Revision date Page no. 1.0 Dec 28, 2018 2 of 8 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. 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. 3: COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGEDIENTS 3.1 Substances Not applicable 3.2 Mixtures Ingredient CAS# % by Weight Exposure limits1 Symbol Risk phrases Polytetrafluoroethylene 9002840 >99 N/A None None Above products are defined under the European Union's REACH regulation as articles and as such are exempt from the material data sheets provisions of 29 CFR 1910.1200 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: None Eye contact: None Ingestion: None 1 According to OSHA and ACGIH Revision no. Revision date Page no. 1.0 Dec 28, 2018 3 of 8 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 Personal precautions: None 6.2 Environmental precautions Not applicable 6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up Collect solid product with broom and shovel and place in nonhazardous waste collection container for disposal 6.4 Reference to other sections For disposal instructions, see section 13 Revision no. Revision date Page no. 1.0 Dec 28, 2018 4 of 8 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 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. Perfluoroisobutylene Carbonyl fluoride Hydrogen fluoride TLVTWA 10 ppb 2 ppm 0,5 ppm TLVSTEL 5 ppm 2 ppm IDHL (NIOSH) 30 ppm 8.2 Exposure controls Engineering measures: Adequate ventilation must be provided when working with the product at elevated temperatures (>400C (752F)) Eye protection: Not required Hand protection: Not required Skin and body protection: Not required Hygiene measures: Wash hands immediately after handling the product and do not contaminate tobacco products Respiratory protection: Not required Revision no.
