| FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA |
|
| |
|
| FLASH IGNITION TEMPERATURE: |
N/A |
| UNUSUAL FIRE, EXPLOSION HAZARDS: |
The solid film is combustible. There are no unusual hazards. During processing, the film can acquire a strong static charge. Avoid dis- charge into dust or solvent laden air as a flash fire or explosion may result. |
| HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: |
Incomplete combustion produces carbon monoxide, and hydrocar- bon oxidation products including organic acids, aldehydes, and alcohols. |
| SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: |
Use self-contained breathing apparatus if exposed to fumes. |
| EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: |
Water, carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical. |
| STABILITY AT ROOM TEMPERATURE: |
Stable. |
| MATERIALS TO AVOID: |
Strong acids or alkalis may hydrolyze film. |
| CONDITIONS TO AVOID: |
Temperatures above 235°C. Strong acids and bases may hydrolyze. |
| HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: |
Carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon oxidation products, including organic acids, acetyl aldehydes, and alcohol. |
| POLYMERIZATION: |
Will not occur. |
| |
|
| ACUTE OR IMMEDIATE EFFECTS: |
Routes of entry and symptoms. |
| INGESTION: |
Low to zero ingestion toxicity. |
| SKIN: |
No annual tests have been run. No skin problems are anticipated from normal handling of the film. |
| EYE: |
Mechanical irritation only. |
| INHALATION: |
Fumes and vapors which are irritating to the eyes, nose, and throat may be produced at temperatures about 235°C. The exposure may result in reddening, tearing and itching of the eyes and soreness in the nose and throat together with coughing. |
| |
|
- If exposed to fumes from overheating or combustion, move to fresh air. Consult a physician if symptoms persist.
- Wash skin with soap and plenty of water.
- Flush eyes with water. Consult a physician if symptoms persist.
- If molten film contacts skin, cool rapidly with cold water. Do not attempt to peel film from skin.
- Obtain medical attention from thermal burn.
|
| |
|
| CHRONIC EFFECTS: |
None are known. |
| MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: |
Upper respiratory and lung diseases could be aggravated if exposed to fumes Above 235°C. |
| |
|
| EYE: |
Safety glasses recommended. |
| SKIN: |
Gloves recommended for handling hot film. |
| VENTILATION: |
Normal ventilation except at temperatures above 235˚C where local ventilation may be required. |
| RESPIRATOR: |
Not required. |
| |
|
| SPILL, LEAK, OR RELEASE: |
Pick up film to avoid a slipping hazard. |
| WASTE DISPOSAL: |
Landfill is preferred. Disposal methods must conform to federal, state, and local regulations. |
| AQUATIC TOXICITY: |
No data. However, toxicity is expected to be low because of low solubility of the film in water. |
| STORAGE CONDITIONS: |
Store in a cool, dry place. Keep packages closed to prevent contamination. |
