This product is not hazardous in the form in which it is shipped by the manufacturer.
Signal word: Warning
Hazard statements: If fine particles are generated during further processing, handling, or by other means, product may form combustible dust concentrations in air.
There are no hazardous components above the relevant concentration limits according to OSHA HazCom 2012.
Acute: Contact with heated material can cause thermal burns. Gases and fumes evolved during the thermal processing or decomposition of this material may irritate the eyes, skin, or respiratory tract.
In case of contact, flush eyes with plenty of lukewarm water.
Cool melted product on skin with plenty of water. Do not remove solidified product. Get medical attention if thermal burn occurs.
Move to fresh air in case of accidental inhalation of dust or fumes from overheating or combustion.
Get medical attention.

Firefighters should be equipped with self-contained breathing apparatus to protect against potentially toxic and irritating fumes.
By Fire and Thermal Decomposition: Phenol; Styrene; Acrylonitrile Carbon oxides, Hazardous decomposition products due to incomplete combustion
Toxic and irritating gases/fumes may be given off during burning or thermal decomposition. Avoid generating dust: fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations and in the presence of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard.
If molten, allow material to cool and place into an appropriate marked container for disposal. Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal. Dust deposits should not be allowed to accumulate on surfaces, as these may form an explosive mixture as they are released into the atmosphere in sufficient concentrations. Avoid dispersal of dust in the air (e.g., cleaning dust from surfaces with compressed air).
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices. Wash thoroughly after handling. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Routine housekeeping should be instituted to ensure that dust does not accumulate on surfaces. Solid particulate can generate electrical charging during operations such as unloading from containers and pneumatic transfer. Provide adequate precautions, such as electrical grounding and bonding, where conductive equipment is involved.
None.
Maximum: 49 °C (120.2 °F)
Containers should be tightly closed to prevent contamination with foreign materials and moisture.
None known.
Any component which is listed in section 3 and is not listed in this section does not have a known ACGIH TLV, OSHA PEL, or supplier recommended occupational exposure limit.
General dilution and local exhaust as necessary to control airborne vapors, mists, dusts, and thermal decomposition products below appropriate airborne concentration standards/guidelines, especially during cutting, grinding, and high heat operations.
Although no exposure limit has been established for this product, the OSHA PEL for Particulates Not Otherwise Regulated (PNOR) of 15 mg/m3 - total dust, 5 mg/m3 - respirable fraction is recommended. In addition, the ACGIH recommends 3 mg/m3 - respirable particles and 10 mg/m3 - inhalable particles for Particles (insoluble or poorly soluble) Not Otherwise Specified (PNOS). In the event that these limits are exceeded, an air-purifying respirator (APR) equipped with particulate (P100) cartridges is recommended.
Ensure gloves remain in good condition during use and replace if any deterioration is observed. Wear heat-resistant gloves when handling molten material.
Safety glasses with side-shields
No special skin protection requirements during normal handling and use.
Employees should wash their hands and face before eating, drinking, or using tobacco products. Educate and train employees in the safe use and handling of this product. Purgings should be collected as small flat thin shapes or thin strands to allow for rapid cooling.
