Product catalog summary

1. Product Identification

Product Name: DynaFlex® Glacier™ Copolyester

Use: Intended for plastics manufacturing.

Supplier: DYNAFLEX, St. Louis, MO, USA

Emergency Contact: +1-314-426-4020

2. Hazard Identification

The product is classified as a combustible dust hazard. It may form combustible dust concentrations in air if fine particles are generated during processing or handling. The signal word is "Warning." Proper disposal of contents and containers at approved facilities is recommended to mitigate risks.

3. Composition

The material consists entirely (100% w/w) of a proprietary polymer.

4. First Aid Measures

  • Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air; treat symptoms; seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
  • Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water; if molten material contacts skin, cool rapidly without peeling solidified product; burns require medical treatment.
  • Eye Contact: Rinse immediately with water and seek medical advice.
  • Ingestion: Seek medical advice promptly.

5. Fire-Fighting Measures

  • Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, or CO2.
  • Do Not Use: Solid water streams, as they may spread the fire.
  • Hazards: Risk of dust explosion if fine dust is dispersed in air near ignition sources.
  • Protective Equipment: Use positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and standard protective gear.

6. Accidental Release Measures

  • Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
  • Contain spills and notify authorities if spill is large.
  • Sweep up and collect material for proper disposal.

7. Handling and Storage

  • Minimize dust generation and accumulation.
  • Use exhaust ventilation systems.
  • Wash thoroughly after handling.
  • Store in tightly closed containers to prevent contamination and dust dispersion.

8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

  • No established occupational exposure limits.
  • Maintain good ventilation with recommended 10 air changes per hour.
  • Use respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate.
  • Wear suitable gloves (heat resistant if handling hot material), safety glasses, face shield for molten material, and protective clothing.
  • Ensure accessibility of eye wash stations and safety showers.

9. Physical and Chemical Properties

  • Appearance: Colorless pellets
  • Odor: Slight
  • Softening Point: >100°C (212°F)
  • Flash Point: Not applicable (combustible solid)
  • Autoignition Temperature: 454°C (849°F)
  • Relative Density: >1 (estimated)
  • Water Solubility: Negligible
  • Thermal Stability: Stable under normal operating temperatures

10. Stability and Reactivity

  • Chemically stable under normal conditions.
  • Avoid dust accumulation and contact with strong oxidizers.
  • Hazardous decomposition products include carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.

11. Toxicological Information

  • Not classified for acute toxicity, skin or eye irritation, sensitization, reproductive toxicity, or carcinogenicity.
  • Molten material can cause severe burns to skin and eyes.
  • No known aspiration or inhalation toxicity.

12. Ecological Information

No available data on ecotoxicity, biodegradability, bioaccumulation, or environmental mobility.

13. Disposal Considerations

Dispose of waste and residues in accordance with local regulations and approved waste disposal facilities.

14. Transport Information

  • Not regulated as dangerous goods by IATA, IMDG, or US DOT.
  • Not subject to bulk transport regulations under MARPOL or IBC Code.

15. Regulatory Information

  • No components subject to CERCLA or SARA 302/304/313 reporting requirements.
  • Classified as combustible dust under SARA 311/312.
  • Not listed under California Proposition 65.
  • Complies with multiple international chemical inventories including DSL, AICS, ENCS, ISHL, KECI, PICCS, IECSC, TCSI, and TSCA.

16. Other Information

Includes definitions of abbreviations such as GHS, OSHA, IARC, NFPA, HMIS, and others for clarity.

Critical Safety Notes: Avoid dust generation and accumulation to prevent explosion hazards. Molten material causes severe burns. Use appropriate PPE and ensure adequate ventilation during handling.

Abbreviations and Terminology

  • Composition Temperature: Temperature related to chemical composition.
  • SARA: US Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act.
  • SDS: Safety Data Sheet.
  • TCSI: Taiwan Chemical Substance Inventory.
  • TSCA: Toxic Substances Control Act (US).
