Fire/Explosion
HazardOnce acrylic fibre is ignited, an exothermic reaction can occur in the absence of oxygen withevolution of hazardous materials.
Combustible solid which burns but propagates flame with difficulty; it is estimated that mostorganic dusts are combustible (circa 70%) - according to the circumstances under which the
combustion process occurs, such materials may cause fires and / or dust explosions.
Organic powders when finely divided over a range of concentrations regardless of particulate
size or shape and suspended in air or some other oxidizing medium may form explosive dust-air
mixtures and result in a fire or dust explosion (including secondary explosions).
Avoid generating dust, particularly clouds of dust in a confined or unventilated space as dusts
may form an explosive mixture with air, and any source of ignition, i.e. flame or spark, willcause fire or explosion. Dust clouds generated by the fine grinding of the solid are a particularhazard; accumulations of fine dust (420 micron or less) may burn rapidly and fiercely if ignited- particles exceeding this limit will generally not form flammable dust clouds; once initiated,
however, larger particles up to 1400 microns diameter will contribute to the propagation of an
explosion.
In the same way as gases and vapours, dusts in the form of a cloud are only ignitable over arange of concentrations; in principle, the concepts of lower explosive limit (LEL) and upper
explosive limit (UEL) are applicable to dust clouds but only the LEL is of practical use; - this isbecause of the inherent difficulty of achieving homogeneous dust clouds at high temperatures(for dusts the LEL is often called the "Minimum Explosible Concentration", MEC).
When processed with flammable liquids/vapors/mists,ignitable (hybrid) mixtures may beformed with combustible dusts. Ignitable mixtures will increase the rate of explosion pressure
rise and the Minimum Ignition Energy (the minimum amount of energy required to ignite dust
clouds - MIE) will be lower than the pure dust in air mixture. The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL)of the vapour/dust mixture will be lower than the individual LELs for the vapors/mists or dusts.
A dust explosion may release of large quantities of gaseous products; this in turn creates a
subsequent pressure rise of explosive force capable of damaging plant and buildings andinjuring people.
Usually the initial or primary explosion takes place in a confined space such as plant or
machinery, and can be of sufficient force to damage or rupture the plant. If the shock wave fromthe primary explosion enters the surrounding area, it will disturb any settled dust layers, forminga second dust cloud, and often initiate a much larger secondary explosion. All large scale
explosions have resulted from chain reactions of this type.
Dry dust can be charged electrostatically by turbulence, pneumatic transport, pouring, inexhaust ducts and during transport.
Build-up of electrostatic charge may be prevented by bonding and grounding.
Powder handling equipment such as dust collectors, dryers and mills may require additionalSafety Data Sheet(SDS)

protection measures such as explosion venting.
All movable parts coming in contact with this material should have a speed of less than
1-meter/sec.
A sudden release of statically charged materials from storage or process equipment, particularly
at elevated temperatures and/ or pressure, may result in ignition especially in the absence of anapparent ignition source.
One important effect of the particulate nature of powders is that the surface area and surface
structure (and often moisture content) can vary widely from sample to sample, depending of
how the powder was manufactured and handled; this means that it is virtually impossible to use
flammability data published in the literature for dusts (in contrast to that published for gases andvapours).
Autoignition temperatures are often quoted for dust clouds (minimum ignition temperature(MIT)) and dust layers (layer ignition temperature (LIT)); LIT generally falls as the thickness of
the layer increases.
Combustion products include:
carbon monoxide (CO)carbon dioxide (CO2)nitrogen oxides (NOx)other pyrolysis products typical of burning organic material.
NOTE: Burns with intense heat. Produces melting, flowing, burning liquid and dense acrid
black smoke.
May emit poisonous fumes.
May emit corrosive fumes.
CARE: Contamination of heated / molten liquid with water may cause violent steam explosion,
with scattering of hot contents.

SECTION 7 Handling and storage
7.1 Precautions for safe handling

Safe handling

The greatest potential for injury caused by molten materials occurs during purging of machinery(moulders, extruders etc.)
It is essential that workers in the immediate area of the machinery wear eye and skin protection(such as full face, safety glasses, heat resistant gloves, overalls and safety boots) as protection
from thermal burns.
Fumes or vapours emitted from hot melted materials, during converting operations, maycondense on overhead metal surfaces or exhaust ducts. The condensate may contain substances
which are irritating or toxic. Avoid contact of that material with the skin. Wear rubber or otherimpermeable gloves when cleaning contaminated areas.
Avoid process temperatures above decomposition temperatures. Overheating may occur atexcessively high cylinder heats, overworking of the melt by wrong screw configuration, or bylong dwell time in the machine. Under such conditions, thermal emissions and heat-degradation
products might, without proper ventilation, reach hazardous concentrations in the convertingarea. Hot purgings should be collected only as thin flat strands to allow for rapid cooling. Hot
purgings should be cooled by quenching in water in a well-ventilated area.
Avoid all personal contact, including inhalation.
Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs.
Use in a well-ventilated area.
Prevent concentration in hollows and sumps.
DO NOT enter confined spaces until atmosphere has been checked.
DO NOT allow material to contact humans, exposed food or food utensils.
Avoid contact with incompatible materials.
When handling, DO NOT eat, drink or smoke.
Keep containers securely sealed when not in use.
Avoid physical damage to containers.
Always wash hands with soap and water after handling.
Work clothes should be laundered separately. Launder contaminated clothing before re-use.

Use good occupational work practice.
Observe manufacturer's storage and handling recommendations contained within this SDS.
Atmosphere should be regularly checked against established exposure standards to ensure safe
working conditions are maintained.
Organic powders when finely divided over a range of concentrations regardless of particulate
size or shape and suspended in air or some other oxidizing medium may form explosive dust-air
mixtures and result in a fire or dust explosion (including secondary explosions)
Minimise airborne dust and eliminate all ignition sources. Keep away from heat, hot surfaces,
sparks, and flame.
Establish good housekeeping practices.
Remove dust accumulations on a regular basis by vacuuming or gentle sweeping to avoid
creating dust clouds.
Use continuous suction at points of dust generation to capture and minimise the accumulation ofdusts. Particular attention should be given to overhead and hidden horizontal surfaces tominimise the probability of a "secondary" explosion. According to NFPA Standard 654, dust
layers 1/32 in.(0.8 mm) thick can be sufficient to warrant immediate cleaning of the area.
Do not use air hoses for cleaning.
Minimise dry sweeping to avoid generation of dust clouds. Vacuum dust-accumulating surfaces
and remove to a chemical disposal area. Vacuums with explosion-proof motors should be used.
Control sources of static electricity. Dusts or their packages may accumulate static charges, andstatic discharge can be a source of ignition.
Solids handling systems must be designed in accordance with applicable standards (e.g. NFPA
including 654 and 77) and other national guidance.
Do not empty directly into flammable solvents or in the presence of flammable vapors.
The operator, the packaging container and all equipment must be grounded with electricalbonding and grounding systems. Plastic bags and plastics cannot be grounded, and antistatic
bags do not completely protect against development of static charges.
Empty containers may contain residual dust which has the potential to accumulate following
settling. Such dusts may explode in the presence of an appropriate ignition source.
Do NOT cut, drill, grind or weld such containers.
In addition ensure such activity is not performed near full, partially empty or empty containers
without appropriate workplace safety authorisation or permit.

8.2 Exposure controls

Appropriate
engineering
controls

For molten materials:
Provide mechanical ventilation; in general such ventilation should be provided at compounding/converting areas and at fabricating/ filling work stations where the material is heated. Local
exhaust ventilation should be used over and in the vicinity of machinery involved in handlingthe molten material.
Keep dry!!
Processing temperatures may be well above boiling point of water, so wet or damp material may
cause a serious steam explosion if used in unvented equipment.
Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and thehazard. Well-designed engineering controls can be highly effective in protecting workers andwill typically be independent of worker interactions to provide this high level of protection.
The basic types of engineering controls are:Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce therisk.
Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard "physically" awayfrom the worker and ventilation that strategically "adds" and "removes" air in the work
environment. Ventilation can remove or dilute an air contaminant if designed properly. The
design of a ventilation system must match the particular process and chemical or contaminant inuse.
Employers may need to use multiple types of controls to prevent employee overexposure.
Local exhaust ventilation usually required. If risk of overexposure exists, wear approved
respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection. Supplied-air type respirator may
be required in special circumstances. Correct fit is essential to ensure adequate protection.
An approved self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) may be required in some situations.
Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage area. Air contaminants generated in
the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities which, in turn, determine the "capture
velocities" of fresh circulating air required to effectively remove the contaminant.
Type of Contaminant:

Air Speed:

solvent, vapours, degreasing etc., evaporating from tank(in still air).

0.25-0.5 m/s (50-100 f/min.)aerosols, fumes from pouring operations, intermittent
container filling, low speed conveyer transfers, welding,

0.5-1 m/s (100-200 f/min.)Safety Data Sheet(SDS)
According to GHS

Report No.: WTH22H12254345C

Date: Dec. 22, 2022

Page 13 of 22

spray drift, plating acid fumes, pickling (released at low
velocity into zone of active generation)
direct spray, spray painting in shallow booths, drum filling,
conveyer loading, crusher dusts, gas discharge (active
generation into zone of rapid air motion)

1-2.5 m/s (200-500 f/min.)grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, high speed wheel
generated dusts (released at high initial velocity into zoneof very high rapid air motion).

2.5-10 m/s (500-2000 f/min.)Within each range the appropriate value depends on:
Lower end of the range

Upper end of the range

1: Room air currents minimal or favourable to capture

1: Disturbing room air currents

2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of nuisance value
only.

2: Contaminants of high toxicity

3: Intermittent, low production.

3: High production, heavy use

4: Large hood or large air mass in motion

4: Small hood-local control only

Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the opening of asimple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the square of distance from theextraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the air speed at the extraction point should be
adjusted, accordingly, after reference to distance from the contaminating source. The air velocity
at the extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 1-2 m/s (200-400 f/min) for
extraction of solvents generated in a tank 2 meters distant from the extraction point. Other
mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits within the extraction apparatus,
make it essential that theoretical air velocities are multiplied by factors of 10 or more when
extraction systems are installed or used.

Personal
protection

Eye and faceprotection

Safety glasses with side shields.
Chemical goggles.
Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate
irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lenses or restrictions on use,should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a review of lens absorption
and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical

and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should bereadily available. In the event of chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately andremove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be removed at the first signs of eyeredness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after workers have
washed hands thoroughly. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59], [AS/NZS 1336 or
national equivalent]
Skin protection

See Hand protection below

Hands/feetprotection

NOTE:
The material may produce skin sensitisation in predisposed individuals. Care must be taken,
when removing gloves and other protective equipment, to avoid all possible skin contact.
Contaminated leather items, such as shoes, belts and watch-bands should be removed anddestroyed.
The selection of suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marksof quality which vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Where the chemical is a preparationof several substances, the resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance andhas therefore to be checked prior to the application.
The exact break through time for substances has to be obtained from the manufacturer of theprotective gloves and has to be observed when making a final choice.
Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand care. Gloves must only be worn on clean
hands. After using gloves, hands should be washed and dried thoroughly. Application of anon-perfumed moisturiser is recommended.
Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Important factors in the selectionof gloves include:
frequency and duration of contact,chemical resistance of glove material,
glove thickness anddexterity
Select gloves tested to a relevant standard (e.g. Europe EN 374, US F739, AS/NZS 2161.1 ornational equivalent).
When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur, a glove with a protection class of 5or higher (breakthrough time greater than 240 minutes according to EN 374, AS/NZS 2161.10.1
or national equivalent) is recommended.
When only brief contact is expected, a glove with a protection class of 3 or higher(breakthrough time greater than 60 minutes according to EN 374, AS/NZS 2161.10.1 or national
equivalent) is recommended.
Some glove polymer types are less affected by movement and this should be taken into
account when considering gloves for long-term use.
Contaminated gloves should be replaced.

Safety Data Sheet(SDS)
According to GHS

Report No.: WTH22H12254345C

Date: Dec. 22, 2022

Page 15 of 22

As defined in ASTM F-739-96 in any application, gloves are rated as:
Excellent when breakthrough time > 480 min
Good when breakthrough time > 20 min
Fair when breakthrough time < 20 min
Poor when glove material degrades
For general applications, gloves with a thickness typically greater than 0.35 mm, arerecommended.
It should be emphasised that glove thickness is not necessarily a good predictor of glove
resistance to a specific chemical, as the permeation efficiency of the glove will be dependent on
the exact composition of the glove material. Therefore, glove selection should also be based on
consideration of the task requirements and knowledge of breakthrough times.
Glove thickness may also vary depending on the glove manufacturer, the glove type and theglove model. Therefore, the manufacturers technical data should always be taken into account toensure selection of the most appropriate glove for the task.
Note: Depending on the activity being conducted, gloves of varying thickness may be required
for specific tasks. For example:
Thinner gloves (down to 0.1 mm or less) may be required where a high degree of manual
dexterity is needed. However, these gloves are only likely to give short duration protection andwould normally be just for single use applications, then disposed of.
Thicker gloves (up to 3 mm or more) may be required where there is a mechanical (as well as achemical) risk i.e. where there is abrasion or puncture potential
Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using gloves, hands should be washed anddried thoroughly. Application of a non-perfumed moisturiser is recommended.
When handling hot materials wear heat resistant, elbow length gloves.
Rubber gloves are not recommended when handling hot objects, materials
Protective gloves eg. Leather gloves or gloves with Leather facing
Experience indicates that the following polymers are suitable as glove materials for protection
against undissolved, dry solids, where abrasive particles are not present.
polychloroprene.
nitrile rubber.

Respirators may be necessary when engineering and administrative controls do not adequately prevent exposures.
The decision to use respiratory protection should be based on professional judgment that takes into account toxicity
information, exposure measurement data, and frequency and likelihood of the worker's exposure - ensure users are
not subject to high thermal loads which may result in heat stress or distress due to personal protective equipment(powered, positive flow, full face apparatus may be an option).
Published occupational exposure limits, where they exist, will assist in determining the adequacy of the selected
respiratory protection. These may be government mandated or vendor recommended.
Certified respirators will be useful for protecting workers from inhalation of particulates when properly selected
and fit tested as part of a complete respiratory protection program.
Where protection from nuisance levels of dusts are desired, use type N95 (US) or type P1 (EN143) dust masks.
Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or
CEN (EU)Use approved positive flow mask if significant quantities of dust becomes airborne.

SECTION 13 Disposal considerations
13.1 Waste treatment methods

Wastechemicals:

Legislation addressing waste disposal requirements may differ by country, state and/ or territory.
Each user must refer to laws operating in their area. In some areas, certain wastes must be
tracked.
A Hierarchy of Controls seems to be common - the user should investigate:
Reduction
Reuse
Recycling
Disposal (if all else fails)
This material may be recycled if unused, or if it has not been contaminated so as to make it
unsuitable for its intended use. Shelf life considerations should also be applied in making
decisions of this type. Note that properties of a material may change in use, and recycling orSafety Data Sheet(SDS)

reuse may not always be appropriate. In most instances the supplier of the material should be
consulted.
DO NOT allow wash water from cleaning or process equipment to enter drains.
It may be necessary to collect all wash water for treatment before disposal.
In all cases disposal to sewer may be subject to local laws and regulations and these should beconsidered first.
