1. Product and company identification
Commercial product name: Bio-Infinitum
2. Composition and information on ingredients
This product is a chemical substance.
Chemical characterisation (eventually with synonyms): Polyoxymethylene copolymer (Polyacetal copolymer)
Chemical structure: POM-C    (CH20)n
CAS Nr. ('Chemical Abstract Service Registry Number'): 24969-25-3 or 25214-85-1
3. Hazards identification
Most important hazards: No critical hazards for man and environment in case of normal storing, handling and usage.
Specific hazards: Not applicable.
4. First-aid measures
Inhalation: In case the plastic burns and combustion gases are inhaled, immediately leave the room and get medical help.

Skin contact:

 In case molten material comes in contact with the skin, the skin needs to be rinsed thoroughly with cold water.  Do not try to remove the molten material.  Get medical assistance for the removal of the tacky material and care of the burn.
5. Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media: Water, foam, dry chemical, C02.
Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons: None.
Special exposure hazards arising from the substance or preparation itself, combustion products or resulting gases: See section 10.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: Firemen should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and/or eyes.  If exposed to combustion fumes in a high concentration, bring the victim into fresh air.  If molten material contacts skin, cool rapidly with cold water and obtain medical attention for removal of adhering material and treatment of the burn.
