ETC 12200

Description:
Desco’s conductive foam is a non-abrasive, open-cell(closed cell in cross linked)
polyurethane foam compounded for permanent ESD Control Properties. The
black conductive foam’s Rtt range of 10E3 to 10E6 allows it to be used with ESD
susceptible products. Desco’s conductive foam is available in 3 designs:
Low Density, High Density,
and Cross Linked

Fire
Spray with water
Product in eye Irrigate with water
Product on skin Not applicable
Product ingested Rinse mouth with water and obtain medical attention
Product inhaled Not applicable
Spillage
Treat as garbage
COMPOSITION
Crosslinked polyethylene: 90-93%
Carbon black: 7-10%
HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
Occupational exposure limits: None
