Self-Ignition Temperature -- The lowest initial temperature of air passing around the specimen at which, in absence of an ignition source, ignition occurs of itself, as indicated by an explosion, flame or sustained glow. Extinguishing Media: ABC dry chemical and halons Special Firefighting Procedures: Firefighters should wear a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCB A) under positive pressure and full protective gear to prevent all body contact. Stopping the flow of gas rather than extinguishing the fire is usually the best procedure to fol low when escaping gas is burning. It may be dangerous to extinguish the flame and allow the gas to continue to flow as an explosive mixture may be formed with air which, if ignited, may cause far greater damage than if the original fire had been permitted to bum. Extinguishing the flame by dry chemical may be desirable where necessary to permit immediate access to shut off the supply. Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along the ground or may be moved by ventilation and ignited by flame, sparks, heaters or other ignition sources at distant locations. Vapors can form flammable mixtures in air. SECTION V-Reactivity Stability: Stable (hazardous peroxide can form by oxidation with atmospheric oxygen when stored for prolonged periods in the presence of a variety of contaminants. Hazardous Polymerization: Will occur. (Polymerizes in the presence of air, sunlight or heat.) SHINTECH-000658 Vinyl Chloride Monomer Page 4 Hazardous Decomposition Products: Hydrogen chloride gas, carbon monoxide, carbon diox ide, and possibly trace amounts of phosgene and other gases. Incompatibility (Materials to Avoidl: Avoid contact with strong oxidizers. Can cause violent polymerization increasing risks of fire and explosion. Metals such as copper* aluminum and certain catalytic impurities can initiate a violent polymerization. SECTION VI - Health Hazard Data Threshold Limit Value: 5 ppm Permissible Exposure Limit: 1 ppm Primary Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin and eye contact Effects of Overexposure: Overexposure to vinyl chloride vapors can produce dizziness, light headedness, euphoria, nervousness, drowsiness, headache, blurred vision, impaired hearing and confusion. Extremely high concentrations (>70,000 ppm) may cause unconsciousness and death. Vapor is moderately irritating to the eyes, nose and throat. Liquid vinyl chloride can produce immediate pain and severe irritation and may cause permanent damage to the eyes. Frostbite may cause permanent damage to the skin. Prolonged exposure to high concentrations may cause degeneration of the ends of the finger bones. Vinyl chloride causes angiosarcoma of the liver, a rare form of liver cancer in humans. Transplacental carcinogenicity has been observed in some long term studies with animals. Vi nyl chloride does not accumulate in the body and is readily eliminated. Emergency and First Aid Procedures: Inhalation (of process emissions!: Remove affected individual to fresh air while insuring the rescuers utilize appropriate protective equipment. If breathing has ceased, administer artificial respiration. If no pulse is found administer cardio-pulmonary resuscitation immediately. Avoid mouth to mouth contact. Obtain medical attention immediately.. Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with lukewarm water for at least 20 minutes while lift ing upper and lower eyelids. Seek medical attention immediately. Skin Contact: Immediately flush contaminated area with lukewarm water for at least 20 min utes. Carefully cut around clothing that sticks to damaged skin and remove rest of garment. Obtain immediate medical attention. Ingestion: Not an anticipated hazard. SECTION vn - Spill and Leak Procedure Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled: Restrict access to area until completion of clean-up. Insure clean-up is conducted by trained personnel. Wear appropriate personal pro tection and ventilate area. Extinguish or remove all ignition sources and remove or isolate SHINTECH-000659 Vinyl Chloride Monomer Page 5 flammable and combustible materials. Notify governmental authorities as required. Do not touch spilled material. Prevent material from entering sewers or confined spaces. Stop or re duce leak if safe to do so. Keep materials which can bum away from spilled material. Permit small spills to evaporate. For large spills, dike or flush to ground and allow it to evaporate. Remove contaminated soil and dispose of as hazardous waste. Waste disposal method: Dispose of waste in accordance with all federal, state and local regula tions. If burned, incinerator should be equipped with a hydrogen chloride scrubber. Contami nated soil and containers must be managed as a hazardous waste (U043). vmSECTION - special Protection Information Ventilation: Effective exhaust ventilation should always be provided to draw fumes or vapors away from workers to prevent routine inhalation. Ventilation should be adequate to maintain the ambient workplace atmosphere below the legislated levels listed in Section n. Respiratory Protection: Utilize a NIOSH/MSHA-approved respirator under the provisions of 30 GFR Part 11. Read 29 CFR 1910.1017(g)4 for complete details for selection of respirators for vinyl chloride: Unknown atmospheric concentration of vinyl chloride or above 3,600 ppm open-circuit, self-contained breathing apparatus, pressure demand type with full face piece is required; not over 1,000 ppm - Type C supplied air respirator, continuous flow type, with full or half face piece (helmet or hood) is required. Protective Equipment: Wear impervious gloves, coveralls, boots and/or other resistent protec tive clothing. Wear chemical safety goggles and face shield. Have a safety shower/eye-wash station readily available in the immediate work area. An impervious full-body encapsulating suit and respiratory protection may be required in some operations. (Remove contaminated clothing promptly and keep contaminated clothing in a closed container. Discard or launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Inform laundry personnel of contaminants hazards.)
