Less than 5%. Types include tin, lead, zinc, cadmium, barium, lead carbonate, basic lead sulfate. Section V and Table 1 i Section II 3) Monomeric, polymeric or mixed ester plasticizer generally between 20% 50% in flexible compound. Section II 26316002 BFG50647 4) Pigments containing lead, chromium, raercadmiums, iron oxides or other organics or inorganics. ;Section II and jTable III i 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 ppra 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. [Section V > i SECTION III - PHYSICAL DATA Specific Gravity (H2O - 1.0) Resin: 1.40 Compound: See Product Data Sheet Solubility in Water Slight Particle Size Resin: See Table II, Bulletin G-62 or Product ^Data Sheet Compound: Cubes measuring approximately ''3/16-inch per side; or powder. Appearance and Odor Resin: White powder, practically odorless or bland \ r*olorodor Compound: Pigmented or unpigmented cubical -granules or powder, slight odor. SECTION IV - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA Flash Ignition Self-Ignition (ASTM D-1929) 735F. (ASTM D-1929) 850F. jSection IV i1 26316003 11 i1 BpG50648 Extinguishing Media ZZJL 4- Water. ABC drviApowder. Protein type air foams. Carbon dioxide may be ineffective dueto 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 icLjt. tr Control or eliminate likely ignition sources. Prevent accumulation of potentially explosive dust concentrations. Ventilate well. , SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA 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. Individuals with bronchial asthma and other types of chronic obstructive respiratory diseases ^nay 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. _AyL 009TC92l BFG50649 SECTION VI - REACTIVITY DATA 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. Hazardous Decomposition Products CO, C02 HC1, and (in small amounts) arom and aliphatic hydrocarbons. Hazardous Polymerization Will not occur SECTION VII - SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES Steps to be taken if material is released or spilled PVC material may be swept, shoveled, or vaccumed into containers for reuse or disposal. Waste Disposal Method Sanitary landfill or incineration in accordance with Federal, state or local regulations. HC1 is generated when PVC is burned. SECTION VIII ~ SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION Respiratory Protection - Dust If conditions exist where m8SEE dust is possible, wear NIOSH approved respiratory protection device. w BFG50650 Special Respiratory Protection Avoid inhalation of fumes from any operation involving heat sufficient to result in polymer breakdown. Maintain efficient ventilation or wear NIOSH approved air-supplied respirator to prevent exposure to fumes potentially irritating to the respiratory tract or eyes. Section VIII Ventilation Exhaust ventilation designed to pull vapors away' from workers should be installed at all operations capable of creating dust, fumes or vapors. Such operations may include mixing operations, the hot end and feed area of processing equipment, cut-off equipment, regrind equipment, thermoforming equipment, heat sealing equipment, and soldering and curing operations. Section IV, Section VIII Other Protection 1) Rubber gloves should be worn when cleaning condensate from exhaust hoods and other surfaces to prevent skin contact in possible irritation. Section VIII i[ . <3* 2) Safety glasses are -'nrinrtTr a1 vr rl [In i nil A/ IX SECTION yir- - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS 1) Open, handle and use Geon^ vinyls under well ventilated conditions. 2) Avoid breathing fumes generated during routine processing or abnormal situations (such as equipment malfunction or plug-up) or during typical "breakdown" and "clean-up" of equipment. Inhalation of fumes may result in irritation of the respiratory tract, eyes and skin resulting in coughing, pain and inflammation. 3) Do not store or consume food in processing areas. Do not use processing equipment to heat food. Was^ hands prior to eatings prevent ingestion of umnknowa ^contaminants. ^ BFG50651 O^JUU'U- c 9009IC9Z j2oa. 1-jU CX<L* 4) Cool regrind before placing in containers for reuse.
