58 primed Medical Products Inc. Information to support MSDS for H&H Company Identification: Product Name: Production Use: Section 1: Product & Company Identification primed Medical Products Inc. Material for H&H Dry Sterile Burn Dressing & Super Cravat Cravat Section 2: Composition / Information on Ingredients Name CAS Number % by Weight Polypropylene N/A Aprox. 100% Section 3: Hazards Identification The base material is made of polypropylene, not loosing fibers in normal handling conditions, it is non-toxic and non-irritant when in skin contact. When in room temperature it is not inflammable and do not propagate to flame. The polyolefins (polyethylene and polypropylene) fusion may occur in temperatures near to 160 C, and the ignition in temperatures above to 350 C. The combustion produce a dark and toxic smoke that may contains water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon residues and oxidizing agents, including aldehydes that are irritant and tearful for the eyes. Smoke inhalation Burn Section 4: First Aid Measures The affected person must be removed for a clean, fresh air local, be kept warmed up and with artificial respiration applications until the arrival of specialized medical help. The part of the skin in contact with the melted material must be washed in abundant fresh water, for 15 minutes, and then the victim must be headed to a specialized medical center. Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures In case of fire, the area must be isolated, checking the aspects of exhaust of smoke originated by the burn. The polypropylene, when in combustion, produce an A class fire, so, the fire must be put out with water spray (water fog), mechanical foam, dry chemical powder, CO2 or halon. The fire must be put out by specialized staff (Emergency squad or Fire department). Small Spill and Leak: Section 6: Accidental Release Measures Material left on floor presents a slipping hazard. To mitigate this risk, good housekeeping must be maintained at all times. Section 7: Handling and Storage The Storage may take place in a cover, fresh (temperature between 15 to 35 C), dry and far from the ignitions sources area. The product must not be stored in contact with the warehouse walls and must be kept in its original packaging until its usage. Section 8: Exposure Controls / Personal Protection The handling of the product must be done through equipment (Pile driver, pneumatic transporter, etc). In case of needing manual handling, there is an ergonomic risk due to the weight and dimensions of the roll.

59 Equipment of Personal Security recommends protective gloves and security shoes. Section 9: Physical & Chemical Properties Physical condition: solid at ambient temperatures a. Odor: not volatile at ambient temperatures b. Melting point: ºC c. Fusion Point: 160ºC (approx.) d. Ignition point: > 350 ºC e. Solubility in water: insoluble f. Density: 0,90 g/cm³ at 23ºC g. Viscosity: not available h. Thermal decomposition: (See item 3. Hazard identifications) Section 10: Stability & Reactivity In general terms, the material is inert to most usual chemical products, however it can suffer molecular structure alterations when submitted to strict heating and/or solar radiation conditions. The nonwoven, even being little reactive can suffer degradation when in contact with concentrated acids, chloride solvents or non-polar solvents. Section 11: Toxicological Information Not irritant and not sensitive product. Section 12: Ecological Information On the manufacturing, the nonwoven residue generated in the process is totally recyclable. When thrown directly into the environment, plastic materials are not easily degradable. Section 13: Disposal Considerations When it reaches the end of its useful life, the product must be separated and then ruled out in an appropriated sanitary landfill or be designated to incineration (Thermal recycling). In order to get more specific orientations, we recommend consulting the local Environmental Control Association. Section 14: Transport Information The material is not considered hazardous for the transportation. (CAS nº ).
