Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, phosphorus oxides, ammonia-like vapors may release under incomplete combustion
Protective Equipment: Firefighters wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full gear
Unusual Hazards: Molten polymer can cause severe burns
Personal Precautions: Use protective gloves, dust mask, goggles; avoid breathing dust
Environmental Precautions: Keep granules or powders out of drains and natural watercourses
Clean-Up Methods: Sweep or vacuum up material, shovel into suitable container for recycling or disposal, avoid raising dust, ventilate area
Handling: Operate with local exhaust or ventilation during processing. Avoid dust generation, wash hands after handling
Storage Conditions: Store in original packaging, cool, dry place, away from incompatible substances like strong oxidizers, keep containers tightly closed
Special Requirements: Protect against moisture and direct sunlight, stack bags properly to prevent shifting
Control Parameters: No specific workplace exposure limits for product, keep dust below 5 mg/m³ (inhalable)
Personal Protection: Wear protective gloves, long-sleeved clothing, safety goggles, and approved dust mask. Local exhaust recommended for dust control
Hygiene Measures: Do not eat, drink, or smoke during use. After shift, clean skin thoroughly
