Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. If patient is not breathing or breathing irregular, provide artificial respiration. Obtain medical attention by physician if symptoms persist.
Eye Contact: Flush with copious amounts of water.
Skin Contact: Remove pellets and dusts from skin, clothes, shoes, etc. If molten matter comes into contact with skin, pour plenty of water on the clothes in order to cool the affected skin area sufficiently. Take off the clothes and cover the affected skin area with clean gauze. Consult a specialist as soon as possible.
Ingestion: Wash the mouth thoroughly with water.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing Media: Water spray / Alcohol foam / Dry chemical / Carbon dioxide
Special Protective Equipment: Fire fighters should wear full protective clothing, including self-contained breathing equipment.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: If material remains on the floor or ground, it may make the surface slippery. Remove pellets frequently. Avoid generating dust. When working, wear appropriate protective equipment and avoid breathing dust. Eliminate all sources of ignition near the area of the leak.
Environmental precautions: To avoid affecting the environment, prevent spilled material from entering rivers or other aquatic environments.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Sweep up dispersed material and place it in an empty container that can be tightly closed.
If possible, first moisten dispersed material to prevent dust from rising.
Handling and storage
Handling: Handle in well-ventilated places. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid breathing dust, vapour, as all types of polymers may develop dust during transporting or grinding of granules
Storage: Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. Store in cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight.
