General Health and Safety

1. Identification of Components

• Synthetic rubber product.
• Surface coated in lubricant / release agent.
• Stainless steel bands.

2. Composition

• Couplings assembled from a wide range of components.
• Synthetic rubber products based on generally accepted compounding principles.
• Lubricant/release agent typically composed of >35% silicone ww, Water >50% ww, Surfactants <5% ww.

3. Hazards Identification

• None Hazardous.
• Slight irritation may occur through continuous prolonged contact with lubricant or rubber.

4. First Aid Measures

• Skin contact: Wash with soap and water.
• Eye contact: Irrigate with water.
• Seek medical advice if persists.

5. Fire Hazards

• Not highly flammable.

6. Accidental Release Measures

• N/A

7. Handling and Storage (normal use)

• When coated with silicone avoid contact with eyes.
• Store rubber products away from direct sunlight, strong artificial light, radiation and ozone.

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection (normal use)

• Hand protection can be used during handling and assembly.

9. Physical and Chemical Properties

• N/A for general use.

10. Stability and Reactivity

• Conditions to avoid: None known
• Materials to avoid: Strong oxidizing agents
• Hazardous decomposition: On burning lubricant produces carbon and silicone oxides, rubber produces dense smoke containing toxic gases.

11. Toxicology Information

• The silicone coating may produce irritation to the eye and to a lesser extent the skin.

12. Ecological Information

• Not known.

13. Disposal Information

• Send to approved landfill.

14. Transport Information

• No special requirements.

15. Regulatory Information

• Not regulated.

16. Other Information

• The above information is correct to the best of our knowledge at the date of issue.
