'Section II and Table lit NOTE: Vinyl chloride (VCM) is an OSHA regulated material (REFER TO OSHA 1910.1017 FOR COMPLETE DETAILS). Current OSHA regulations require that no employee may be exposed to VCM concentrations greater that 1.0 ppm averaged over any eight hour period or 5.0 ppm averaged over any period not exceeding 15 minutes. All facilities where PVC is processed or fabricated (with heat sufficient to cause mass melting) shall be monitored to determine concentration of ambient VCM in the work place atmoshpere. iSection V | !

ABC dry powder. Protein type air foams. CAUTION: Carbon dioxide may be ineffective due to a lack of cooling capacity Section IV Special Fire Fighting Procedures Wear self-contained breathing apparatus to prevent inhalation of combustion gases Section IV Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazard >-- PVC resin and cube compounds do not represent a known explosion hazard. Section IV PVC powder compound, especially flexible powder compounds, may have increased dust explosion potential. Control or eliminate likely ignition sources. Prevent accumulation of potentially explosive dust concentrations. Ventilate well. | SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA i I Threshold Limit Value None established Effects of Overexposure Processing vapors may produce acute health effects in some individuals. The effects relate primarily to eye, nose and throat irritation. Indivuduals with bronchial asthma and other types of chronic obstructive respiratory diseases may develop bronchspasm if exposure is prolonged. Emergency and First Aid Procedures If irritation persists, remove affected individual from the area. Call a physician. Provide protection before re-entry. If over exposure occurs, leave the area. 2631,5004 BFG50642 W SECTION VI - REACTIVITY DATA i Stability Stable Incompatability (Materials to avoid) In processing equipment, avoid contact of PVC resin or compound with acetal or acetal copolymers or with amine containing materials. At processing conditions these materials are mutually destructive and involve rapid decomposition. Section VI Hazardous Decomposition Products CO, CO2, HC1, and (in small amounts) aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons.
