MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET IDENTIFICATION PRODUCT NAME: Corflute® sheet 1.9mm – 10.5m HAZARDS CLASSIFICATION: NOT CLASSIFIED AS HAZARDOUS ACCORDING TO CRITERIA OF NOHSC, DANGEROUS GOODS CLASS, HAZCHEM CODING AND POISONS SCHEDULES DO NOT APPLY TO THIS MATERIAL PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION AND PROPERTIES (Typical Figures) APPEARANCE AND ODOUR: Twin wall polypropylene sheet (Black, White & Grey) CHEMICAL REACTIVITY: Stable. Reacts with strong oxidizing agents. At processing temperatures, some degree of degradation will occur. Although highly dependent on temperature and environmental conditions a variety of decomposition products may be present ranging from simple hydrocarbons (such as methane and propane) to toxic/irritating gases (carbon monoxide and dioxide, acrolein, acids, ketones, aldehydes).

INGREDIENTS Chemical Name CAS Number Proportion Polypropylene/ethylene copolymer 9010-79-1 >94% Additives for process and long-term stabilisation, polymer modification aids <6% FIRST AID SWALLOWED: No specific measures are required in case of ingestion of the product. EYE: If irritation occurs, hold eyes open and flood with water for 15 mins. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. SKIN/BURNS Should be cooled with cold water or ice. Do not use ice or cold packs if burned area covers more than 10% of the body as this may contribute to the shock. Leave burned area uncovered. DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE SOLIDIFIED PRODUCT FROM THE SKIN. Seek immediate medical advice. INHALED: Treatment not ordinarily required. If a large number of fumes are inhaled, keep the patient in a well-ventilated area. If symptoms persist, seek medical advice. ADVICE TO DOCTOR: BURNS- No attempt should be made to remove the solidified product (it acts as a sterile dressing). FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES: EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Extinguish fire with foam, chemical powder, carbon dioxide, water spray or water fog. FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD: Combustible substance, will not burn unless preheated. Moulded parts generally burn slowly with a low smoke density and flaming drips. Under certain conditions it can burn with a high smoke density. Smoke from burning polypropylene can contain various levels of toxic gases, depending on the amount of oxygen present. Fire fighters should wear Self – Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) and full protective clothing to prevent exposure to vapors, fumes or products of combustion. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION HEALTH EFFECTS: ACUTE At room temperature the product is not an irritant and does not liberate dangerous fumes. In its molten state the material will have a temperature in excess of 150 °C and will cause severe burns. Pre-existing eye and respiratory complaints may be aggravated by exposure to product fines (powder) and/or fumes in the case of a fire.

Nothing herein shall be construed as a recommendation to use any product in conflict with existing industrial property rights covering any material or its use. SWALLOWED: The material is considered non-toxic and no specific measures are required in case of ingestion. EYE: I the event of fire, product fines and vapors may cause irritation to eyes. Rinse eye with cold running water for several minutes then seek medical advice. SKIN: Contact with molten material can cause severe burns. INHALED: I the event of fire, product fines and vapor may cause irritation to the respiratory system. CHRONIC Limited toxicological studies show no signs of toxicity to animals. No data is available for humans. SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION STORAGE AND TRANSPORT: Store in a cool, dry place, away from strong oxidizing agents. Minimize accumulation of dust. Polypropylene is not defined as a Dangerous Good by the Australian Code of the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road and Rail. SPILLS AND DISPOSAL: Caution: it is easy to slide and lose footing on granule spillages. Clean up immediately. Shovel and sweep up, or use an industrial vacuum cleaner. Put into containers for reclaiming or disposal. Not biodegradable. Do not allow environmental contamination. For molten product- Hose with water and allow to cool. Scoop up solidified material and place in containers for reclaim. Refer to local waste management authority for landfill and incineration guidelines.
