Manufacturer: JP Chemical Industries
Address: 1600 Crescent Drive, Midwest City, USA
Emergency Contact: CHEMTREC 1-800-424-9300
Recommended Use: Industrial plastics manufacturing, packaging solutions, construction components, consumer product casings
Restrictions on Use: Not for medical or food-contact applications, not intended for direct flame exposure
Classification: Not classified as hazardous under GHS guidelines for normal handling, can pose risk as a fine dust
Label Elements: No pictogram required, precautionary statements on process hazards
Potential Health Effects: Slight irritation possible if dust contacts eyes, respiratory tract may respond to prolonged dust exposure, molten material causes skin burns
Environmental Hazards: Large spills may disrupt natural habitats, physical barrier over soil or water prevents oxygen exchange
Physical Hazards: Combustible at high temperatures, molten plastic can stick to skin or clothing and cause severe burns
Main Ingredient: Polypropylene homopolymer (CAS No. 9003-07-0) > 96%
Additives: Antioxidants < 1%, stabilizers < 2%, processing aids < 1%
Impurities: Trace residual monomers, dust-generating fillers below 0.5%
Ingredient Disclosure: No regulated carcinogens, no hazardous decomposition components in cured product
Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air, rinse nasal passages with water, seek medical attention if persistent cough or shortness of breath occurs after dust exposure
Skin Contact: For hot plastic burns, quickly immerse in cool water, do not remove solidified material stuck to skin, seek medical care immediately
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes with flowing water for at least 15 minutes, hold eyelids open, remove contact lenses, seek medical help if irritation does not subside
Ingestion: Material is not likely to be swallowed intentionally, if small amount ingested, rinse mouth, drink water, avoid vomiting
Notes for Physician: Treat burns as thermal injuries, monitor for particulate inhalation complications
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, sand for smothering molten spills
Specific Hazards: Burns with dense black smoke; thermal decomposition releases carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons
Protective Equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus, full protective gear, cool drums or containers with water jets if exposed to fire
Firefighting Advice: Keep run-off from entering drains and water supplies, monitor for hot plastic flow on floors
Personal Precautions: Wear dust mask, goggles, gloves when handling spilled pellets or powder, minimize airborne dust
Methods for Clean-Up: Sweep or vacuum solid material, place in recovery containers, wash area with water if safe, avoid slip hazards
Environmental Precautions: Stop material from reaching drains or surface water, collect spilled pellets to prevent wildlife ingestion
Safe Handling: Keep away from open flames, sparks, static discharge, do not breathe dust, avoid working with molten polymer in closed spaces
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated spaces, keep sealed to avoid contamination, stack bags or containers securely, avoid high humidity
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizing agents, high-heat sources, avoid storage with chemicals that attack hydrocarbons
Occupational Exposure Limits: No OSHA PEL for polypropylene, ACGIH recommends dust control below 10 mg/m³ (total)
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation for processes raising dust, provide mechanical ventilation in melt processing
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety glasses with side shields, heat-resistant gloves if working with hot polymer, long sleeves, dust mask or respirator if dust level increases
Appearance: White or slightly translucent pellets, light powder for specific grades
Odor: Odorless, mild paraffinic scent on heating
Melting Point: 160 – 170 °C
Boiling Point: Not applicable (polymeric solid)
Flash Point: > 330 °C (COC method)
Auto-Ignition Temperature: > 350 °C
Density: 0.89 – 0.92 g/cm³
Solubility: Insoluble in water
pH: Not applicable
Evaporation Rate: Not applicable
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal temperatures and pressures
Conditions to Avoid: High heat, open flame, strong sunlight, static discharge
Materials to Avoid: Concentrated acids, strong oxidizers, halogens
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, low molecular weight hydrocarbons, soot and aldehydes formed during incomplete combustion
Possibility of Hazardous Reactions: No dangerous polymerization under standard processing
Acute Toxicity: Not acutely toxic by oral, dermal or inhalation exposure, dust may cause mechanical irritation
Chronic Effects: Not a known carcinogen, no data suggesting reproductive toxicity
Sensitization: Not a skin sensitizer in commercial experience
Symptom Information: Eye redness, mild respiratory discomfort possible if dust concentration high
Medical Conditions Aggravated: Pre-existing eye or lung conditions, asthma may worsen after repeated exposure to fine dust
Ecotoxicity: Not acutely harmful, physical presence in aquatic or soil environments may interfere with organisms
Persistence and Degradability: Very slow to degrade, long persistence in soil and water
Bioaccumulation Potential: Low, polymer not expected to bioaccumulate in aquatic species
Mobility in Soil: Pellets remain in soil until removed, very little migration
Other Effects: May contribute to microplastic contamination if not controlled at end of life
Product Disposal: Can be recycled where facilities exist, otherwise landfilled in accordance with local laws, incineration possible under controlled conditions
Contaminated Packaging: Empty bags recyclable after shaking out residues, do not reuse containers for food storage or animal feed
Legal Requirements: Observe all federal, state, and local regulations for plastic waste and industrial refuse
UN Number: Not regulated
Transport Hazard Class: Not classified as dangerous goods
Packing Group: Not assigned
Special Precautions: Protect from heat, do not stack heavy containers in ways that risk collapse, secure properly to avoid movement and spillage
Global Inventory: Listed on TSCA, EINECS, DSL, AICS, ENCS inventory lists
OSHA Status: Not regulated as hazardous substance, dust management still required
SARA Title III: No reportable components
California Prop 65: Not listed
Other Standards: Follows applicable workplace, workplace air, and environmental safety guidelines for general plastics
