2.3 Other hazards
The products are considered nonhazardous when used according to accepted practices for the intended use. Cut offs are very slippery when on the floor and can cause slipping. Material dust caused by cutting, sawing or sanding may cause eye and/or skin irritation.
Exposure to fumes generated if the product is heated above 400C (752F) may result in "Polymer Fume Fever"flulike symptoms (chills, fever, tightness in the chest), appearing two or more hours after exposure and subsiding within 36 to 48 hours. Remove patient to fresh air and consult a physician if severe.
Thermal degradation of the product at temperatures over 400C (752F) yields a range of highly toxic and corrosive products like carbonyl fluoride, hydrogen fluoride, carbon dioxide an carbon monoxide.

This product is REACH compliant and does not contain REACH SVHC's (Substances of very high concern) and is considered nonhazardous when used as intended and in accordance with recommended specifications and parameters.
4: FIRST AID MEASURES
4.1 Description of First Aid Measures
Inhalation:
Not applicable when product is used according accepted practices for the intended use.
Processing at high temperature (> 400C (752F)) may generate fumes which can cause "Polymer Fume Fever". Remove the patient to fresh air and consult a physician if severe.
Skin contact:
Contact with dust caused by cutting, sawing or sanding may cause skin irritation. Also contact with the adhesive may cause skin irritation.

Eye contact:
Contact with dust caused by cutting, sawing or sanding may cause eye irritation. Wash with plenty of water. If irritation persists, get medical attention.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, get medical advice. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed by medical personnel.
4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Symptoms:
Symptons of polymer fume fever may be delayed. Repeated episodes of polymer fume fever may result in persistent lung effects.
Inhalation of decomposition products from overheating may cause lung irritation or shortness of breath
4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Treatment:
Treat symptomatically
5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
5.1 Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media are water, CO2, foam and dry chemical
5.2 Special hazards arising from the product
Hazardous thermal decomposition products are: Hydrogen fluoride, fluorinated compounds, perfluoroisobutylene, tetrafluoroethylene, hexafluoropropylene, trifluoromethane and carbon oxides.
5.3 Advice for firefighters
Wear selfcontained breathing apparatus and protective suit. Wear neoprene gloves during cleaning up work after fire
Protect from hydrogen fluoride fumes which react with water to form hydrofluoric acid
Observe local regulations when contaminated water and burning waste are removed
6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Collect dust and fibers generated during sanding, sawing and cutting by vacuming 6.4 Reference to other sections For disposal instructions, see section 13 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1 Precaution for safe handling Solid product which presents minimal hazards to personnel when handling in accordance with operating and storage recommendations. Wash hands thoroughly before smoking. Tobacco contaminated with PTFE can cause polymer fume fever Dispose in accordance with local regulations as a solid nonhazardous waste and avoid inappropriate disposal practices Do not incinerate PTFE waste or liner waste 7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities No special precautions required but recommend storing in a dry cool place protected from contamination
8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
8.1 Control parameters
In abnormal situations in confined spaces where the temperature of the polymer exceeds 400C (752F), thermal degradation products may be produced. Exposure limits for these products, which include perfluoroisobutylene, carbonyl fluoride and hydrogen fluoride, must not be exceeded.

8.2 Exposure controls
Engineering measures: Adequate ventilation must be provided when working with the product at elevated temperatures (>400C (752F))
If cutting, sanding or sawing of the product is necessary, to maintain exposures below recommended limits, a properly designed dust collection system is recommended.
Eye protection:
Throughout basic product handling processes and whenever handling materials containing fiberglass, safety glasses, goggles or face shield should be worn.
Hand protection:
Throughout basic product handling processes and whenever handling materials containing fiberglass, leather or synthetic fiber gloves are recommended to minimize cuts and abrasions.
Skin and body protection: To minimize exposure to fiberglass, the wearing of a lose fitting long sleeved shirt and long trousers are recommended.
Hygiene measures:
Wash hands immediately after handling the product and do not contaminate tobacco products
Respiratory protection: Not required for normal use of the product. In situations where high levels of airborne dust/glass fibers are present, a correctly fitting NIOSH/MHSA approved disposable dust respirator should be used. In situations in confined spaces where the temperature of the polymer exceeds 260C (500F), an air supplied respirator should be used
