FIRST AID MEASURES If in eyes: If on skin: If inhaled: If swallowed: Wash contaminated clothing before re-use. If symptoms occur, remove to fresh air. Remove material from eyes, skin and clothing. If symptoms occur, remove to fresh air. Remove material from eyes, skin and clothing. A physician or Poison Control Center can be contacted for advice. A physician or Poison Control Center can be contacted for advice. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Extinguishing media: Hazardous products of combustion: Unusual fire and explosion hazards: Fire fighting equipment: Miscellaneous advice: Water spray, foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide carbon monoxide (CO); carbon dioxide; hydrocarbons; hydrogen cyanide (HCN); soot; smoke; nitrogen oxides (NOx) Dust generated during handling and/or storage can form explosive mixtures in air. Nylon 6/6 is a combustible thermoplastic material which may melt, drip, and produce heavy black smoke when burned. Firefighters, and others exposed, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Equipment should be thoroughly decontaminated after use. Dust generated during handling and/or storage can form explosive mixtures in air. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions: Use personal protection recommended in section 8.

3 Product name: NYLON 6/6 FLAKE Page 3 / 5 Environmental precautions: Methods for cleaning up: Keep out of drains and water courses. In case of spill, sweep, scoop or vacuum and remove. Flush spill area with water. Refer to Section 13 for disposal information and Sections 14 and 15 for reportable quantity information. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices. These practices include avoiding unnecessary exposure and removal of material from eyes, skin and clothing. Emptied containers retain vapour and product residue. Observe all recommended safety precautions until container is cleaned, reconditioned or destroyed. The reuse of this material's container for non industrial purposes is prohibited and any reuse must be in consideration of the data provided in this material safety data sheet. Storage General: Stable under normal conditions of handling and storage. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Airborne exposure limits: Engineering Measures: Eye protection: Hand protection: Body protection: Respiratory protection: (ml/m3 = ppm) Provide natural or mechanical ventilation to minimize exposure. If practical, use local mechanical exhaust ventilation at sources of air contamination such as processing equipment. Does not cause significant eye irritation or eye toxicity requiring special protection. Use good industrial practice to avoid eye contact. Although this product does not present a significant skin concern, minimize skin contamination by following good industrial practice. Wearing protective gloves is recommended. Consult the glove/clothing manufacturer to determine the appropriate type glove/clothing for a given application. Although this product does not present a significant skin concern, minimize skin contamination by following good industrial practice. Wash contaminated skin thoroughly after handling. Avoid breathing dust. Use approved respiratory protection equipment when airborne exposure limits are exceeded. Consult the respirator manufacturer to determine the appropriate type of equipment for a given application. Observe respirator use limitations specified by the manufacturer. 9.
