Fire-fighting Instructions: Keep people away.  Isolate fire area and deny unnecessary entry.  If material is molten, do not apply direct water stream.  Use fine water spray or foam.  Soak thoroughly with water to cool and prevent re-ignition.  Cool surroundings with water to localize fire zone.

Protective Fire-fighting Equipment: Use approved self-contained breathing apparatus and personal protective clothing (turn out gear)

5. Reactivity Data:

Stability: This is a stable material, avoid sources of ignition

Incompatibility with Other Materials: Reactive with oxidizing agents.  Organic solvents, esters, amines and aldehydes will dissolve product.  High temperature, poor ventilation with freshly expanded product may create hazardous, explosive or fire conditions.

Hazardous Decomposition Products: Does not normally decompose.  Evolution of small amounts of hydrogen halides occurs when heated above 250°C.  Under high heat, non-flaming conditions, small amounts of aromatic hydrocarbons such as styrene and ethylbenzene are generated.  Hazardous decomposition products depend upon temperature, air supply and the presence of other materials.  Hazardous decomposition products may include and are not limited to ethylbenzene, aromatic compounds, aldehydes, hydrogen bromide, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, polymer fragments, and styrene.

Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur

6. Health Hazard Data:

Eye: Dust particles may cause eye irritation and/or injury

Skin Contact: None.  May produce slight irritation is a few individuals

Ingestion: Biologically inert.  May act as an obstruction if swallowed.

Inhalation: Little or no smell.  May cause dizziness in a few individuals.

Systemic (Other Target Organ) Effects: None.

Cancer Information: None.

Teratology (Birth Defects): None.

Reproductive Effects: None.

7. First Aid:

Eyes: Flush eyes with water for 15 minutes.  Seek medical attention if irritation persists.

Ingestion: Ingestion of this material is unlikely. If it does occur, do not induce vomiting, seek medical attention.

Inhalation: Move person to fresh air.  Seek medical attention if irritation persists

Note to Physician:

8. Handling and Storage:

Handling: Use protective equipment (gloves, safety glasses, etc.) when handling uncontained material.  Avoid breathing dusts from this material.
