SECTION 4. First aid measures

Description of necessary first-aid measures

Inhalation Product does not release fumes at ambient temperatures. If

exposed to fumes from heated polymer move to fresh air
environment.

Skin contact At room temperature the product is not considered harmful

when in contact with skin. In case of skin contact with molten
polymer immediately submerse the affected area in cold water
to cool down polymer.

Eye contact At room temperature the product is not considered hazardous

in contact with eyes. In case of eye contact with molten
polymer, cool under running water for 3-5 minutes. Do not
attempt to remove molten polymer. Get medical attention
immediately.

Ingestion At room temperature the product is not considered harmful

when swallowed.

Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

Advice on common storage Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place.

SECTION 8. Exposure controls/personal protection

Components with workplace control parameters

NATIONAL OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS

Contains no substances with occupational exposure limit values.

Exposure controls

Engineering measures

If user operations generate dust, fumes or mists, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants
below the exposure limit.

Use only in an area equipped with explosion proof exhaust ventilation.

The engineering controls also need to keep gas, vapor or dust concentrations below any lower explosive
limits.
Ensure adequate ventilation.

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection No personal respiratory protective equipment normally

required. In the case of respirable dust and/or fumes, use self-
contained breathing apparatus.

Hand protection No hand protection required under normal conditions. Molten

polymer: Wear heat-resistant gloves.

Eye protection No eye protection is required under normal conditions. Molten

polymer: Wear safety glasses with side shields.

Skin and body protection No special body protection is required under normal conditions.
Molten polymer: Wear heat-resistant protective clothing.
