Section 3 : HAZARD IDENTIFICATION

Emergency Overview
The material is solid at room temperature exhibiting elevated temperature softening characteristics.
Above its softening point, the material liquefies and flows more readily as the temperature
increases. The material is used as a hot liquid for application purposes and requires caution in
handling.
SKIN CONTACT : Contact with molten material can result in severe burns
EYE CONTACT : Direct contact of molten product to the eyes will cause thermal burns and eye
Injury
INHALATION : Exposure to vapors, fumes, or smoke from molten material handled in confined
areas can produce irritation of respiratory tracts.
INGESTION : This material is essentially inert and non-toxic. Regardless of this the material
should handle with care and not be ingested or put in mouth

Section 4 : FIRST AID MEASURES

SKIN : Direct contact of the molten material will cause eye injury and burns. Should
and accident occur, flush eyes with generous amounts of water for at least 15
minutes. Call a medical doctor to attend the injury.
EYE : Direct contact of the molten material will cause injury and burns. For burns
apply running water for 15 minutes and do not attempt to remove any material
bonded to skin. Call a medical doctor to attend the injury.
INHALATION : Remove the individual to a well ventilated area for fresh air and call a medical
doctor if respiratory symptoms warrant medical attention.
INGESTION : Material is not acutely toxic by ingestion. If material is ingested, do not
induce vomitting, Call a medical doctor.

Section 6 : ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

SPILL or LEAKS : Handles as thermoplastic. With molten spills, allow the material to solidify and cool.
Keep material out of sewers and watercourses by diking or impounding. Recover and place into
appropriate containers for recycling or disposal, according to prevailing local, state and national laws
on Indonesia.

Section 7 : HANDLING AND STORAGES

When kept in molten state, inert gas blanketing may be used to avoid material degradation. As a
solid avoid contamination by keeping in closed containers, stay away from strong oxidizing agents.

Section 8 : EXPOSURE CONTROL / PERSONAL PROTECTION

This material will be utilized in molten form. Proper protective splash resistant clothing, thermal
gloves, splash resistant shoes, and eye shields must be worn to prevent injury. Use molten material
in well ventilated areas. When working in confined areas, use of appropriate respiratory gear is
recommended.
