Conoco fCM Vinyl Chloride Monomer ATTACH: JENT A l .ripdon: Conoco Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM) is a high purity, clear, colorless, sweet-jmelting gas at ambient temperature and pressures. It polymerizes readily in the presence of air, sunlight, oxidizing agents, and free-radical catalysts, to form a hard, white resin-polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Properties Specification Typical Vinyl Chloride, Wt. % 99.9 min 99.99 Water, ppm 200 max 30 Methyl Chloride, ppm 100 max 30 Acetylene, ppm 2 max .2 1, 3-Butadiene, ppm 13 max 3.7 Acetaldehyde, ppm 0.7 max <,7 Non-Volatiles, ppm 100 max nil Iron, ppm 0.3 max .05 Acidity (as HCI), ppm 2 max nil Freezing Point, C -153.7 Boiling Point, C -13.8 Flash Point (COC), C -78 Specific Gravity, Liquid (20C/20C) 0.9121 Density. (20C), Lb./Gal. 7.6 Solubility (H20 in VCM), Wt. % 0.11 Explosive Limits (Volume in Air), Vol. % Upper Limit Lower Limit 22.0 4.0 Availability: Uninhibited or inhibited grades of Conoco Vinyl Chloride are shipped as a liquid in pressurized tank cars from Westlake, Louisiana. Product can be made available in bulk vessels, for barge or vessel lift ings. Contact Conoco Chemicals Company for information regarding water shipment. Storage and Transfer: Store Conoco Vinyl Chloride in steel tanks, either under refrigeration or under pressure at atmos pheric temperatures. Do not use vessels or fittings made of copper or aluminum or their alloys. Blanket storage tanks with inert gas, and never allow air to enter the tanks. In the presence of water, VCM accelerates the corrosion of iron or steel. Safe Handling: When inhaled at high concentrations, vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) acts as an anesthetic. Prolonged exposure to excessive amounts of VCM may cause cancer. Vinyl chloride is a highly flammable gas and can easily ignite at most normal atmospheric conditions. The handling, use and exposure to VCM in the workplace is strictly regulated by OSHA. Refer to 29 CFR, Pan 1910.1017 for specific requirements.
