Fine dust, due to some working process, may cause irritation of respiratory
system and mucous.
If heated to more than 160°C /thermoforming process, welding etc.) the
product may form vapours or fumes which may cause irritation of
respiratory tract and cause coughing and sensation of shortness of breath.
In contact with hot material (thermoforming process, welding etc.) it may
cause severe thermal burns.
Contact with chines, edges, and the continuous rubbing contact could
cause wounds or abrasions to the skin.
Fine dust, due to cutting process, may cause irritation of eyes mucous.
Whilst cutting, this material could show fragile cutting and material’s
splinters could hit eyes.
Polyolefines are considered as biologically inert.

For more extensive fires: foam; water spray (mist) to cool the surfaces
exposed to the fire.
Do not use water jets (stick jets) for exstinguishing fire, since they could
help to spread the flames.
During combustion, in presence of an excess of air, it developes: carbon
dioxide (CO2) and water vapour.
Partial combustion forms also: carbon monoxide (CO), soot and cracked
products: aldehydes, ketones, acetone, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde,
acrolein, hydrocarbons and volatile fatty acids.
In case of risk of exposure to vapour or fumes wear suitable breathing
equipment.
6. Accidental release measures
Refer to points 8 and 13
After spillage / leakage
On soil
Collect from the floor and clean using protective gloves to avoid skin cuts,
see point 8.
Sheets spread on the floor cause risk of slippering.
7. Handling and storage
Sheets handling
Cut offs and dust transport
(Process residuals)
Storage
During manual handling please mind chines and sharp edges; avoid to rub
continuously the skin towards the edges: wear suitable hand protection
before handling.
In high speed automatic machines, take care that all the components are
electrically earthed, so as to avoid accumulation of static load which could
create sparkes and/or spread the static load on nearest personnel.
All pneumatic transport equipment must be electrically earthed; do not
accumulate dusts; install suitable filters in the transportation circuit.
Store at ambient temperature and at atmospheric pressure;
Do not store near highly flammable materials;
Store away from heating source or flames; store in dry, well ventilated
area.
The material has to be protected from direct sunlight exposition and or
other sources of radiation.
Evaluate the maximum storage height on the basis of the pallet stability
(consider width, barycentre, surface etc. )

Wear protective goggles whilst doing cutting operations.
Wear protective gloves to avoid mechanical skin cuts and wounds.
Other than wearing clean clothes, covering all body parts coming into
contact with sharp edges, no other protection should be necessary.
Whenever a risk of exposition to dust, vapours or fumes occurs (during
operations such as thermoforming, welding, cut causing dust formation), it
is advisable to install an vacuuming system so as that the working
environment is properly ventilated.

It is recommended not to heat at temperatures higher than 300°C;
Avoid proximity or contact with flames or sparks;
Avoid contact with strong oxidizing materials and fluorine.
Strong oxidizing materials and fluorine.
Decomposition products development depends on temperature, oxygen
availability and presence of other substances. During burning process
fumes or other decomposition products may develop. When temperatures
overtakes the melting point, parts of the polymer can be released, and
fumes may become irritant. Decomposition products may include, and not
be limited to: aldehydes, ketones, acetone, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde,
acrolein, hydrocarbons and volatile fatty acids.

11. Toxicological information
Acute Toxicity
Ingestion
Eye contact
Skin contact
Skin absorption
Inhalation
Repeated contact toxicity
Polyolefins are biologically inert
As regard toxicity, because of its composition, the product should be
considered as practically not harmful and dangerous effects are not
expected to be observed if swallowed in small quantities. If swallowed in
larger quantities it may cause occlusion (LD50-extimated –rat- >
5000mg/Kg). Danger of mucous cutting in case of sharp splinters
ingestion.
The solid product and/or its dusts may cause irritation or even severe
wounds per mechanical action. High temperatures might generate vapours
in quantities sufficient to cause irritation to the eyes. Side effect may
include discomfort and reddening.
The product is not irritant to the skin even in case of prolonged contact.
Only mechanical wounds should be considered as a risk.
Because of its composition dangerous effects in case of absorption
throughout the skin are not expected to be observed. LD (Estimated) rabbit
>2000mg/Kg.
Vapours, fumes, developed during thermical treatments, and dust,
whenever developed during operations, could cause irritation of the
respiratory system.
Additives are incapsulated into the product in a way that it can be
excluded their release in normal processing condition or foreseeable
emergency situations.
