---------------------------------------------------------------------- FIRST AID MEASURES ---------------------------------------------------------------------- First Aid

INHALATION

No specific intervention is indicated as the compound is not likely to be hazardous by inhalation.

However, if exposed to fumes from overheating or combustion, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician if necessary.

(FIRST AID MEASURES - Continued)

SKIN CONTACT

The compound is not likely to be hazardous by skin contact but cleansing the skin after use is advisable.

If molten material gets on skin, cool rapidly with cold water. Do not attempt to remove material from skin. Obtain medical treatment for thermal burn.

EYE CONTACT

In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician.

INGESTION

Ingestion is not an expected route of exposure during normal use of the product. If ingested, consult a physician immediately.

Notes to Physicians

Prolonged eye irritation may occur from pieces of debris sticking to the eyeball or eyelids.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Flammable Properties

Films can be combusted only by remaining in contact with flame. If flame source is stationary, the film will shrink away and self-extinguish. Film remaining in contact with flame can continue to burn slowly, dropping flaming liquid which can spread the fire.

Irritating fumes may be evolved at decomposition temperatures.

During processing, films may pick up a strong static charge. Avoid discharge onto dust or solvent laden air as a flash fire or explosion may result.

Extinguishing Media

Use media appropriate for surrounding material.

Fire Fighting Instructions

Keep personnel removed and upwind of fire. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear full protective equipment.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Safeguards (Personnel)

NOTE: Review FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES and HANDLING (PERSONNEL) sections before proceeding with clean-up. Use appropriate PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT during clean-up.

Spill Clean Up

Films and film scraps can create a slipping hazard. Collect product for recovery or disposal.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- HANDLING AND STORAGE ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Handling (Personnel)

Do not breathe vapors or fumes that may be evolved during processing.

Avoid skin contact with sharp film edges.

Handling (Physical Aspects)

Rolls of film may telescope. Use caution when handling.

Rolled film should be stored at intended processing temperature for approximately 24 hours prior to use.

Plastic packaging materials can pick up static charge. Polyester film rolls packaged with shrinkwrap (or other plastic overwrap) should be opened or unwrapped only in non-process areas where ignition sources such as solvents are not in use or in storage.

Storage

Store away from heat and sources of ignition. Do not store in direct sunlight. Avoid prolonged storage in high or low temperatures. Recommended storage temperatures are 20 F (-7 C) to 100F (38 C).

---------------------------------------------------------------------- EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Engineering Controls

General exhaust is acceptable except where overheating can occur during processing. Remove fumes released by decomposition with local exhaust if overheating occurs.

Movement of film over metal or rollers will produce a surface static charge on the film. Consider processing design and procedures that will reduce or dissipate this

(EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION - Continued)

charge, and eliminate the possibility of unwanted electrical discharge to people, equipment and materials.

Personal Protective Equipment

EYE/FACE PROTECTION

Wear safety glasses.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION

Respirators are not needed for normal use.

Where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits, a NIOSH approved respirator should be selected based on the form and concentration of the contaminant in air and in accordance with OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard CFR 1910.134.

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING

If there is potential for contact with hot/molten material, wear heat resistant impervious clothing and footwear.

Special protective clothing is not needed for normal use. Gloves are recommended as good industrial practice.

Material Safety Data Sheet HOSTAPHAN® POLYESTER FILM NUMBER G00001 DIAFOIL® POLYESTER FILM Issue Date: October 2, 1995 Revised: May 30, 2008 Emergency Contact For Emergency Call 1-800-334-5902 in the U.S. Product Identification Polyester film is polyethylene terephthalate (CAS# 25038-59-9). This MSDS applies to all Hostaphan and Diafoil polyester films, with the exception of DE series and pigmented films which have separate MSDS’s. Hazardous Ingredients None as defined under the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, 29CFR1910.1200 or S.A.R.A. Title III, Section 313. This material is considered an article under OSHA and TSCA standards. Low levels of acetaldehyde (CAS# 75-07-0) are present in the film. Under normal use conditions, release would be well below OSHA limits. Established exposure limits for acetaldehyde are: ACGIH TLV = 25 ppm (ceiling) OSHA PEL = 200 ppm TWA Physical-Chemical Data The clear, odorless film is chemically stable and resistant to attack by oils, solvents, weak acids and weak alkalis. The film melts in the range of 255°-260°C. It decomposes at 300°C. It has a specific gravity of 1.4. Physical Hazards Heavy gauges of polyester film can contain sharp edges. Proper protective gear, such as gloves, is recommended. Silicone coated grades of polyester film can create a slip hazard. Walking areas should be kept clear of the film. Unwinding, winding and passage of polyethylene terephthalate film through and over rollers will tend to generate a strong electrostatic charge on the web. Static discharge devices should be properly positioned at such points to eliminate the charge and to prevent uncontrolled discharge from the web. This is particularly required in potentially explosive atmospheres and to protect personnel from the effect of a static discharge. Certain antistat grades are available.

Health Hazard Data No adverse health effects have been attributed to polyester film. Hazard Designations KEY NFPA 0-None Health: 0 1-Slight Flammability: 1 2-Moderate Reactivity: 0 3-Severe 4-Extreme Control Measures and Safe Handling Procedures The film will burn if exposed to flame. Fire fighters should protect themselves from decomposition and combustion products that may include acetaldehyde, carbon monoxide and other toxic gases. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and complete personal protective equipment when potential for exposure to products of combustion exists. Fire fighting extinguishing media include carbon dioxide, water spray, foam or dry chemical. If the film could be subjected to conditions releasing acetaldehyde, then adequate ventilation should be used to stay below the TLV, or self-contained breathing apparatus should be used. Disposal and Shipping Information Polyester film is not classified as a hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and, unless prohibited by state or local regulation, can be disposed of in a municipal landfill or incinerated. This product is not classified by the Department of Transportation as a hazardous material. Information Contact Mitsubishi Polyester Film, Inc. Environmental, Safety, and Health Affairs P. O.
