MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET

- SKIN CONTACT: If hot or molten polymer contact skin, cool rapidly with
cold water. If polymer is stuck to skin, do not remove. Allow adhered
polymer to come off naturally. Cover burns with sterile dressings and
seek medical attention. Removal of adhered polymer may result in
more tissue damage than if polymer is allowed coming off over time.
- INGESTION: No treatment necessary.
