14. First aid measures
Description of first aid measures
General advice
Remove/Take off immediately all contaminated clothing , Wash/Decontaminate removed clothing before reuse .
Inhalation
Aerate with fresh air. When symptoms persist or in all cases of doubt seek medical advice.
Eyes
Resin particles, like other inert materials, are mechanically irritating to eyes. Rinse immediately with plenty of water,
also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention.
Skin
Cool skin rapidly with cold water after contact with molten polymer. If polymer is stuck to skin, do not remove. Allow
adhered polymer to come off naturally. Removal of adhered polymer may result in more tissue damages than if
polymer is allowed to come off over time . When symptoms persist or in all cases of doubt seek medical advice.
Ingestion
Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. Obtain medical attention.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Main symptoms
None known .
Advice for the rescuer
Special note for doctor
This product is essentially inert and non-toxic. Under conditions of thermal decomposition irritant gases may be
formed. Exposed patients may need to have their arterial blood gases and carboxyhemoglobin levels checked
15. Firefighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media
water spray, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide (C02).
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire .

TOPAS® Cyclic Olefin Copolymers
Special hazards
Under conditions giving incomplete combustion, hazardous gases produced may consist of:
carbon monoxide (CO)
carbon dioxide (C02)
Combustion gases of organic materials must in principle be graded as inhalation poisons
Fire precautions and protective measures
Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray
Keep people away from and upwind of fire
Dike and collect water used to fight fire
Special protective equipment for firefighters
Fire fighter protection should include a self-contained breathing apparatus (NIOSH-approved or EN 133) and full
fire-fighting turn out gear.
Personnel precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal precautions
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not breathe dust. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.
For emergency responders: Personal protection see section 8.
Environmental precautions
Not readily biodegradable. Should not be released into the environment. Do not flush into surface water or sanitary
sewer system.
Methods and material used for collection and disposal of leak
Methods for containment
Stop the flow of material, if possible without risk.
Methods for cleaning up
Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal. Like most thermoplastic plastics the product can be
recycled. Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.

Hygiene measures
Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the product Take off all contaminated clothing immediately
Advice on the protection of the environment
See Section 8: Environmental exposure controls
Incompatible products
No special restrictions on storage with other products
Storage
Advice on protection against fire and explosion
Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking . Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge . Dust
can form an explosive mixture in air. Risks of ignition followed by flame propagation or secondary explosions shall be
prevented by avoiding accumulation of dust, e.g . on floors and ledges.
Technical measures/Storage conditions
Keep away from direct sunlight. Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.
