Volatile component: (% Vol): 0% pH (1% aqueous solution): not applicable Solubility in water: Nil Product Exposure Limits: One month exposure to UV light when removed from packaging Fire and Explosion data Flash Point (method use): no data Auto ignition Temperature: no data Decomposition Temperature: >300 deg.C Page 1 of 3 Flammable Limits: % LEL – not applicable % VEL – not applicable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical fire extinguisher Fire fighting Procedures: use self contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing Flame Exposure: when exposed to flame, trackmat will burn briefly but due to nature of polyester, the flames will not propagate. Rather the fabric will melt and flow away from the area of maximum heat. Fire Decomposition Products: burns slowly with a yellow smokey flame, floral (ester) odour, molten material drips, producing mainly carbon dioxide, water and carbon monoxide. Health Hazard Information Symptoms of Exposure – acute and chronic effects Swallowed: ingestion unlikely - expected to be low toxicity Eye: in solid form Skin: in solid form Inhaled: in solid form Emergency and First Aid Procedures: Swallowed: no special measures are necessary Eye: no special measures are necessary Skin: no special measures are necessary Inhaled: no special measures are necessary Notes to physician: No known toxilogical hazard in solid form Spill or leak Procedures Minor: N/A Major: N/A Disposal: eg. Non-hazardous solid waste, assure informity with local Government regulations or dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor to a regulated landfill.
