Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:
– Organic components decompose at 200-455°C (392-
851°F).
– Material may explosively combust when finely
suspended in air.
– Thermal decomposition of organic components may
result in release of oxides of carbon and nitrogen.
Health Hazards Data
Routes of Entry: Inhalation, Ingestion, Eyes, Skin.
Health Hazards:
1 Styrene/acrylate Copolymer
Subcutaneous implantation of polymeric styrene
powder in rats has induced tumors at the site of
implantation.
2 Carbon black
(Group 2B “Possible Carcinogen”; IARC)
Overexposure to carbon black is associated with
causing irritation, conjunctivitis, and corneal
hypoplasia of the eyes; minor irritation and eczema of
the skin; and irritation and bronchitis. Long-term
inhalation exposure may be associated with causing
lung cancer.
3 Polypropylene
(Group 3 “Not Classifiable”; IARC)
Subcutaneous implantation of polypropylene powder in
rats has induced tumors at the site of implantation.
4 Amorphous Fumed Silica
(Group 3 “Not Classifiable”; IARC)
Overexposure to amorphous silica has been associated
with causing irritation of the lungs and
pneumoconiosis. Long-term inhalation exposure may
be associated with producing tumors in laboratory
animals.
Reactivity Data
Stability: Stable
Polymerization: Will not occur.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Thermal
decomposition may result in release of oxides of carbon
and nitrogen.
Temperature: Do not expose to temperatures above
200°C (392°F).
Incompatibility: Avoid exposure to strong oxidizers.
Spill Cleanup and Disposal
Spill Cleanup
Small Spills
1 Remove sources of ignition.
2 Clean up spill with wet cloth.
Large Spills
1 Remove sources of ignition.
2 Wear protective gear: respirator, rubber gloves, goggles
(see below)
3 Clean up spill with scoop, being careful not to generate
a lot of dust.
Waste Disposal
Follow appropriate federal, state and local regulations.
Safe Handling and Use
Respiratory Protection: Not normally required. For large
spills, use NIOSH-approved full face-piece respirator
with HEPA cartridge during cleanup.
Protective Gloves and/or Eye Protection: Not normally
required. For large spills, use rubber gloves and
chemical worker’s goggles during cleanup.
Ventilation: Outside of normal ventilation, not normally
required.
Other Protective Equipment and/or Hygienic Practices:
None
Special Precautions
Precautions for Handling or Storage: Protect from high
heat. Avoid making dust.
Other Precautions: None
