Safety Data Sheet

Section 1: Identification of the Substance/Mixture and of the Company/Undertaking
1.1 Product identifier
Product Name
Product Description•

Ty-Gard 2000®

• A 9 mil thick laminated spun-bonded polyester substrate reinforced with hybrid
polyester fibers. These fibers have been specifically created to provide high modulus ofstrength on initial impact. The adhesive is a highly aggressive acrylic system thatdelivers high tack, low peel, and high shear strength. This product has an excellent
adhesion to metal or wood. The adhesive has excellent cold temperature andcondensation resistance with an extremely wide application gradient and a built-in
ultra violet stabilizer system.

Section 3 - Composition/Information on Ingredients
3.1 Substances• Material does not meet the criteria of a substance in accordance with Regulation (EC)No 1272/2008.

3.2 Mixtures• Ty-Gard 2000® Polyester Filament is a family of industrial yarns having similar healthand physical property characteristics. These products are made from polyethylene
glycol terephthalate polymer (CAS# 25036-59-9) and one or more surface finishes
applied at <1.5-% total weight of fiber.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures
4.1 Description of first aid measures
InhalationEye• Move victim to fresh air. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Give artificial
respiration if victim is not breathing. If signs/symptoms continue, get medicalattention.
• In case of contact with substance, immediately flush skin with running water for atleast 20 minutes.
• If contact with material occurs flush eyes with water.

Ingestion• Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

Skin

4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed• Under normal conditions of use, no health effects are expected.

4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Notes to Physician• All treatments should be based on observed signs and symptoms of distress in thepatient. Consideration should be given to the possibility that overexposure to materials
other than this product may have occurred.

Section 5 - Firefighting Measures
5.1 Extinguishing media
Suitable Extinguishing Media • In case of fire use media as appropriate for surrounding fire.
Unsuitable ExtinguishingMedia• No data available

5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Unusual Fire and ExplosionHazards
Hazardous Combustion
Products• Polyester filament yarns will burn if exposed to flame.
• Combustion products will be comprised of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The exact
composition will depend on the conditions of combustion.

5.3 Advice for firefighters• Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
Structural firefighters' protective clothing will only provide limited protection.

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Personal Precautions
Emergency Procedures• No special precautions expected to be necessary if material is used under ordinaryconditions and as recommended.
• No emergency procedures are expected to be necessary if material is used underordinary conditions as recommended. Use normal clean up procedures.

6.2 Environmental precautions• Avoid run off to waterways and sewers.

6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Containment/Clean-up
Measures• Carefully shovel or sweep up spilled material and place in suitable container.

6.4 Reference to other sections• Refer to Section 8 - Exposure Controls/Personal Protection and Section 13 - DisposalConsiderations.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage
7.1 Precautions for safe handling
Handling• Use good safety and industrial hygiene practices. The polymer immobilizes are theconstituents of the polymer system (delustrants, catalysts residues, etc.) Which
therefore presents no likelihood of exposure under normal conditions of processingand handling. However, exposure to chemical substances may occur as a result ofprocessing these yarns. Processing may release and aerosolize the residual moistureand surface finishes. Heating the fibers may volatize the finishes or produce achemical change under extreme and direct heat. Wash hands after working withfibers.

7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Storage• Store in a cool, dry place.

7.3 Specific end use(s)• Refer to Section 1.2 - Relevant identified uses.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
8.1 Control parameters
Exposure Limits/Guidelines• No applicable exposure limits available for product or components.

8.2 Exposure controls
Engineering• Normal Ventilation is recommended to minimize exposure to finish mists.
Measures/Controls
Personal Protective Equipment
Respiratory• In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.
Eye/Face• Wear safety glasses.
Skin/Body
Environmental ExposureControls• Wear appropriate gloves.
• Controls should be engineered to prevent release to the environment, including
procedures to prevent spills, atmospheric release and release to waterways. Follow
best practice for site management and disposal of waste.
