Avoid eye contact with dust or airborne particles. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash exposed areas
thoroughly with soap and water. Avoid skin contact with hot material. Do not breathe thermal decomposition products. No
smoking:
Smoking while using this product can result in contamination of the tobacco and/or smoke and lead to polymer fume fever caused
by
the formation of the hazardous decomposition products mentioned in the Reactivity Data section of this MSDS. Store work clothes
separately from other clothing, food and tobacco products. Avoid contact with oxidizing agents. Use general dilution ventilation
and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne exposures to below Occupational Exposure Limits. If ventilation is not
adequate,
use respiratory protection equipment.
7.2 STORAGE
Store away from heat. Store out of direct sunlight. Store away from oxidizing agents.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
8.1 ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Provide appropriate local exhaust when product is heated. General ventilation adequate below 400 C. Local exhaust recommended
above 400 C. For those situations where the fluid might be exposed to extreme overheating due to misuse or equipment failure, use
with appropriate local exhaust ventilation sufficient to maintain levels of thermal decomposition products below their exposure
guidelines.
8.2 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
8.2.1 Eye/Face Protection
Avoid eye contact.
The following eye protection(s) are recommended: Safety Glasses with side shields, Indirect Vented Goggles.
8.2.2 Skin Protection
3
Avoid skin contact with hot material. Wear appropriate gloves, such as Nomex, when handling this material to prevent thermal
burns.
Avoid skin contact.
Select and use gloves and/or protective clothing to prevent skin contact based on the results of an exposure assessment. Consult
with
your glove and/or protective clothing manufacturer for selection of appropriate compatible materials.
Gloves made from the following material(s) are recommended: Neoprene, Polyethylene.
8.2.3 Respiratory Protection
Avoid breathing of vapors created during extrusion or processing at elevated temperatures.
Select one of the following NIOSH approved respirators based on airborne concentration of contaminants and in accordance with
OSHA regulations: Fullface supplied-air respirator, Half facepiece or fullface pressure demand self-contained breathing apparatus.
8.2.4 Prevention of Swallowing
Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash exposed areas thoroughly with soap and water.

SECTION 14: OTHER INFORMATION
NFPA Hazard Classification
Health: 3 Flammability: 0 Reactivity: 0 Special Hazards: None
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) hazard ratings are designed for use by emergency response personnel to address the hazards that are
presented by short-term, acute exposure to a material under conditions of fire, spill, or similar emergencies. Hazard ratings are primarily based on
the
inherent physical and toxic properties of the material but also include the toxic properties of combustion or decomposition products that are
known to
be generated in significant quantities.
HMIS Hazard Classification
Health: 2 Flammability: 0 Reactivity: 0 Protection: X - See PPE section.
Hazardous Material Identification System (HMIS(r)) hazard ratings are designed to inform employees of chemical hazards in the workplace.
These
ratings are based on the inherent properties of the material under expected conditions of normal use and are not intended for use in emergency
situations. HMIS(r) ratings are to be used with a fully implemented HMIS(r) program. HMIS(r) is a registered mark of the National Paint and
Coatings Association (NPCA).
