EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
There are no significant health hazards from vinyl compound at ambient temperature. Inhalation of decomposition or combustion products,
especially hydrogen chloride, will cause irritation of the respiratory tract, eyes and skin. Depending on the severity of exposure, physiological
response will be coughing, pain and inflammation. Individuals with bronchial asthma and other types of chronic respiratory diseases may
develop bronchspasm if exposure is prolonged.

lack of cooling capacity, which may result in reignition.
Firefighting Instructions: Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Personnel not having suitable respiratory
protection must leave the area to prevent significant exposure to toxic combustion gases from any source. In enclosed or poorly ventilated
areas, wear SCBA during clean-up immediately after a fire as well as during the attack phase of firefighting operations.
