3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emergency Overview
This product, as shipped, is not considered hazardous as defined by the OSHA Hazard
Communication Standard (29CFR 1910.1200).
Potential Health Effects:
Heating the polymer to the melt point, such as in extrusion, may release a small amount of
acetaldehyde from degradation.
Burning the polymer may produce carbon monoxide and oxides of antimony. Carbon monoxide can
cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Freshly produced antimony oxide can cause metal fume fever.
Carcinogenicity Information
None of the components in the polymer at greater than 0.1% are listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA or
ACGIH as a carcinogen.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inhalation: No specific treatment is necessary since polyester polymer is not likely to be hazardous by
inhalation. If exposure results from burning the polymer, remove to fresh air and get medical attention
if dizziness or nausea occurs.
Eyes: No specific treatment is necessary under normal situations.
Skin: No specific treatment is necessary. Polyester polymer is not irritating to the skin.
Ingestion: No specific treatment is necessary, as ingestion of the polymer is not likely.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flammable Properties
- Flashpoint: Not applicable. Material will burn in a fire.
- Lower Explosive Limit: Not Applicable.
- Upper Explosive Limit: Not Applicable.
- Autoignition Temperature: Not available.
- Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, freshly produced antimony oxide.
- Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Accumulation of dust could
present a fire hazard.
Fire Fighting Media
Water spray or fog, CO2, dry chemical or foam.
Fire Fighting Instructions
As in any fire, wear MSHA/NIOSH approved, pressure-demand, self-contained breathing apparatus and full
protective bunker gear.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Safeguards
No protective measures required unless the polymer is involved in a fire. See section 5 if this is the case.
Spill Clean Up
Vacuum or sweep up material for salvage or disposal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No special requirements for handling or storage, other than to store away from incompatible materials.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Engineering Controls
Ventilation: General ventilation is adequate to control acetaldehyde accumulation during extrusion operations.
Local exhaust ventilation should be used to control levels of carbon monoxide and or antimony oxide during any
operation that involve burning of the polymer.
Personal Protective Equipment
Eye Protection: Safety glasses, preferably with side shields, should be worn with normal handling.
Skin Protection: None should be needed.
Respiratory Protection: None should be needed during normal handling. An MSHA/NIOSH approved full-face
respirator with organic vapor cartridge(s) and high efficiency particulate filter(s) or other appropriate respiratory
protection should be worn when exposure is expected from operations involving the burning of polymer
residues.
Exposure Limits:
OSHA PEL ACGIH TLV
Polymer not applicable not applicable
Acetaldehyde 100 ppm TWA 100 ppm TWA
150 ppm STEL 150 ppm STEL
Antimony oxide (as Sb) 0.5 ppm TWA 0.5 ppm TWA
Carbon monoxide 35 ppm TWA 50 ppm TWA
200 ppm CEIL 400 ppm TWA

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Polyester polymer is non toxic.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ecotoxicological Information
Polyester polymer is non toxic. Polyester chip, however should be kept out of waterways as it could be
ingested by wildlife and eventually fill the stomach of an animal.
