Lower Explosive Limit: Not applicable

Upper Explosive Limit: Not applicable

Extinguishing Media: Water, CO2, Dry Chemical, or Foam

Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Do not use methods that may create a dust cloud, such as high pressure water and/or steam

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:

	⎯Organic	components decompose at
	200-455°C	(392-851°F).
	⎯Material may explosively combust when
finely	suspended in air.
	⎯Thermal decomposition of organic

components may result in release of oxides of carbon and nitrogen.

Health Hazards:

1.Styrene-Butyl Acrylate Copolymer Subcutaneous implantation of polymeric styrene

powder in rats has induced tumors at the site of implantation.

(Group 3 “Not Classifiable”; IARC) Overexposure to carbon black is associated with

causing irritation, conjunctivitis, and corneal	hypopla-
sia of the eyes; minor irritation and eczema	of the
skin; and throat irritation and bronchitis.
Long-term inhalation exposure may be	associated
with causing lung cancer.

(Group 3 “Not Classifiable”; IARC) Subcutaneous implantation of polypropylene

powder in rats has induced tumors at the site of implantation.
