4. FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION:
EYE CONTACT:
‘SKIN CONTACT:
INGESTION:
Unlikely as product is solid. If involved in a fire, toxic
materials are likely to be formed from the
breakdown of the polyurethane film/foam. Avoid
breathing dust, use dusk mask if necessary.
Remove to fresh air. If persistent iritation, coughing
or breathing difficulties occur, get medical attention.
Flush with water. Remove contact lenses for better
cleaning. If irritation persists or flushing is
inadequate, get medical attention
Product is designed for skin contact. If a rash,
persistent irritation or dermatitis occurs, get medical
attention.
Get medical attention if any related symptoms
occur after accidental ingestion.
5. FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
FLASHPOINT:
FLAMMABLE /
EXPLOSIVE LIMITS IN AIR:
FIRE FIGHTHING
INSTRUCTIONS:
na
LEL = see explosion hazards
UEL = na
Burning is accompanied by melting and dripping
which may cause the fire to spread. Combustion will
evolve irritant, possibly toxic vapours.
In addition to the normal breakdown products from
buming paper and cellulose (CO, CO>, etc.) thermal
degradation of the foam will generate breakdown
products which might include NHs, hydrocarbons,
nitrogen oxides, isocyanate vapours and hydrogen
cyanate vapours. The film component may form
some nitrogenous organic compounds. The ratio
depends on the burning temperature and the
presence of oxygen.
Extinguish with foam, sand, dry powder or
carbondioxide. Do not use water jet. Dust explosion

PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
FOR FIRE FIGHTING:
EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
hazard may result from forceful application of fire
extinguishing agents.
Wear self contained positive pressure breathing
apparatus with full face mask and full protective
clothing,
Depending on moisture content, particle diameter
and rate of heating cellulose dust may explode in
the presence of an ignition source.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SPILL OR LEAK
PROCEDURES:
WASTE DISPOSAL
METHODS:
7. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
HANDLING & STORAGE:
OTHER PRECAUTIONS:
The product is a solid and insoluble product.
Therefore uncontrolled release (into air or water) is
highly unlikely.
Recycle or dispose of as a non-hazardous, solid
waste in accordance with local regulations and
requirements.
For proper handling and usage of the dressing
please refer to the instructions for use. Store at
normal room temperature (below 30 °C), out of
direct sunlight and in a dry location.
Handle and store away from ignition sources.
Minimize compressed air blowdown or other
practices that may generate high dust levels.
Edges of the release paper / film can be sharp,
causing possible lacerations.

10. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
FINISHED PRODUCT
ASSESMENT:
The biological safety of the finished product has
been evaluated according to the requirements of
DIN EN ISO 10999.
The adhesive dressing is intended to be used on
chronic wounds within the indication given in the
instructions for use
ACUTE TOXICITY FROM SUPERABSORBENT POLYMERS
TARGET ORGANS:
INGESTION:
SKIN CONTACT:
Lungs from dust.
Single dose oral toxicity is considered to be low.
The oral LD50 for rats is >2500 mg/kg. No hazards
anticipated from swallowing small amounts
incidental to normal handling operations.
A single prolonged exposure is not likely to result in,
the material being absorbed through the skin in
harmful amounts. The LD50 for skin contact in rats
is > 2000 mg/kg.
IRRITATION OF THE SUPERABSORBENT POLYMER,
SKIN:
EYES:
Prolonged or repeated exposure is not likely to
cause significant skin irritation.
May cause eye irritation. May cause very slight
transient (i.e. temporary) comeal injury.

Dust may cause irritation to upper respiratory
tract (throat and nose).
Not an OSHA, IARC or NTP carcinogen.
A chronic (2 years) lifetime inhalation study with
micronized superabsorbent polymer dust (to get
completely respirable particles) performed on rats
resulted in a non-specific inflammatory respond in
the lung of the rats, followed in the highest chronic
exposure level by tumor development in some
animals. in the absence of chronic inflammation
tumors are not expected. The study found a definite
NOEL of 0.05 mg/m: of micronized superabsorbent
polymer dust.
In vitro mutagenicity studies were negative.
Animal mutagenicity studies were negative.

11. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
MOBILITY AND BIO-
ACCUMULATION POTENTIAL:
DEGRADATION:
AQUATIC TOXICITY:
Partitioning from water to n-octanol is not
applicable. Bioaccumulation is not expected
because of the relatively high molecular weight (MW
> 1000 Da). Potential for mobility in soil is slight
(Poc between 2000 and 5000).
Biodegradation is not expected in a wastewater
plant. Chemical degradation (hydrolysis) is expected
in the environment within month or years. Parts of
the product will slowly degrade under exposure of
Uv-light.
Acute LC50 for fathead minnow (Pimephales
promelas) is 610 mg/L. Acute LC50 for water flea
(Daphnia magna) is > 1000 mg/L. Material is not
harmful to aquatic organisms (LCSO/ECSO/IC5O >
100 mg/L).
