Products of incomplete combustion include carbon monoxide and organic acids, aldehydes, and alcohols. In the event of a fire, personnel entering the area should use a fresh air supply. Various polyolefins, in film form, have been used for more than 25 years in fabrics, industrial applications, and food packaging. Because it is an inert material, the preferred method is burial in a properly operated landfill. However, any disposal procedure must comply with all local, state, and federal regulations.
Incineration is an alternate disposal procedure.
Carbon monoxide and low molecular weight aldehydes are believed to be the most hazardous fume components produced by incomplete combustion. For this reason, combustion of waste product is not recommended unless the oxygen supply can be maintained in amounts adequate for full combustion. Smoke produced under limited oxygen supply conditions should be considered toxic and should not be inhaled, as is also true for smoke produced from wood, paper, or other materials burned under similar poor combustion conditions. Spills Spills of any process material are a safety hazard. Spilled resin pellets can be very slippery underfoot and should be swept up immediately and disposed of properly.
