FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
FLASH IGNITION TEMPERATURE No data
UNUSUAL FIRE, EXPLOSION HAZARDS The solid film can be combusted only with difficulty. Hydrogen chloride is a combustion product. During processing the film can pick up a strong static charge. Avoid discharge into dust or solvent laden air as a flash fire or explosion may result.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS Complete combustion gives hydrogen chloride, carbon dioxide and water. Incomplete combustion gives, in addition, carbon monoxide, organic acids, aldehydes, and alcohols.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS Use self-contained breathing apparatus if exposed to fumes.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA Water, carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical.
HAZARDOUS REACTIVITY
STABILITY AT ROOM TEMPERATURE Stable.
MATERIALS TO AVOID None are known.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID Temperatures above 190C. Strong acids and bases may hydrolyze the film.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS Hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon oxidation products including organic acids, aldehydes, and alcohols.
POLYMERIZATION Will not occur.
HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Before using Mylar5 Polyester Film, read the bulletin on safe handling instructions.
ACUTE OR IMMEDIATE EFFECTS: ROUTES OF ENTRY AND SYMPTOMS
INGESTION No data are available on these specific products. One type of Mylar was fed to male and femal rats and dogs for ninety days at the 10% level in their diet. No compound related effects were seen. Mylar has low ingestion toxicity.
SKIN No animal tests have been run. However, based on many years of manufacturing these products, no skin problems are anticipated from normal handling of the film.
EYE Mechanical irritation onlv.
MYL002 page 3
INHALATION Not volatile as marketed. Fumes irritating to the eyes, nose, and throat may be produced at temperatures above about 190C. The exposure may result in reddening, tearing, and itching of the eyes and soreness in the nose and throat together with coughing.
EMERGENCY FIRST AID If exposed to fumes from overheating or combustion, move to fresh air. Consult a physician if symptoms persist. Wash skin with soap and plenty of water. Flush eyes with water. Consult a physician if symptoms persist. If molten polymer contacts skin, cool rapidly with cold water. Do not attempt to peel polymer from skin. Obtain medical attention for thermal burn.
CHRONIC EFFECTS None are known. MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE None are known.
PROTECTION INFORMATION
EYE Safety glasses recommended as part of good industrial safety practice. SKIN Gloves recommended for handling hot film. VENTILATION Normal ventilation except at temperatures above 190C where
local ventilation may be required. RESPIRATOR Not required.
DISPOSAL
SPILL, LEAK OR RELEASE Pick up film to avoid a slipping hazard. WASTE DISPOSAL Landfill is preferred. Forced draft incineration is an
alternate. Provisions for removing acidic gases should be used. Disposal method must conform to federal, state, and local regulations. AQUATIC TOXICITY No data. Toxicity is predicted to be very low based on the negligible water solubility of the films. STORAGE CONDITIONS Store in a cool, dry place. Keep packages closed to prevent contamination.
