Substance Safety Summary
SUBSTANCE: Antimony Trioxide
GENERAL STATEMENT
Antimony trioxide is a naturally occurring mineral found in the earth’s crust.
There is no known data indicating
that ATO can readily leach out of the products where it is used in a manner
that represents significant risk for consumers.
EXPOSURE
HUMAN HEALTH SAFETY ASSESSMENT
Human Health Consumers are not likely to be exposed to because it is not sold directly to
consumers nor are sales to consumer markets endorsed.

Many totes, or intermediate bulk containers (IBC), are made with rigid metal or polyethylene plastic caged within steel tubing.
This article will explore how they can provide several sustainable advantages compared to traditional IBC containers, including space & cost savings, waste reduction, and enhanced safety.
Enhanced safety: Other benefits of using collapsible totes can include improved safety features.

Follow up by purging machine with general
purpose PP
• Residence time should not exceed 5 minutes for Maxxam FR products
• General ventilation is suggested
Shut Down
• Purge the equipment with a general purpose PP
• All tooling and equipment must be free of any residual Maxxam FR upon
shut down
• Continue generating parts made from the natural PP until clear
• Wipe down tool steel with mold cleaner
• When using a hot runner system, care must be taken to remove residual
product from the manifold
MOLD DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
Cold Slug Wells
• Place cold slug wells at the base of the sprue to capture the cold material first
emerging from the nozzle
• Place cold slug wells at every 90° bend in the runner system
• Well depths approximately 2–3 times the diameter of the runner provide best
results
Draft Angle • Draft angle should be 1/2°–1° per side.
Tool Steel
• P20 tool steel is acceptable when proper processing and shut down procedures
are followed
• Chrome plating or PH stainless steel is preferred for all halogen-based systems
• The use of stainless steel in hot runner systems is highly suggested
• Avoid the use of aluminum when designing production tools
Vents
• Place vents at the end of fill and anywhere potential knit/weld lines will occur
• All vents need to be vented to atmosphere
• Cut vent depths to 0.0010"–0.0015" with a minimum 0.040" land length.
