Such information shouldbe requested from the supplier(s) of anyproduct(s) prior to working with it (them).The comments that follow are pertinentonly to the resins discussed, as additives and processing aidsused in fabrication will have their own safeuse profile and must be and SafetyPolyethylene resins are among the mostinert commercial POLYMERS and constituteno hazard in normal handling. For Regulated uses, such as food contact,your Dow sales representative can obtaincompliance letters for specific good housekeeping practiceshould be followed.

4 Workers should beprotected from possibility of skin or eyecontact with molten polymer. Safetyglasses are suggested as a minimalprecaution to prevent possible mechanicalor thermal injury to the eyes. Fabricationareas should be ventilated to carry awayfumes or vapours; workers should beassured of supply of fresh air. Workplaceenvironments should be kept clean andfree of resins will burn whensupplied with adequate amounts of heatand should be handled and stored awayfrom contact with direct flames and/orother ignition sources. In burning,polyethylene resins contribute high heatand may generate a dense black can be extinguished by conventionalmeans with water fog preferred. Inenclosed areas, fire fighters should beprovided with self-contained resins can be rejects and/or conversionwaste should preferably be recycledinstead of being disposed disposal of any wastes, be certain allapplicable national and local regulationsare met.

5 If these regulations are met, thefollowing is applicable for the polyethyleneresins as supplied. If fillers, processingaids or other materials have been added,their possible influence on handling anddisposal should be judged resins can be disposed ofeither by incineration or landfill. Withproperly controlled industrial, commercialor municipal incineration, particulate orgaseous discharge into the air can bemaintained within allowable products, such aspolyethylene resins, have high heatvalues and should be incinerated only inunits designed to handle high heats landfill, polyethylene resins are inert, donot degrade quickly, form a strong andpermanent soil base, and evolve virtuallyno gases or leachates known to pollutewater StewardshipThe Dow Chemical Company has afundamental concern for all who make,distribute, and use its products, and forthe environment in which we live.
