Potential health effects

Primary routes of exposure


Routes of entry for solids and liquids include eye and skin contact, ingestion and inhalation. Routes of entry
for gases include inhalation and eye contact. Skin contact may be a route of entry for liquified gases.

Acute toxicity:
Contact with molten product may cause thermal burns.
Information on: Caprolactam
No adverse effects have been reported in the processing and use of polycaprolactam.
The OSHA TWA and the ACGIH TLV for Caprolactam vapor are 5 ppm.
No adverse effects have been reported in the processing and use of polycaprolactam.
The OSHA TWA and the ACGIH TLV for Caprolactam vapor are 5 ppm.

Irritation:
Irritation is possible when the product comes in contact with the skin, respiratory tract or the eyes.

Revision date : 2006/05/04 Page: 2/5
Version: 1.0 (30045568/MDS_GEN_US/EN)

Repeated dose toxicity:


No adverse effects have been reported in the processing and use of the product. No known chronic effects.
Information on: Fiberglass
This product contains glass fibers which are compounded into the polymer matrix and thus are not
expected to present the same hazards as fiberglass wool.
Information on: Fiberglass
Animal implantation studies have indicated that fiberglass wool is an animal carcinogen. A small
study of Canadian glass wool workers reported a statistically significant increase in deaths due to
lung cancer; however, animal inhalation studies and several large-scale studies of U.S. and
European fiberglass wool workers have shown no statistically significant increases in lung cancer.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified this material in Category
2B.
Information on: Fiberglass
These findings are based on glass wool, which has a smaller diameter than continous glass
filament or glass fiber chopped strands or rovings. Fiberglass wool is not used in this product.

4. First-aid measures
General advice:
Remove contaminated clothing.

If inhaled:
Remove the affected individual into fresh air and keep the person calm. Assist in breathing if necessary.
Immediate medical attention required.

If on skin:
Burns caused by molten material require hospital treatment.

If in eyes:
In case of contact with the eyes, rinse immediately for at least 15 minutes with plenty of water. If irritation
develops, seek medical attention.

If swallowed:
Ingestion is not likely in the available physical form. If ingested, seek medical attention.

5. Fire-fighting measures
Flash point: > 400 °C (Unspecified)
Autoignition: > 400 °C (ASTM D1929)

Suitable extinguishing media:


water, foam, dry extinguishing media

Hazards during fire-fighting:


carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide, can be emitted at > 300 °C
Formation of further decomposition and oxidation products depends upon the fire conditions. Under special
fire conditions traces of other toxic substances are possible.

Protective equipment for fire-fighting:


Firefighters should be equipped with self-contained breathing apparatus and turn-out gear.

Further information:
Dispose of fire debris and contaminated extinguishing water in accordance with official regulations.
