3. Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview
These materials have not been evaluated as a whole for health effects. Information provided on
health effects of these products are based on individual components. See sections 3 and f11 for
additional details. This product may contain residual vinyl chloride monomer (VCM, CAS number
75-01-4) below 1ppm (0.0001%). OSHA considers VCM a suspect carcinogen and regulates it
under 29 CFR 1910.1017. It is unlikely, under normal working conditions with adequate
ventilation, that the OSHA action level and the OSHA exposure limits will be exceeded for
residual VCM. However, the user should take the necessary precautions (e.g. mechanical
ventilation, local exhaust ventilation, air- monitoring, respiratory protection, etc.) to ensure
airborne levels of any vapors including VCM or dusts that may be released during heating or
processing are below regulated levels.
Potential Health Effects
-
-
Routes of exposure
o Inhalation, Ingestion, Skin Contact
Acute exposure
o Inhalation
 Resin particles, like other materials, can be mechanically irritating to
respiratory system.
o Ingestion
 Maybe harmful if swallowed
o Eyes
 Resin particles, like other inert materials, are mechanically irritating to eyes
o Skin
 Exposure has shown no unusual dermatitis hazard from routine handling.
Medical conditions Aggravated by exposure
o None known
4. First Aid Measures
-
-
-
-
Inhalation
o Move to fresh air in case of accidental inhalation of fumes from overheating or
combustion. When symptoms persist or in all cases of doubt see medical advice.
Ingestion
o Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. Whey symptoms persist or in all
cases of doubt seek medical advice.
Eyes
o Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15
minutes. If eye irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Skin
o Wash off with soap and plenty of water. If skin irritation persists, seek medical
attention.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
-
-
Flash Point
o 684 degree F
Method Used
o ASTM 1929
Ignition Temperature
o 761 degree F
Extinguish Media
o Water spray or CO2
Special Fire Fighting Procedures
o In the event of a fire, wear NIOSH approved, positive pressure, self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective clothing. Evacuate all personnel from
danger area. Use dry chemical, foam, water or carbon dioxide to extinguish fire.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards
o This product is nonflammable and non-explosive under normal conditions of use. It
will not continue to burn after ignition without an external fire source. When forced to
burn, the major gaseous products of the combustion of PVC are carbon monoxide,
carbon dioxide, and hydrogen chloride.
6. Accidental Release Measures
-
-
-
Personal precautions
o Wear appropriate personal protection during clean up, such as impervious gloves,
boots, and coveralls.
Environmental precautions
o Should not be released into the environment. The product should not be allowed to
enter drains, watercourses, or the soil.
Methods for cleaning up
o Clean up promptly by sweeping or vacuum. Package all material in plastic,
cardboard, or metal containers for disposal. Refer to Section 13 of this MSDS for
proper disposal methods.
7. Handling and Storage
-
Handling
o Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid inhalation, and contact with eyes or skins
Storage
o Store in a well-ventilated dry place
8. Stability and Reactivity
-
-
-
Stability
o Stable at room temperatures less than 212°F
Hazardous polymerization
o Will not occur
Conditions to avoid
o Keep away from oxidizing agents and open flame. Do not overheat to avoid thermal
decomposition (usually above 392°F for more than 10 minutes)
Incompatible materials
o Strong acids and oxidizing agents. Avoid mixing or contacting acetyl polymers and
acetyl copolymers during processing.
Hazardous decomposition products
o Carbon dioxide (CO2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NOX)
o Other hazardous materials, and smoke are all possible.
Prolonged heating (>30 minutes or more) above 392°F(200°C) or short term heating
at 482°F(250°C) may result in product decomposition and evolution of carbon
monoxide and hydrogen chloride.
