Protection and Procedures for Firefighters
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or
equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal
decomposition or combustion.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards
Dusts may be combustible when exposed to heat, flame, or oxidizing agents. Although the polymer dust is not
easily ignited, the explosive limits of the polymer dust suspended in air are approximately those of coal dust therefore
fire fighters should avoid extinguishing methods which generate dust clouds.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Containment Techniques
Material is a solid powder so containment is limited to steps to prevent dust.
Spill/Leak Clean-Up Procedures and Equipment
Polymer particles are slippery when spilled on hard floor so sweep immediately and wash spill area with water to
avoid accidental falls. Keep exposure to air borne particles to a minimum when cleaning by using proper ventilation
as discussed in Section 8. Operator should wear personal protective equipment as described in Section 8 to prevent
inhalation of dust.
Evacuation Procedures
Not Required.
Special Instructions
None.
Reporting Requirements
None for small volume dental resin shipments.

7. Handling and Storage
Handling Practices and Warnings
Minimize dust generation when handling. Avoid inhalation of dust, and contact with eyes.
Storage Practices and Warnings
Store in cool dry, well ventilated area in the tightly closed container provided with the product to prevent water
absorption and contamination.
8. Exposure Control/Personal Protection
Ventilation Other Engineering Controls
Use adequate general or local exhaust to keep airborne None.
concentrations below the permissible exposure limits
shown in Section 2.
Routes of Entry: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for PPE for Emergencies:
Normal Use:
Eye/Face Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or For emergency or higher risk of exposure,
safety glasses to prevent exposure during wear chemical safety goggles as described
normal use. by OSHA's eye and face protection
regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or
European Standard EN166.
Skin During normal use, disposable gloves are For emergency or higher risk of exposure,
recommended to prevent skin exposure. wear protective gloves to prevent skin
exposure and wear a lab coat to prevent
contamination of your clothing. Wash
clothing before wearing if it was exposed to
the product.
Inhalation During normal use with local exhaust, use of a For emergency or if there is higher risk of
dust mask will provide additional protection. exposure (for example when obvious dust
cloud is observed), follow the OSHA
respirator regulations found in 29 CFR
1910.134 or European Standard EN 149.
Always use a NIOSH or European
Standard EN 149 approved respirator when
necessary.
General Hygiene Considerations and Work Practices
When using the polymer particulate material, use methods to minimize dust generation. After use of the material,
wash your hands before eating or smoking.
Protective Measures During Repair and Maintenance of Contaminated Equipment
Wear protective gloves and OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149.
Always use a NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator to prevent inhalation of dust.
Other Protective Measures and Equipment
Facilities should be equipped with an eyewash station and a safety shower.
