Hazard
       EMERGENCY OVERVIEW       
Low hazard for usual industrial or commercial handling. Pellets may
present a slipping hazard. Burning or thermal decomposition may
produce toxic vapors that may cause discomfort to the eyes, skin, and
respiratory tract. Skin contact with molten material will cause burns.
ROUTES OF ENTRY: Inhalation, eye contact, skin contact
INHALATION: Inhalation of airborne particulate may lead to mechanical irritation of
the respiratory tract and mucous membranes. Vapors and fumes from molten or
burning polyethylene may cause respiratory irritation, headache or nausea.
SKIN CONTACT: Mechanical irritation or abrasion from pellets or powder. Molten
material will cause skin burns and may adhere strongly to the skin. Not expected to
be a skin absorption hazard.
EYE CONTACT: Contact with particulate may cause mechanical irritation or tearing.
Vapors and fumes from burning material may cause irritation.
INGESTION: Not a likely route of entry. Not expected to be toxic by ingestion.
CARCINOGENICITY:
NTP: Not listed
IARC: Group 3: Not classifiable as to
carcinogenicity to humans (polypropylene)
OSHA: Not listed
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:
Conjunctivitis of the eye, dermatitis of the skin, asthma, and respiratory diseases.
4.
FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION: If irritation occurs, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. Seek medical attention if symptoms or irritation persist.

SKIN: Wash thoroughly with soap and water consistent with good hygiene practice. If
contact with molten product occurs, flush with large volumes of cold water. If molten
material adheres to the skin, do not attempt to remove. Cool quickly with water and
obtain medical attention.
EYE: Immediately flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes,
carefully lifting eyelid to expose the eye to contact with the water. Remove contact
lens, if present, and repeat flush. For contact with molten material, treat as for skin
burns. If any symptoms or irritation persist, contact a physician.
INGESTION: Not expected to be toxic by ingestion. Do not induce vomiting; give
large quantities of water or milk. If any symptoms or irritation persist, contact a
physician.

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT: N/A
AUTO IGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not established
FLAMMABLE LIMITS: N/A
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide,
oxides of nitrogen, and organic chemicals such as methane, ethane, acrolein,
organic acids, alcohols, ketones and aldehydes. The smoke may contain polymer
fragments or toxic and/or irritating chemicals depending on combustion conditions.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD: When heated to decomposition, may emit toxic
vapors and fumes. An electrostatic charge can potentially build up when pouring
pellets. Grounding of equipment is recommended.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, or water spray.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Material will not burn unless pre-heated.
Use water to cool fire exposed containers. Use self-contained breathing apparatus to
avoid exposure to the products of combustion.
6.
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES:
SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES: Pellets present slipping hazard on hard surfaces.
Molten material presents a burn hazard. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment. Scoop or sweep up pellets or collect with vacuum equipment. Avoid
generating dust. Dispose of in accordance with applicable federal, state/provincial,
and local regulations. If material enters a sewer or waterway, notify responsible
authorities.
7.
HANDLING AND STORAGE:
February 6, 2016
Page 3 of 7
Anderson Saucers MDS – 2015 - Denton Plastics MSDS for Polypropylene
HANDLING AND STORAGE PRECAUTIONS: Fixed equipment, as well as transfer
containers and equipment, should be grounded to prevent accumulation of static
charge. Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, strong oxidizing
agents, and ignition sources.
8.
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION:
EYE PROTECTION: Use goggles (ANSI Z87.1) if generating dust. Wear chemical
splash goggles and face shield when possibility exists for eye and face contact due
to splashing or spraying of molten material.
SKIN PROTECTION: None normally required other than that for personal hygiene.
To reduce exposure, work clothing should be left at the workplace. If there is potential
for contact with hot/molten material, wear heat-resistant clothing and footwear.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Not normally needed. A NIOSH/MSHA-approved
air-purifying respirator with dust/mist filters or organic vapor cartridges/canisters
should be used when airborne particulate or vapor concentrations are expected to
exceed exposure limits. Use a positive pressure air-supplied respirator if there is any
potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or other
circumstances exist where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate
protection.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control
airborne levels under normal conditions. If user operations generate dust, fumes,
vapors or mist, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other
engineering controls to control airborne levels below recommended exposure limits.
