4. First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air; medical attention if symptoms occur
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water; remove contaminated clothing; seek medical care for persistent irritation
Eye Contact: Rinse with water for several minutes; consult an eye specialist if irritation remains
Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly; drink water; consult physician if symptoms develop
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically, based on patient’s reaction
Special Instructions: Burns from hot material require emergency care; do not attempt to physically remove cooled material

5. Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Media: Direct water stream may scatter molten material
Hazards During Fire: Combustion produces carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, silicon oxides, hydrocarbons
Protective Equipment: Firefighters need self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Specific Hazards: Fumes from molten product can irritate respiratory tract
Fire-fighting Instructions: Cool exposed containers with spray, prevent runoff into waterways

6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Avoid creating airborne dust; wear gloves and goggles
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, sewers, surface and ground water
Methods for Cleaning Up: Sweep up without generating dust; collect in suitable containers for reuse or disposal
Procedures for Spills: Isolate the area, ventilate, avoid inhaling dust, clean spill area thoroughly
Small Spills: Manual clean-up with minimal disturbance
Large Spills: Use approved vacuum with HEPA filtration; do not use water jet

7. Handling and Storage

Safe Handling Advice: Use only in well-ventilated areas; avoid formation of dust, keep away from ignition sources
Hygiene Practices: Wash hands before eating, smoking, or using the restroom
Storage Conditions: Store in original packaging, indoors, away from direct sunlight and moisture
Temperature Range: Keep between 5°C and 30°C; avoid freezing or overheating
Incompatible Materials: Oxidizing agents, acids, flame/heat
Specific Requirements: Keep containers tightly closed when not in use, stack according to manufacturer instructions
Storage Life: Refer to manufacturer's shelf life or best-by date

8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: No established limits for copolymer; treat as nuisance dust (10 mg/m³ total, 3 mg/m³ respirable)
Engineering Controls: Use natural or mechanical ventilation; dust extraction for large scale work
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety glasses or goggles, gloves resistant to chemicals/thermal burns, protective clothing, respiratory protection if dust generated
Respiratory Protection: Use NIOSH-approved dust mask if airborne concentration expected
Hand Protection: Industrial-grade, chemical-resistant gloves
Eye Protection: Splash-proof safety glasses or face shield for molten material
Skin Protection: Wear long-sleeved, flame-resistant protective clothing
