    ALMACRYL P 501

    1. APPLICANT

    Agfa gevaent ltd of 372 whitehorse Road NUNAWADING VIC 3131 has submitted a polymer of low
    concern notification statement in support of their application for an assessment certificate for
    ALMACRYL P501.

    2. IDENTITY OF THE POLYMER

    Based on the nature of the chemical and the data provided, ALMACRYL P501, is not considered
    to be hazardous. Therefor, the exact chemical identity has been exempted from publication
    in the Full Public report.

    Trade name: ALMACRYL P501

    Method of Detection
    And determination: the polymer can be separated by gas
    Chromatography and identified by
    Mass specteoscopy

    3. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES

    Appearance at 20˚C and 101.3 kPa: yellow powder

    Melting Point: 100˚C

    Density: 1200 kg/m³ at 20˚C

    Water Solubility: 1.4% (gravitational evaluation)

    Hydrolysis as a Function of pH: not determined

    Flamability Limits: >200˚C

    Autoignition Temperature: >400˚C

    Explosive Properties: dust explosion possible

    Decomposition temperature: not determined

    Reactivity: reacts with strong oxidizing agents


    Comments on Physico-Chemical Properties

    The company has provided a result for “watersoluble fraction” as % weight with no further test details
    (see above). This seems very high as there are no functional groups likely to confer solubility and would
    appear to reflect low molecular weight impurities.

    The notifier has stated that under narmal conditions of use the polymer is not expected to break down
    by hydrolysis, thermal degradation, photodegradation or depolymerisation. While the polymer contains
    ester groups, hydrolysis is unlikely in the environmental pH range.

    The polymer does not contain any reactive functional group which would be expected to undergo
    reaction.

    The data provided are acceptable for a polymer of low concern.

    4. PURITY OF THE CHEMICAL

    Maximum Weight Percentage of


    Residual Monomers: <0.01%

    5. INDUSTRIAL USE FORMULATION AND VOLUME

    The notified polymer is used as an ingredient in dry electrophotographic colour developers and toners in
    the printing industry. It will be imported as a component (at a level of 1-5%) of a developer and (at a
    level of 80-100%) of a toner at a rate of 1 tonne per year for the first five years.

    The developers in plastic bottles and toner cartridges will be imported packed in fibreboard cartons.

    6. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE

    From the whaf the product containing the hotified polymer will be transported by road for distribution,
    to up to
    seven sites, in its original packaging for storage and use. Up to 12 workers would be involved in the
    process.

    During printing, a technician will empty four bottles of developer powder (containing metallic
    developer/carrier and small portion of the toner with 40 g of the notified polymer) into separate
    reservoirs of the printer. Four cartridges containing toner powder are also loaded separately to the
    printer. The cartridges remain closed during loading and is opened automatically by a valvular
    mechanism.
