Section 3: Hazards Identification/Potential Effects
Overview: Based upon pertinent data available and normal handling, polypropylene
cloth products are not hazardous under OSHA Hazard Communication
Standard (29 CFR 1910.120).
Routes of Exposure:
Inhalation: Inhalation of organic fumes or mist may irritate respiratory tract
and mucous membranes. However, short-term harmful health
effects are not expected and not likely from vapor generated
during normal use with adequate ventilation at ambient
temperature.
Skin contact: Antimony oxide dust may irritate skin and cause antimony
measles.
Ingestion: Ingestion is not expected to occur. If swallowed, may
physically irritate digestive system. Consult physician.
Eye Contact: No evidence of harmful effects anticipated from available
information under normal use.
Chronic: None currently known.
Page 1 of 8
Symptoms of Acute Overexposure: Product may contain surface applied process
lubricants that may cause skin to dry out.
.
Medical Conditions Aggravated By Exposure: Persons with pre-existing skin disorders
may be susceptible to effects of the material.
Carcinogenity: See Section 11
Section 4: First Aid Procedures
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with plenty of water for 15 minutes. If irritation
persists, consult a physician.
Skin Contact: Frequent rinsing of skin surfaces with water to remove
accumulated fibers will minimize irritation. If pain, allergy, or
reaction persists, get medical attention.
Ingestion: Not likely to be ingested in present form. No emergency care
anticipated. Get medical aid if necessary.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air if overcome by fumes, mist, or dust. If
breathing difficulties develop or persist, get medical attention.
Chronic: None currently known. Get medical aid if necessary.
Section 5: Fire and Explosion Hazard Data
Flash Point (Method Used): Greater than 600?F (300篊)
Flammable Limits: LEL: Not Available UEL: Not Available
Extinguishing Media: x Water Fog x Carbon Dioxide
x Regular Foam x Dry Chemical Other
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Material will not burn unless preheated. Over heated
or molten material may burn slowly with dense smoke. Firefighters and others who may
be exposed to products of combustion should wear full protective clothing and self
contained breathing apparatus.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: When forced to burn, protect from decomposition
and combustion products that may include Carbon Monoxide, Hydrogen Chloride, Carbon
Dioxide, and other toxic gases.
General Hazard: None known. Material will not burn in the absence of an independent
flame source.
Hazardous Combustion/Decomposition Products: Oxides of nitrogen and carbon (e.g.
Nickel oxide, Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, etc.), antimony oxide,
hydrogen bromide
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
This product requires no special spill handling procedures.
Page 2 of 8
Section 7: Handling and Storage
General: Keep material clean, dry, and away from heat. Minimize dust
generation. Store away from oxidizing materials in cool dry
areas. Avoid direct sunlight.
Storage Temperature: Ambient
Storage Pressure: Atmospheric
Handling: No special handling unless large rolls are used. Use lifting
devices as necessary. If product is molten, avoid contact with
skin or eyes
Section 8: Exposure Controls/ Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: General (mechanical) room ventilation is expected to be
satisfactory.
Ventilation Requirements: Not required for normal use. If process generates dust,
fumes or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to
airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.
Personal Protective Equipment:
Eye Protection: Not normally required, but may wear safety glasses.
Skin Protection: Not normally required. Persons with exposure sensitivity
may need suitable gloves.
Respiratory Protection: Not required under normal use. Wear appropriate,
approved respiratory protection to keep dust, smoke or
fumes concentration below the permissible exposure
limit if generated in processing or handling.
Other Clothing and Equipment: Normal work clothing.
Section 9: Physical and Chemical
Boiling Point: N/A Specific Gravity (H2O=1): 1.1 ?1.35
Vapor Pressure (mm Hg.): N/A Evaporation Rate (Butyl Acetate=1): N/A
Vapor Density (Air =1): N/A Melting Point: >300?F
Solubility in Water: Not soluble
Appearance and Odor: Woven fabric wound on a cardboard core.
Section 10: Stability and Reactivity
Stability: x Stable Unstable
Conditions to Avoid: Keep away from sparks, flames, or excessive heat
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): Strong oxidizing agents.
Hazardous Polymerization: May Occur x Will Not Occur
Section 11: Toxicological Information
Eye Effects: Not toxic
Skin Effects: Chronic exposure to dust may cause antimony measles.
Target Organs: None
Carcinogenity: Possible risk of irreversible effects from antimony measles ?may cause
cancer. Antimony oxide is classified by: IARC: Group 2B suspect carcinogen. Arsenic is
classified by: IARC: Group 1 human carcinogen. NTP: human carcinogen. OSHA: cancer

hazard. Carbon black is classified as a Group 2B possible human carcinogen. When
encapsulated in a plastic matrix, risk of exposure is minimized.
Mutagenitive and Reproductive Effects: Not considered to be a hazard.
Target organ effects: Skin, Eyes, Respiratory tract, Blood, and Renal.
Section 12: Ecological Information
Environmental Data: Not expected to be hazardous to the environment in present form.
Section 13: Disposal Considerations
Disposal: If this product becomes a waste, it DOES NOT meet the criteria of a
hazardous waste as dined under 40 CFR 261, in that it does not exhibit the characteristics
of hazardous waste of Subpart C, nor is it listed as a hazardous waste under Subpart D.
As a non-hazardous waste, it should be disposed of in accordance with local, state, and
federal regulations
RCRA Hazard Class: Does not contain RCRA regulated materials.
General Comments: It is recommended that all waste be analyzed for compliance to
applicable laws and regulations governing proper waste disposal methods and reporting
requirements.
