Polymer of epichlorohydrin-polyglycol
026142-30-3 100% polymer
Emergency overview: No known significant immediate hazards Appearance: Clear liquid Flash Point: 310° F Potential Health Effects Eye: May irritate eyes slightly, transiently. Skin: Not expected to be irritating to the skin. Ingestion: Oral toxicity low. Ingestion of small amounts from normal handling in the work environment are unlikely to cause injury. Ingesting significant amounts may cause injury. Inhalation: Respiratory irritation possible at elevated temperatures which increase vapor levels. Chronic: No information found.
Eyes: Flush eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Skin: Wash off in shower or in running water. Ingestion: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention. Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If symptoms occur, seek medical attention. Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively. No specific antidote known.
General Information: Flash Point: 310°F (Pensky-Martens Closed Cup) Autoignition Temperture: Not available Flammability Limits: Upper: Not available Lower: Not available Protective Equipment: Wear a NIOSH approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and firefighter turnout gear. Remove non-emergency personnel from the area. Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam, water fog or fine spray. Alcohol resistant foams preferred when available. Do not use a direct water stream, as it will spread fire. Hazardous Combustion Products: Polymers decompose under fire conditions, forming carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, smoke containing polymer fragments, plus unidentified toxic and/or irritating compounds. If burned without sufficient oxygen, a dense smoke is produced. Application of direct water stream to hot liquid may lead to violent steam generation.
General Information: Remove non-emergency personnel from the area. Contain the material to prevent contamination of surface water, ground water, soil. Spills/Leaks: Absorb the spill with inert material such as sand. Collect material in suitable containers for disposal. After pick-up is complete, wash contaminated area with steam or hot soapy water. Do not use solvents for cleanup unless the safe handling guidelines for the specific solvent are followed.
Handling: Avoid skin and eye contact. Avoid breating vapors. Storage: Store in tightly closed containers in cool, dry area.
Engineering Controls: Good general ventilation sufficient under most conditions, but local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations. Exposure Limits: None established. Personal Protective Equipment Eyes: Use safety glasses. If discomfort occurs, use a full-face respirator. Skin: For brief contact, wear clean body-covering clothing. For prolonged or repeated exposure, wear chemically resistant gloves. Remove contaminated clothing promptly and wash clothing before reuse. Respirators: Under most conditions respiratory protection unnecessary. In mist conditions, use an approved mist respirator. If irritation occurs, use an approved air-purifying respirator.
Physical State: liquid Appearance: clear Odor: ether-like pH: not available Vapor Pressure: 1.4 mm @ 80°C Vapor Density: Not available Evaporation Rate: Not available Viscosity: 60-70 mPa·s @25°C Boiling Point: >200°C Freezing/Melting Point: Not available Autoignition Temperature: 300°C Flash Point: 310°F Decomposition Temperature: Not available Explosion Limits: Lower: Not available Upper: Not available Solubility in water: insoluble Specific Gravity/Density: 1.06 g/cm3 Molecular Formula: Not available Molecular Weight: Not available
Chemical Stability: Stable Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat Incompatibility with Other Materials: Amines, acids, bases, oxidizing materials Hazardous Decomposition of Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, polymer gragments Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur
LD50/LC50 Information: LD50, oral, rat >4000 mg/kg LD50, skin, rat >2000 mg/kg Did not cause sensitization in guinea pigs. Carcinogenicity: Not available Teratogenicity: Not available Reproductive Effects: Not available Neurotoxicity: Not available Mutagenicity: Not available Other Studies: Not available
Environmental Fate: Material is not readily biodegradable. Biodegradation in CO2 Evolution Test after 28 days: 14-21%(Modified Sturm Test). Movement & partitioning is estimated to be low. Aquatic: Material is not harmful to fish or to aquatic invertebrates on an acute basis.
RCRA P-Series: None RCRA U-Series: None Dispose of in accordance with all federal, state and local regulations. Do not dump on ground, into any sewer, or into any body of water. Consult a licensed, permitted waste recycler, reclaimer, incinerator or other thermal destruction service.
