Section 4 - First-Aid Measures |
| Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: None known. |
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures |
| Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide blanket, water spray, dry powder, foamnone. |
| Fire Fighting Procedures: Fullface self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) used in positive pressure mode should be worn to prevent inhalation of airborne contaminants. |
| Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: May emit hydrogen chloride (HCl) or Carbon Monoxide (CO) under fire conditions. Carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO) oxides of nitrogen (NOx), other hazardous materials, and smoke are all possible. |
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures |
| Steps to be Taken if Material is Released or Spilled: Wear appropriate personal protection during cleanup, such as impervious gloves, boots and coveralls. |
| Personal Precautions: |
| Environmental Precautions: |
Section 7 - Handling and Storage |
| General Handling: Keep containers dry and tightly closed to avoid moisture absorption and contamination. Keep in a dry, cool place. |
| Other Precautions: |
| Storage: Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge. Heat only in areas with appropriate exhaust ventilation. |
Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection | |||||
| |||||
Personal Protection | |||||
| Eye/Face Protection: Goggles or safety glasses. | |||||
| Skin Protection: Not normally required | |||||
| Respiratory Protection: No personal respiratory protective equipment is normally required. | |||||
| Hygenic Measures: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygeine and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday. | |||||
| Other Protection Measures: Long sleeved clothing | |||||
| Engineering Controls: No special ventilation is usually necessary. If ventilation cannot be acquired, wear NIOSH approved respirator. | |||||
Section 9 - Physical and Chemical Properties | |

Section 10 - Stability and Reactivity |
| Stability/Instability: Stable |
| Conditions To Avoid: Keep away from oxidizing agents and open flame. To avoid thermal decomposition, do not overheat. |
| Incompatible Materials: Incompatible with strong acids and oxidizing agents. Avoid contact with acetal homopolymers and acetal copolymers during process |
| Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur |
| Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), other hazardous materials, and smoke are all possible. Prolonged heating abouve 392F (200C) may result in product decomposition and evolution of carbon monoxide and hydrogen chloride. |
