Eye Contact: Rinse eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes; remove contact lenses if easy to do
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water; get medical help if irritation persists
Ingestion: Rinse mouth; do not induce vomiting; consult a physician
Thermal Burns: For hot material, cool area quickly with water; do not remove material stuck to skin; get emergency care
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam
Unsuitable Media: Direct water stream may scatter burning material
Specific Hazards: Burning produces carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, soot, hydrogen halides, and small amounts of other toxic gases
Protective Equipment: Full protective gear and self-contained breathing apparatus
Firefighting Procedures: Evacuate area, stay upwind, cool containers with water from a safe distance
Personal Precautions: Wear protective clothing, gloves, and eye protection to avoid contact
Environmental Precautions: Avoid spill entering drains or waterways
Cleanup Methods: Sweep or vacuum material into suitable containers; minimize dust; dispose of in accordance with regulations
Disposal Materials: Use approved containers; mark clearly
Handling: Use proper ventilation, avoid breathing dust and fumes, minimize generation of airborne particles during transferring or mixing
Storage Conditions: Keep material in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from heat sources, open flames, and direct sunlight
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents; keep away from food and drink
Other Precautions: Prevent buildup of dust; regular cleaning of work areas limits exposure
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation at processing sites
Respiratory Protection: NIOSH/MSHA approved dust masks if particles become airborne; use air-purifying respirators around heated operations
Eye / Face Protection: Safety glasses with side shields; goggles for heavy dust
Skin Protection: Chemical-resistant gloves, long sleeves, aprons
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands thoroughly after handling and before eating, drinking, or smoking; wash contaminated clothing before reuse
Appearance: Opaque to translucent pellets or granules, color varies
Odor: Mild plastic odor
Melting Point: Approximately 130-170°C
Boiling Point: Not applicable (solid polymer)
Flash Point: >330°C (product is not classified as flammable but combustible at high temperatures)
Density: 1.1–1.3 g/cm³
Solubility in Water: Insoluble
Explosive Properties: Not explosive
Other Properties: Negligible vapor pressure; relatively inert under normal conditions; may retain static charge
Chemical Stability: Stable at normal temperatures and storage conditions
Reactivity: Not reactive under standard handling
Possibility of Hazardous Reactions: No dangerous reactions reported under routine use
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, open flame, strong oxidizers
Decomposition Products: Combustion produces carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, smoke, hydrogen halides, trace organic compounds
Acute Toxicity: Low toxicity for polypropylene and glass fiber under typical exposure; main risks come from inhaling dust or thermal fumes
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Prolonged or repeated contact may cause irritation
Respiratory Sensitization: Dust and fumes may irritate respiratory tract
Chronic Effects: Repeated exposure to glass fiber may cause mechanical irritation; flame retardants may have additional risks based on specific compound used
Carcinogenicity: Polypropylene and glass fiber are not listed as carcinogenic; some flame retardant substances under ongoing assessment
Other Information: Good industrial hygiene minimizes risks
Ecotoxicity: Product is not classified as toxic to aquatic life; polypropylene is persistent and may cause physical harm to wildlife if released in large quantities
Persistence/Degradability: Slow degradation in the environment; glass fiber and polypropylene resist natural breakdown
Bioaccumulation: Product has low potential for bioaccumulation
Mobility in Soil: Practically immobile in solid form; may fragment over time
Other Adverse Effects: Good practice calls for limiting environmental release
Waste Disposal Methods: Dispose of in compliance with national, local, and regional regulations; recycling is possible depending on facility capability and product history
Waste Code: Non-hazardous solid waste in many regions
Contaminated Packaging: Clean containers for recycling; otherwise dispose of as non-hazardous material
Environmental Precautions: Prevent material from entering soil, waterways, or drains
Recommended Disposal: Thermal recovery or landfilling in approved sites
