MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Recycled LDPE Natural

SECTION 1: Identification of the product/material and Company information

1.1 Product information

The regranulate (or pellet) is based on the recycling of film scrap (mainly LDPE) collected from the commercial industry
(i.e. supermarkets, retail, distribution, hospitality).
The film scrap is sorted, baled, washed and regranulated. The regranulate will be packed in big bags, octabins, plastic
bags or bulk silo.
1.2 Intended use of the product
The regranulate is used for the manufacturing of plastic applications with recycled raw material content. The production
techniques can vary, but as the material is film grade, a common technique will be blown-film extrusion. It can be used at
100%, or in a mix with thermoplastic polymers and additives.

SECTION 8: Exposure controls and personal protection

8.1 General protecting measures
In normal circumstances, the pellets are not irritating
Wear normal a normal standard work clothing
During operations where the risk exists for contact with hot molten product, all
necessary protecting accessories should be used to prevent burning: non-synthetic
work suits, thermally insulated gloves and eye protection (safety glasses, face
masks)
8.2 Exposure control limits
8.2.1 Breathing protection
While working with the material in its granulate form, a suitable breathing mask should be used (P2 by preference).
General local regulations related to eating-, drinking and smoking have to be respected. Hands have to be washed
after handling the product.
The transformation at high temperatures of the molten material (i.e. injection molding, extrusion) has to be realised
in well ventilated areas.
