Production
Royal Building Products is part of Westlake Chemical. We offer a unique manufacturing opportunity in our vertical
integration from raw materials from our parent company Westlake Chemical through to manufacturing and on to
distribution. The ingredients are dispersed, bound, and encapsulated within the polymer matrix of the profile and are not
released in significant amounts under normal end-use conditions.
Health Effects and Exposure Potential
The product, as supplied, does not cause health effects or have exposure potential; however, processing or heating the
product may cause health concerns. Processing, such as sawing, sanding, and abrasive applications, may create dusts that
have the potential to cause mechanical injury to the eye. If the product is heated to elevated temperatures, or if under fire
conditions, thermal degradation of the polymer matrix may occur and result in the release of thermal decomposition
products such as methyl methacrylate monomers and hydrogen chloride. Under certain conditions, methyl methacrylate
monomer may cause skin, eye, and respiratory tract irritation, central nervous system depression, and skin and respiratory
sensitization in susceptible individuals. Under certain conditions, hydrogen chloride may cause skin burns, eye damage and
respiratory tract irritation.
Environmental Effects
The product is expected to decompose very slowly in the natural environment.
Safe Handling, Storage, and Disposal
The product, as supplied, does not cause adverse health effects or have exposure potential; rather, the hazards associated
with handling and storing the product are physical in nature. If dusting occurs from handling or processing the product,
dust accumulation and potential sources of ignition such as static discharges should be addressed by the user to prevent
fire or explosion from suspended, finely divided particles.
When stored, the product should be kept clear of walkways and floors to prevent tripping hazards. The product should be
disposed of or recycled in accordance with applicable federal, state/provincial, and local regulations. It should not be
disposed into sewers, onto the ground, or into any body of water.
Fire and Explosion Hazards
The product, as supplied, is not a fire or explosion hazard. However, processing the product, such as sawing, sanding, and
abrasive applications, may cause dust accumulation. Potential sources of ignition, such as static discharges, may cause fire
or explosion from suspended, finely divided particles.
Water, foam or dry chemical are appropriate extinguishing media. Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective
equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode due to
potentially hazardous thermal decomposition products. In fire conditions, the product may produce irritating or toxic
