Handling Recommendations
Do not add water or solvent to the melted adhesive. Prohibit sources of sparks and ignition. Take precaution against accumulation of electrostatic charges. Do not smoke. Keep well away from naked flames.
The chemical constituents of the product are not volatile at room temperature, but fumes are emitted even when the prescribed working temperature is strictly maintained. Sometimes unpleasant odours are given off during the melting operation. If the prescribed working temperature is considerably exceeded for a prolonged period, there is the risk of harmful degradation products being produced. Therefore,
at the application temperature,
we recommend avoiding inhalation, to keep the tank closed and we encourage the use of a local exhaust ventilation system over the pre-melt reservoir. The adhesive does not contain toxic substances.
Consult the Material Safety Data Sheet of the product before using.
First Aid Measures
