General Site Instructions 3.5
General Handling
Polyethylene (PE), uPVC and polypropylene (PP) materials are not considered to be skin irritants.
Fine particles may cause irritation if they get into the eyes. uPVC and PP are
chemically stable at normal temperatures. There are no known toxic, dermatitic
or environmental hazards associated with Ridgisewer, Ridgidrain & Polysewer products.
Storage
PE and PP should not be stored in contact with very strong oxidising acids.
Fire Hazards
PE, uPVC and PP are combustible but burn slowly. In a fire they will melt and
burning droplets may fall and propagate the fire. In the event of a fire the
use of water jets should be avoided in the early stages and water sprays
used instead. Water sprays, foam, CO2 and dry powder may be used.
Comprehensive COSHH data sheets are available from Polypipe Civils
Technical Department.
Disposal
Uncontaminated waste can be recycled into other products. If disposed in
landfill uPVC, PE and PP do not emit dangerous gases or contribute to
groundwater pollution.
Comprehensive COSHH data sheets are available from the Polypipe Civils
Technical Department.
