SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD When fighting fires in confined spaces, self-contained breathing apparatus should be worn. PVC evolves hydrogen chloride, carbon m n xid and other t xi gases when burn d. Exposur to combust! n products may be fatal and sh uld be avoided r MEV-32436<S Polyvinyl Chloride, FVC Compound FIRST AID EYES: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least IS minutes. Get medical attention immediately. Call a physician. SKIN: Flush with water to remove material from skin. INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. INGESTION: If swallowed, call a physician immediately. ONLY induce vomiting at the instruction of a physician. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. NATURE OF HAZARD Handling of PVC Compound may result in the generation of dust. The dust is non-toxic and classed as a nuisance dust. Exposure to the dust may cause physical irritation of contacted areas. Under burning condition, HCL gas will be produced. HCL gas is irritating to the upper respiratory tract Exposure to high concentrations of HCL gas may be fatal. PVC Compound may contain trace amounts of vinyl chloride monomer. Significant exposure t VCM should not occur. * Other processing vapors may produce irritation or acute health effects in some individuals. EXPOSURE LIMITS NUISANCE DUST: OSHA PEL of 15 mg/m3 TWA* for 8 hours. ACGIH TLV of 10 mg/m3 TWA for 8 hours * TWA * Time Weighted Average TOXICITY DATA SKIN CONTACT: A review of the pertinent literature did not reveal specific information for PVC. EYE CONTACT: A review of the pertinent literature did not reveal specific information for PVC. INHALATION: Rodents exposed by the dietary or inhalation route for 6 to 24 months hav shown no significant toxicological effects. INGESTION: See above. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS AVOID INHALATION OF COMBUSTION PRODUCTS. UEU-324347 Polyvinyl Chloride, PVC Compound 6. REACTIVITY DATA CONDITIONS CONTRIBUTING TO INSTABILITY: Not applicable. INCOMPATIBILITY: Not applicable. HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Hydrogen chloride and other toxic fumes generated with combustion. CONDITIONS CONTRIBUTING TO HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Not applicable. 7. SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES In case of spill, sweep, scoop, or vacuum and remove. Dispose of only in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. WASTE CLASSIFICATION: If discarded In its purchased form, this product la not a RCRA hazardous waste. Re-evaluation of the product may be required by the user st the tim of disposal, since the product uses, transformations, and mixtures may change the classification. 8. SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION VENTILATION RECOMMENDATIONS General ventilation for thermal processing and nuisance dust control. SPECIFIC PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: If dust Is produced during handling, an approved particulate filter respirator should be used. EYES: Safety glasses or goggles. GLOVES: Necessary when handling hot or molten compound. OTHER CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT: As necessary when handling hot or molten compound. VEV-324348 r Polyvinyl Chloride, PVC Compound 9.
