3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Products are off-white waxy solids in pastille or
powder form. Dust from this product may form an explosive mixture in air. May
cause mild eye irritation. Can release irritating and/or toxic fumes and vapors if
involved in a fire.
MSDS Number: ACPA0009 Current Issue Date: February, 2004
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
A-C? Ethylene-Maleic Anhydride Copolymers
POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARDS
SKIN: May cause mechanical irritation if the product comes into contact with the skin. Contact with
molten material may cause thermal burns.
EYES: May cause mild irritation if product comes into contact with the eye. May also cause
mechanical irritation.
INHALATION: Not a probable route of exposure under normal conditions of use. Elevated
processing temperatures may generate fumes and vapors which may cause irritation
to the nose and throat.
INGESTION: Not a probable route of exposure. Not considered hazardous.
DELAYED EFFECTS: None known.
Ingredients found on one of the OSHA designated carcinogen lists are listed below.
INGREDIENT NAME NTP STATUS IARC STATUS OSHA LIST
No ingredients listed in this section.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
SKIN: If in contact with solid material, wash with soap and water. If in contact with molten material,
submerge injured area in cold water. Do not attempt to remove material adhering to the skin.
Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
EYES: Flush eyes with plenty of water. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
INHALATION: If exposed to vapors at elevated processing conditions, remove to fresh air. Get medical
attention if irritation develops or persists.
INGESTION: Not a probable route of exposure.
ADVICE TO PHYSICIAN: No specific advice, treat symptomatically.

MSDS Number: ACPA0009 Current Issue Date: February, 2004
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
A-C? Ethylene-Maleic Anhydride Copolymers
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
Use water fog, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or foam as appropriate for materials in surrounding fire.
Avoid using direct streams of water on molten burning material as it may scatter and spread the fire.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
Melts in proximity to fires resulting in slippery floors and stairs. Static charges on powders or powders
in liquids may ignite combustible atmospheres. Airborne dusts of this product in an enclosed space
and in the presence of an ignition source may constitute an explosion hazard. See NFPA Bulletin 654,
??Standard for the Prevention of Fire and Dust Explosions from the Manufacturing, Processing, and
Handling of Combustible Particulate Solids,?? for safe handling procedures.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PRECAUTIONS/INSTRUCTIONS:
As in any fire, wear NIOSH/MSHA approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and
full protective clothing. Watch footing on floors and stairs because of possible spreading of molten
material.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
IN CASE OF SPILL OR OTHER RELEASE: (Always wear recommended personal protective equipment.)
Avoid generating dust. Keep away from heat or flame. Collect material and place in a container for re-
use or disposal. If material is molten, allow to cool. Use caution, as material may still be hot after
solidification.
Spills and releases may have to be reported to Federal and/or local authorities. See Section 15
regarding reporting requirements.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
NORMAL HANDLING: (Always wear recommended personal protective equipment.)
Under conditions of storage, vapors may collect in the headspace of the containers causing a
sometimes pungent odor during unpacking of these products. Avoid breathing vapors when opening
containers. Avoid spillage which can cause very slippery conditions on floors. Follow standard
personal hygiene and housekeeping practices for an industrial environment.
STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS:
To maintain product quality, store in a cool, dry area, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not store
near strong oxidizing agents and amines.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
General room ventilation is adequate for storage and ordinary handling. Use local exhaust at points of
fume generation or if dusty conditions prevail to maintain exposure below the PEL/TLV exposure
limits.
MSDS Number: ACPA0009 Current Issue Date: February, 2004
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
A-C? Ethylene-Maleic Anhydride Copolymers
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
SKIN PROTECTION:
Not normally required. Use heat-protective clothing as needed for handling hot material.
EYE PROTECTION:
Wear safety glasses or goggles that conform to ANSI Z87.1 under normal conditions. Wear safety
goggles and/or a full-face shield if there is potential for contact with molten material.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
Not required for properly ventilated areas. If there is potential for inhalation of dust or vapor, wear
a NIOSH approved respirator.
The respirator must be selected based on contamination levels and use conditions found in the
workplace. Use conditions must not exceed the working limits of the respirator. The respirator
must be used in accordance with the OSHA respiratory protection standard (29 CFR 1910.134).
ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS:
Provide safety showers and eyewash stations in close proximity to the work area.
