PROMAFOAM®-C

HANDLING & STORAGE

Instructions for handling and machining 

• Dust, generated during machining and processing must be exhausted and the regulatory occupational exposure limits for total and respirable dust must be respected. 
• Work in a well ventilated area. 
• Use tools with appropriate dust exhaust equipment. 
• When total dust concentration is higher than occupational exposure limits (refer to local regulations), or when dust extraction is not available, use individual respiratory protective equipment. 
• Collect dust with a vacuum cleaner or soak with water before sweeping up. 

Storage

Store in dry, covered and frost proof area. 

HEALTH & SAFETY

The foam is not expected to have significant acute toxicity. Apart from mild skin, throat, airway or eye irritation, workers producing these boards have reported no significant health complaints. 
As with most types of nuisance dust, excessive inhalation of dust may cause irritation of the airways. Eye contact with dust may lead to transient eye irritation or inflammation. Prolonged skin contact may lead to skin irritation.

FIRST AID MEASURES

• In case of inhalation, leave exposure area immediately and remove to fresh air.
• In case of ingestion, wash mouth out with water and give copious quantities of water. Do not induce vomiting. Obtain medical attention if symptoms develop. 
• In case of skin contact, remove contaminated clothing. Rinse the skin thoroughly with water until no ‘soapy’ feeling remains. Obtain medical attention if necessary.
• In case of eye contact, the eye should be fully irrigated for not less than 30 minutes with clean water. Must seek medical advice.
