Polyester Safety InformationAll sales of products by Advanced Plastics as described herein are made solely on conditionthat our customers comply with applicable health and safety laws, regulations and ordersrelating to the handling of our products in the workplace. Before using, read the followinginformation and both the product label and Material Safety Data Sheet pertaining to eachproduct applicable.Most polyester resins contain styrene. Styrene can cause eye, skin and respiratory tractirritation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Impermeable gloves, safety eyewearand protective clothing should be worn during use to avoid skin and eye contact. Washthoroughly after use.Styrene is a solvent and may be harmful if inhaled. Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupationaloverexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. Extended exposure to styrene atconcentrations above the recommended exposure limits may cause central nervous system depression causingdizziness, headaches or nausea and if overexposure is continued indefinitely, loss of consciousness, liver and kidneydamage.Do not breathe or ingest vapor, spray mists and dusts caused by applying, sanding, grinding and sawing polyesterproducts. Wear an appropriate NIOSH/MSHA approved, properly fitted, respirator during application and use of theseproducts until vapors, mists and dusts are exhausted, unless air monitoring demonstrates vapors, mists and dusts arebelow applicable exposure limits. Follow respirator manufacturer’s directions for respirator use.The International Agency For Research on Cancer (IARC) has reclassified styrene as a Group 2B "possibly carcinogenicto humans". This new classification is not based on new health data relating to either humans or animals, but on achange in the IARC classification system. The Styrene Information and Research Center does not agree with thereclassification and has published the following statement: "Recently published studies tracing 50,000 workers exposedto high occupational levels of styrene over a period of 45 years showed no association between styrene and cancer, noincrease in cancer among styrene workers (as opposed to the average among all workers), and no increase in mortalityrelated to styrene".Styrene is classified by OSHA and the Department of Transportation as a flammable liquid. Flammable polyesterproducts should be kept away from heat, sparks, and flame. Lighting and other electrical systems in the work placeshould be vapor-proof and protected from breakage.Vapors from styrene may cause flash fire. Styrene vapors are heavier than air and may concentrate in the lower levels ofmolds and the work area. General clean air dilution or local exhaust ventilation should be provided in volume and patternto keep vapors well below the lower exposure limit and all are contaminants (vapor, mists and dusts) below the currentpermissible exposure limits in the mixing, application, curing and repair areas.If the label or Material Safety Data Sheet indicates lead or lead chromate is present, do not use on toys, furniture orsurfaces that might be chewed by children. Wash hands thoroughly after using and before smoking or eating. Longtermoverexposure by inhalation or ingestion of mists and dusts from products containing lead compounds and leadchromate can cause harmful effects to the urinary, blood, reproductive and nervous systems and may create risk ofcancer. Use a respirator as explained above in this information sheet.Some polyester products may contain additional hazardous ingredients. To determine the hazardous ingredientspresent, their applicable exposure limits and other safety information, read the Material Safety Data Sheet for eachproduct before using.First Aid: In case of eye contact, flush immediately with plenty of water for at lease 15 minutes and get medical attention;for skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water. If affected by inhalation of vapors or spray mist, remove to fresh air. Ifswallowed, get medical attention.Labeling: Polyester products have a least two components that must be mixed before use. Any mixture of componentswill have hazards of all components. Before opening the packages, read all warning labels. Observe all precautions.Storage: Keep polyester containers closed when not in use. In case of spillage, absorb with inert material and dispose ofin accordance with applicable regulations. Emptied containers may retain hazardous residue. Do not cut, puncture orweld near these containers. Follow container label warnings until containers are thoroughly cleaned or destroyed.Note: Advanced Plastics would like to thank Cook Composites and Polymers for their gracious consent in allowing us to extractthe above information from their copyrighted data sheets and informational bulletins.www.advanced-plastics.com 27
