4. FIRST AID MEASURES General advice Inhalation : : When symptoms persist or in all cases of doubt seek medical advice. Move to fresh air in case of accidental inhalation of fumes from overheating or combustion. Consult a physician. Wash off with soap and water. Cool skin rapidly with cold water after contact with hot polymer. Do not peel polymer from the skin. Consult a physician if necessary. Hold eyelids apart and flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention. If victim is conscious: Drink water as a precaution. Consult a physician.

5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES Suitable extinguishing media Specific hazards during firefighting Special protective equipment for firefighters Further information : Carbon dioxide (CO2), Foam, Water, Dry chemical

Burning produces noxious and toxic fumes.

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit. Wear neoprene gloves during cleaning up work after a VITON fire. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses. The solid polymer can only be burned with difficulty.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions Environmental precautions Methods for cleaning up : : : Ventilate the area. Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8. Try to prevent the material from entering drains or water courses. Shovel into suitable container for disposal. Clean contaminated floors and objects thoroughly while observing environmental regulations.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling Advice on safe handling : Protect from contamination. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at dryers, machinery and at places where dust or volatiles can be generated. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. General precaution for all plastics and elastomers: Take necessary action to avoid static electricity discharge (which might cause ignition of organic vapours). Avoid dust formation.

Engineering measures Use only in area provided with appropriate exhaust ventilation. Personal protective equipment Respiratory protection : In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Respirator with combination filter for vapour/particulate (EN 141). : Material: Nitrile rubber Glove thickness: 0.38 mm Wearing time: 8 h If VITON is used above 315 C the surface may contain hydrogen fluoride condensate which may cause severe burns. In this case wear neoprene gloves. Wear neoprene gloves to prevent contact with hydrofluoric acid. Skin should be washed after contact. Eye protection Skin and body protection : Safety glasses with side-shields : If there is a potential for contact with hot/molten material wear heat resistant clothing and footwear. : Do not breathe dust. Do not breathe fumes evolved from hot polymer. General precaution for all plastics and elastomers: Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the product. Regular cleaning of equipment, work area and clothing. When using do not eat, drink or smoke.
