The product does not contain any hazardous substances according to the EU Directives 1955/45/EC and 67/548/EEC.
3. Hazard Identification
No Specific danger is associated to the normal industrial utilisation of the product. However, it is to be considered that plastic
film left of the ground of working areas are slippery, and that during converting of film rolls electrostatic discharges can be generated.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation/ingestion:
Skin Contact:
Considering the physical form of the product, inhalation and/or ingestion are not likely to be possible during normal use. For inhalation of
fumes, see section 5.
In case of skin injuries due to melting material, seek medical assistance.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Polypropylene film is not a flammable material, but it will burn if exposed to flames, giving off harmful fumes that should not be inhaled.
Molten droplets of polymer can be produced, which could ignite adjacent flammable and/or combustible materials.
Self-ignition temperature: > 400 °C
Combustion products:
By direct ignition the product burns with flames, developing H2O, CO2 & in case of oxugen defect, also CO. The fire products are irritant &
toxic.
Decomposition products:
In the growth stages of fires (particularly between 400 - 700 °C) other products as hydrocarbons and aldehydes (acetaldehyde,
crotonaldehyde) may be formed.
Recommended extinguishing media: water, foam
First aid:
In case of the inhalation of fumes, the affected person should be removed to fresh air as soon as possible, kept warm and artificial
respiration applied as necessary. Medical attention should be obtained immediately.
skin or clothing contaminated by molten polymer should be drenched with clean cold water until cool. In case of skin contact by
molten material , the patient should be referred for immediate medical attention and under no circumstances should any attempt be made to
peel the solidified polymer off the skin.
Hazchem code: Not available
6. Accidental release measures:
Collect the film in order to avoid possible slipping of personnel on the floor.
7. Handling and storage:
Film rolls and pallets are heavy. Film edges are sharp and may cause cuts / wounds. Exercise in handling the material, most care.
Store films at ambient temperatureand humidity (preferably 25 °C, 50% relative humidity) in original packaging.
Store away from heating sorces, avoid static electricity buildup. whem pallets are stored in racks, it should be checked whether the pallets fit
the racks.
8. Exposure controls / personal protection
During normal handling protective gloves and the usual protective equipment are recommended.
If there is any possibility of contacting molten film (e.g.: nearby the sealing bars or the heated rollers of packaging machines). Heat protective gloves are recommended.
9. Physical and chemical properties:
These are indicative values only and should not be regarded as product specification.
