3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: Contact with hot material may cause skin burns.

Hazardous decomposition products ?refer to section 5

Un-reacted chemicals may be exposed during machining:

R20/22 ?Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed;

R36/37/38 ?Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin.





4. FIRST AID MEASURES

EYE CONTACT: Particles can cause mechanical irritation. If irritation occurs, summon physician. Monomers vapour from heated product can

cause irritation. Wash affected eyes for at least 15 for minutes under running water with eyelids open, consult an eye specialist.

SKIN CONTACT: Monomers vapour from heated product can cause irritation. Wash thoroughly with soap and water.

INHALATION: Monomers vapour from heated product can cause irritation. Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air and summon medical help.

INGESTION: If swallowed, obtain medical attention.





5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Foam, Water, Water Spray, Dry Chemical and Carbon Dioxide.

SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: For fires in enclosed areas, firefighters must use self-contained breathing apparatus. May generate irritating

vapours when burning. Collect separately contaminated extinguishing water; do not allow to reach sewerage or effluent system.

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Incomplete combustion results in formation of toxic vapour, containing mainly carbon monoxide and

carbon dioxide. In addition small quantities of the following substances can be formed; nitrogen oxides, hydrogen cyanide.





6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

GENERAL: Avoid obstacle hazard by removing released material. Take care to avoid unstable stacks.

METHODS FOR CLEANING UP: Sweep/shovel up.





7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

HANDLING: No special precautions are necessary beyond normal good hygiene practices. See section 8 for additional personal protection

advice when handling this product.
