LLOYD OCC 11207 NOTE WHEN DISCUSSING THESE RAW MATERIALS, WE WILL BE PUTTING MATERIALS IN GROUPS WHICH HAVE THE SAME OR VERY SIMILIAR TOXIC EFFECTS. KEEP IN MIND THAT THEY ARE GROUPED FOR CONVENIENCE OF PRESENTATION AND TRAINING AND NOT FOR SPECIFIC SCIENTIFIC ACCURACY. WHEN QUESTIONS ARISE. REFER TO THE MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET FOR THE PRODUCT. SPECIFIC HAZARD INFORMATION ON RAW MATERIALS SECTION I - MONOMERS AND SOLVENTS ITEMS TO BE COVERED IN THIS SECTION ARE THE MONOMERS AND SOLVENTS USED IN THE CHEMICAL PLANT. MOMOMERS ARE THOSE WITH CODE NUMBERS OF FROM CD 001 TO CD 059 SOLVENTS ARE THOSE WITH CODE NUMBERS OF FROM CD 500 TO CD 600 (SHOW TRANSPARENCY TP-1) MONOMERS________________________ ______________ SOLVENTS CD CD 001 007 067 073 075 094 095 097 098 VINYL CHLORIDE *C VINYL ACETATE TRIALLYL ISOCYANURATE (TAIO ISO-BUTYLENE HYDROXYPROPYL ACRYLATE HYDROGEN BUTYL MALEATE DIBUTYL MALEATE a-METHYL STYRENE TRIFLUOROCHLOROETHYLEND (TFCE) 502 503 504 506 507 508 517 521 598 601 606 METHYL ETHYL KETONE ACETONE DIMETHYL FORMAMIDE STODDARD SOLVENT CYCLOHEXANONE XYLENE TETRAHYDROFURAN 7D-24-MG3 CARNEA OIL TOLUENE METHANOL NOTE : *C = HUMAN CARCINOGEN * = SPECIF IC HEALTH HAZARD WE WILL COVER THESE TOGETHER SINCE THE MONOMERS AND THE SOLVENTS HAVE A LOT IN COMMON AS FOR AS THEIR TOXIC PROPERTIES ARE CONCERNED. FIRST OFF, WE ALL KNOW BY PRIOR TRAINING THAT VINYL CHLORIDE (VCM) IS A CARCINOGEN AND THAT CANCER OF THE LIVER CAN RESULT IN LONG TERM EXPOSURE TO VCM. THE PERMISSIBLE EXPOSIRE LIMIT OF VCM IS 1 PPM TIME WEIGHTED OVER 8 HOURS WITH NO CONTACT WITH THE LIQUID VCM. SINCE THERE IS A SPECIFIC TRAINING PROGRAM FOR VCM. WE WILL NOT COVER IT FURTHER HERE. VINYL ACETATE (CD 007), METHYL ETHYL KETONE CCD 502), ACETONE (CD 503), CYCLOHENANONE (CD 507), AND TOLUENE (CD 601) HAVE SIMILAR TOXIC PROPERTIES IN THAT THE LIQUIDS CAN CAUSE IRRITATION TO THE EYE'S WHICH MAY RESULT IN TRANSIENT CORNEAL DAMAGE, SUCH AS BLURRING OF VISION. THEY MAY CAUSE IRRITATION AND DEFATTING OF THE SKIN. IF EXPOSED TO LEVELS ABOVE THE STANDARD, THE EYES AND UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT MAY BE IRRITATED. VERY HIGH CONCENTRATIONS CAN CAUSE DIZZINESS AND .OSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS. THEY HAVE A RELATIVELY LOW ORDER OF ORAL TOXICITY, BUT MASSIVE INTAKES CAN EFFECT THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. ISO-BUTYLENE (CD 073) AND TRIFLUOROCHLOROETHYLENE (TFCE) (CD 098) ARE SUPPLIED AS GASES. BOTH ARE MILDLY IRRITATING TO THE EYES AND SKIN AND OCC 11208 WILL TEND TO DEFAT THE SKIN. THEY ARE MILDLY IRRITATING TO THE MUCOUS MEMBRANES IN THE UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT. SINCE THEY ARE GASES, IF A LEAK DEVELOPS WHILE THE LIQUID IS UNDER PRESSURE, THE GAS BLOWING THRU THE LEAK WOULD BE VERY COLD AND COULD CAUSE FROSTBITE. BOTH CAN BE CONSIDERED AS SIMPLE ASPHYZIANTS, IN THAT THEY CAN DISPLACE THE OXYGEN IN THE AIR IN CONFINED SPACES. HIGH EXPOSURES CAN CAUSE DIZZINESS, AND DROWSINESS. IN ADDITION, VERY HIGH EXPOSURES TO CD 098 CAN CAUSE NAUSEA, VOMITING, POTENTIAL KIDNEY DAMAGE, WITH EXTREMELY HIGH LEVELS DEATH FROM ASPHYXIA CLACK OF SUFFICIENT OXYGEN TO SUPPORT LIFE). XYLENE CCD 508), TETRAHYDROFURAN CCD 517), METHYL ISOBUTYL KETONE CCD 505) AND STODDARD SOLVENT CCD 506) ARE SLIGHTLY IRRITATING TO THE SKIN WITH POSSIBLE IRRITATION FROM DEFATTING. INHALATION OF HIGH LEVELS OF XYLENE AND STODDARD SOLVENT FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME CAN LEAD FROM MILD DEPRESSION, HEADACHES, NAUSEA, DIZZINESS TO LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS. INHALATION OF HIGH LEVELS OF METHYL IOSBUTYL KETONE CAN LEAD TO IRRITATION OF THE RESPIRATORY TRACT, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, UNCONSCIOUSNESS. SIMILAR PROBLEMS ARE TRUE FOR METHANOL CCD 606 METHYL ALCOHOL) EXCEPT THAT THE EXTREMELY HIGH EXPOSURES CAUSE GIDDINESS INSTEAD OF DEPRESSION AND IT IS VERY TOXIC IF TAKEN BY MOUTH. METHALOL WILL CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE OPTIC NERVE LEADING TO BLINDNESS, GASTROINTESTINAL IRRATION. NAUSEA, VOMITING, DIARRHEA, NARCOSIS AND DEATH IF ENOUGH IN INGESTED. HYDROXYPROPYL ACRYLATE CCD 075) AND a-METHYL STYRENE CCD 097)^ARE EXTREMELY OR SEVERLY IRRITATING TO THE EYES FROM EXPOSURE TO THE LIQUIDS OR CONCENTRATED VAPORS. HYDROXYPROPYL ACRYLATE CAN CAUSE PERMANENT IMPAREMENT OF VISION AND BLINDNESS,-IN HIGH EXPOSURES. BOTH MATERIALS CAN CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION TO THE SKIN WITH RASHES AND BLISTERING POSSIBLE. BOTH ARE IRRITATING TO THE RESPIRATORY TRACT. HIGH LEVELS OF HYDROXYPROPYL ACRYLATE CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH THE KIDNEY AND LIVER WITH HIGH ENOUGH EXPOSURE CAUSING DEATH AND IS MODERATELY TOXIC BY MOUTH. LITTLE COULD BE FOUND REGARDING HYDROGEN BUTYL MALEATE CCD 094) EXCEPT THAT WITH TEST ANIMALS THE MATERIAL WAS QUITE IRRITATING SEVERLY IRRITATING TO RABBITS EYES, MILDLY IRRITATING TO THE SKIN OF RABBITS, WITH NO INFORMATION ON INHALATION OR INGESTION PROBLEMS. DIBUTYL MALEATE CCD 095) IS MODERATELY IRRITATING THE EYES AND SKIN AND IF THE PRODUCT IS HEATED THE IRRITATION WOULD BE GREATER TO THE EYES, NOSE, AND THROAT AND UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT. INGESTION OF DIBUTYL MALEATE CAN CAUSE NAUSEA, VOMITING, AND DIARRHEA. LAST ON OUR LIST IS DIMETHYL FORMAMIDE CCD 504). THIS MATERIAL IS IRRITATING TO THE EYES AND SKIN AND CAN BE HARMFUL TO THE LIVER, KIDNEYS AND BONE MARROW IF SUFFICIENT ABSORPTION OCCURS. DEMETHYL FORMAMIDE CAN BE HARMFUL TO THESE SAME ORGANS IF INHALED IN SUFFICIENT QUANTITIES. OTHER PROBLEMS OF INHALATION INCLUDE HEADACHE, WEAKNESS, AND ABDOMINAL DISCOMFORT. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED THAT DIMETHYL FORMAMIDE IS A POSSIBLE EMBRYO TOXIX CEFFECTING THE UNBORN FETUS' IN HUMANS SINCE THIS HAS OCCURRED WITH TEST ANIMALS. WE KNOW OF CO EVIDENCE OF THIS OCCURRING IN HUMANS. ONE THING THAT ALL OF THESE MATERIALS SPARE IN COMMEN IS THAT THEY ARE ALL FLAMMABLE. CD 001, 073, AND 098 AR:_. EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE CHMIS RATE OF 4). CD 007, 502, 503. 505, 508, 517, 601 AND 606 ARE VERY FLAMMABLE CHMIS RATE OF 3). CD 097, 504, 506, AND 507 ARE MODERATELY FLAMMABLE CHMIS RATE OF 2). CD 607, 075, 094 AND 095 ARE SLIGHTLY FLAMMABLE CHMIS RATE OF 1). OCC 11209
