First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Move to fresh air in case of accidental inhalation of dust or fumes from overheating or combustion. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Call a physician.
Immediate Medical Attention
Call a physician.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Water, Foam, Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Under severe dusting conditions, this material may form explosive mixtures in air.
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit. The solid polymer can only be burned with difficulty.
Firefighter Protection
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Do not discharge to streams, ponds, lakes or sewers.
Shovel or sweep up.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Minimize the generation and accumulation of dust. Can accumulate high static electric charge during handling. Grounding and elimination of the static charge is recommended.
Keep containers dry and tightly closed to avoid moisture absorption and contamination.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
In the event that the polymer is heated above 200°C (392°F), local ventilation should be used to avoid exposure to fumes. See Bulletin "Proper Use of Local Exhaust Ventilation During Processing of Plastics". Good general ventilation should be provided to keep dust concentrations below the exposure limits.
Wear tightly fitting chemical splash goggles and face shield when possibility exists for eye and face contact due to spattering or splashing of molten material.
Where there is potential for airborne exposures in excess of applicable limits, wear NIOSH approved respiratory protection. Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator if there is any potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or there are any other circumstances where air purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.
If there is a potential for contact with hot/molten material wear heat resistant clothing and footwear.
