4. First aid measures
General advice:
No special measures necessary.
After inhalation:
After accidental inhalation of thermal decompositon products, remove person from the danger zone. Oxygen supply,
apply artificial respiration if necessary. Keep quiet and warm and seek medical help.
After skin contact:

After eye contact:

If a foreign body (splinter, chip) enters the eye do not rub. Immobilize the eye, cover both eyes with bandages,
consult an eye specialist.
5. Firefighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media:
Water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical foam.
Unsuitable extinguishing media:

Water jet.
Hazardous combustion products / fire gases:

With carbonization and incomplete combustion toxic gases develop, predominantly carbon dioxide and carbon
monoxide. The development of further fission and oxidation products is dependant on the conditions of burning.
Traces of other toxic substances may develop under certain conditions of burning.
The release of dense black smoke, nitrogen oxide, amines, nitriles, ammonia, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons,
aldehydes, caprolactam, oranic acids and hydrogen cyanide is possible.
Special protective equipment for firefighting:

If exposed to fumes and carbonization gases during fire-fighting measures, rescue operations and cleanup wear a
self-contained breathing apparatus.
Additional advice:
The product ignites in a flame and continues to burn on removal of the source.
In an advanced state of fire, the molten polymer must be cooled with water. Water used to extinguish the fire and
fire remainders must be collected and water disposed of, in accordance with local regulations.

6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions:
Environmental precautions:
Methods for cleaning up:

Mechanical cleaning up.
Avoid dry sweeping. Use an appropriate suction device for cleaning to avoid the generation of dust.
7. Handling and storage

Handling:
Avoid overheating of material by improper handling. The "Ensinger machining recommendations for semi-finished
engineering plastics" are to be observed.
Mechanical processing should generate as little dust as possible. A local extraction system must be installed, or
else a proper ventilation of the workplace must be guaranteed.
Take measures against static discharge. Keep away from sources of ignition.
Avoid inhalation of dust/mist/vapour.
General industrial hygiene regulations are to be observed.

Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.
Tobacco should not be kept in the workplace.
Do not eat, drink or smoke in the workplace.
Storage:
The appropriate company regulations for fire prevention are to be followed.
8. Exposure controls / personal protection

Control parameters:
In case of mechanical processing the general limit for dust is valid.
Measures to prevent exposure:

The working area should be well ventilated.
Respiratory protection:
Wear protective breathing apparatus in case of dust exposure and/or insufficient ventilation (e.g. DIN EN 143 type
FFP1/FFP2)
Eye protection:
For mechanical operations wear safety glasses with side pieces or fully closed and tight-fitting goggles (DIN EN
166).
Hand / skin protection:

Skin protection should be used (barrier cream containing tanning agent).

the present state of knowledge negative ecological effects are not expected.
13. Disposal considerations

Recovery / recycling:
Product residues can be recycled or treated in an energy recovery plant.
When segregated, unpolluted product residues can be recycled mechanically.
European waste cataloque:

The unpolluted product has no dangerous properties and is therefore not a hazardous waste within the meaning of
regulation on the european Liste of wastes.

15. Regulatory informaton

Information on regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH):
According to annex II of the REACH regulation there is no legal obligation to compile safety data sheets for articles.
We explicitly would like to point out that the present product handling information sheet (PHIS) is a voluntary
information sheet for the handling of products, based on the same principle as our safety data sheets.
A chemical safety assessment ist not necessary for articles and therefore has not been carried out.
Information pursuant to Article 33: That article doesn`t contain any substance meeting the criteria in Article 57 and
identified in accordance with Article 59(1) in a concentration above 0,1 % weight by weight (w/w).
EU regulations:
According to regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP), directives 67/548/EC and 1999/45/EC articles are not subject to
classification and labelling requirements.
No dangerous substance in the sense of EU-directives.
National regulations:
