2 2. HAZARADS IDENTIFICATION. Health danger: The product is not classified as a dangerous substance, however caution should be shown during processing. Inhalation of dust may cause respiratory irritation. If overheated or ignited fumes may be created that can cause respiratory irritant. High doses may cause headache and nausea. Process equipment should always be proper ventilated. Under hot melt processing, wear personal protective equipment to prevent thermal burns. Fire: The product can burn but is not classified as flammable Environment: The product is not regarded as dangerous to the environment. 3. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS. CAS number: *) Content: Chemical name: < 100.0% (Homopolymer) N/A**) < 1% Carbon black master batch (Valid only for black coloured grades) N/A***) < 1% TiO2 master batch (Valid only for white coloured grades) N/A < 1% Various pigments (Valid for unspecified coloured grades) *) The product is a recycled material consisting of raw materials from different sources and may therefore contain other ethylene variants. **) (Carbon black CAS: ) ***) (TiO2 CAS: ) All constituent additives are wetted by the polymer matrix and pose no risk to humans. 2

3 4. FIRST AID MEASURES. SKIN: EYES: INHALATION: INGESTION: In case molten polymer contacts skin, cool rapidly with cold water. Do not peel polymer from the skin. Seek medical attention for thermal burns. In case molten polymer contacts eyes, immediately flush eyes with running cold water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist. In case of exposure to gas/fumes from over heating or ignition, move to fresh air. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist. Seek medical attention. 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES. EXTINGUSING MEDIA: Water, foam, dry chemical, CO 2 EXTINGUSING MEDIA THAT ARE NOT TO BE USED FOR SAFTYREASONS: Waterbeam HAZARDOUS COMPUSTION FUMES: Carbon oxide(co and CO2) and sod PROCITIVE FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT: Fire fighter and others exposed to combustion fumes should wear full self-contained protective clothing including breathing apparatus. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES. SPILL OR RELEASE: Remove any ignition sources. Keep away from drain. Reclaim for processing if possible. Clean by vacuuming or sweeping to prevent slipping. Place material in suitable containers for reuse or disposal in suitable facility. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE. HANDLING: STORAGE: Avoid inhalation of dust/mists/fumes. Open containers in a well ventilated area. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at process machinery. Keep material dry. Keep container closed and in good order to prevent contamination and/or spillages. 3

4 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION. Provide adequate exhaust ventilation at processing equipment. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: If ventilation is adequate no respiratory protection is necessary. Wear a certified and approved respirator if ventilation is inadequate. SKIN: EYE: Wear protective leather gloves, long sleeve cotton shirt and long pants when handling molten polymer. Wear tight fitting safety goggles. 9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES. 9.1 GENERAL INFORMATION: APPEARANCE: PHYSICAL STATE: COLOUR: ODOUR: Pellets. Solid According to specifications.
