Regrind Dylark SMA Health risk?

Regrind Dylark SMA Health risk?

Regrind Dylark SMA Health risk?

(OP)
Although i am not involved on the plastic processing side of the company i work for, i have a question which im hoping someone can answer.

We process large quantities of Dylark SMA/equivalent regrind material, which is full of dust. Does anyone know of any associated health risks as the company insists it is harmless, the dust is so bad you can taste/see it in the air.

         Regards

RE: Regrind Dylark SMA Health risk?

You should be able to obtain saftey data from the manufacturer of the Dylark. It is many years since I saw Dylark used, so I forget who manufacturers it, but it was once specified in a food contact application, which indicates it is probably OK, but it is very wise to check, and to make sure the safety data is for the grade you use, as even though the base resin might be OK, additives and imputities might cause problems.
