The resin is manufactured to the highest standards but, special requirements apply to certain applications such as food end-use contact and direct medical use. For specific information on regulatory compliance contact your local representative.
Workers should be protected from the possibility of skin or eye contact with molten polymer.Safety glasses are suggested as a minimal precaution to prevent mechanical or thermal injury to the eyes.
Molten polymer may be degraded if it is exposed to air during any of the processing and off line operations. The products of degradation have an unpleasant odour. In higher concentrations they may cause irritation of the mucus membranes. Fabrication areas should be ventilated to carry away fumes or vapours. Legislation on the control of emissions and pollution prevention must be observed. If the principles of sound manufacturing practice areadhered to and the place of work is well ventilated, no health hazards are involved in processing the resin.
The resin will burn when supplied with excess heat and oxygen. It should be handled and stored away from contact with direct flames and/or ignition sources. In burning the resin contributes high heat and may generate a dense black smoke. Starting fires can be extinguished by water, developped fires should be extinguished by heavy foams forming an aqueous or polymeric film. For further information about safety in handling and processing please refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet.
