4.1 Description of first-aid measures
Inhalation

Skin contact

Eye contact

Ingestion

 In case of accidental inhalation of fumes fromoverheating or combustion:
 Quickly remove exposed individual to open area withfresh air available.
 If symptoms persist, seek for medical attention.
 In case of contact with molten resin: Immediately flush with large amounts of cool runningwater to cool the affected area.
 DO NOT attempt to remove the molten resin fromthe skin.
 D.O NOT pull away clothing which has adhered to theskin as this can cause further injury.
 Obtain immediate medical attention if burn is deep.
 If this product comes in contact with eyes:
 Flush eyes thoroughly with cool running water forseveral minutes.
 If irritation persists, seek for medical attention.
 No effects are expected for ingestion of small
amounts. May be a choking hazard. If in doubt, seek
for medical attention.

SECTION 5. Fire-fighting measures
5.1 Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media
Unsuitable extinguishing media

Foam, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide (CO2) or water spray.
Do not use a solid water stream as it may cause scattering andspreading of fire.

5.2 Physiochemical hazards arising from the chemical
1.
2.
3.
4.

Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.
Combustible particulate solid may decompose under fire conditions.
Heat from fire may melt, decompose polymer, and generate flammable vapours.
In case of fire, hazardous thermal decomposition products may be produced such as carbon
monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, dense black smoke and soot.
5. The formation of hydrocarbons, aldehydes or ketones is possible in the initial stages of a fire(particularly in between 400 oC and 700 oC).
