COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Components
Material
POLYHEXAMETHYLENE ADIPAMIDE (NYLON 66)
LUBRICANTS, STABILIZERS
Components (Remarks)
Material is not known to contain Toxic Chemicals under Section 313
of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act
of 1986 and 40 CFR part 372.

HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Potential Health Effects
ADDITIONAL HEALTH EFFECTS
Read the datasheet for this product or the molding guide for this
resin family.
POLYHEXAMETHYLENE ADIPAMIDE
In general, skin irritation has not been produced in human patch
tests with Nylon 66. However, a small percentage of subjects may
respond to prolonged contact with redness of skin. Significant
skin permeation, and systemic toxicity, after contact appears
unlikely. There are no reports of human sensitization.
If particles of Nylon 66 contact the eye, mechanical irritation
with tearing, pain or blurred vision may result.
Carcinogenicity Information
None of the components present in this material at concentrations
equal to or greater than 0.1% are listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA or ACGIH
as a carcinogen.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRST AID MEASURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
First Aid
INHALATION
No specific intervention is indicated as the compound is not
likely to be hazardous by inhalation. Consult a physician if
necessary. If exposed to fumes from overheating or combustion,
move to fresh air. Consult a physician if symptoms persist.

The compound is not likely to be hazardous by skin contact, but
cleansing the skin after use is advisable. If molten polymer gets
on skin, cool rapidly with cold water. Do not attempt to peel
polymer from skin. Obtain medical treatment for thermal burn.
EYE CONTACT
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water
for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician.
INGESTION
No specific intervention is indicated as compound is not likely to
be hazardous by ingestion.

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Flammable Properties
Flash Point
: Not Applicable
Fire and Explosion Hazards:
Like most organic materials in powder form, dust generated from
this product may form a flammable dust-air mixture. Potential for
a dust explosion may exist. Minimize the generation and
accumulation of dust. Keep away from sources of ignition.
Large molten masses may ignite spontaneously in air.
quenching of such masses is good practice.
Water
Hazardous gases/vapors produced in fire are ammonia, carbon
monoxide, traces of hydrogen cyanide, aldehydes.
Extinguishing Media
Water, Foam, Dry Chemical, CO2.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Keep personnel removed and upwind of fire.
breathing apparatus.
Wear self-contained

ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Safeguards (Personnel)
NOTE: Review FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES and HANDLING (PERSONNEL)
sections before proceeding with clean-up. Use appropriate
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT during clean-up.
Spill Clean Up
Spilled material is a slipping hazard.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
HANDLING AND STORAGE
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Handling (Personnel)
See FIRST AID and PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT SECTIONS.
Handling (Physical Aspects)
Minimize the generation and accumulation of dust.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place. Keep containers tightly closed to
prevent moisture absorption and contamination.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Engineering Controls
VENTILATION When hot processing this material, use local and/or
general exhaust ventilation to control the concentration of vapors
and fumes below exposure limits.
In cutting or grinding operations with this material, use local
exhaust to control the concentration of dust below exposure limits.
Personal Protective Equipment
Eye/Face Protection
Wear safety glasses. Wear coverall chemical splash goggles and
face shield when possibility exists for eye or face contact due to
splashing or spraying of molten material. A full face mask
positive-pressure air-supplied respirator provides protection from
eye irritation.
Respirators
A NIOSH/MSHA approved air-purifying respirator with an organic
vapor cartridge with a dust/mist filter may be permissible under
certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected
to exceed exposure limits. Use a positive-pressure air-supplied
respirator if there is any potential for an uncontrolled release,
exposure levels are not known, or any other circumstances where
air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.
During grinding, sawing, routing, drilling or sanding operations
use a NIOSH/MSHA approved air-purifying respirator with dust/mist
cartridge or canister if airborne particulate concentrations are
expected to exceed permissible exposure levels.
