Ingestion can cause gastrointestinal tract irritation, nausea, and vomiting. Section 4 - First Aid Measures Eye Contact: Flush eyes for 15 minutes with copious amounts o f water, retracting eyelids often. Seek medical attention. Skin Contact: Wash skin thoroughly with mild soap and water. Flush with lukewarm water for 15 minutes. If irritation persists, consult a physician. Inhalation: If symptoms o f irritation or discomfort are experienced, or victim is overcome by exposture, remove affected person to fresh air. Give oxygen or artificial respiration as needed. Ingestion: If conscious, drink three to four 8 ounce glasses o f water or milk. Call a physician. If unconscious, immediately take affected person to a hospital. Do nor give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures Flash Point: Not Flammable Lower Explosive Limit: Nor Applicable Upper Explosive Limit: Not Applicable Autoignirion Temperature: Not Applicable Extinguishing Media: Water (spray or fog), foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (C02). Unusual Fire Hazards: Fluoropolymers will degrade upon prolonged heating or in a fure, liberating carbonyl fluoride and hydrogen fluoride (HF). Decomposition products are toxic if inhaled ox they come into contact with moist skin. HF has an ACGIH TLV ceiling limit o f 3 ppm (2.6 mg/m3) and an OSHA PEL TWa c f 3 ppm. Carbonyl fluoride has an ACGIH TLV TWA and OSHA PEL TWA o f 2 ppm (5 rag/m3). Fire Fighting Procedures: Use self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and skin protection for acid gas exposure. Do not enter fire area without proper protection. Fight fire from safe distance. If possible, air monitoring should be performed. Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures 000170 bttp://l0.

Place spilled material into a covered container for disposal. Dispose o f according to applicable local, state and federal regulations. Extinguish all ignition sources and evacuate the area. Exercise caution - spill area may be extremely slippery. Only personnel equipped with eye protection should be allowed in the area. Section 7 - Handling and Storage Wash hands after use and before handling food or applying cosmetics. Do not use tobacco products in the immediate area. Keep containers closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flames. Do not store near combustible materials.

Local exhaust ventilation at a rate o f 50 feet per minute. Personal Protective Equipment: Respiratory Protection: No occupational exposure standards have been developed for this material. In situations where exposure to vapors or mists is likely, NIOSH/MSHA approved respirators are recommendedRespirator use limitations made by NIOSH/MSHA or the manufacturer must be observed. Respiratory protection programs must be in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.134. Eye Protection: Eye/Face Protection: ANSI Z87.1 approved safety glasses with side shields or equivalent. Safety goggles where there is a potential for splashing or contact with liquid material. Skin Protection: Nitrile gloves where there is a potential for splashing or contact with liquid material.

Symptoms include chills, headache, nausea, breathing discomfort, weakness, cough, sore throat, and tightness in the chest. The symptoms generally disappear within 24 to 48 hours. The specific chemicals in the fume which cause polymer fame fever are not known. A common cause o f polymer fume fever is smoking tobacco contaminated with minute amounts o f polyietrafluoroethylene (PTFE). In one experiment, volunteers developed a fever after smoking a single cigarette contaminated with less than I mg o f PTFE. Above 400 C, the quantity o f fumes and their toxicity increase. Hydrogen fluoride and other toxic fluorinated compounds are produced. Serious lung damage (inflammation of the lungs) may occur in severe cases, but recovery is normally complete. No fatalities from inhalation o f PTFE fumes have been reported; no cases o f polymer fume fever from overheating o f finished PTFE products have been reported. This product may contain small amounts o f residual tetrafluoroetbylene (TFE) monomer that can be released during processing. TFE has been shown to cause liver and kidney cancer in laboratory animals in a test conducted by the National Toxicology Program (NTP). It is also listed by the state of California under Proposition 65 as a carcinogen. Exposures to TFE can occur in handling newly opened drums and in situations where processing temperatures exceed m anufacturers recommendations. Avoid breathing fumes and gases produced in processing or burning o f fluoropolymer containing parts. To minimize exposures to trace levels of TFE, follow the handling instructions in Section 8 o f the MSDS. For additional information, consul; the current edition o f the guide to the Safe Handling o f Fluoropolyraers published by the Society o f Plastics Industry, Inc. (SPI) Fluoropolymer Division.
