Potential Health Effects
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
INHALATION: Not a probable route of exposure for product as
shipped. Exposure to talc encapsulated in the polymer is
not likely.
The potential for exposure to hazardous vapors or
particulates produced during heating or other
fabrication activities has not been evaluated. The
effects of overexposure to components of this product
that may be present during normal use are noted below.
Since the composition of the vapors evolved during
heating has not been analyzed, the possibility exists
for exposure to other hazardous substances not
mentioned below.
SKIN CONTACT: No irritation is expected from handling film.
EYE CONTACT: Not a probable route of exposure for film.
INGESTION: Not a probable route of exposure for film.
Inhalation of NMP may cause irritation of the nose and throat with
sneezing, sore throat or runny nose; or non-specific effects such
as headache, nausea and weakness.
Skin contact with NMP may cause skin irritation with itching,
burning, redness, swelling or rash. Human experience or case
reports have identified the following potential effects from
overexposure: Prolonged contact may cause severe skin irritation
with burning, redness, swelling, pain, blisters, cracking, or
rash. There are inconclusive or unverified reports of human
sensitization. Skin permeation may occur in amounts capable of
producing the effects of systemic toxicity.
Eye contact with NMP may cause eye irritation with tearing, pain
or blurred vision. Low vapor concentrations did cause eye
irritation in some individuals.
Carcinogenicity Information
None of the components present in this material at concentrations
equal to or greater than 0.1% are listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA or ACGIH
as a carcinogen.

FIRST AID MEASURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
First Aid
INHALATION
If large amounts of dust are inhaled, or if exposed to fumes from
overheating or combustion, remove to fresh air. Consult a
physician if breathing is difficult or if symptoms persist.
SKIN CONTACT
Wash with soap and water after handling. If skin irritation
develops, consult a physician.
EYE CONTACT
Flush eyes with water. Consult a physician if irritation persists.
INGESTION
Not a probable route of exposure for films.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Flammable Properties
Not a fire or explosion hazard.
The flammability characteristic of polyimide film is
reported as "self-extinguishing".
Polyimide film chars but does not burn. However, polyimide
film will burn in an atmosphere of 100% oxygen. The major
off-gases are carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.
The processing of polyimide films can cause the generation
of static charge. Precautions for static charges should
also be taken when removing plastic films used as protective
packaging for polyimide films.
Extinguishing Media
Use any available extinguishing media.
Fire Fighting Instructions
None required.

ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Safeguards (Personnel)
NOTE: Review FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES and HANDLING (PERSONNEL)
sections before proceeding with clean-up. Use appropriate
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT during clean-up.
Accidental Release Measures
Practice good housekeeping to prevent and eliminate slipping
hazards.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
HANDLING AND STORAGE
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Handling (Personnel)
Wash thoroughly after handling.
Storage
Store away from flammable materials.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Engineering Controls
Safe handling of polyimide films at high temperatures
(above 200 C/ 392 F) requires adequate ventilation. If
small quantities of polyimide film are involved, normal air
circulation may be all that is needed in case of
overheating. Whether or not existing ventilation is
adequate at higher temperatures will depend on the combined
factors of film quantity, temperature and exposure time.
Personal Protective Equipment
Safety glasses are recommended as good industrial practice.
Respirators are not needed for normal use.
Special protective clothing is not needed for normal use. Gloves
are recommended as good industrial practice.
