2.- COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
WT.% CAS Registry #
Polypropilene 9003-07-0
Natural Rubber 9006-04-6
Talc 14807-96-6
Further Additives
Pigment Portion
COMMENTS:
The additives (if any are present in this product) are encapsulated in a thermoplastic resin with
limited release under normal conditions of use, transportation, and storage. Increased release may
occur when the resin (or material/product manufactured from it) is subject to grinding, polishing,
excessive heat, or other processes which enhance the potential for the generation of particulates,
fumes, and/or vapors. The specific potential for release under user’s condition of handling of this
materials should be evaluated by a qualified health specialist.
The pigment portion may or may not be present in this material depending on if the finished
Product is pre-colored or natural.
3.- HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE:
Approximately 1/8 - 3/8” white, translucent, opaque, or colored solid plastic pellets with slight
to no odor
Page: 2
DATE PREPARED: 07/29/2009
MSDS : ADX5310
IMMEDIATE CONCERNS:
Does not contain materials which may contribute to immediate health, physical, or environmental
Hazards.
ACUTE EFFECTS:
In solid form, this polymer is not considered to be a health hazard, although the pellets and the
Dusts generated from them may be mildly irritating to the skin and eyes by mechanical action.
If swallowed, polymer may pose possible intentional obstruction. Dust created during handling
Or processing may be mildly irritating to the respiratory system.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVETED
There are no known medical conditions aggravated by exposure to this product. However, certain
sensitive individuals and individuals with respiratory impairments may be affected by exposure to
components in the processing emissions.
ROUTES OF ENTRY:
Swallowing, Skin contact, Eye, or inhalation.
IRRITANCY:
When heated, this polymer may release fumes and/or vapors that are irritating to the eyes, nose
throat, and skin. Overexposure to fumes or vapors may also cause headache, nausea shortness
of breath, and cough. Molten or heated material can cause serious burns to unprotected skin
and eyes.
SENSITIZATION:
May cause sensitization.
4.- FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES:
If contacted by molten polymer, immediately flush eyes with plenty of cool water for at least 15
Minutes. Do not permit victim to rub eyes. Get medical attention immediately !
SKIN:
If contacted by molten polymer, cool immediately with cold or ice water. Do not attempt removal
Of any solidified material. Get medical attention immediately!
NOTE TO PHYSICIANS: In case of most burns, allow solidified material to slough off on its
Own. Attempted removal may lead to more damage of the skin and underlying tissues. If removal
Is indicated (e.g. solidified material is located on a critical part of the hand or face), removal
With mineral oil is recommended. Due to the extremely high temperature of the molten polymer
At the time of contact, bacterial infection under the material is unlikely to be present.

MSDS : ADX5310
INGESTION:
If product is ingested, contact physician or poison control center as appropriate whenever any
Foreign object is swallowed.
INHALATION:
Immediately remove victim to fresh air. If victim has stopped breathing give artificial respiration,
Preferably mouth-to-mouth. Get medical attention immediately!
5.- FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLAMMABLE CLASS:
(1) However, please use caution when handling material near open flame. Material will ignite
When exposed to direct flame, but will not burn readily.
GENERAL HAZARD:
(0) However, please use caution when handling material.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
Use water spray, dry chemical, foam, or carbon monoxide.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:
Carbon monoxide is expected to be the primary combustion product.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:
REACTIVITY (0)
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
Note- Individuals should perform only those fire-fighting procedures for which they have been
Trained.
If possible, water should be applied as a spray from a fogging nozzle since this polymer is a
surface burning material. The application of high velocity water will spread the burning layer.
FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT :
Fire fighting should wear self-contained breathing apparatus in the positive pressure mode with a
Full face piece when there is a possibility of exposure to smoke, fumes or hazardous decomposition
Products.
6.- ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SMALL SPILL:
Use good housekeeping measures since spilled pellets may be a slipping hazard.
Page: 4
DATE PREPARED: 07/29/2009
MSDS : ADX5310
LARGE SPIL:
Wear appropriate respiratory protection and protective clothing as described in section 8. Contain
Spilled material transfer to secure containers. In the event of an uncontrolled release of this
Material, the user should determine if the release is reportable under applicable laws and
Regulations.
GENERAL PROCEDURES:
Avoid uncontrolled release of this material. Where spills are possible, a comprehensive spill release
Response plan should be developed and implemented. Plastic pellet are listed as “significant
materials” by US EPA (40CFR 122.26 (b) (12)) and may need to be discussed in an application
For a storm water discharge permit.
7.- HANDLING AND STORAGE:
HANDLING:
The handling of the pellets in both loading and unloading operations as well as fabrications may
cause dust to be formed, and necessary precautions for personal protection (see section 8) should be
Used. When transferring pellets , precautions such as grounding and bonding can prevent the
Build up of static electricity.
STORAGE.
Store in a dry place away from moisture, excessive heat, and sources of ignition.
STORAGE PRESSURE:
Atmospheric
STORAGE TEMPERATURE:
Ambient.
LOADING TEMPERATURE NOTES:
Ambient.
ELECTROSTATIC ACCUMULATION HAZARD:
None, but use proper grounding procedures.
8.- EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Engineering controls should be used whenever feasible to maintain concentration below acceptable
Exposure limits (section 2) including, but not limited to, enclosures, local ventilation and dilution
Ventilation.

DATE PREPARED: 07/29/2009
MSDS : ADX5310
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYES AND FACE:
Wear safety glasses meeting the specification of OSHA 29CFR 1910.133/ANSI Standard Z87.1
where no contact with the eyes is anticipated. Chemical safety goggles meeting the specifications
of OSHA 29CFR 1019.133/ANSI Standard Z87.1 should be worn whenever there is a possibility
of splashing or other contact with the eyes.
RESPIRATORY:
Where engineering controls are not feasible or sufficient to achieve full conformance with
acceptable exposure limits (section 2), use NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection
equipment. Respirators should be selected based on the form and concentration of contaminate(s) in
air and in accordance with OSHA(29CFR 1910.134)/ANSI Z88.2
