| VIII. SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION | |
EYE PROTECTION: GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS IN DUSTY CONDITIONS.
SKIN PROTECTION: USE INSULATED GLOVES WHEN HANDLING MOLTEN MATERIAL.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (SPECIFIC TYPE):
NIOSH APPROVED DUST RESPIRATOR RECOMMENDED. IF MATERIAL IS BEING BURNED
WEAR AN ORGANIC RESPIRATOR.
VENTILATION RECOMMENDED:
LOCAL VENTILATION IN DUSTY CONDITIONS, OR IF THERMAL DECOMPOSITION OCCURS.
OTHER PROTECTION: GLOVES AND PROTECTIVE GARMENTS WHEN HANDLING MOLTEN
MATERIAL.
| IX. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS | |
HYGIENIC PRACTICES IN HANDLING & STORAGE: WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER.
PRECAUTIONS FOR REPAIR & MAINTENANCE OF CONTAMINATED EQUIPMENT:
ELIMINATE IGNITION SOURCES.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS:
STORE IN A SPRINKLER PROTECTED WAREHOUSE. SINCE HIGH DENSITY IS A
POLYETHYLENE, IT WILL BURN WITH A HOT FLAME IF IGNITED. AVOID CONTACT
WITH IGNITION SOURCES SUCH AS OPEN FLAMES. KEEP A FIRE EXTINGUISHER NEAR
IF WELDING IS DONE IN THE AREA OF HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE. IF A HEAT
SOURCE IS PRESENT, KEEP THE AREA WELL VENTILATED.
