Main Ingredient: Polyquinone, 98-100% Residual Monomers: Aniline derivatives, less than 0.5% Additives: Stabilizers, less than 1% Impurities: None expected above threshold reporting limits Hazardous Components: None present in concentrations requiring disclosure under GHS
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, keep at rest, consult medical attention if symptoms persist Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash skin with soap and plenty of water, seek medical help if irritation develops Eye Contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, remove contact lenses, get medical advice if discomfort continues Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, seek immediate medical guidance Important Symptoms: Itching, redness, irritation, coughing, respiratory discomfort Immediate Medical Attention: Available if exposure leads to persistent symptoms or accidental ingestion
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, CO2, foam, water spray Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Direct water jet on concentrated burning polymer Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, aromatic fumes Special Protective Equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus, protective fire clothing Special Hazards: Polymer dust can create explosive atmospheres if mixed with air Firefighter Advice: Move containers from fire area if safe, use water spray to cool surfaces, prevent runoff entering drains
Personal Precautions: Ventilate area, avoid raising dust, wear appropriate protective equipment (gloves, goggles, mask) Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage from entering drains or water bodies Cleanup Methods: Use non-sparking tools, sweep up material, place in labeled container for disposal Containment: Dampen spilled powder with water if safe to avoid dust formation Emergency Procedures: Evacuate non-essential personnel, restrict area until cleanup is complete
Handling: Handle in well-ventilated areas, avoid direct contact, use proper PPE for skin and eye protection, minimize dust generation Storage: Keep container tightly closed in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated place, maintain away from sources of ignition and strong oxidizers Incompatibility: Strong acids, strong bases, oxidizing agents Specific Storage Conditions: Store below 30°C, avoid moisture exposure Safe Transfer: Ground and bond containers to prevent static discharge, transfer slowly to minimize dust
Exposure Limits: Polyquinone—no established limits; Dust—ACGIH TLV (Inhalable Particulates): 10 mg/m³ Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation or fume hood, sealed processing of powder Personal Protection: Nitrile gloves, safety goggles, dust mask or NIOSH-approved respirator Eye/Face Protection: Safety glasses with side shields Skin Protection: Lab coat, chemical-resistant apron for bulk handling Respiratory Protection: P100 particulate filter or equivalent when dust is present Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after use, remove contaminated clothing, do not eat, drink, or smoke during handling
Form: Fine powder or granules Color: Deep brown to black Odor: Faint aromatic Melting Point: >280°C (decomposes) Boiling Point: Not applicable (decomposes) Solubility: Insoluble in water, soluble in some organic solvents Density: 1.3 to 1.5 g/cm³ Flash Point: Not applicable (solid material) pH: Not measurable (insoluble in water) Vapor Pressure: Negligible at ambient conditions Auto-ignition Temperature: >400°C Partition Coefficient: Not applicable Viscosity: Not applicable
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage and handling conditions Reactivity: Non-reactive in bulk; dust may present explosion risk in air Thermal Decomposition: Releases CO, CO2, and other organic vapors at high temperatures Hazardous Reactions: Contact with strong oxidizers could cause fire or explosion Conditions to Avoid: Heat, sparks, open flames, static discharge Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, alkalis, oxidizing agents Polymerization: Will not occur under normal processing
Likely Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin contact, eye contact Acute Effects: Eye irritation, skin sensitization, respiratory irritation Chronic Effects: Long-term inhalation of dust may cause respiratory issues LD50 (oral/rat): Not established Carcinogenicity: No IARC, NTP, or OSHA listings Mutagenicity: No data available Reproductive Toxicity: No evidence of reproductive risk based on available studies Sensitization: May cause allergic skin response in sensitive individuals Medical Conditions Aggravated: Pre-existing skin or respiratory disorders
Environmental Hazards: Not classified as environmentally hazardous Aquatic Toxicity: No data on polyquinone-specific toxicity; assumed low risk due to insolubility Persistence and Degradability: Not readily biodegradable, persists in soil/sediment Bioaccumulative Potential: Low due to limited solubility Mobility in Soil: Limited mobility, sinks in water, binds to particulates Special Precautions: Avoid release to the environment, contain spills promptly Other Comments: Wastewater filters effective in removing insoluble particles
Disposal Method: Collect waste material in sealed containers, hand over to licensed hazardous waste disposal contractor Contaminated Packaging: Triple rinse and dispose in accordance with local, state, federal laws Do Not: Release large quantities into drains, watercourses, or soil Recycle/Reuse Options: Check with manufacturer for take-back programs Local Legislation: Compliance with all applicable hazardous waste regulations required Incineration: Only in approved facilities with adequate emission controls
UN Number: Not regulated as dangerous goods for transport DOT Classification: Non-hazardous for land transport IMDG/IATA: Not regulated by international shipping codes Packaging: Use moisture-proof, anti-static containers Special Precautions: Secure containers upright, prevent dust release during transit Other Info: Transport with material Safety Data Sheet accessible in emergency situations
US Regulations: SARA Title III—Not listed; TSCA—Listed; OSHA—Hazard Communication Standard applies EU Regulations: REACH—Registered, does not meet criteria for SVHC Canada (WHMIS): Classified as hazardous (sensitizer, eye irritant) Labeling Requirements: GHS-compliant labeling mandatory Other Regulations: Disposal restricted; occupational exposure limits for nuisance dust may apply Training: All personnel must complete chemical safety training prior to handling Recordkeeping: Maintain inventory and exposure records for regulatory inspections
