POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
1 Primary routes of exposure
1.1. Inhalation of emissions during processing at elevated temperature.
2 Eye
2.1. Vapors or fumes emitted during processing at elevated temperatures may
cause eye irritation. Dust may cause eye irritation from handling.
3 Skin Contact
3.1. Vapors or fumes emitted during processing at elevated temperatures may cause
skin irritation. Dust resulting from powder handling may cause skin irritation.
4 Skin Absorption
4.1. The compound in pellet form is a dry solid material. Absorption into the skin is
unlikely in its initial form.
4.2. Vapors or fumes during processing may absorb through the skin at low
levels.
5 Ingestion
5.1. Slightly toxic by ingestion. Airborne dust may occur during handling,
resulting in incidental ingestion. Vapors or fumes emitted during processing
at elevated temperatures may be ingested at low levels. Adequate
ventilation should be provided.
6 Inhalation
6.1. Airborne dust may occur during handling, which can result in a potential
inhalation exposure. Vapors or fumes emitted during processing at elevated
temperatures may be inhaled if not adequately ventilated.
PRECAUTIONARY INFORMATION
Caution: If proper procedures for processing PVC compounds are not followed, processing vapors
can be liberated at elevated temperatures. The presence of these 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 operation.
