If dust from pipe or tubing is inhaled, remove to fresh air
4.2 EYE CONTACT
In case of dust contact with eye(s), flush eyes thoroughly with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses, if worn. Seek
medical advice if irritation persists. For thermal eye burns, immediately flush eyes with water and continue washing for several
minutes, DO NOT remove contact lenses, if worn. Obtain medical attention without delay, preferably from an opthalmologist.
4.3 SKIN CONTACT
For thermal skin burns, remove clothing, any jewelry, and gross debris from the burned area. Leave blisters intact.
Wash the area thoroughly with room temperature tap water Do not use ice. Cover the wounded area with gauze
dressing moistened with cool water; keep the dressing moist. Seek medical attention.

10.1 STABILITY/INSTABILITY Stable
Conditions to Avoid: Prolonged exposure to temperatures over 250 Deg. C. (482 Deg. F.) may cause resin decomposition.
Thermal Decomposition: Carbon monoxide is highly toxic if inhaled; carbon dioxide in sufficient concentrations can act as an
asphyxiant. Aldehydes are known irritants. In addition, some aldehydes are skin sensitizers and/or probable carcinogens. Acute
overexposure to the decomposition products may result in headache, nausea and irritation of the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Local
exhaust ventilation is recommended for control of airborne dust, fumes and vapor.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
The following information is based on published toxicity data for associated base polymers (ethene homopolymer, I -butene polymer
with ethene, and I -hexene polymer with ethene). This data was not produced by Endot Industries ,Inc. Corporation.
ACUTE TOXICITY
Peroral: rat Lethal Dose >7.95 g/kg no effects
Peroral: mouse Lethal Dose > 7.0 g/kg
Inhalation: Variable Dust Concentration Studies Exposure Time 0.5 h 12000 mglm3
mouse LCSO 12000 mg/m3
Skin: Granules or pieces of product may cause skin abrasion or other mechanical irritation.
Eye: May cause irritation.
Repeated Exposure: Inclusion of 1-butene polymer with ethane in the diets of rats for 90 days at 5% or less caused no adverse
effects.
Sensitization (Animal and Human Studies)
Polyethylene is not considered to be a skin sensitizer.
Chronic Toxicity and Carcinogencity
According to published data, inclusion of polyethylene in the diet of rats at 8 g/kg/day did not result in treatment related effects.
Polyethylene implanted into rats and mice has reportedly caused local tumorigenic activity at doses of 33 to 2120 mg/kg, but the
relevance to human exposure is not certain. There has been extensive use of polyethylene in industry and medicine.
