flame or spark, will cause fire or explosion. Dust clouds generated by the fine
grinding of the solid are a particular hazard; accumulations of fine dust may burn
rapidly and fiercely if ignited
- Dry dust can also be charged electrostatically by turbulence, pneumatic transport,
pouring, in exhaust ducts and during transport.
- Build-up of electrostatic charge may be prevented by bonding and grounding.
- Powder handling equipment such as dust collectors, dryers and mills may require
additional protection measures such as explosion venting.
- All movable parts coming in contact with this material should have a speed of less than
1-meter/sec.
Decomposition may produce toxic fumes of: carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2).
FIRE INCOMPATIBILITY
None known.
HAZCHEM: None
Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
MINOR SPILLS

- Use dry clean up procedures and avoid generating dust.
- Sweep up or
- Vacuum up (consider explosion-proof machines designed to be grounded during storage and
use).
- Place in clean drum then flush area with water.
MAJOR SPILLS
- Clear area of personnel and move upwind.
- Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.

� 2-butene homopolymer - polybutene: CAS:9003-29-6
MATERIAL DATA
Not available. Refer to individual constituents.
INGREDIENT DATA
CALCIUM CARBONATE:
The TLV-TWA is thought to be protective against the significant risk of
physical irritation associated with exposure.
SILICA FUSED:
The concentration of respirable dust for application of this limit is to be determined
from the fraction that penetrates a separator whose size collection efficiency is
described by a cumulative lognormal function with a median aerodynamic diameter of 4.0 µm
(+-) 0.3 µm and with a geometric standard deviation of 1.5 µm (+-) 0.1 µm, i.e..generally
less than 5 µm.
Little is known about the health effects of fused silica. Animal studies
indicate the possible association between exposure and fibrosis. NIOSH
considers fused amorphous silica to be an occupational carcinogen.
Since X-ray diffraction cannot be used for quantitative analysis of
amorphous fused silica, a simple gravimetric analysis of all dust
containing fused silica must be relied upon.
2-BUTENE HOMOPOLYMER - POLYBUTENE:
No exposure limits set by NOHSC or ACGIH.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
- Safety glasses with side shields; or as required,
- Chemical goggles.
- Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and
concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lens or
restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a
review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account
of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal
and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure,
begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens
should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be
removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC
NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].

Wear general protective gloves: i.e. Disposable polythene gloves or Cotton gloves or
Light weight rubber gloves, with Barrier cream preferably Safety footwear.
OTHER
- Overalls.
- Eyewash unit.
RESPIRATOR
Selection of the Class and Type of respirator will depend upon the level of breathing
zone contaminant and the chemical nature of the contaminant. Protection Factors (defined
as the ratio of contaminant outside and inside the mask) may also be important.

The local concentration of material, quantity and conditions of use determine the type of
personal protective equipment required.
For further information consult site specific
CHEMWATCH data (if available), or your
Occupational Health and Safety Advisor.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Use in a well-ventilated area.
- Local exhaust ventilation is required where solids are handled as powders or crystals;
even when particulates are relatively large, a certain proportion will be powdered by
mutual friction.
- Exhaust ventilation should be designed to prevent accumulation and recirculation of
particulates in the workplace.
- If in spite of local exhaust an adverse concentration of the substance in air could
occur, respiratory protection should be considered. Such protection might consist of:
(a): particle dust respirators, if necessary, combined with an absorption cartridge;
(b): filter respirators with absorption cartridge or canister of the right type;
(c): fresh-air hoods or masks
- Build-up of electrostatic charge on the dust particle, may be prevented by bonding and
grounding.
- Powder handling equipment such as dust collectors, dryers and mills may require
additional protection measures such as explosion venting.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments.
The material may be mildly discomforting and harmful if swallowed in large quantity.
EYE
The dust may produce eye discomfort and abrasive eye inflammation.
The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced inflammation.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.
SKIN
The material may be mildly discomforting and may cause drying of the skin.
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may
produce a contact dermatitis (nonallergic). This form of dermatitis is often
characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling the epidermis. Histologically there
may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer (spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of
the epidermis.
INHALED
Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.
The dust may be discomforting to the upper respiratory tract.
Persons with impaired respiratory function, airway diseases and conditions such as
emphysema or chronic bronchitis, may incur further disability if excessive concentrations
of particulate are inhaled.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Principal routes of exposure are usually by inhalation of generated dust and skin contact
with the material.
