Ingestion: Unlikely route, rinse mouth out and seek medical advice if symptoms occur
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Media: None known for cable itself
Hazardous Combustion Products: Release of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, water vapor, small quantities of organic decomposition byproducts
Protection for Firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Fire Fighting Instructions: Apply cooling water to exposed surfaces to reduce smoke and slow fire spread, keep run-off water collected
Flash Point: Above typical ambient temperatures, cable does not ignite easily
Explosion Risk: None under normal use or transport
Personal Protection: Gloves, goggles, and dust mask if fragmented material is present
Methods for Containment: Collect solid fragments and dust by sweeping or vacuuming
Cleanup Procedures: Place waste material in suitable container for recycling or disposal, ventilate area if there is significant dust
Environmental Precautions: Avoid discharge to waterways, most components have low environmental mobility
Precautions for Safe Handling: Minimize dust generation and accumulation, always handle with gloves to avoid skin irritation
Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong oxidizers, stacking to be stable and secure
Specific Uses: Apply as supplied for electrical installations, avoid overheating or open flames during installation
Packing Materials: Store in original reels, drums, or pallets to prevent physical damage
Exposure Limits: No specific exposure limits for base compound components under normal workplace conditions
Ventilation: Sufficient local ventilation during cutting or stripping operations
Personal Protective Equipment: Gloves for handling, eye protection for mechanical operations, dust mask for cutting
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after handling, avoid eating in working areas
Monitoring: Routine workplace air quality checks in dusty environments
Appearance: Typically solid, flexible, and colored according to service use
Odor: Mild waxy or neutral
Melting Point: 80°C to 130°C depending on polymer
Density: 1.3 – 1.6 g/cm³
Solubility: Insoluble in water, not intended for use in solvents
pH: Not relevant for solid product
Boiling Point: Not applicable
Flash Point: > 300°C

Chemical Stability: Stable at ambient temperatures and pressure in storage or use
Conditions to Avoid: Prolonged heat above melting point, exposure to open flame or strong oxidizers
Materials to Avoid: Strong acids, strong oxidizing agents
Hazardous Decomposition: Produces carbon oxides, water, traces of hydrocarbons under combustion
Polymerization: Not relevant for finished cable products
Acute Toxicity: Very low for finished cable
Chronic Effects: No evidence of chronic health risks from cable exposure
Irritation: Mechanical dust may cause mild eye or respiratory irritation
Sensitization: No reports of skin sensitization in standard industrial exposure
Mutagenicity / Carcinogenicity: Key ingredients not classified as mutagenic or carcinogenic under REACH or OSHA
Inhalation: Fumes from over-heating may cause temporary irritation
Toxicity to Water Life: Low aquatic toxicity for primary components
Persistence: Not readily biodegradable, largely inert
Bioaccumulation: No significant risk due to low solubility
Mobility: Moves little in soil, tends to remain where deposited
Decomposition Products: Inert material in landfill situations, will slowly break down through physical or thermal action
Waste Handling: Collect and reuse or recycle cable whenever possible
Landfill Disposal: Acceptable, as material is not classified as hazardous waste
Incineration: Energy recovery incinerators suitable, but must control smoke and emissions
Safe Disposal Codes: Refer to local or national legislation for plastics
Packaging Disposal: Recycle cardboard, reels, or drums whenever possible
UN Number: Not regulated for land, sea, or air transport
Transport Hazard Class: Not classed as dangerous goods
Packaging Requirements: Standard palletization or reel transport, secure loads to avoid shifting
