Reason: Quality.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Measures:
Engineering controls are not usually necessary if good hygiene practices are followed.
Respiratory Protection:
Where exposures are below the established exposure limit, no respiratory protection is required. Where exposures
exceed the established exposure limit, use respiratory protection recommended for the material and level of exposure.

Skin Protection:
Avoid skin contact. Wear impermeable gloves.
Hand Protection:
Wear impermeable gloves. Replace gloves immediately when torn or any change in appearance (dimension, colour,
flexibility etc) is noticed.
Polyimide Film SDS: 0059730 Date Prepared: 02/06/2017 Page 3 of 8
Additional Advice:
Before eating, drinking, or smoking, wash face and hands thoroughly with soap and water. It is recommended that a
shower be taken after completion of workshift especially if significant contact has occurred. Work clothing should then be
laundered prior to reuse. Street clothing should be stored separately from work clothing and protective equipment. Work
clothing and shoes should not be taken home.
Exposure Limit(s)
The below constituents are the only constituents of the product which have a PEL, TLV or other recommended exposure
limit. At this time, the other constituents have no known exposure limits.

13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Polyimide Film SDS: 0059730 Date Prepared: 02/06/2017
The acute oral (rat) and acute dermal (rabbit) LD50 values for N,N-Dimethylacetamide (DMAC) are 4300 mg/kg and 2240
mg/kg, respectively. The acute 1-hour (rat) inhalation LC50 value for this material is 2470 ppm (2.2 mg/L/4hr). DMAC is
moderately irritating to rabbit skin and eyes. Dosages of 65 mg/kg (oral), 250 mg/kg (dermal) and 100 ppm (inhalation)
have been reported as No Observed Effects Level (NOEL) in developmental toxicity studies. Higher doses by the same
routes of exposure have been reported to cause fetotoxicity, developmental and reproductive toxicity. In addition,
paternal defects in males (testes, epididymis) were also reported. Repeated and long term oral, dermal and inhalation
exposures to DMAC resulted in liver and kidney damage. No carcinogenic activity was demonstrated in rats given 1000
mg/kg/day of DMAC for two years in drinking water. This material was not mutagenic in bacterial and mammalian cell
cultures.

13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
The information on RCRA waste classification and disposal methodology provided below applies only to the product, as
supplied. If the material has been altered or contaminated, or it has exceeded its recommended shelf life, the guidance
may be inapplicable. Hazardous waste classification under federal regulations (40 CFR Part 261 et seq) is dependent
upon whether a material is a RCRA “listed hazardous waste” or has any of the four RCRA “hazardous waste
characteristics.” Refer to 40 CFR Part 261.33 to determine if a given material to be disposed of is a RCRA “listed
hazardous waste”; information contained in Section 15 of this MSDS is not intended to indicate if the product is a “listed
hazardous waste.” RCRA Hazardous Waste Characteristics: There are four characteristics defined in 40 CFR Section
261.21-61.24: Ignitability, Corrosivity, Reactivity, and Toxicity. To determine Ignitability, see Section 9 of this MSDS
(flash point). For Corrosivity, see Sections 9 and 14 (pH and DOT corrosivity). For Reactivity, see Section 10
(incompatible materials). For Toxicity, see Section 3 (composition). Federal regulations are subject to change. State and
local requirements, which may differ from or be more stringent than the federal regulations, may also apply to the
classification of the material if it is to be disposed. The Company encourages the recycle, recovery and reuse of
materials, where permitted, as an alternate to disposal as a waste. The Company recommends that organic materials
classified as RCRA hazardous wastes be disposed of by thermal treatment or incineration at EPA approved facilities.
The Company has provided the foregoing for information only; the person generating the waste is responsible for
determining the waste classification and disposal method.
