SECTION 3: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Odorless, white, solid tape. As sold, this product presents no known health hazards. At temperatures above
535 degrees F, this polymer will break down and the fumes could cause a temporary “flu-like” illness. No
smoking while handling this material.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
EYE: No harmful effects anticipated for product as sold.
SKIN CONTACT: No harmful effects anticipated for product as sold.
SKIN ABSORPTION: Skin absorption is unlikely due to physical properties of product.
INGESTION: No harmful effects anticipated for product as sold. LD50 (PTFE resin):

1250 mg/kg in rats.
INHALATION: Inhalation is unlikely due to physical properties of product.
CHRONIC EFFECTS/CARCINOGENICITY:
PTFE is not listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA, or ACGIH as a carcinogen. No significant adverse effects
anticipated. Repeated oral doses of the polymer resin yielded no toxic effects except for alteration in the
number of circulating white blood cells after long-term dosing. Testing demonstrated no developmental
toxicity in animals, and no genetic damage in animals or in bacterial cell cultures. (1)
SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION: Unlikely route of entry for product as sold. If exposed to fumes from overheating or
combustion, move to fresh air. Consult a physician if symptoms persist.
SKIN CONTACT: This product is not likely to be hazardous by skin contact, but if redness or itching
develops, then cleansing the skin with water after use is advisable.
EYE: Unlikely route of entry for product as sold. If mechanical irritation occurs flush eyes with plenty of
water. Consult physician if symptoms persist.
INGESTION: Unlikely route of entry for product as sold. Consult physician if necessary.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: Inhaling fumes of decomposition products can induce temporary influenza-like
symptoms which are described as “polymer fume fever”. These symptoms include fever, cough and
malaise.
SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT: Does not flash
AUTO-IGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not available
METHOD: Open cup
FLAMMABILITY LIMITS: Not applicable
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water, foam, dry chemical or CO2
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: PTFE will burn in an atmosphere of 95% oxygen when an ignition
source is present. Hazardous gases/vapors produced in a fire are hydrogen fluoride (HF), carbonyl fluoride,
perfluoroolefins, and carbon monoxide and low molecular weight fluorocarbons.
FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear full protective equipment.
Protect from hydrogen fluoride fumes, which react with water to form hydrofluoric acid. Wear neoprene
gloves when handling refuse from a wire involving PTFE.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Sweep to avoid slipping hazard.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
PRODUCT: COGNIDENT-NOVADENT TAPETRIX ADHESIVE & PTFE TAPE

Hazardous Decomposition Products:
Particulate matter:
Stable at normal temperatures and storage conditions.
Will not occur.
Reacts with molten alkali metals and interhalogen compounds.
Above 535 degrees F, this product may evolve toxic gaseous
materials such as hydrogen fluoride, carbonyl fluoride and
perfluoroolefins.
Evolved from overheating may cause polymer fume fever.
OTHER INFORMATION:
Waste Disposal:
Discarded product is not a hazardous waste under RCRA, 40 CFR 261.
Preferred options for disposal are recycling and landfill. Incinerate only if
incinerator is capable of scrubbing out hydrogen fluoride and other acidic
combustion products. Treatment, storage, transportation, and disposal must be
accordance with applicable federal, state and local regulations.
