Safety:
Low-density polyethylene is an inert commercial polymer and under normal handling induces no hazard. Product storage must be in accordance with MSDS procedure. The working people should avoid skin or eyes contact with molten polymer. As a minimal precaution to prevent eyes injury, safety glasses are indicated.
Fabrication areas should be well ventilated. Workplace environments should be kept clean and free of dust.
- Fire hazard:
Low-density polyethylene is a combustible substance, but under normal storage conditions there is no ignition hazard. In contact with flame it becomes soft, flows, ignites and burns with a light flame until exhausting. Therefore it has to be handled and stored avoiding contacts with open flames or other ignition sources. While burning, it releases high heat and a dense black smoke. In closed areas, fire fighters must use self-contained breathing apparatus.
- Recycling:
Low-density polyethylene is a recyclable material. It is recommended to recycle production rejects and wastes instead of disposal.
- Disposal:
Disposal of any wastes should respect all national and local valid regulations. The below information are related to Low density polyethylene homopolymer. The influence of the additives, fillers or other materials added by buyers must be taken into consideration using the related documentation. Low-density polyethylene homopolymer can be disposed by burying or by controlled incineration, respecting valid regulations regarding gaseous emission or solid particles discharges. Due to the high level of heat enduced, incineration has to be done only in dedicated units. In case of interring: low density polyethylene is inert, does not degrade quickly, form a strong and permanent soil base and does not release gases or other compounds known to pollute water resources.
