GENERAL:
DT320 is considered safe and inert. No hazards are anticipated providing good standards of industrial hygiene and housekeeping are observed.
COMPOSITION:
Primary raw materials used in the construction of tapes are paper; films (such as polyethylene, polypropylene and polyester); glass fibre; synthetic and natural cloths; scrims; aluminium foils and foams.
Adhesives are formulated from thermoplastic rubbers, tackifying resins, acrylates, fillers, whilst other components in smaller quantities include silicones, process oils and preservatives.
STORAGE AND HANDLING (SAFETY PRECAUTIONS):
Safe methods of storage and handling should be applied along with good standards of housekeeping. Discarded release liner can be a slip hazard on any floor space. Allergic reactions by skin contact are unlikely. However, should they occur, the individual should be removed from further contact.
Advice should be sought for special applications such as toys, direct food or skin contact.
FIRE CONTACT:
Adhesive tapes are combustible in the event of contact with fire. It is important to ensure the absence of sources of ignition during transportation, handling and in storage areas. if the tapes burn, irritating and harmful fumes and smoke will be evolved. breathing apparatus should be used during fire fighting and rescue work.
DISPOSAL:
Products can be disposed of on a legal tip in compliance with Local and National Regulations. Incineration in regulated furnace equipment is also possible.
