Chemin du Pavillon, 2 CH-1218 Le Grand-Saconnex, Geneva Switzerland Telephone : +41 (0) Telefax : +41 (0) address : sds-support@che.dupont.com Emergency telephone number Emergency telephone number : +(44) (CHEMTREC) Hazards identification Classification of the substance or mixture Label elements Product information The hazards of this product are associated mainly with its processing. High concentrations of dust can irritate eyes, nose and respiratory system and cause coughing and sneezing. Continual rubbing of fibre particulates and dust on the skin can cause a transitory, mild irritation with redness or itching. 1/7

2 Composition/information on ingredients Article composition Registration number Classification according to Regulation (EU) 1272/2008 (CLP) Concentration Meta-aramid fiber or meta-aramid fiber blended with para-aramid, antistatic or other synthetic fibers 100 % The above products are compliant to REACH registration obligations; Registration number(s) may not be provided because substance(s) are exempted, not yet registered under REACH or are registered under another regulatory process (biocide uses, plant protection products), etc. First aid measures Description of first aid measures General advice : No hazards which require special first aid measures. If symptoms persist, call a physician. If irritation occurs, flush area thoroughly with water. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Firefighting measures Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing media : Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment. Special hazards arising from the article Specific hazards during firefighting : Hazardous decomposition products formed under fire conditions. Advice for firefighters Special protective equipment for firefighters : Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary. Accidental release measures Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Personal precautions : None. 2/7

3 Environmental precautions Environmental precautions : Do not let product enter drains. Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up Methods for cleaning up : Avoid dust formation. Clean up dusts and fibres with high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtered vacuum equipment, or by wet cleaning. Reference to other sections Handling and storage Precautions for safe handling Advice on safe handling : Avoid dust formation. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Do not touch moving threadlines. Entanglement with this fibre can severely cut or even sever fingers. Requirements for storage areas and containers : Keep away from direct sunlight.
