As a Tetraethyl Lead Scavenger: to scavenge deposits of lead compounds. As a solvent: for paint stripper formulations, for low molecular weight polymers of vinyl acetate which, when used in a solution form are valuable as aohesives and for impregnating paper and textiles, for oils, fats, gums, resins and a wide variety of other materials; for textile cleaning; for degreasing of metals; as a constituent of rubber cements and adhesives based on nitrile and poiysulfide rubbers. A mixture of 80 parts by volume of ethylene dichloride with 20 parts of ethanol is an active solvent for ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate butyrate, and most grades of cellulose acetate. As a Fumigant: ethylene dichloride can be used as a 3:1 mixture with carbon tetrachloride (which reduces its flammability) for the fumigation of gram, upholstery, carpets, etc. (OVER) Conoco Chemicals Oivbion Continental Oil Company 5 Greenway Plaza East, P.O.

In ail caSbg of over exposur^^o ethylene dicfttoride, remove the patient\nto fresh air; keep hmVquiet and comforable and CALL TV^E DOCTOR AT ONCE. Storage CONOCO ethylene dichloride may be stored in mild-steel tanks and drums without risk of corrosion or deterioration. However, in the presence of free water hydrolysis occurs, which is slow at normal temperatures but is accelerated by heat and alkalis. Care should therefore be taken to store ethylene dichloride away from heat and possible water contamination. Availability: CONOCO ethylene dichloride is available in tank truck, tank car and drum quantities From Westlake, Louisiana.

Storage and Handling Store CONOCO vinyl chloride monomer in steel tanks, either under refrigeration or under pressure at atmospheric temperatures. Do not use vessels or fittings made of copper or aluminum or their alloys. Blanket your tanks with inert gas or vinyl chloride vapor. Never ailow air to enter the tanks. In the presence of water, vinyl chloride accelerates corrosion of iron or steel. Availability Uninhibited or inhibited grades of CONOCO vinyl chloride shipped as liquid in pressurized tank cars from Westlake, Lousiana.

Hazardous Materials Regulations, Tariff No. 25, or latest revision. Labelling: Tank car containers must conform to D.O.T. regulations and be placarded under compressed gas label (red label for flammable gases) and Dangerous placard for flammable gases. Empty containers should be indicated by an "Empty" label over the old labels/placards. Freight Classification: Motor vehicles must conform to D.O.T. regulations and be marked on both sides and at the front and rear with letters at least 4" high, with words "Flammable Gas" or "Flammable Compressed Gas." In addition, the name "Vinyl Chloride" must be displayed in letters at least 2" high. The words "Flammable Gas" must be displayed on motor vehicles transporting 1,000 lbs or more gross weight Empty motor vehicles shall be indicated by the same means above. Each container must also be labeled "Cancer Suspect Agent" to comply with OSHA regulations. Vinyl Chloride Monomer -- Compressed Gas; Flammabie,Gas. Flammability: Corrosion: Stability: Page 2 of 3 3*27-78 Extremely. Noncorrosive at normal atmospheric temperatures when dry; the presence of water and/or acid accelerates corrosion of iron or steel. Polymerizes slowly in presence of air, sunlight, and oxygen; polymerizes readily in presence of peroxides; generates considerable heat during polymerization. CCR 00000 252 3 Thomas G_.
