INITIAL REVIEW ENGINEERING REPORT 

PMN: 13-0232

Focus Ready Draft 2/11/2013

ENGINEER: Jon \ AH

PV (kg/yr): 205,555 NX

SUBMITTER: H.B.Fuller Company

MSDS: Yes Label: No

Gen Eqpt: Wear safety glasses with side shields when

handling this product. Wear additional eye protection

such as chemical splash goggles and/or face shield when

the possibility exists for eye contact with splashing or

spraying liquid, or airborne material. Have an eye wash

station available. Avoid skin contact by wearing

chemically resistant gloves (nitrile). When material is

heated, wear thermally insulating gloves to protect

against thermal burns.

Respirator: Use a respirator if general room ventilation

is not available or sufficient to eliminate symptoms. Use

supplied-air respiratory equipment as required.

Health Effects: Moderate eye irritant. Can cause skin

irritation. Contact with molten product will cause

thermal burns. May cause allergic skin reaction.

Moderate respiratory tract irritant. Vapors/fumes may be

irritating at application temperatures. May cause an

allergic respiratory reaction. Harmful if swallowed.

TLV/PEL:

Not established for the PMN.

PMN: 13-0232

Manufacturing

Number of Sites/ Location: 1

H.B. Fuller Company Grand Rapids MI 49544-1198

Days/yr: 32

Basis: Per submission: 1 site, 6363 kg PMN/bt, 12 hr/bt,

and 7 bt/yr. To scale-up to the maximum 12-month PV, CEB

assumes 6363 kg/bt and calculates 32 bt/site-yr. CEB

assesses the entire PV as domestically manufactured.

ENVIRONMENTAL RELEASES ESTIMATE SUMMARY

Releases are below the threshold and not assessed. No

releases to water and negl. migration to groudnwater per

SAT. Incineration release << 28,000 kg/site-day and 698,

000 kg/site-yr. Air release << 0.54 kg/site-day. PMN is

a molten solid and dust generation is expected to be

negligible.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURES ESTIMATE SUMMARY

Tot. # of workers exposed via assessed routes: 6

Basis: Submission estimates 6 workers involved in MFG

operation.

Inhalation:

negligible (VP < 0.001 torr). PMN is a molten solid;

therefore, inhalation exposure to particulates is not

expected.

Dermal:

PMN is a molten solid. Dermal exposure to the PMN

material in molten state at high temperature is expected

to be mitigated through engineering controls and PPE.

However, there is potential for exposure to the PMN in

solidified form.

Exposure to Solid at 90.44% concentration

High End: 2.8E+3 mg/day over 32 days/yr

Number of workers (all sites) with dermal exposure: 6

PMN: 13-0232

Use: 

Number of Sites/ Location: 2

Brightwood Corporation Madras OR

Lexington Manufacturing Coon rapids MN

Days/yr: 260

Basis: Per submission: 2 known customer sites, 260

exposure day/yr, and 90.44% PMN in adhesive. CEB

calculates a PMN use rate of 395.3 kg/site-day.

ENVIRONMENTAL RELEASES ESTIMATE SUMMARY

Submission states residual adhesive is cured to a solid

then landfilled. Releases are below the threshold and not

assessed. No releases to water and negl. migration to

groudnwater per SAT. Incineration release << 28,000

kg/site-day and 698,000 kg/site-yr. Air release << 0.54

kg/site-day. PMN is a molten solid and dust generation

is expected to be negligible.
