. Hazard(s) Identification 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.

2. Hazard(s) Identification (continued) HAZARD CLASSIFICATION 1. Acute Effects a. Dust associated with the handling of PVC powder as well as vapors or fumes liberated from PVC compound at high temperatures may be irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract if not adequately ventilated. 2. Chronic Effects a.

Properties Flashpoint Auto-ignition temperature (ASTM D1929) Flammable limits in air (% by volume) Upper: Lower: Extinguishing Media Description > 600ºF +850ºF N/A N/A Water, Dry Chemical Special Firefighting Procedures: Wear NIOSH/MSHA approved self-contained breathing apparatus & full protective clothing in fire conditions. Unusual Fire Hazards: Decomposition by burning (generating HCL gas). 6. Accidental Release Measures 1. Protect People a. Remove unnecessary personnel from the release area.
PAGE 6
1. Advice on Safe Handling a. Use the proper personal protective equipment during handling. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Use good housekeeping practices. 2. Protective measures a. Use methods to minimize generation of dust. Wash thoroughly after handling. PVC resin and compound processing under extreme temperatures beyond normal processing temperatures may result in the release of hydrogen chloride (HCl). Use only in well-ventilated areas. 3. Storage a.

Exposure Guidelines No exposure limits have been established for this material. It is recommended that exposure be kept below the limits for particulates not otherwise classified. OSHA-PEL: 15 mg/M3 8 hr-TWA (total dust) 5 mg/M3 8 hr-TWA (respirable) The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienist (ACGIH) has established a Threshold Limit Value (TLV) (based on an 8-HR TWA exposure) of 1 mg/m3 for the respirable fraction.

1. Stability a. Stable under normal conditions. 2. Polymerization a. Hazardous polymerization does not occur. 3. Conditions to Avoid a. Instantaneous temperatures above 235°C(455°F), prolonged heating at processing temperatures, or excessive shear/heat combinations during processing can generate hazardous decomposition products. 4. Hazardous Decomposition Products a. Overheating may cause thermal degradation of PVC compound.
PAGE 9
1. Aquatic a. No data available. 2. Biodegradation a. Not subject to biodegradation. 3. Ecological toxicity a. Based on the high molecular weight of this polymeric material, transport of this compound across biological membranes is unlikely. b. Accordingly, the probability of environmental toxicity or bioaccumulation in organisms is remote. c. Due caution should be exercised to prevent the accidental release of this material to the environment. 13.

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1017 This compound may contain trace levels (<0.001%) of VCM. Under normal working conditions with adequate ventilation, neither the OSHA-PEL of 1 ppm (8-hr TWA), nor the OSHA-STEL (5.0 ppm) should be exceeded. The workplace should be monitored and if the level exceeds any of the PELs or action levels, refer to 29 CFR 1910.1017. 16.
