E)XonMobil <br />Product Name: GENERAL HOMOPOLYMER AND COPOLYMER POLYPROPYLENE <br />Revision Date: 20 Sep 2019 <br />Page 6 of 13 <br />Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. For Large Spills: Cover spill with plastic <br />sheet or tarpaulin to minimize spreading. <br />SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE <br />HANDLING <br />Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Routine housekeeping should be instituted to ensure that dusts <br />do not accumulate on surfaces. Dust from material can accumulate electrostatic charges due to friction from <br />transfer and mixing operations and cause an electrical spark (ignition source). Provide adequate precautions <br />to ignition sources, such as electrical grounding and bonding, inert atmosphere or non-sparking tools. However, <br />bonding and grounds may not eliminate the hazard for static accumulation. Consult local applicable standards <br />for guidance. Refer to NFPA 654, Standard for the Prevention of Fire and Dust Explosions from the <br />Manufacturing, Processing, and Handling of Combustible Particulate Solids and EN 61241, Electrical Apparatus <br />for Use in the Presence of Combustible Dust for safe handling. Avoid elevated temperatures for prolonged <br />periods of time. Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). <br />Prevent small spills and leakage to avoid slip hazard. Care should be taken when storing and handling this <br />product. Apart from the specific nature of the polymer product, conditions such as humidity, sunlight, and <br />temperature have an influence on the way the product behaves during storage and handling. Special attention <br />should be paid to avoid inappropriate stacking of palletized bags or other package units. Indeed, polymer <br />products may be dimensionally unstable under certain conditions. Avoid conditions generating heat during <br />transfer operations. <br />Loading/Unloading Temperature: [Ambient] <br />Transport Temperature: [Ambient] <br />Transport Pressure: [Ambient] <br />Static Accumulator: This material is a static accumulator. <br />STORAGE <br />The type of container used to store the material may affect static accumulation and dissipation. <br />Storage Temperature: [Ambient] <br />Storage Pressure: [Ambient] <br />Suitable Containers/Packing: Bulk Containers; Drums; Bags; Hopper Cars; Octatainer; Silos <br />Suitable Materials and Coatings (Chemical Compatibility): Polyethylene; Aluminum <br />SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION <br />Exposure limits/standards for materials that can be formed when handling this product: For dusty conditions, <br />OSHA recommends for particulates not otherwise regulated an 8-hour TWA of 15 mg/m3 (total dust), 5 mg/m3 <br />(respirable fraction); ACGIH recommends for insoluble and poorly soluble particles not otherwise specified an 8-hour <br />TWA of 10 mg/m3 (inhalable particles), 3 mg/m3 (respirable particles). <br />NOTE: Limits/standards shown for guidance only. Follow applicable regulations.
