OSHA Hazard Communication Standard

This product is not a "Hazardous Chemical" as defined by the OSHA Hazard Communication
Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200.

Potential Health Effects

Eye Contact: Solid or dust may cause irritation or corneal injury due to mechanical action. Elevated
temperatures may generate vapor levels sufficient to cause eye irritation. Effects may include
discomfort and redness.
Skin Contact: Prolonged contact is essentially nonirritating to skin. Mechanical injury only. Under
normal processing conditions, material is heated to elevated temperatures; contact with the material
may cause thermal burns.

Skin Absorption: No adverse effects anticipated by skin absorption.

Inhalation: No adverse effects are anticipated from single exposure to dust. Vapors released during
thermal processing may cause respiratory irritation.
Ingestion: Very low toxicity if swallowed. Harmful effects not anticipated from swallowing small
amounts. May cause choking if swallowed.
Aspiration hazard: Based on physical properties, not likely to be an aspiration hazard.

3. Composition Information

Component CAS # Amount

Butadiene-styrene-acrylonitrile-n-butyl acrylate polymer 26657-42-1 >= 99.3 %

4. First-aid measures

Eye Contact: Flush eyes thoroughly with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses after the
initial 1-2 minutes and continue flushing for several additional minutes. If effects occur, consult a
physician, preferably an ophthalmologist.
Skin Contact: If molten material comes in contact with the skin, do not apply ice but cool under ice
water or running stream of water. DO NOT attempt to remove the material from skin. Removal could
result in severe tissue damage. Seek medical attention immediately.
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air; if effects occur, consult a physician.
Ingestion: If swallowed, seek medical attention. May cause gastrointestinal blockage. Do not give
laxatives. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel.
Notes to Physician: If burn is present, treat as any thermal burn, after decontamination. No specific
antidote. Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical
condition of the patient.
Emergency Personnel Protection: If potential for exposure exists refer to Section 8 for specific
personal protective equipment.

5. Fire Fighting Measures

Extinguishing Media: Water fog or fine spray. Dry chemical fire extinguishers. Carbon dioxide fire
extinguishers. Foam.
Fire Fighting Procedures: Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. Soak
thoroughly with water to cool and prevent re-ignition. If material is molten, do not apply direct water
stream. Use fine water spray or foam. Cool surroundings with water to localize fire zone. Hand held
dry chemical or carbon dioxide extinguishers may be used for small fires.
Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, trousers,
boots, and gloves). If protective equipment is not available or not used, fight fire from a protected
location or safe distance.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Pneumatic conveying and other mechanical handling
operations can generate combustible dust. To reduce the potential for dust explosions, do not permit
dust to accumulate. Dense smoke is produced when product burns.
Hazardous Combustion Products: During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in addition
to combustion products of varying composition which may be toxic and/or irritating. Combustion
products may include and are not limited to: Nitrogen oxides. Carbon monoxide. Carbon dioxide.
Combustion products may include trace amounts of: Styrene. Hydrogen cyanide.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Steps to be Taken if Material is Released or Spilled: Contain spilled material if possible. Sweep up.
Collect in suitable and properly labeled containers. See Section 13, Disposal Considerations, for
additional information.
Personal Precautions: Spilled material may cause a slipping hazard. Use appropriate safety
equipment. For additional information, refer to Section 8, Exposure Controls and Personal Protection.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent from entering into soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and/or
groundwater. See Section 12, Ecological Information.

7. Handling and Storage

Handling
General Handling: No smoking, open flames or sources of ignition in handling and storage area.
Good housekeeping and controlling of dusts are necessary for safe handling of product. Avoid
breathing process fumes. Use with adequate ventilation. When appropriate, unique handling
information for containers can be found on the product label. Workers should be protected from the
possibility of contact with molten resin. Do not get molten material in eyes, on skin or clothing.
Pneumatic conveying and other mechanical handling operations can generate combustible dust. To
reduce the potential for dust explosions, electrically bond and ground equipment and do not permit
dust to accumulate. Dust can be ignited by static discharge.

Storage
Store in accordance with good manufacturing practices.

8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

Exposure Limits

None established

Personal Protection
Eye/Face Protection: Use safety glasses (with side shields). If there is a potential for exposure to
particles which could cause eye discomfort, wear chemical goggles. If exposure causes eye
discomfort, use a full-face respirator.
Skin Protection: No precautions other than clean body-covering clothing should be needed.
Hand protection: Chemical protective gloves should not be needed when handling this
material. Consistent with general hygienic practice for any material, skin contact should be
minimized. Use gloves to protect from mechanical injury. Selection of gloves will depend on
the task. Use gloves with insulation for thermal protection, when needed.
Respiratory Protection: Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to exceed
the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements
or guidelines, wear respiratory protection when adverse effects, such as respiratory irritation or
discomfort have been experienced, or where indicated by your risk assessment process. Use an
approved air-purifying respirator when vapors are generated at increased temperatures or when dust
or mist is present. The following should be effective types of air-purifying respirators: When dust/mist
are present use a/an Particulate filter. When combinations of vapors, acids, or dusts/mists are
present use a/an Organic vapor cartridge with a particulate pre-filter.
Ingestion: Use good personal hygiene. Do not consume or store food in the work area. Wash hands
before smoking or eating.

Engineering Controls
Ventilation: Use local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels
below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit

Page 3 of 7
Product Name: MAGNUM* 3904 'SMOOTH' ABS Resin Natural Issue Date: 06/04/2010

requirements or guidelines, general ventilation should be sufficient for most operations. Local exhaust
ventilation may be necessary for some operations.

Movement & Partitioning

No bioconcentration of the polymeric component is expected because of its high molecular weight. In
the terrestrial environment, material is expected to remain in the soil. In the aquatic environment,
material will sink and remain in the sediment.

Persistence and Degradability

This water-insoluble polymeric solid is expected to be inert in the environment. Surface
photodegradation is expected with exposure to sunlight. No appreciable biodegradation is expected.

ECOTOXICITY
Not expected to be acutely toxic, but material in pellet or bead form may mechanically cause adverse
effects if ingested by waterfowl or aquatic life.
