1 Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) 170 Alfa Rufol sd100 1 Identification of the Substance/Mixture and the Company Product Identification: Alfa Rufol sd Manufacturer/Supplier: Alfa GmbH Dr.-Rudolf-Schieber-Str Westhausen / Germany Tel: +49 (0) Fax: +49 (0) sales@alfa-direct.com 2 Hazards Identification Classification of the substance or mixture No classification According to the current state of knowledge, the product does not pose any known danger to humans or the environment if used according to regulations. Contact with molten product can cause burns. Dust and vapours that are released during processing may irritate respiratory system, skin and eyes. Danger of slipping if granulate is spilled. 3 Composition/Information on Ingredients Chemical characterization Masterbatch with a combination of brominated flame retardant and antimony trioxide, and an antifriction agent on polyethylene basis Hazardous components Substance Concentration ENECS-No. Hazard Symbol R-phrase (cp. section 16) Antimony trioxide 4 5% Xn = Harmful R40 1 / 6 05/2012

2 4 First Aid Measures The following measures refer to critical situations. At room temperature and when handled correctly, the product does not pose any threat. After inhalation If person is under impact of aerosols, smoke or steam of heated or flammable products: Supply fresh air. If breathing is irregular or stops: artificial respiration After skin contact Frequent or prolonged contact: wash with plenty of water and soap, rinse liberally. Contact with molten product may cause burns cool with cold water immediately, cover with clean cloths and seek medical advice. Do not remove substance or sticking clothing from skin, since that may easily destroy the damaged dermal tissue After eye contact Rinse opened eye thoroughly under running water until irritation abates (10 to 15 minutes). If irritation continues, seek medical advice. After swallowing Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water and drink water. If spontaneous vomiting occurs recovery position. Seek medical advice if complaints arise. Information for the physicist Symptomatic treatment and supporting therapy as indicated. 5 Fire fighting Measures Suitable extinguishing agents Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), foam, extinguishing powder, sprayed water For safety reasons unsuitable extinguishing agents Full water jet Special hazards information In case of a fire, carbon dioxides, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen bromide and other toxic gases and fumes develop. Fire gases from organic materials always have to be classified as respiratory toxins. Protective equipment Chemical protection overall with self-contained respiratory protective device 6 Accidental Release Measures Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures See sections 4,7 and 8 2 / 6 05/2012

3 Environmental precautions Keep material from entering earth/ground, sewage system, surface or ground water. Methods for cleaning/removal Collect mechanically and dispose of in closed container. See also section Handling and Storage Precautions for safe handling Keep workplace well-ventilated and provide local exhaustion. For more information see section 8. Information about fire - and explosion protection Do not store product near open flame, sources of heat or ignition. Take precautions against electrostatic charging. Storage Apart from the specific properties of the product, factors like humidity, sunlight and temperature directly influence the product during its storage and handling. Protect material from direct sunlight. 8 Limitation and Control of Exposure/Personal Protection Limitation and Control of Exposure Product related Preparation does not create dust. General Dust Limit Value (TRGS 900 Technical Rules for Hazardous Substances) alveolar: 3 mg/m³ inhalable particles: 10 mg/m³ General protective and hygienic measures: Usual precautions in handling chemical substances have to be observed. Do not eat, drink, smoke or take snuff at your workplace. Respiratory protection If exhaustion is insufficient or exposition to developing fumes prolonged: protective mask. Hand protection Wear suitable protective gloves. When handling hot product, heat resistant gloves should be worn. Eye / facial protection Wear goggles if an impact cannot be excluded. Skin protection Normal, skin covering overalls. Closed-in shoes 3 / 6 05/2012

4 9 Physical and Chemical Properties Appearance: Aggregate State: Odour: Relative density: Solubility in water: Melting point/melting range: Self-ignition temperature: Flash point: Oxidizing properties: Vapour pressure (50 C): white, opaque granulate solid characteristic approx. 2,09 g/ml practically insoluble 10 Stability and Reactivity Conditions to be avoided Temperatures above 300 C may lead to decomposition of the product. See also section 7. Materials to be avoided Avoid contact with strong acids, bases or oxidizing agents. Hazardous decomposition products Carbon dioxides, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen bromide and other toxic gases and fumes 11 Toxicological Information Toxicological tests Product has not been separately tested Inhalation Developing dust, released gases and vapours may irritate respiratory system Skin contact Hot product may cause severe burns Eye contact Developing dust, released gases and vapours may irritate eyes. Spilling of molten product may lead to severe eye injuries. Swallowing Due to the product s polymer-bound nature it is unlikely to show poisonous properties. 12 Ecological Information Ecotoxicity 4 / 6 05/2012

5 Product has not been separately tested. Due to its consistence and the lack of solubility in water, a bioavailability is not likely. Mobility Due to its physical and chemical properties, product has only low mobility and can be detached mechanically. Persistence and decomposability Composition is only slowly decomposable. Bioaccumulation potential No information available. Results of PBT assessment: No information available. 13 Disposal Considerations For the disposal of product and packaging, please observe local regulations; possibly hazardous waste disposal. Waste code/waste identification Not known 14 Transport Information No hazardous goods in the sense of these transport regulations. 15 Regulatory Information Labelling according to EC regulations 67/548/EWG and 1999/45/EG No labelling required According to our current state of knowledge, due to its polymer-bound nature the product does not pose a threat to health or the environment if used according to regulations. Under sentence 9.3 appendix VI RL 67/548/EWG, labelling of the product in the security data sheet is nevertheless required because of its ingredients. This labelling is as follows: Hazard symbol of the composition Xn = Harmful Hazardous components Antimony trioxide R-Phrases R40 Limited evidence of carcinogenic effect 5 / 6 05/2012
