacing oxygen) is a possibility. Formaldehyde is a respiratory irritant gas. If patients may have inhaled high concentrations of irritating fumes, they should be monitored for delayed onset pulmonary edema.

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 grinding operations, use a NIOSH approved if there is a possibility of dust generation above permissible exposure limits or that decomposition vapors may be generated.
Ventilation: Operations involving grinding and machining of parts should be reviewed to assure that particle levels are kept below recommended standards.

Extinguishing Media: Water fog, dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide.
Special Firefighting Procedures:
Evacuate non-emergency personnel to a safe area. Firefighters should use selfcontained breathing apparatus. Avoid breathing smoke, fumes and decomposition products. Use water spray to quench smoldering elastomers. Product may melt after ignition to form flammable liquids. Burning produces intense heat, dense smoke and toxic gases, such as carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen and traces of hydrogen cyanide. Dusts from processing operations may be combustible.

Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): Strong acids or bases Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur
Hazardous Decomposition or Byproducts:
Decomposition through burning produces fumes consisting of organic particulate. Gaseous hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and may contain traces of toluene diisocyanate (TDI) or diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), other isocyanates, curatives, hydrogen cyanide, acrolein and oxides of nitrogen.

SECTION VI - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Routes of Entry: Inhalation
Severity of Effect: Mild
Length of Exposure: Lifetime
Target Organs: Lungs
Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic) LD50 is greater than 5 g/kg (rats, oral) Acute: None known from solid article. Fumes from hot wire cutting can be irritating and lead to coughing. These fumes could contain traces of TDI, MDI, other isocyanates and/or curatives. Exposure to isocyanates may produce an asthma-like reaction, with shortness of breath, wheezing or cough, which may occur after re-exposure to very low levels. Chronic: Animal studies indicate that chronic inhalation or overexposure of dusts may cause inflammation of the lungs, fibrosis and airway destruction.
Severe Immediate Hazards: Dusts from grinding operations may aggravate existing lung disorders when proper protection is not used.
Carcinogenicity: Not listed as a carcinogen
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: See Health Hazards
Emergency and First Aid Procedures: For eyes: Flush with clean lukewarm water (low pressure) if dust from grinding causes irritation.

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: Cutting elastomer by hot wire, hot branding or other thermal processing can form decomposition products. Local exhaust ventilation should be used to remove any fumes. If isocyanates or curatives are emitted, ventilation must be sufficient to ensure levels below the TLV for TDI (.005 ppm TWA/.002 ppm STEL), MDI (.005 ppm TWA), other isocyanates and curatives. Storage: Store elastomers in areas equipped with sprinkler systems. Store away from sparks, flames or other ignition sources.
Ecological Data: Under normal conditions: N/A

SECTION VIII - CONTROL MEASURES
Respiratory Protection: Use NIOSH approved respirator. For grinding operations, wear a dust respirator. If generating gas, vapor or fumes from hot wire, hot knife or other thermal processing operations, wear an air-purifying respirator with organic cartridge or supplied-air respirator if ventilation is inadequate.
Ventilation: Local exhaust recommended for thermal processing operations, as required to reduce dust, gas and vapor fume exposure below OSHA levels.
Eye/Face Protection: None required in normal use. For grinding operations, use safety goggles and face shield. Other Protective Clothing: None required
