EXPLOSION. b REACTIVITY HAZARD DATA <br />Flash point: > 329°C (6250F) Setchkin Flammable limits: N/A <br />Autoignition temperature: > 343®C (650•F) Setchkin <br />Extinguishing media: Nater spray, dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, or halon <br />Special firefighting procedures: None , <br />Unusual fire and explosion hazards: None <br />Stability considerations: Stable <br />Incompatibility with: Avoid contact with hot or concentrated nitric and perchloric acids, fuming <br />sulfuric acid at 60•C (140®F) or above, and liquid chlorine. <br />Hazardous decomposition products: None <br />Hazardous products of combustion: Thermal decomposition begins at 250-300°C (482-572•F). While <br />combustion products depend on temperature and air supply, they can <br />be carbon monoxide, carboh dioxide, acrolein, formaldehyde, other <br />aldehydes, ketones, fatty acids, methane, ethane and acetylene. <br />Carbon monoxide is likely to be the most prominent. <br />Hazardous polymerization: Will not occur. <br />V. HEALTH HAZARD DATA <br />CAUTION! EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE DUSTS MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF THE EYE (PROBABLY MECHANICAL). <br />Sicns b svmotoms of overexposure in the workolace: <br />Eyes: None known; exposure to excessive dusts may cause (mechanical) irritation of the eye. <br />Skin: None known or expected. <br />Inhalation: None known or expected. <br />Ingestion: None known or expected. <br />EMERGENCY b FIRST AID PROCEDURES: <br />EYES: In case of irritating contact, immediately flush with plenty of low pressure water for at least <br />15 minutes. Remove any contact lenses to ensure thorough flushing. If irritation persists, <br />call a physician. <br />Medical conditions generally recoonized as being aggravated by exoosure: None known. <br />Primary Routes of Exposure/Entrv: Eye or skin contact (no absorption); inhalation of dusts. <br />Cancer Information: <br />Not listed as a carcinoeen by NTP (National Toxicology Program); not regulated as a carcinogen by <br />OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration); not evaluated by IARC (International Agency for <br />Research on Cancer). Intraperitoneal implants of polyethylene (PE) particles caused no tumors. <br />Other implant studies using solid PE have resulted in tumors consistant with changes seen with <br />similar solid materials such as glass. <br />Continued... <br />-12- <br />
