III. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION PRIMARY ROUTE OF ENTRY
|
|
Eyes:
|
Particulates may scratch eye surfaces / cause mechanical irritation.
|
|
Skin:
|
Exposure to molten material may cause thermal burns.
|
|
Ingestion:
|
Minimal toxicity.
|
|
Inhalation:
|
Vapors which may be formed at elevated temperatures may be irritating to eyes and respiratory tract. Low order of toxicity.
|
|
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure:
|
|
|
Other:
|
PERSONAL PROTECTION: For open systems at ambient temperature [-.04º to 100.4º F(-18 to 38º C)] where contact is likely, wear safety glasses. When contact may occur with molten material, wear thermal resistant gloves, arm protection, and a face shield.
|
|
|
IV. FIRST AID MEASURES
|
|
Eyes:
|
EYE INJURIES:
This product is an inert solid. If in eye, remove as one would any foreign object.
Any material entering the eye should be flushed out with copious volumes of water. Medical attention should be obtained immediately.
|
|
Skin:
|
For molten product; immediately immerse in or flush affected area with large amounts of cold water to dissipate heat. Cover with clean cotton sheeting or gauze and get prompt medical attention. For molten product; No attempt should be made to remove clothing in contact with the affected area, as the damaged flesh can be easily torn.
BURNS:
Any molten materials on the skin should be cooled as quickly as possible e.g. in cold water, but should not be pulled off. Medical attention should be obtained immediately.
|
|
Ingestion:
|
First aid normally not required.
|
|
Inhalation:
|
In case of exposure to vapors aerosols formed at elevated temperatures, immediately remove the affected victim from exposure. Call for prompt medical attention.
An affected person should be removed as quickly as possible into fresh air, kept warm, and artificial respiration applied if breathing has stopped. Medical attention should be obtained immediately.
|
|
Other:
|
MEDICAL ATTENTION: It is important that the medical staff involved should be fully advised of the nature of the material.

FLAMMABILITY CLASSIFICATION
IGNITION AND BURNING CHARACTERISTICS:
When Polypropylene is heated in air, mellting will occur at 329º to 338º F(165º to 170° C) and decomposition will commence at about 300º C with the release of volatile, lower molecular weight hydrocarbons. These can be ignited by flame by radiant heat source. Once ignition occurs, sufficient heat will be generated to continue the decomposition and provided sufficient oxygen in present, burning will continue even when the ignition source is removed. Burning is accompanied by the release of flaming molten droplets of polymer, which could ignite adjacent flammable material. These comments can only be of a general nature, since the conditions in a real fire can never be fully predicted. They will depend on many factors, such as the location, the oxygen availability and presence of other flammable materials.
IGNITION LIMITS: Not Applicable
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: >572º F (300º C)

|
|
VI. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
|
Containment/Cleanup:
|
COLLECT SPILLED MATERIAL IN APPROPRIATE CONTAINER FOR DISPOSAL.
|
|
|
VII. HANDLING AND STORAGE
|
Other:
|
STORAGE
BAG STORAGE:
Bags containing polypropylene should be stored dry and shielded from direct sunlight. Indoor unheated storage areas with natural ventilation are adequate. Badly stacked pallets may slip and cause injury to personnal. Regular inspection of stacks is recommended.
Bulk Storage: Whenever practicable polypropylene should be conveyed in closed systems. Dust may be generated in pneumatic conveying systems thus giving rise to a potential dust explosion hazard. Such systems, including silos and intermediate bulk containers should be regularly inspected and any dust accumulatons removed. To minimize the possibility of a spark causing a dust explosion, high velocity filling should be avoided and all bulk storage and conveying systems must be electrically earthed. Tankers should also be electrically eartherd during unloading operations.
USUAL SHIPPING CONTAINERS: Bulk trucks, Bags, Boxes

XI. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
|
|
Acute Toxicology Data:
|
TOXICITY CLASS: Polypropylene is chemically unreactive and is generally regarded as being biologically inert.
|
|
Other:
|
SPECIFIC TOXICITY TESTS HAVE NOT BEEN CONDUCTED ON THIS PRODUCT. OUR HAZARD EVALUATION IS BASED ON INFORMATION FROM SIMILAR PRODUCTS, THE INGREDIENTS, TECHNICAL LITERATURE, AND/OR PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE.
DENSE DUST GENERATED BY THE HANDLING AND/OR PROCESSING OF THIS MATERIAL MAY BE IRRITATING TO THE EYES, SKIN, NOSE AND THROAT.
NO COMPONENT OF THIS PRODUCT PRESENT AT LEVELS GREATER THAN 0.1% IS IDENTIFIED AS A CARCINOGEN BY THE IARC.
THIS PRODUCT MAY CONTAIN ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS:
LEAD AND INORGANIC LEAD COMPOUNDS ARE CLASSIFIED AS GROUP 2B CARCINOGENS BY IARC (POSSIBLY CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS). EXPOSURE TO LEAD IN EXPERIMENTAL ANIMALS HAS RESULTED IN KIDNEY DAMAGE, AS WELL AS KIDNEY AND LUNG TUMORS. LEAD INTOXICATION CAN LEAD TO IMPAIRMENT OF THE CENTRAL AND PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, AND HEMATOPOIETIC TOXICITY RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO RED CELL FORMATION AND ANEMIA. LEAD MAY ALSO IMPAIR THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM OF MEN AND WOMEN.
THIS PRODUCT MAY CONTAIN A HINDERED AMINE LIGHT STABILIZER. MANY HINDERED AMINES ARE EYE IRRITANTS. IN STUDIES USING EXPERIMENTAL ANIMALS, SOME HINDERED AMINES HAVE PRODUCED CHANGES IN KIDNEYS AND LIVER FUNCTION, EFFECTS ON THE IMMUNE SYSTEM, AND CHANGES IN HEMATOLOGY AND BLOOD CHEMISTRY. TARGET ORGANS INCLUDE THE KIDNEY, LIVER, SPLEEN, ABDOMINAL LYMPH NODES, AND BLOOD.
