Polypropylene Resin/PelletsSection 4: First Aid MeasuresDescription of necessary first aid measuresInhalation:Skin Contact:Eye Contact:Ingestion:If there is excessive inhalation of fumes move person to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms continue.If material is molten, do not pull molten polymer from skin. Cool with water. Get medical attention if burn issevere.If material is molten cool with water and get medical attention. If material is dust rinse with water and getmedical attention if symptoms persist.Remove material from mouth. Rinse mouth with water.Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayedInhalation:Skin Contact:Eye Contact:Ingestion:Nuisance dusts can be irritating to the upper respiratory tract. Irritating fume may form when the material isheated.Contact with hot or molten material may cause thermal burns to the skin.Dust from processing may cause irritation to the eyes. Contact to the eyes with molten material may causethermal burns.Swallowed material should pose no hazard, but get medical attention if symptoms occur. May be a chokinghazard.Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment neededNo further information available.Section 5: Firefighting MeasuresExtinguishing mediaSuitable extinguishing media:Unsuitable extinguishing media:Dry chemical extinguisher, carbon dioxide extinguisher, water spray/ mistDo not use solid stream or jet. May cause fire to spread.Special hazards arising from the chemicalFire hazard:Explosion hazard:Hazardous decomposition productsin case of fire:May be combustible at high temperatures. May form combustible dust concentration inair.Dust explosion hazard. Airborne dust that is exposed to an ignition source may burn inopen areas or explode in confined spaces.Release of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons.Advice for firefightersFirefighting instructions:Protection during firefighting:Other information:Remove all nonessential personnel from area. Do no use high pressure stream/ jet toextinguish fire. Be careful not to raise flammable dust during firefighting measures.Self – contained breathing apparatus and protective firefighting clothing (bunker gear)should be worn if fighting the fire at a close proximity.Hot material may reignite, keep material wet until cooled.Section 6: Accidental Release MeasuresPersonal precautions, protective equipment and emergency proceduresFor non – emergency personnel:For emergency responders:Environmental precaution:Spilled material may create a slipping hazard. Remove material from walking/ workingsurfaces immediately.Protective clothing may be necessary in certain incidents – see Section 8 for furtherinformationRecycle if possible. Do not dispose of this material into the environment. Do not allowmaterial to enter public waterways.Methods and materials for containment and clean upSmall Spill:Large Spill:Date of Issue: July 2015Vacuum, sweep and shovel material into suitable containers. Recycle or dispose of inaccordance with local, state and federal laws.Prevent spread of material. Vacuum, sweep and shovel material into suitable containers.Recycle or dispose of in accordance with local, state and federal laws. Inform localauthorizes of any spread into sewage or open bodies of water. Avoid creating large amountsof dust in confined areas.Revision: 0
