Spill Response: Sweep or vacuum spilled pellets/granules, avoid generating dust
Environmental Protection: Prevent spilled granules from entering drains, sewers, watercourses
Cleanup Methods: Collect for reuse or disposal, ventilate area during cleanup, wash area with water after removal
Emergency Procedures: No special measures, but maintain good housekeeping to reduce slip and fall risks
Handling: Use local exhaust or general ventilation during high-temperature processing, use proper lifting techniques for bags or drums, avoid eating or smoking in work area
Minimize Dust: Minimize creation of dust and accumulation on surfaces
Avoid Heat: Store away from sources of heat or ignition
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, keep containers sealed or covered to prevent moisture uptake
Packaging: Keep in original packaging, label all containers
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizers, acids, bases; keep away from food and animal feedstuffs
Fire Precautions: Keep away from open flame and static electricity, ground equipment during transfer
Exposure Limits: No specific OSHA or ACGIH exposure limits for filled polypropylene, but observe TLVs for any mineral fillers or additives
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation during cutting, grinding, or high-heat processing
Respiratory Protection: Dust mask or respirator if airborne particles or fumes exceed acceptable levels
Eye Protection: Safety glasses or goggles
Skin Protection: Gloves resistant to thermal hazards during processing, long sleeves, closed shoes

Reactivity: Not reactive with most substances
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, open flames, prolonged UV exposure
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents, strong acids
Decomposition Products: Under fire conditions: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, smoke, possible toxic gases depending on flame retardant system
Polymerization: Will not occur
Acute Toxicity: Not expected to be harmful by ingestion, skin, or inhalation in solid form
Skin Irritation: Low risk; molten material may cause severe burns
Eye Irritation: Dust or fumes may cause irritation
Respiratory Effects: Inhalation of dust/fume can irritate respiratory system
Sensitization: Not known to cause sensitization
Chronic Effects: No chronic toxicity reported from polypropylene in solid form
Ingredients of Concern: Check safety profile of specific flame retardant additives (some may have occupational exposure limits or require special precautions during processing)
Ecotoxicity: Not toxic to aquatic or terrestrial life in solid pellet form, limited bioavailability
Persistence/Degradability: Polypropylene degrades slowly in the environment, additives may break down to various byproducts
Bioaccumulation Potential: Not expected to bioaccumulate
Mobility in Soil: Insoluble, sinks and remains in soil or sediment
Aquatic Effects: Pellets can pose mechanical risks to aquatic organisms if ingested
