WHMIS Classification: Not Controlled HMIS CODES: H F R P 01 0 B SECTION•R IDENTIFICATION Manufacturer's/Distr ibutor's Name: HomeGuard Building Products Inc. Address: 6797 Thoreau Land, Baltimore, OH 43105 Emergency Phone: 616-846-0804 Information Phone: 616-846-0804 Date Prepared: March 1 2008 Non -hazardous, comprised mainly of polypropylene. Colored and printed fabrics contain small quantities of proprietary pigments that may be health hazards in concentrated form. Contained in the matrix of the fabric, they do not make the fabric hazardous. More detailso ns pecific colors ma b ea vailable on request. •CHARACTERISTICS Appearance and Odor: Flexible sheet, sli t odor Boiling Point: Not Available Specific Gravity: 0.90 —0 .95 Vapor Density: Not Available Evaporation Rate: Not Available Solubility in Water: Insoluble in cold and hot water pH: Not Available Vapor Pressure: Not Available I Freezing Point: 120 to 170°C Coefficient of Oil/WaterD istribution: Not soluble in water or oil. SECTION1 EXPLOSION BAZARDDATA Flashpoint: 315° C. Flammable Limits in Air by Volume: Lower: Not Available Upper: Not Available Extinguishing Media: Foam CO2 Dry,Chemical, Water Special Firefighting Procedures: All individuals required to enter the hazard area must wear full -face, NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus and appropriate protective clothing. Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Polypropylene products are not highly flammable, but will melt and/or bum when exposed to heat or open flame. Avoid contact with molten, dripping plastic. When heated to decomposition, product emits carbon monoxide, acrid smoke and irritating fumes. Material can accumulate static charges which can cause an electrical discharge. SECTION V —RE ACTIVITY DATA Stability: Stable. Decomposition temperature > 3000 C. Conditions to Avoid: Temperatures above 800 C 1750 F , oxidants. Incompatibilities (Conditions to Avoid): Consult manufacturer before using as containment or barrier for chemicals other than water. Very slightly reactive with oxidizing agents, acids alkalis. Hazardous Decomposition or Byproducts: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, and hydrocarbons may be generated during thermal decomposition and combustion. Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur. SECTION' 1 DATA Inhalation Health Risks, Symptoms of Exposure: None at ambient temperatures (48 to 380 C; 0 to 100° F). Vapors which maybe formed at elevated temperatures maybe irritating toe es and respiratory tract. Skin/Eye Contact Health Risks, Symptoms of Exposure: Prolonged and/or repetitive contact can cause abrasion and irritation. Contact with molten product will burn unprotected skin and eyes. Should a burn occur, cool burn area immediately with cool, clean, running water until no heat is emitted from burn area. Cover with light, dry dressing. Do not apply oily ointments or puncture blisters. Obtain medical assistance. Ingestion Health Risks, Symptoms ofExposure: Products should not be eaten, nor used as food wrapping without consulting the manufacturer. Health Hazards Acute and Chronic): None. Carcino eini : NTP? No IARC Monographs? No OSHA Regulated? No Muta genic Effects: None known. Develupmental Toxicity: Not toxic. Tera togenic Effects: None known. Medical Condition Generally AgWavated by Exposure: None identified. Emergency and First Aid Procedures: If in contact with hot or molten plastic, treat the effected area with cool water and seek medical attention. Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: Normal, good housekeeping practices. Use a shovel, or other appropriate instrument, to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Recycle to process, if possible. Spilled product may create a slipping hazard (especially if wet). Waste Disposal Method: In accordance with local, state/provincial and federal regulations. Preferred disposal methods are (1) clean and reuse if possible, (2) contact plastic supplier, 4 incinerate with waste heat recovery,and/or 5 landfill. Precaution to be Taken in Handling and Storage: Products may be slippery to walk on when wet. Charges of static electricity may be generated during handling and processing. Store in a cool, well -ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Do NOT store or handle near an open flame, heat or other sources of ignition. Respiratory Protection: Not required under normal handling and ventilation. Should conditions exist that require respiratory protection, an organic vapor protection mask is recommended. Ventilation: Local exhaust. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.. Small amounts of fines or dust may accumulate in material handling systems. If permitted to accumulate, these fines and dust can, under certain conditions, pose an explosion hazard. Every effort should be made to prevent the concentration or accumulation of fines or dust in, or around, material handling systems. Protective Gloves: Recommended in cases of repetitive contact, such as sewing operations. Where contact may occur with hot material, wear thermal resistant gloves and arm protectors. Eye Protection: Safety glasses or goggles with side shields where contact is likely at ambient temperatures (-18 to 380 C; 0 to 1000 F). Where contact may occur with hot material, wear a face shield. Other Protective Equipment or Clothing: None at ambient temperatures. Wear heat protective clothin is there is a potential for contact with molten material. Work/Hygienic Practices: Wash hands after handling and before eating. SARA Title III Hazard Cateaorv: No applicable information found.
