SECTION 2: Hazard identification
2.1

Classification of the substance or mixtureThis material is not classified as hazardous according to OSHA Hazard Communication
Standard 29 CFR 1910.1200.

2.2

GHS label elements, including precautionary statements

Not a hazardous substance or mixture.

2.3

Other hazards which do not result in classification

The material is a mixture of components that are encapsulated in polymer which minimizes
the potential risk for exposure. During normal processing some vapors may be released, so
the end-user should take necessary precaution (adequate ventilation) to protect employees
from exposure. The product has not been tested for whole for health effects, but the exposure
effects are based on the existing data for the identified components.

SECTION 3: Composition/information on ingredients
3.2

Mixtures1.

Compatibilizer

Concentration 0.1 - 2.0 % (Weight) CAS No.: Trade Secret

2.

Cellulose Fiber

Concentration 98.1 - 99.9 % (Weight) CAS No. 9004-34-6 (Cellulose)

SECTION 4: First-aid measures
4.1

Description of necessary first-aid measures

General advice - If medical attention is sought, show this safety data sheet to the doctor inattendance. Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically.
If inhaled - Move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.

Consult a physician.
In case of skin contact - Remove dusty or contaminated clothing. Wash with soap and water
as a precaution. If symptoms persist, consult a physician.
In case of eye contact - Resin particles, like other inert materials, may be mechanicallyirritating to eyes. Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water. If symptoms persist, consult aphysician.
If swallowed - Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth withwater. Consult a physician.
Personal protective equipment for first-aid responders - Wear gloves and avoid inhalation ofrespirable dust.

4.2

Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

Eye/skin contact with hot, or molten material may cause injury, including possible
blindness/thermal burns. Ingestion may produce mild gastrointestinal irritation anddisturbances.

4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment
needed, if necessary
Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the condition ofthe patient.

SECTION 5: Fire-fighting measures
5.1

Suitable extinguishing media

Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Avoid high pressure,direct water stream that may spread molten or burning resins.

5.2

Specific hazards arising from the chemical

Upon high heating, this material may emit various oligomers, waxes, oxygenatedhydrocarbons, carbon oxides, and other organic vapors. Inhalation of these decomposition
products may be hazardous.

5.3

Special protective actions for fire-fighters

In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting.

SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
6.1
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency
procedures
Use personal protective equipment. Avoid breathing dust, vapors, mist, or gas. Ensure
adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. For personal protection see section 8.

6.2

Environmental precautions

Do not let product enter sewers and drains. Prevent further spillage if safe to do so. Discharge
into the environment should be avoided.

6.3

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

Contain spill. Prevent entry into sewers and drains, underground or confined spaces, water
intakes and waterways. Spilled product may create a slipping hazard.

Reference to other sections
For disposal see section 13.

SECTION 7: Handling and storage
7.1

Precautions for safe handling

Handle in properly designated containers or systems. Avoid contact with eyes or inhalation ofdusts.

7.2

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated storage area (ideally a designatedstorage area.

Specific end use(s)Apart from the uses mentioned in section 1.3 no other specific uses are stipulated.

SECTION 8: Exposure controls/personal protection
8.1

Control parameters

No specific controls parameters are available. Adequate ventilation is recommended during
processing.

8.2

Appropriate engineering controls

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices. Wash hands before
breaks and at the end of workday.

8.3 Individual protection measures, such as personal protective
equipment (PPE) Eye/face protection
Use eye protection which has been tested and approved under appropriate government
standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).

Skin protection
Handle with gloves. Gloves should be inspected prior to use. Wash and dry hands after use.

Body protection
Wear protective clothing (such as long-sleeved shirts and long pants) whenever moltenmaterial is present. Safety footwear with good traction is recommended to help prevent
slipping.

Respiratory protection
If excess dust is present air-purifying respirators may be appropriate. If respirator is the solemeans of protection, use a full-face particle respirator type N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143)
respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls.

Thermal hazards
Use appropriate personal protective equipment when processing this material. Moltenmaterial may cause burns.

Environmental exposure controls
Prevent leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
