INFORMATION ON INGREDIENT |
|
|
This product contains no dangerous components. |
|
|
This product is not harmful. |
|
|
INHALATION:
|
After accidental inhalation of fumes or thermal
decomposition products, using self-protection, remove the person from the
danger zone and apply artificial respiration if necessary. Seek medical help
and keep quiet and warm. |
|
|
SKIN CONTACT:
|
After contact with molten polymer, immediately cool
with cold water for a prolonged time. Remove affected clothing. Do not peel
polymer from skin. Cover burns with sterile dressings. Obtain medical
attention. For skin irritation caused by glass fibre, thoroughly wash the affected area
with water, do not rub. |
|
|
EYE CONTACT:
|
If a foreign body (splinter, chip) enters the eye do
not rub. Rinse immediately with plenty of water. Seek medical attention. |
| 5. |
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES |
|
|
Suitable extinguishing media:
|
Water, foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide. |
|
|
Unsuitable
extinguishing media:
|
None known. |
|
|
Special protective
equipment for firefighting:
|
Wear self contained breathing apparatus. |
|
|
Additional advice:
|
This product ignites in a flame and continues to
burn on removal of the source. With thermal decomposition toxic and
combustible gasses and steam are released. There is a danger of the fire
spreading through spontaneous ignition of the gaseous decomposition products.
Molten product must therefore be cooled with water.
Water used to extinguish the fire and fire remainders must be collected. Fire
hydrants must be controlled and water disposed of, in accordance with local
regulations. |
| 6. |
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES |
|
|
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS: |
Before entry of swarf waste to
sewage, it should be mechanically cleaned of product remainders. |
|
|
METHODS FOR CLEANING UP: |
Mechanical |
|
|
General Advice:
|
Avoid overheating of material
by improper handling. Avoid dust generation. |
|
|
Technical measures:
|
For mechanical operations local
extraction / ventilation is recommended to ensure that less than the 8.1
limit is achieved. Where dust is produced, measures must be taken to avoid static
electricity discharge. |
|
|
General Advice:
|
The appropriate company
regulations for fire prevention are to be followed. |
|
|
Special
requirements: |
None |
|
|
Guidelines for materials within the
workingplace:
|
For mechanical operations the following are to be observed (TRGS 900,
Standard 2000): |
| |
|
Respirable dust: MAC 6 mg/m3 |
|
|
Respiratory protection:
|
During dusty operations use respiratory protection (e.g. filter mask
with P1 filter). |
|
|
Eye protection: |
For mechanical operations wear
safety glasses with side pieces. |
|
|
Skin protection:
|
Skin protection should be used
(barrier cream).
Persons sensitive to glass fibre should wear leather protective gloves. For mechanical processing of glass fibre reinforced products, loose fitting,
tight work clothes should be worn. |
|
|
Hygiene measures:
|
General industrial hygiene
regulations are to be observed. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday. Do not eat, drink or smoke in the workplace. |

STABILITY AND REACTIVITY |
|
|
Conditions to avoid: |
Temperatures > 300°C (Start of the thermal decomposition) |
|
|
Substances to avoid: |
Strong, concentrated acids,
oxidizing media. |
|
|
Hazards decomposition products:
|
With carbonization and incomplete combustion toxic gasses develop,
predominantly carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. In addition nitric oxide,
amine, ammonia, ecaprolactam, nitrile, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, aldehyde,
hydrogen cyanide, sulphur dioxide can be generated, as well as small quantities
of ketone and acids. |

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION |
| |
With proper use and in accordance with regulations there are no known
dangers to health.
Contact with molten product can cause burns.
With mechanical operations free glass fibre or dust can cause skin,
respiratory and eye irritation. By following the rules there is little or no
likelihood of inhaling fibre. |
| 12. |
ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION |
| |
Because of insolubility in water separation by filtration or
sedimentation is possible. |
| 13. |
DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS |
| |
Uncontaminated product can be recycled.
If no use is possible, product waste can, in accordance with official local
regulations, be mixed with household waste or incinerated in an appropriate
place. |
