| HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS | |
INTERCONNECTION PRODUCTS ARE NOT HAZARDOUS DURING PROPER INSTALLATION, BUT
THE HEAT-SHRINKABLE TUBING MAY EMIT HAZARDOUS THERMAL DECOMPOSITION AND
COMBUSTION BYPRODUCTS IF OVERHEATED TO DEGRADATION. SEE "THERMAL
DEGRADATION AND COMBUSTION BYPRODUCT" SECTION OF THIS MSDS FOR MORE SPECIFIC
INFORMATION. BASE POLYMER MATERIALS INCLUDE POLYETHYLENE AND
OLEFIN COPOLYMERS, FLUOROPOLYMERS, CHLOROPOLYMERS, POLYAMIDES, POLYESTERS,
AND SILICONES. HEAT-SHRINKABLE PRODUCTS MAY BE COATED WITH OR USED IN
CONJUNCTION WITH ADHESIVES/MASTICS WHICH ARE BASED ON OLEFIN COPOLYMERS OR
POLYAMIDES.
NOTE:
THE SOLDER PRESENT IN THESE PRODUCTS IS ENCASED IN HEAT-SHRINKABLE TUBING.
THE SOLDER CONSISTS OF METALS. PRODUCT TESTING HAS DEMONSTRATED THAT THERE
IS NO EXPOSURE TO METAL FUMES, EVEN AT TEMPERATURES WHERE THERMAL
DEGRADATION OF THE TUBING OCCURS.
| PRODUCT APPLICATIONS | |
TYPICAL USES OF INTERCONNECTION PRODUCTS INCLUDE WIRE OR CABLE JOINING,
SPLICING AND TERMINATION, ELECTRICAL INSULATION, STRAIN RELIEF AND
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION.
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | |

| HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION | |
EXPOSURE LIMITS:
THERE ARE NO ESTABLISHED EXPOSURE LIMITS FOR POLYMER MIXTURES.
NOTE:
THE SOLDER PRESENT IN THESE PRODUCTS IS ENCASED IN HEAT-SHRINKABLE TUBING.
THE SOLDER CONSISTS OF METALS. PRODUCT TESTING HAS DEMONSTRATED THAT THERE
IS NO EXPOSURE TO METAL FUMES, EVEN AT TEMPERATURES WHERE THERMAL
DEGRADATION OF THE TUBING OCCURS.
HEALTH EFFECTS/SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE:
PROPER INSTALLATION OF THIS PRODUCT CREATES NO KNOWN ACUTE OR CHRONIC HEALTH
HAZARDS.
ACUTE (SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE):
EYE CONTACT:
CONTACT WITH MOLTEN MATERIAL MAY CAUSE THERMAL BURNS.
SKIN CONTACT:
THIS PRODUCT IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE A SKIN IRRITANT. CONTACT WITH THE MOLTEN
MATERIAL MAY CAUSE THERMAL BURNS. NO HARMFUL EFFECTS ARE EXPECTED FROM SKIN
ABSORPTION OF THIS PRODUCT.
INGESTION (SWALLOWING):
INGESTION OF THIS PRODUCT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY. THERE IS INSUFFICIENT
INFORMATION AVAILABLE ON THIS MATERIAL TO PREDICT THE EFFECTS FROM
INGESTION.
INHALATION (BREATHING):
IN COMMON WITH MOST ORGANIC MATERIALS, THERMAL DEGRADATION AND COMBUSTION
BYPRODUCTS MAY BE TOXIC AND SHOULD NOT BE INHALED. (SEE COMMENTS BELOW AND
THE THERMAL DEGRADATION AND COMBUSTION BYPRODUCTS SECTION FOR MORE SPECIFIC
INFORMATION.)
CHRONIC (LONG-TERM EXPOSURE):
NONE OF THE INGREDIENTS TO WHICH USERS MAY BE EXPOSED AND WHICH ARE PRESENT
AT EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN 0.1% OF THE PRODUCT, ARE LISTED BY OSHA, NTP, OR
IARC AS SUSPECT CARCINOGENS.
NOTE:
PRODUCT TESTING HAS DEMONSTRATED THAT THERE IS NO EXPOSURE TO METAL FUMES
FROM THE SOLDER PRESENT IN THESE PRODUCTS, EVEN AT TEMPERATURES WHERE
THERMAL DEGRADATION OF THE TUBING OCCURS.
COMMENTS:
OVERHEATING THE PRODUCT TO CHARRING OR BURNING MAY PRODUCE VAPORS THAT MAY
CAUSE EYE, SKIN, NOSE AND THROAT IRRITATION. PERSONS WITH PRE-EXISTING EYE,
SKIN, OR RESPIRATORY DISORDERS (E.G., ASTHMA CONDITIONS) MAY BE MORE
SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE EFFECTS OF THESE VAPORS.
| STORAGE, HANDLING, AND PREVENTATIVE MEASURES | |
STABILITY AT ROOM TEMPERATURE:
THIS PRODUCT IS STABLE UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: AVOID OVERHEATING OF PRODUCT.
INCOMPATIBILITIES (MATERIALS TO AVOID): NONE KNOWN.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION:
WILL NOT OCCUR. NO KNOWN POLYMERIZATION CONDITIONS TO AVOID.
THERMAL DEGRADATION AND COMBUSTION BYPRODUCTS:
AT TEMPERATURES HIGHER THAN THOSE RECOMMENDED FOR PROPER INSTALLATION, MOST
SIGNIFICANTLY IF THE PRODUCT BURNS, THE THERMAL DEGRADATION AND COMBUSTION
BYPRODUCTS WILL DEPEND ON THE BASE POLYMER USED, AND MAY INCLUDE, BUT ARE
NOT LIMITED TO, CARBON MONOXIDE, CARBON DIOXIDE, ALDEHYDES, ACETIC ACID, LOW
MOLECULAR WEIGHT HYDROCARBONS, SILICON DIOXIDE, HYDROGEN CHLORIDE, HYDROGEN
FLUORIDE, HYDROGEN BROMIDE, FLUORO-OLEFINS, AND OXIDES OF NITROGEN,
PHOSPHORUS, AND SULFUR. THESE COMBUSTION BYPRODUCTS MAY BE TOXIC AND SHOULD
NOT BE INHALED. AT TEMPERATURES THAT MAY BE REACHED IN THE CASE OF A FIRE,
DEPENDING ON THE SOLDER, OXIDE FUMES OR PARTICULATES OF ANTIMONY, BISMUTH,
LEAD, SILVER OR TIN MAY BE RELEASED.
HANDLING:
FOR PRODUCTS CONTAINING A THERMOCHROMIC TEMPERATURE INDICATOR, DISCONTINUE
HEATING AFTER THE COLOR CHANGES FROM RED TO COLORLESS. AVOID ANY VAPORS
GIVEN OFF IF THE PRODUCT IS HEATED TO DECOMPOSITION, AS SHOWN BY A DARKENING
AND BROWNING OF THE SLEEVE. AVOID CONTACT WITH MOLTEN MATERIAL.
HEAT-RESISTANT GLOVES ARE REQUIRED IF HOT PRODUCTS ARE HANDLED AFTER
INSTALLATION. DO NOT CONSUME FOOD, BEVERAGES OR TOBACCO IN THE IMMEDIATE
WORK AREA. WASH HANDS BEFORE EATING, DRINKING OR SMOKING.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS:
AVOID HEATING PRODUCTS BEYOND TEMPERATURES REQUIRED FOR NORMAL INSTALLATION.
SEE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER INSTALLATION PROCEDURES. IF PRODUCT
CHARS OR BURNS, IMMEDIATELY STOP HEATING. AVOID INHALING ANY FUMES WHICH MAY
EVOLVE UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES. ALLOW ANY VAPORS TO DISPERSE AND VENTILATE
BEFORE CONTINUING WORK IN THE AREA.
VENTILATION:
IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOOD INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE PRACTICE, ENSURE ADEQUATE
VENTILATION DURING INSTALLATION.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
IF INSTALLATION OCCURS IN A CONFINED, UNVENTILATED AREA, NIOSH/MSHA-APPROVED
RESPIRATORS ARE RECOMMENDED.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING:
OSHA, ANSI, OR NIOSH GUIDELINES SHOULD BE FOLLOWED. IF THERE IS A DANGER OF
MOLTEN MATERIAL CONTACTING THE SKIN OR EYES, USE EYE/FACE PROTECTION AND
HEAT RESISTANT GLOVES. IF IT IS NECESSARY TO HANDLE GROSSLY OVERHEATED OR
FIRE-DAMAGED PRODUCTS, WEAR NATURAL RUBBER GLOVES TO PREVENT POSSIBLE
CONTACT WITH POTENTIALLY CORROSIVE INORGANIC ACID RESIDUES.
TRANSPORTATION:
THESE PRODUCTS ARE NON-HAZARDOUS UNDER DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
REGULATIONS 49, CFR SECTION 171.8, IATA, IMO, AND AFR 71-4. BECAUSE THERE
ARE NO APPLICABLE SHIPPING REGULATIONS FOR THESE PRODUCTS, LABELS ARE NOT
REQUIRED ON THE OUTSIDE SHIPPING CONTAINER FOR THESE PRODUCTS AND ALL
PRODUCTS MAY BE SHIPPED THROUGH THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICES.
DISPOSAL:
DISPOSE OF IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS. IF
THERE ARE LOCAL REGULATIONS COVERING THE CONTROLLED INCINERATION OF
HALOGENATED MATERIALS, THEN ALL HALOGEN-CONTAINING PRODUCTS WILL BE SUBJECT
TO SUCH REGULATIONS. REFER TO THE PRODUCT LITERATURE FOR IDENTIFICATION OF
HALOGEN-CONTAINING PRODUCTS.
INSTALLATION:
FOLLOW APPROPRIATE RAYCHEM INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND APPLICATION GUIDES
TO ENSURE THAT INSTALLATION IS PERFORMED PROPERLY. ENSURE THAT ANY LOCAL
REQUIREMENTS/LEGISLATION CONCERNING THE USE OF HAND-HELD ELECTRICAL
EQUIPMENT ARE OBSERVED. WHEN USING IR (INFRARED) HEATING DEVICES, OBSERVE
SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS. DO NOT TOUCH HOT SURFACES ON INSTALLATION EQUIPMENT.
| EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES | |
EYES:
IF EYE IRRITATION OCCURS, HOLD EYELIDS APART AND FLUSH AFFECTED AREA(S) WITH
CLEAN WATER. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
SKIN:
FIRST AID IS NORMALLY NOT REQUIRED. AFTER HANDLING PRODUCT, IT IS GOOD WORK
PRACTICE TO WASH YOUR HANDS. IF MOLTEN MATERIAL CONTACTS SKIN, COOL AREA
IMMEDIATELY IN WATER. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE MATERIAL FROM THE SKIN. TREAT
AS A BURN, AND SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INGESTION:
NOT A NORMAL ROUTE OF EXPOSURE. HOWEVER, IF SWALLOWED AND SYMPTOMS DEVELOP,
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INHALATION:
IF RESPIRATORY SYMPTOMS OR OTHER SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE DEVELOP, MOVE VICTIM
TO FRESH AIR. IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. IF BREATHING
DIFFICULTIES DEVELOP, OXYGEN SHOULD BE ADMINISTERED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. IF VICTIM IS NOT BREATHING, IMMEDIATELY
BEGIN ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. KEEP VICTIM WARM AND QUIET; SEEK IMMEDIATE
MEDICAL ATTENTION.
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE OF RELEASE OR SPILL:
SWEEP UP AND COLLECT IN SUITABLE CONTAINER FOR DISPOSAL OR REUSE.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
TOXIC FUMES MAY EVOLVE IN A FIRE. SEE ALSO SECTIONS ON THERMAL DEGRADATION
AND COMBUSTION BYPRODUCTS AND OTHER PRECAUTIONS.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH A FULL
FACEPIECE OPERATED IN THE POSITIVE DEMAND MODE WHEN FIGHTING FIRES.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
