| SECTION III - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION | |
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
NO SPECIAL DANGERS ARE KNOWN. USE WITHIN SPECIFIED PROCESSING PARAMETERS,
HIGH TEMPERATURES COULD EVOLVE IRRITATING AND/OR TOXIC FUMES.
POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARDS:
SKIN: NOT ANTICIPATED UNDER RECOMMENDED USAGE CONDITIONS
EYES:
NOT ANTICIPATED UNDER RECOMMENDED USAGE CONDITIONS. MACHINING CHIPS OR
DUST MAY CAUSE EYE IRRITATION.
INHALATION:
NOT ANTICIPATED UNDER RECOMMENDED USAGE CONDITIONS. IF HEATED MAY CAUSE
IRRITATION.
INGESTION:
NOT ANTICIPATED UNDER RECOMMENDED USAGE CONDITIONS. MAY CAUSE NAUSEA,
VOMITING AND DIARRHEA.
INGREDIENTS FOUND ON ONE OF THE OSHA DESIGNATED CARCINOGEN LISTS ARE
LISTED BELOW: NONE.
| SECTION IV - FIRST AID MEASURES | |
SKIN:
NOT ANTICIPATED UNDER RECOMMENDED USAGE CONDITIONS. FOR HOT PRODUCT,
IMMEDIATELY IMMERSE IN OR FLUSH AFFECTED AREA WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF COLD
WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. COVER WITH CLEAN COTTON SHEETING OR GAUZE
AND SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE.
EYES:
NOT ANTICIPATED UNDER RECOMMENDED USAGE CONDITIONS. IF THERE IS
IRRITATION,
FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. SEEK MEDICAL
ADVICE.
INHALATION:
NOT ANTICIPATED UNDER RECOMMENDED USAGE CONDITIONS. MAY CAUSE INFLUENZA
LIKE SYMPTOMS IF THERMAL DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS ARE INHALED ("POLYMER
FUME-FEVER"), CHILLS, FEVER, AND HEADACHE. AVOID CONTAMINATION OF TOBACCO
PRODUCTS. REMOVE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, PERFORM
MOUTH-TO-MOUTH RESUSCITATION. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INGESTION:
NOT ANTICIPATED UNDER RECOMMENDED USAGE CONDITIONS. IF A LARGE AMOUNT IS
SWALLOWED SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
ADVICE TO PHYSICIAN:
EXPECT INFLUENZA-LIKE SYMPTOMS IF THERMAL DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS ARE
INHALED:
CHILLS, FEVER, HEADACHE, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, COUGHING. THIS IS KNOWN AS
"POLYMER FUME-FEVER" AND WILL PASS AFTER 24 TO 48 HOURS PROVIDING NO
FURTHER EXPOSURE OCCURS
| SECTION V - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES | |
FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES:
FLASH POINT: DOES NOT FLASH
FLASH POINT METHOD: N/A
AUTO IGNITION TEMPERATURE: NOT KNOWN
UPPER FLAME LIMIT (VOLUME % IN AIR): N/A
LOWER FLAME LIMIT (VOLUME % IN AIR): N/A
OXYGEN INDEX: >95%
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: WATER, FOAM, CARBON DIOXIDE, DRY CHEMICAL.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSIVE HAZARDS:
DOES NOT BURN WITHOUT EXTERNAL SOURCE OF FUEL. FLUOROPOLYMERS CAN INCREASE
THE RELATIVE TOXIC PROPERTIES OF THE GASES EVOLVED DURING A FIRE.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PRECAUTIONS/INSTRUCTIONS:
USE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
| SECTION VI - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
IN CASE OF SPILLS OR OTHER RELEASE:
COLLECT SPILLED MATERIAL IN APPROPRIATE CONTAINER FOR DISPOSAL.
| SECTION VII - HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
NORMAL HANDLING:
PRODUCT IS PHYSIOLOGICALLY INERT AND NON-TOXIC AT NORMAL TEMPERATURES.
ABOVE 250 DEG. C, SOME DECOMPOSITION OF PTFE PRODUCTS CAN BE EXPECTED WITH
EVOLUTION OF GASEOUS AND PARTICULATE PRODUCTS, WHICH ARE TOXIC IF INHALED.
THIS CAN GIVE RISE TO A CHARACTERISTIC SYNDROME WITH INFLUENZA TYPE
SYMPTOMS KNOWN AS "POLYMER FUME FEVER". THESE SYMPTOMS SUBSIDE WITHIN
24-48 HOURS AWAY FROM FURTHER EXPOSURE WITH NO LONG-TERM EFFECTS. KEEP
AWAY FROM IGNITION SOURCES - DO NOT SMOKE WHILE USING FLUOROPOLYMERS.
STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS: NO SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS.
| SECTION VIII - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION | |
VENTILATION:
ENSURE GOOD VENTILATION OR EXHAUST IF THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF FUMES
BEING EVOLVED. NOT REQUIRED IF MATERIAL IS USED WITHIN SPECIFIED
PROCESSING PARAMETERS.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION: NOT APPLICABLE
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
NONE REQUIRED IF MATERIAL IS USED WITHIN SPECIFIED PROCESSING PARAMETERS.
NORMAL SAFETY EQUIPMENT SHOULD ALWAYS BE USED IN AN INDUSTRIAL
ENVIRONMENT. EYE PROTECTION MUST BE WORN DURING ANY MACHINING OPERATIONS.
ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS:
HEAT RESISTANT CLOTHING AND SKIN COVERING WHEN WORKING WITH HOT PRODUCT
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE HANDLING MATERIAL. KEEP TOBACCO PRODUCTS AWAY FROM
SOURCES OF
CONTAMINATION: HANDS AND CLOTHES.
