3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARDS
Route of Entry: N/A
Target Organs: N/A
Inhalation: Not a route of exposure under normal usage. Elevated processing
temperatures may release irritating vapors.
Skin Contact: Not considered hazardous.
Eye Contact: Not considered hazardous. It may cause mechanical irritation if film
comes into contact with the eye.
Ingestion: Not a route of exposure. Not considered hazardous.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: None needed under normal usage. If exposed to vapors at elevated
processing temperatures, remove to fresh air.
Skin Contact: None needed
Eye Contact: None needed under normal usage. If material comes into contact with
the eye, flush eyes with water while holding eyelids apart to ensure
complete irrigation.
Ingestion: None needed.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES
Ignition Temperature: > 770 F (410 C)
Decomposition Temperature: > 527 F (275 C)
LEL: N/A
UEL: N/A
Extinguishing Method: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam, water or other agents
as appropriate for materials in surrounding fire
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear NIOSH/MSHA approved positive pressure self-
contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Gaseous products may be evolved if the film is heated to
very high temperatures and they should be regarded as
hazardous.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Always wear recommended personal protective equipment. Collect and place in a solid waste
container.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling Precautions: Use normal personal hygiene and good housekeeping
Storage Requirements: Store in a cool, dry area, away from direct heat or sunlight

8. EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls: Use general room ventilation plus local exhaust at points of fume
generation to maintain exposure below the PEL/TLV exposure
limits.
Protective Equipment: Use heat resistant gloves if handling melted material. As a general
practice in manufacturing areas, safety glasses that conform to
ANSI Z87.1 should be worn. A NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator
should be worn in areas where the PEL/TLV is exceeded.
