Box 629 Plaquemine, LA 70765-0629 EMERGENCY TELEPHONE NO.: (504) 685-2500 or (800) 424-9300 SECTION II - HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS COMPONENT % (WT OR VOL) ACGIH TLV (UNITS) ACGIH STEL (UNITS) OSHA (UNITS) Vinyl chloride with inhibitor* ca 100 5 ppm 5 ppm/15M Cl 1 ppm/8H TWA *An inhibitor, such as phenol at 25-100 ppm, is added to prevent polymerization in the cylinder. SECTION III - PHYSICAL PROPERTIES APPEARANCE AND ODOR: A colorless gas with an ethereal odor. It liquifies readily under increased pressure or at reduced temperatures. MOLECULAR WEIGHT: 62.50 BOILING POINT (DEGREES FAHRENHEIT): 7 MELTING POINT (DEGREES FAHRENHEIT): -255.46 (freezing point) Page 1 of 8 UGL- 004274 VAPOR PRESSURE (MM. OF MERCURY): 2580 @ 68*F SPECIFIC GRAVITY (WATER = 1): 0.908 VAPOR DENSITY (AIR = 1): 2.2 PERCENT VOLATILE (BY WEIGHT): ca 100 pH: N/A SOLUBILITY IN WATER: negligible at 77F EVAPORATION RATE (BUTYL ACETATE = 1): N/A VINYL CHLORIDE MONOMER SECTION IV - FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA FLASH POINT: -108*F (COC) FIRE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Carbon dioxide and dry chemical can be used to smother small fires. Water can be used to cool fire-exposed containers but it is ineffective in putting out fire. Protect men shutting off gas with a heavy water spray. FLAMMABLE LIMITS (PERCENT BY VOLUME): LOWER UPPER 4% 22% SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES & EQUIPMENT: Fight advanced fire from protected area as heated VCM cylinders can rupture. Firefighters must use self-contained breathing equipment. UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: This heavier-than-air gas can flow along surfaces, reach a distant ignition source, and flash back. Toxic and corrosive gases are formed when VCM burns. Explosion hazard is severe, in the form of vapor when exposed to heat or flame. Large VCM fires are practically inextinguishable. SECTION V - REACTIVITY DATA STABILITY: UNSTABLE ______ STABLE X CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Heat; exposure to air (VCM readily forms explosive mixtures in air.) Page 2 of 8 GGC 004: J VINYL CHLORIDE MONOMER INCOMPATABILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID): Copper; aluminum; certain catalytic impurities; atmospheric oxygen (VCM can form peroxide by catalyzed oxidation with.) HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Highly toxic fumes of phosgene; carbon monoxide; hydrogen chloride HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: WILL OCCUR X WILL NOT OCCUR _____ CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Heat; catalyzing reaction; contact with peroxides. SECTION VI - HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: Acute exposure to excessive levels of VCM can cause headache, dizziness, lung irritation and narcosis. High concentrations can cause helplessness and unconsciousness on short exposure. Contact of liquid with the skin causes rapid evaporation and may cause frostbite, and skin irritation and burns can result from traces of phenol stabilizer. Repeated skin contact can also produce the condition of acroosteolysis characterized by degeneration of the small bones in the hand. Chronic exposure to high levels has been associated with a liver cancer (angiosarcoma) in humans and a liver fibrosis which may precede the cancer. Carcinogenic effects also occur in animal testing (i.e., rat, inhalation LClq of 250 ppm, 4-hr/day, for 260 days produced cancer). See SECTION VII. PROBABLE ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: Inhalation, skin EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES INGESTION: N/A INHALATION: Remove victim to fresh air. Restore breathing if required. Get prompt medical attention, especially if narcosis has occurred. EYE CONTACT: Flush eyes immediately and thoroughly for at least 15 minutes, then get medical attention promptly. SKIN CONTACT: Wash affected area immediately with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing promptly. (Note: Rescuer requires proper respirator equipment to avoid becoming a victim!) Page 3 of 8 Ij0C 00427s VINYL CHLORIDE MONOMER SECTION VII - TOXICITY DATA ORAL: LD50 (Rat): 500 mg/kg DERMAL: N/A. Contact with the liquid will result in frostbite. INHALATION: LCLo (Gpg): 20 ppm/30M CARCINOGENICITY: VCM is a human carcinogen. Its target organs are the liver, brain, lung and haemo-lymphopoietic system. (See Second Annual Report on Carcinogens. 1981, NTP, pages 238-239 for further data). Also, meets RTECS criteria as carcinogenic. OTHER PERTINENT DATA: N/A SECTION VIII - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Neoprene EYE PROTECTION: Chemical goggles RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (SPECIFY TYPE): For non-routine and emergency situations: organic cartridge-type respirator is suitable up to 10 ppm; canister-type gas mask (full facepiece) can be used up to 25 ppm; air-supplied or self-contained type respirators are required above 25 ppm. OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Protective clothing as needed VENTILATION LOCAL EXHAUST: To meet TWA requirements MECHANICAL (GENERAL): All ventilation to be explossionproof. SPECIAL: N/A OTHER: N/A Page 4 of 8 GGc 00427? VINYL CHLORIDE MONOMER SECTION IX - SPILL. LEAK. AND DISPOSAL PROCEDURES STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Remove ignition sources. Evacuate workers. Provide maximum ventilation (explosion-proof). Stop leaking; remove leaking cylinders. Hose down area with water after leaking is stopped and liquid if any has evaporated. A written plan to handle emergency situations must be prepared in advance. Personnel involved in handling emergency situations must use protective r.othing and equipment to prevent breathing of, or contact with VCM. WASTE DISPOSAL METHODS: Can be burned in a high temperature incinerator with a scrubber to remove HC1 formed. Follow federal, state, and local regulations. Excessive release of VCM to the atmosphere can violate EPA regulations. CLEAN WATER ACT REQUIREMENTS: Listed under Section 307 as not eligible for waiver from Best Available Technology (BAT) Economically Achievable effluent limitations. RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND RECOVERY ACT (RCRA) REQUIREMENTS: Assigned a Hazardous Waste Number of U0A3. Listed under Section 3001, Toxic Chemical Wastes, which states that VCM is a toxic waste when discarded. If a total of less than 1000 kg of VCM is generated within a calendar month, it is not subject to regulation under 3001 or to the notification requirements of 3010. SECTION X - REGULATORY INFORMATION FDA: USDA: CPSC: TSCA: DOT Approved for use in film wrap under prior sanction provided that FDA-specified quality assurance tests are met. (See ASTM Standards D 1243-66 and D 3030-72.) Regulated under 21 CFR 178.3790 as semirigid and rigid vinyl chloride plastic. Information unknown at time of publication.
