SECTION 1: PRODUCT AND COMPANY IDENTIFICATION
Product Name: Expando 686 Plus Manufacturer:
Federal-Mogul Corporation
26555 Northwestern Highway
Southfield, MI 48033
MSDS# BH-149 24hr Emerg # (Infotrac): 1-800-535-5053
International: 001-352-323-3500
Non-Emerg #: 248-354-9844
SECTION 2: COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS
Expando 686 Plus sleeving is a rugged, lightweight oversleeve designed to offer maximum resistance to
abrasion and impact damage. Featuring a dual monofilament construction, Expando 686 Plus smoothly
blends larger monofilament net strands of PEEK with support strands of PPS. Expando 686 Plus is
recognized as VW-1 (flame retardant).
Although several of the ingredients used to formulate this product may be hazardous in the raw state, the
manufacturing process results in a solid, infusible form, binding and otherwise, rendering the product inert.
The constituents identified below may be present in quantities greater than 1% (0.1% for carcinogens) that
may be released from the product by such operations as overheating, burning, machining, abrading, or
riveting.
This information provides the minimum criteria for safe usage and handling of this product. Companies
using this product should develop their own occupational health program to protect employees from injury or
adverse health effects.

Symptoms and Effects of Exposure to Selected Individual Components
PPS
Toxic effects are not known to be associated with inhalation of dust or vapors from this material. If product is
handled in accordance with good industrial hygiene practices, it should not present an actual hazard in the
workplace.
ACRYLAMIDE
Toxic by ingestion, skin contact, intravenous, intraperitoneal, and other exposure routes. Intoxication has
caused peripheral neuropathy, erythemia and peeling of the palms. It can be absorbed through intact skin.
ACRYLONITRILE
Acute ?May cause somnolence, general anesthesia, cyanosis and diarrhea. Symptoms include flushing of
the face, salivation, irritation of eyes and nose, nausea, deepened respiration, weakness and headache.
Chronic ?IARC classifies this component as "probably carcinogenic to humans"."
Other ?human systemic irritant, may be toxic by skin and ingestion exposure routes. Target organs include
liver brain, kidneys and cardiovascular system.
ETHYL ACRYLATE
Toxic by ingestion and inhalation. Moderately toxic by skin contact and intraperitoneal routes. Human
systemic effects by inhalation include eye, olfactory and pulmonary changes.
FORMALDEHYDE
Acute ?Gastrointestinal toxicity may occur if ingested; may cause nausea, vomiting and severe abdominal
pain. Exposure to the skin may cause irritation and contact dermatitis at moderately low levels. Inhalation
may cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract, a burning sensation of the nose and throat, sneezing,
coughing, headache, difficulty breathing, nausea, vomiting and excessive thirst. May cause conjunctivitis,
eye irritation/redness/burning and excessive tearing.
Chronic ?Sensitizing of respiratory tract and development of an asthmatic reaction to further exposure.
Sensitization and allergic skin reaction. Can aggravate asthma and inflammatory or fibrotic pulmonary
disease.
SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
Move to fresh air. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Inhalation:
Rinse thoroughly with ample amounts of water. If irritation persists, seek medical
Eye Contact:
attention.
Do not remove the molten material from skin. Rinse with cool water. Seek medical

SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Scrap monofilaments may present a slipping hazard; use good housekeeping practices. If dust is generated,
remove the dust by vacuuming or wet-mopping. Vacuums used for this purpose should be equipped with HEPA
filters. Do not use compressed air to blow dust from surfaces.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Store in a cool dry place. If dust is generated during shipping, remove the dust from the container by vacuuming
or wet-mopping. Vacuums used for this purpose should be equipped with HEPA filters. Do not use compressed
air to blow dust from surfaces.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Any operation which may produce dust, including machining, grinding, riveting, or
