The shell material of the light bulb is composed of Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). It has a melting temperature
of ~500°F. Generally continuous external flame source is needed to initiate or sustain combustion.
Reactivity Data
The PBT is a stable thermoplastic solid compound, and will not undergo hazardous polymerization.
Health Hazard Data
Not Applicable to the intact lamp. Breakage of the cover will not result in any release of material. The luminescent materials
are contained in the glass tube, which is inside the cover. Breakage of the tube may result in some exposure to phosphor
powder dust and mercury. No adverse effects are expected from occasional exposure to broken lamps,
but as a matter of good practice prolonged or frequent exposure should be avoided through the use of adequate ventilation
during disposal of large number of lamps.
