Issue Date: January, 1981 KPGoodrich G-62 Supplement MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Geon Vinyl Resins, Compounds WE RECOMMEND POSTING THIS SUF The data in this bulletin is applicable to all Geon vinyl and to all grades of rigid, flexible and Geon cellular resins -- general purpose type, Super EP type, disper- vinyl compounds. This bulletin is not applicable to sion resins, blending resins, powder coating resins -- Geon latexes nor to Geon CPVC materials. SECTION I Manufacturer's Name The BFGoodrich Company, Chemical Group Address 6100 Oak Tree Boulevard, Cleveland, OH 44131 Telephone Number (216) 447-6000 Trademark Geon Vinyls Chemical Name Poly (vinyl chloride), PVC Formula (CH2 CHCL)n Chemical Family Vinyl Chloride Homopolymer (With the following exceptions): Geon 135: Copolymer of vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate Geon 137: Carboxy-modified vinyl chloride polymer Geon 138: Copolymer of vinyl chloride/vinyl ester SECTION II PVC Resin HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS PVC Compound For additional information read BFGoodrich Bulletin G-62, Second Edition (Revised) 1) Residual vinyl chloride monomer. 1) Residual vinyl chloride monomer. Section V and Table 1 2) Heavy metal stabilizers. Section II 3) Monomeric, polymeric or mixed ester plasticizer in flexible compound. Section II 4) Pigments based on lead, chromium, mercadmiums, iron oxides or other organics or inorganics. Section II and Table III NOTE: Vinyl chloride (VCM) is an OSHA regulated material (REFER TO OSHA Section V 1910.1017 FOR COMPLETE DETAILS). Current OSHA regulations require that no employee may be exposed to VCM concentrations greater than 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 workplace atmosphere. SECTION III PHYSICAL DATA (Typical data, nbt specifications) Specific Gravity (HiO = 1.0). Resin: 1.40. Compound: See Product Data Sheet. Solubility in Water -- Slight Particle Size Resin: Refer to Bulletin G-62. Table II Compound: Cubes measuring approximately 3/16-inch per side; or powder of variable particle size due to compounding ingredients. Appearance and Odor Resin: White powder, practically odorless or bland odor. Compound: Pigmented or unpigmented cubical granules or powder, slight odor. SECTION IV FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA .Flash Ignition (ASTM D-1929) 735F. Self-Ignition (ASTM D-1929) 850F. Section IV Extinguishing Media Section IV Water. ABC dry powder. Protein type air foams. Carbon dioxide may be ineffective due to a lack of cooling capacity which may result in reignition. Special Fire Fighting Procedures Section IV Wear self-contained breathing apparatus to prevent inhalation of combustion gases. Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazard Section IV PVC powder compound, especially plasticized powder compounds, may have dust explosion potential due to compounding ingredients. Control or eliminate likely ignition sources. Prevent accumulation of potentially explosive dust concentra tions. Ventilate well. N THE EMPLOYEE BULLETIN BOARD SECTION V HEALTH AND HAZARD DATA Threshold Limit Value -- None established. Effects of Overexposure Processing vapors may produce acute health effects in some individuals. The ef fects relate primarily to eye, nose and throat irritation. Individuals 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. Pro vide protection before re-entry. If overexposure occurs, leave the area. SECTION VI REACTIVITY DATA Stability -- Stable. Incompatibility (Materials to avoid) Section VI 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 Section IV CO, COs, HCI, and (in small amounts) aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons. Geon 135 will also contribute minor amounts of acetic acid as gas and smoke. Hazardous Polymerization -- Will not occur. SECTION VII SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES Steps to be taken if material is released or spilled Sweep, shovel, or vacuum into containers for reuse or disposal. Section VII Waste Disposal Method Sanitary landfill or incineration in accordance with Federal, state or local regula tions. Not hazardous for waste disposal per Federal regulations (40 CFR 261). SECTION VIII SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION Respiratory Protection -- Dust If conditions exist where dust is possible, wear NIOSH approved respirator. Section VIII Ventilation Section IV, Section VIII Exhaust ventilation designed to pull vapors away from workers should be installed at all operations capable of creating dust, fumes or vapors. Other Protection Section IX 1) Rubber gloves should be worn when cleaning condensate from exhaust hoods and other surfaces to prevent skin contact. 2) Safety glasses. 25142076 SECTION IX SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS 1) Open, handle and use Geon vinyls under well-ventilated conditions. Section IV, V 2) Avoid breathing fumes. 3) Do not store or consume food in processing areas. Do not use processing equip ment to heat food. Wash hands prior to eating, smoking or using toilet facilities. 4) Cool regrind before placing in containers to prevent decomposition. 5) Keep PVC resin and compound off the floor to prevent slipping. SECTION X TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION BFG38294 For transportation purposes, Geon vinyl resins and compounds are not defined or designated as a hazardous material by the U.S. Department of Transportation under Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations, 1979 edition. UtPGoodrich Chemical Group The BFGoodrich Company Chemical Group 6100 Oak Tree Boulevard Cleveland, Ohio 44131 216-447-6000 Sales Offices CLEVELAND AREA 6100 Oak Tree Boulevard CLEVELAND, OH 44131 216-447-6000 ATLANTA AREA Suite S3S 2700 Cumberland Parkway N.W.
