Section 3 - Hazards Identification

Emergency Overview	No adverse health effects are expected from human exposure to polyhexamethylene adipamide, except for mechanical irritation of skin and eyes caused by particles. Significant skin permeation and systemic toxicity after contact appears unlikely.
Potential Health Effects
Inhalation	Not applicable
Skin	Not applicable
Eyes	Not applicable
Ingestion	Not applicable
Carcinogenicity	NTP? No IARC Monographs? No OSHA Regulated? No.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures

Inhalation	No specific intervention is indicated as the compound is not likely to be hazardous by inhalation. Consult a physician if necessary. If exposed to fumes from overheating or combustion, move to fresh air. Consult a physician if symptoms persist.
Skin	The compound is not likely to be hazardous by skin contact, but cleansing the skin after use is advisable. If molten polymer gets onto skin, cool rapidly with cold water. Do not attempt to peel polymer from skin. Obtain medical treatment for thermal burn.
Eyes	In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician.
Ingestion	No specific intervention is indicated as compound is not likely to be hazardous by ingestion. Consult a physician if necessary.

Section 5 - Firefighting Measures

Flash Point (Method Used): 400C (752F) D1929	Flammable Limits: LEL: N/A UEL: N/A Auto Iginition Temp: 752F NFPA Class: N/A
General Hazards	Large molten masses may ignite spontaneously in air. Water quenching of such masses is good practice.
Extinguishing Media	Water, foam, dry chemical, CO2
Firefighting Procedures	Keep personnel removed and upwind of fire. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards	Large molten masses may ignite spontaneously in air. Water quenching of such masses is good practice.
Hazardous Combustion Products	Ammonia, carbon monoxide, small amounts of hydrogen cyanide and aldehydes.

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures

Steps To Be Taken In Case Material Is Released Or Spilled:
Sweep up to prevent a slipping hazard.

Section 7 - Handling And Storage

Precautions To Be Taken In Handling And Storage:
See first aid and protection information sections. Store in a cool, dry place.
Keep containers tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption and contamination.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Use local ventilation to control fumes from hot processing.

Respiratory Protection (Specify Type)	NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge and a dust/mist filter may be permissable under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits. Protection provided by air purifying respirators is limited. Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator if there is any potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or any other circumstance where air purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.
Protective Gloves	Not applicable
Eye/Face Protection	Wear safety glasses. Wear coverall chemical splash goggles and face shield when possibility exists for eye and face contact due to splashing or spraying of molten material. A ful face mask respirator provides protection from eye irritation.
Other Protective Clothing Or Equipment	If there is a potential contact with hot/molten material, wear heat resistant clothing and footwear.
Work/Hygienic Practices	Avoid exposure to high concentrations of dust.

Section 9 - Physical And Chemical Properties

Vapor Pressure (MM Hg)	Not applicable
Specific Gravity (Water = 1)	1.22 - 1.38
Solubility In Water	Insoluble
Ph	Not applicable
Boiling Point	Not applicable
Viscosity	Not applicable
Vapor Density (Air = 1)	Not applicable
Evaporation Rate (Water = 1)	Not applicable
Freezing Point	Solid at room temp
Appearance And Odor	Odorless filaments
Physical State	Solid
Volatile Organic Compounds	ca 1% (water)
