Health hazards Not classified.
Environmental hazards Not classified.
OSHA defined hazards Not classified.
Hazard symbol None.
Signal word Warning
Hazard statement May form combustible dust concentrations in air.
Precautionary statement
Prevention Take precautionary measures against static discharge. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid generation or accumulation of dust.
Response If inhaled, remove to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms persist. In case of fire, use water spray or fog, foam, dry chemical or CO2. Collect in a chemical waste container. Use only vacuum cleaners approved for combustible dust collection.
Storage Not available.
Disposal Not available.
HNOC May form combustible dust concentrations in air. Risk of skin burns caused by hot melt.
Supplemental information This material is considered hazardous under the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard criteria, based on hazard(s) not otherwise classified.

3. Composition/information on ingredients

Mixtures

Chemical name Common name and synonyms CAS number %
Polyamide Proprietary 90-100
Composition comments This product has been evaluated using criteria specified in 29 CFR 1910.1200 (Hazard Communication Standard).

4. First-aid measures

Inhalation If dust from the material is inhaled, remove the affected person immediately to fresh air. Move to fresh air in case of accidental inhalation of vapors or decomposition products. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Oxygen or artificial respiration if needed. Consult a physician for specific advice.
Skin contact Wash the skin immediately with soap and water. In case of contact with molten product, cool rapidly with water and seek immediate medical attention. Do not attempt to remove molten product from skin because skin will tear easily.
Eye contact Dust: Wash eyes immediately, abundantly and thoroughly with water. Remove particle remaining under the eyelids. If irritation persists, consult a doctor. On contact with hot product, cool eyes rapidly with cold water after contact with molten polymer. Continue to rinse for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.
Ingestion If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Get medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Most important symptoms/effects No experiences of acute or chronic damages in humans have been made yet.
General information Risk of skin burn caused by hot melt. Do not leave the victim unattended. Do not remove the victim from the source of exposure. Victim to lie down in the recovery position, cover and keep him warm.

5. Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media Water spray, foam, dry powder or carbon dioxide.
Unsuitable extinguishing media Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
Specific hazards May be released in case of fire: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitric oxides, organic products of decomposition. Under certain fire conditions, traces of other toxic products may occur.
Special protective equipment As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH(approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
Fire fighting equipment/instructions Do not use a solid stream of water as it can cause a dust explosion. Fire fighting equipment should be thoroughly decontaminated after use.
General fire hazards Dust clouds generated during handling and/or storage can form explosive mixtures with air.

6. Accidental release measures

Personal precautions In case product dust is released: Dust mask.
Methods and materials for containment Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal. If a vacuum is used, the motor must be rated as dust explosion-proof. Dispose of in compliance with federal, state, and local regulations.
Environmental precautions Prevent further leakage or spillage. Do not let product enter drains. Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.

7. Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid breathing dust. Prevent dust accumulation to minimize explosion hazard. Regularly clean inside and outside the equipment with an explosion-protected vacuum. Remove contaminated clothing and wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water after work.
Conditions for safe storage Store away from moisture and heat to maintain the technical properties of the product.

8. Exposure controls/personal protection

Occupational exposure limits
