3 Unusual F ire & Explosion Hazards Dust is ammable when nely divided ( less t han 200 mesh) and suspended in air. Combustion products may be hazardous. Pg. 2 POLYPROPYLENE Material Safety data SheetV. Health Hazard data OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit ACGIH Thre shold Limit Value 15 mg/m3 total dust, 5 mg/m3 re spirable dusts. 10 mg/m3 total dust Carcinogen - NTP Program Carcinogen - IARC P rogram NO NO Symptoms of Exposure POLYPROPYLENE heated t o 700 deg.
4 F can irr itate the respiratory tract. Medical Conditions Aggravated By Exposure None known, however, seek medical attention if c onstant irr itation occurs. If thermal decomposition occurs, upper respiratory, e ye, nose, and t hroat irr itation may result. Primary Route(s) of Entry Inhalation of particulates. Emergency F irst Aid Molten mater ial. If molten Material c omes in c onta ct with t he skin, cool under running water. Do not att empt t o remove t he molten mater ial f rom the skin. Get medical attention. VI. Reactivity data STABILITY Unstable XStable INCOMPATABIL ITY Hazardous May Occur Polymerization X Will Not Occur Conditions To AvoidNone Known Mater ials To AvoidStrong oxidizing agents.
5 Conditions To AvoidNone Known Hazardous Decomposition P roducts: Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, organic oxidation products, acr id smoke, and fumes. VII . Environmental Protection P rocedures Spil l Sweep up for Disposal or reuse. Waste Disposal ation or land ll - dispose of in accordance with Federal, State and Local regulations. VII I. Special Protect ion Informatio n Eye Protection Skin Protection Glasses with side shields.
6 Use insulated gloves when handli ng molten Material . Respiratory P rotection (Speci c Type) - NIOSH approved dust re spirator recommended. If Material is being burned wear an organic respirator. Ventil ation Recommended - Local ventil ation in dusty c onditions, or if t her mal decomposition occurs. Other Protection Gloves and protective garments when handli ng molten mater ial. IX. Special Precautions Hygienic P ractices In Handli ng & Storage: Wash with soap and water. Precautions F or Repair & Maintenance Of Contaminated Equipment: Eli minate ignition sources.
7 Other Precautions Avoid excess breathin g of vapors, fumes, or smoke that may be rele ased durin g thermal processin g. Store in a sprin kler protected ware house. Natural Homopolymer POLYPROPYLENE will burn if ignited.
