3. HAZARDS INDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview:
APPEARANCE: Various colors; Characteristic odor
Potential Health Effects:
EYE: Solid or dust may cause irritation or corneal injury due to mechanical action.
SKIN: Essentially non-irritating to the skin. Mechanical injury only. Under normal
processing conditions, material is heated to elevated temperatures; contact with the
material may cause thermal burns. No adverse effects anticipated by skin absorption.
INGESTION: Very low toxicity if swallowed. Harmful effects not anticipated from
swallowing small amounts.
INHALATION: Dust may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract (nose and throat).
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
IF IN EYES: Flush eyes with plenty of water; remove contact lenses after the first 1-2
minutes then continue flushing for several minutes. Only mechanical effects expected.
IN CASE OF CONTACT: If molten material comes in contact with the skin, do not apply
ice but cool under ice water or running stream of water. DO NOT attempt to remove the
material from skin. Removal could result in severe tissue damage.
IF INHALED: Move person to fresh air; if effects occur, consult a physician.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire and Explosive Properties
Auto-Ignition Temperature: Aluminum dust may burn readily
Flash Point: N/A
Flammable Limits: Upper: N/A
Lower: N/A
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
Use Extinguisher Media Class D for dust and water spray for chip fires. DO NOT USE
Halogenated Agents.
FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Fire fighters and others who may be exposed to products of combustion should wear full
fire fighting turn out gear (full Bunker Gear) and self-contained breathing apparatus
(pressure demand NIOSH approved or equivalent). Fire fighting equipment should be
thoroughly decontaminated after use.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
Dust dispersion in air can be explosive and can generate explosive gases if in contact with
water.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
PROTECT PEOPLE: Chips or dust may present a slipping hazard. Do not allow build up
of chips, dust or contact of ships, dust with water
CLEANUP: Sweep up chips or dust in a waste disposal container.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: Good housekeeping and controlling dusts are necessary for safe handling of
product. Workers should be protected from the possibility of contact with molten resin
during fabrication. Large masses of molten polymer held at elevated temperatures for
extended periods of time may auto-ignite. Dust is a fire hazard
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
EXPOSURE CONTROLS: Adequate ventilation in work area is needed due to dust or
vapors created during fabrication.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE):
EYE/FACE PROTECTION: Safety glasses or face shield should be used. If exposed
to dust, chemical glasses may be required.
SKIN PROTECTION: No precautions other than clean body-covering clothing should
be needed. Use insulated gloves for thermal protection, when desired.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: In dusty atmospheres, use an approved respirator.
9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
APPEARANCE/ODOR: Various colors, Sublimation or Engraving process can create a
characteristic odor
BOILING POINT: N/A
VAPOR PRESSURE: N/A
VAPOR DENSITY: N/A
10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
CHEMICAL STABILITY: Stable
INCOMPATIBILITY: Reacts violently with halogenated hydrocarbons and oxidizers to
produce heat. Small particles can react with water
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Don not allow build up of chips, dust or contact of chips, dust
with water
11. TOXICOLOGY INFORMATION
No data available
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
MOVEMENT & PARTITIONING: In the terrestrial environment, material is expected to
remain in the soil. In the aquatic environment, material will sink and remain in the
sediment.
DEGRADATION & PERSISTENCE: This water insoluble polymeric solid is expected to be
inert in the environment. Surface photo degradation is expected with exposure to sunlight.
No appreciable biodegradation is expected.
ECOTOXICITY: Not expected to be acutely toxic, but chips may mechanically cause
adverse effects if ingested by waterfowl or aquatic life.
