Section 3: Hazard Identification


Potential Health Effects:

Eye:  May cause eye irritation

Skin Contact:  Concentrate may cause skin irritation.

Skin  Absorption:  No accute effects expected.

Ingestion:  This product may cause gastrointestinal distress with
            symptoms of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain

Inhalation:  Inhalation of decomposition products (occurs if heated
             above 300° C (572° F) or of smoke from contaminated tobacco
             products may cause respiratory irritation and induce
             Polymer Fume Fever condition.  Symptoms of exposure to
             decomposition products are:  lung irritation, pulmonary
             edema, flu-like symptoms (example:  fever and chills).
             No medical conditions are known to be aggravated by
             exposure.

Chronic effects:  A review of the literature does not sow obvious long
                  term hazard.

Carcinogenicty:  No component known to be present in this product is
                 at > 0.1% is presently listed as a carcinogen by IARC
                 or OSHA unless other wise noted.

Routes of exposure:  Skin contact, eye contact, inhalation



Section 4: First Aid Measures


Eyes:  In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with copious 
       amounts of flowing water for at least 15 minutes, retracting 
       eye lids often.  Get medical attention if irritation persists.

Skin:  Wash skin thoroughly with mild soap and water.  Flush with 
       luke warm water for 15 minutes.  Obtain immediate medical 
       attention if fluid is injected under the skin.

Inhalation:  If symptoms of irritation or discomfort are experienced, 
             or person is overcome by exposure, remove at once to fresh 
             air.  Give oxygen or artificial respiration as needed.
             Polymer Fume Fever symptoms should subside within 
             twenty four hours.

Ingestion:  Do not induce vomiting!  Immediate give two glasses of 
            charcoal slurry or plain water.  Do not attempt to give 
            anything by mouth to an unconscious person.  Contact a 
            physician at once.



Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures

      

Flammability classification:  Not classified.  

Flash Point/Method:  None

Auto-Ignition Temperature:  Not determined

Flammable Limits:  Lower:  Not applicable
                   Upper:  Not applicable

Extinguishing Media:  Water (spray or fog), foam, dry chemical or 
                      carbon dioxide (CO2)

Special Conditions to Avoid:  High temperatures

Hazardous products of Combustion:  Decompostion at high temperatures 
                                   (> 200° C/392° F)

Unusual Fire Hazards:
Fluoropolymers will degrade upon prolonged heating or in a fire,
liberating carbonyl fluoride and hydrogen fluoride (HF).  This gas
is toxic if inhaled or it comes into contact with moist skin.  HF has
an ACGIH TLV ceiling limit of 3 ppm (2.6 mg/m3) and an OSHA PEL TWA
of 3 ppm. Carbonyl fluoride has an ACGIL TLV and OSHA PEL TWA of 2 ppm
(5 mg/m3).

Firefighting procedures/instructions:

Water or foam may cause frothing.  Use water to keep fire expored
container cool.  Water spray may be used to flush spills away from 
exposure.  For fires in the enclosed areas, firefighters must use 
self-contained breathing apparatus.  Prevent run off from fire control 
or dilution from entering streams or drinking water supply.

Properties that could increase fire or explosion hazard:
         None known.




Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

      

Large spills:  
Wear appropriate protective clothing.  Stop source of leak 
if possible.  Dike, contain spill and recover free liquid.  
Prevent entry into waterways.  Soak up residue with an inert 
absorbent such as clay, sand or other suitable materials; 
Store and dispose of properly.  Flush area with water.  
Where feasible and appropriate, remove contaminated soil. 

Small spills:
Neutralize and/or soak up spill with inert absorbent.  
Store in a closed container and dispose of properly.



Section 7: Handling and Storage


Storage and handling:

Store in sealed containers.  Do not store near combustible materials.  
Keep away from heat, sparks, strong oxidizing agents, and flames.  Avoid 
prolonged breathing of the vapors.  Wash hands after use and before 
handling food or applying cosmetics.  Do not use tobacco products in the 
immediate area.  Do not contaminate cigarette or cigar products with the 
product because it will decompose in the heat of the cigarette (or cigar) 
to HF which is very toxic.



Section 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection


Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
   
Eye/Face Protection:
ANSI 87.1 approved safety glasses with side shield or chemical goggles or
equivalent.

Skin Protection:
Use Neoprene-type gloves when handling this product.

Respiratory Protection:
Good industrial hygiene practices recommend that engineering
controls be used to reduce environmental concentrations to the
threshold limit value (TLV), if applicable.  If an applicable
TLV is exceeded provide NIOSH approved respiratory protection.
Not normally required:  Provide exhaust if temperature is expected
to exceed 300° C (572° F).

Other:
Impervious protective clothing and chemical resistant safety
shoes should be worn to minimize contact.  Wash contaminated
clothing with soap and water and dry before reuse.  Emergency
shower and eyewash facility should be provided in all areas in
which this product is handled.
