SPECIAL FEATURES
MIKROFINE ADC-21 is recommended for use
0.5-3.0 PHR depending on the polymer used and extent of expansion required.
STORAGE
MIKROFINE ADC-21 should be stored
MIKROFINE ADC-21 will burn only when exposed to flame. Thermal decomposition of MIKROFINE ADC-21 causes evolution of fumes resembling smoke. Large quantity of water should be used to fight fire.
TOXICITY
MIKROFINE ADC-21 is of low toxicity by skin contact and is mildly irritating to the eyes. Its decomposition residues are also of low toxicity.
HANDLING
Though MIKROFINE ADC-21 is substantially free from handling problems, care should be taken to prevent its contact with skin and eyes. It is necessary to avoid dusty conditions because of the possiblity of respiratory sensitisation.
PACKING
MIKROFINE ADC-21 packed in 25 kgs HDPE woven bags with polythene liners inside.
