Section 4 - First-Aid Measures |
| Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: None |
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures |
| Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical (preferred), water fog. |
| Fire Fighting Procedures: For fires involving this material, do not enter any enclosed or confined fire space without proper protective equipment, including self-contained breathing apparatus. |
| Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Bulk storage of polyethylene may result in the accumulation of ethylene gas with possible explosion potential. Concentrations of ethylene gas must be kept below the lower explosive limit (LEL) of 2.7%. |
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures |
| Steps to be Taken if Material is Released or Spilled: If liquid material is spilled, allow it to cool and solidify. Place material in disposal containers and dispose of in a manner consistent with applicable regulations. |
| Personal Precautions: |
