PRECAUTIONARY INFORMATION
Caution: If proper procedures for processing PVC compounds are not followed, processing fumes and vapors can be
liberated at elevated temperatures. The presence of these fumes or vapors may result in exposure. Additionally, the
composition of these fumes or vapors may vary widely according to the individual processing procedures and materials
used. Processors must determine for themselves the appropriate equipment and procedures for their use.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
Primary Routes of Exposure:
Inhalation of process emissions during periods of elevated temperature.
Eye: Vapors or fumes emitted during processes involving elevated temperatures may cause eye irritation. Dust resulting
from the handling of powder may be irritating to the eyes.
Skin Contact: Vapors or fumes emitted during processes involving elevated temperatures may cause skin irritation. Dust
resulting from the handling of powder may be irritating to the skin.
Skin Absorption: This material is initially a dry solid pellet or powder; no absorption is likely to occur in its initial form.
Vapors or fumes emitted during processes involving elevated temperatures may absorb through the skin at low levels.
Ingestion: Slightly toxic by ingestion. Powder form may become airborne during handling, resulting in the potential for
incidental ingestion. Vapors or fumes emitted during processes involving elevated temperature may be ingested at low levels.
Adequate ventilation should be provided.
Inhalation: Powder form may become airborne during handling, resulting in potential inhalation exposure. Vapors or
fumes emitted during processes involving elevated temperatures may be inhaled if not adequately ventilated.
