Description:
Polymer combination of resin and greases.
Emergency overview:
This material is not hazardous by OSHA Hazard Communication
Definition
Physical Health Hazards:
Dust may form explosive mixtures with air. Molten polymer may
cause thermal burns. Irritating fumes may be produced at
elevated temperatures.
Physical state: Solid
Color: Clear
Odor: None at room temperature
Odor threshold: No data available
Potential Health Effects:
Routes of exposure:
Eye contact, ingestion, skin contact are all highly unlikely.
Signs and Symptoms of Acute Exposure:
Molten polymer may cause thermal burns. At process temperature,
irritating fumes may cause soreness in the nose and throat,
coughing may result. Mechanical irritation is possible.
Skin contact:
Molten polymer may cause thermal burns
Inhalation:
At process temperatures irritating fumes may be produced.
Inhalation of process fumes may cause soreness in the nose
and throat and coughing. Inhaling Tempfix dust could be
irritating.
Eye contact:
Mechanical irritation is possible if the material is
abraided into a powder.
Ingestion:
Ingestion is unlikely
Chronic Health Effects Summary:
No known chronic health effects.
Conditions Aggravated by Exposure:
No known conditions are aggravated by this material.
Take proper precautions to ensure your own health and safety before
attempting to rescue and providing first aid. For specific information
refer to the Emergency Overview in Section of this MSDS. Good laboratory
hygeine practices should be observed at all times.
Inhalation:
If symptoms are experienced, move victim to fresh
air, if symptoms persist, obtain medical attention.
Eye Contact:
Wash eyes with clean low-pressure water. If irritation
persists, seek medical advice. This situation would arise
only if the product is abraided into a powder.
Skin Contact:
If molten material contacts the skin, immediately
flush the skin with large amounts of water to cool
the affected tissue and polymer. Do not attempt to
peel polymer from skin. Get medical attention immediately.
Ingestion:
Adverse health effects due to ingestion are not
anticipated. If gastric irritation or discomfort
persists, seek medical advice.
Special Conditions to Avoid:
Polyisobutylene dust particles in the atmosphere can be combustible
and may be explosive. Keep away from heat, sparks, flame and all
other ignition sources. Keep container closed. Clean up dust
accumulations. Prevent dust accumulations and dust clouds.
Extinguishing Media:
Use extinguishing media suitable for surrounding fire. Unsuitable
extinguishing media for safety reasons is full water jet.
Fire and Explosure Hazard:
May evolve cabon monoxide and carbon dioxide
Special protective equipment:
Use self containing breathing apparatus.
Precautionary measures related to people:
Caution: Surfaces covered with the material may become slippery.
Environmental protective measures: No special requirements.
Methods of cleaning/absorption: Remove mechanically
Handling:
Ensure that the area is well ventilated. Extraction hood
recommended. No other special precautions required.
Avoid breathing vapors when heated.
Storage:
No special precautions or requirements.
Engineering Controls:
If user operations generate dust or fumes, ventilate area
to prevent accumulation.
Personal protection:
General:
Always observe good laboratory hygeine practices.
Eye:
Always use safety glasses, even for work with small
quantities, such as the mounting of samples for SEM
examination.
Ingredients with threshold limit values to be monitored: None

Chlorine, fuming nitric acid and strong oxidizing agents.
Hazardous Products of Deposition:
Hydrocarbons, acetic acid
Reactions with Air and Water:
Does not react with air, water or other common materials.
Summary: Not considered to be toxic to humans or animals. No evidence of harmful effects in the case of the intended use for SEM sample preparation.
Exotoxicity:
Exotoxicity is expected to be low based on the low water
solubility of polyisobutylene.
Environmental Fate:
No information found in our selected references.
Bioaccumulation:
Not expected to occur.
