2 SECTION 6 - Potential Fire Hazards Fire Decomposition Products: Fire Fighting Procedure: Carbon oxides and various hydrocarbons and silicon oxides. High expansion foam Water fog. Treat as a hydrocarbon fire. Use fresh air masks. SECTION 7 - Spill Control / Waste Disposal Repackage uncontaminated rubber. Bury rubber wastes in an approved land fill site. SECTION 8 - Health Hazards, Toxicology None of the additives are listed in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title paragraph subpart Z - Toxic and Hazardous Substances. This material is an inert, non-hazardous solid, however it is recommended that gloves be used during prolonged handling. This product can generate formaldehyde at approximately 150 degrees C and above in the presence of air. Formaldehyde is a skin and respiratory sensitizer, eye and throat irritant, acute toxicant and potential cancer hazard. Use dequate ventilation and/or wear protective equipment when this product is heated at approximately 150 degrees C and above. This material has no known hazardous properties. ACGIH and OSHA exposure limits are no longer relevant to compounding ingredients after incorporation into rubber. However since this material contains more than 1% ingredients listed as hazardous in OSHA , it is recommended that the protected measures described below should be followed. SECTION 9: Protective Measures Wear cloth gloves and appropriate clothing to minimize skin contact. Follow good personal hygiene practices. Observe general safety regulations for rubber processing and compounding. As conditions or methods of use are beyond our control, we do not assume any responsibility and expressly disclaim any liability for any use of this material.
