4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Description of first aid measures
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air; if effects occur, 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
Suitable extinguishing media: Water fog or fine spray. Dry chemical fire extinguishers. Carbon
dioxide fire extinguishers. Foam.

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 monoxide. Carbon dioxide.

Product name: NORDEL™ IP 4570 Hydrocarbon Rubber Issue Date: 30.10.2017

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: Use with adequate ventilation. 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. 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. Do not get
molten material in eyes, on skin or clothing. Avoid breathing process fumes. Workers should be
protected from the possibility of contact with molten resin. When appropriate, unique handling
information for containers can be found on the product label. See Section 8, EXPOSURE
CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION.

Conditions for safe storage: Store in accordance with good manufacturing practices.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Control parameters
Exposure limits are listed below, if they exist.
Component Regulation Type of listing Value/Notation
5-Ethylidenebicyclo ACGIH TWA 2 ppm
[2.2.1]hept-2-ene
ACGIH STEL 4 ppm

Page 3 of 9
Product name: NORDEL™ IP 4570 Hydrocarbon Rubber Issue Date: 30.10.2017

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). Safety glasses (with side
shields) should be consistent with EN 166 or equivalent. If there is a potential for exposure to
particles which could cause eye discomfort, wear chemical goggles. Chemical goggles should
be consistent with EN 166 or equivalent. 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 to protect from mechanical injury. Selection of
gloves will depend on the task. Use gloves with insulation for thermal protection (EN
407), when needed.
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.
Use the following CE approved air-purifying respirator: When dust/mist are present use a/an
Particulate filter, type P2. When combinations of vapors, acids, or dusts/mists are present use
a/an Organic vapor cartridge with a particulate pre-filter, type AP2.

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Ecotoxicological information appears in this section when such data is available.

Ecotoxicity
Acute toxicity to fish
Not expected to be acutely toxic to aquatic organisms.

Persistence and degradability

Biodegradability: This water-insoluble polymeric solid is expected to be inert in the
environment. Surface photodegradation is expected with exposure to sunlight. No
appreciable biodegradation is expected.

Bioaccumulative potential
Bioaccumulation: No bioconcentration is expected because of the relatively high molecular
weight (MW greater than 1000).

Mobility in Soil

subject to wind dispersion.
In the aquatic environment, material is expected to float.

Results of PBT and vPvB assessment

This mixture has not been assessed for persistence, bioaccumulation and toxicity (PBT).

Other adverse effects

No relevant data found.

13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

Disposal methods: For uncontaminated material the disposal options include mechanical and
chemical recycling or energy recovery. In some countries landfill is also allowed. For contaminated
material the options remain the same, although additional evaluation is required. For all countries the
disposal methods must be in compliance with national and provincial laws and any municipal or local
by-laws. All disposal methods must be in compliance with the EU framework Directives 2008/98/EC
and their subsequent adaptations, as implemented in National Laws and Regulations, as well as EU
Directives dealing with priority waste streams. Transboundary shipment of wastes must be in
compliance with Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 and subsequent modifications.
