SECTION IV -pire and Explosion Hazard Data
HldLfiBflt: -78f,C(-108F) Lower Explosivf Umit (LEL); 3.6% Upper Expire? 1 riT"iT fTIF1'>- 33% Self-Ignition Temperature: 472C(882F)
Notes: Flash-Ignition Temperature -- The lowest initial temperature of air passing around the specimen at which sufficient combustible gas is evolved to be ignited by a small external pilot flame.
Self-Ignition Temperature - The lowest initial temperature of air passing around the : specimen at which, in absence of an ignition source, ignition occurs of itself, as indicated by an explosion, flame or sustained glow.
Extinguishing Hjedia: ABC dry chemical and haions
Special Fucfiphtinp Procedures: Firefighters should wear a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) under positive pressure and full protective gear to prevent all body contact.
Stopping the flotv of gas rather than extinguishing the fire is usually the best procedure to fol low when escaping gas is burning. It may be dangerous to extinguish the flame and allow the gas to continue to flow as an explosive mixture may be formed with air which, if ignited, may cause far greates damage than if the original fire had been permitted to bum. Extinguishing the flame by dry chemical may be desirable where necessary to permit immediate access to shut off
the supply.
ITmmial Fire arid
Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along the
ground or may ie moved by ventilation and ignited by flame, spades, heaters or other ignition
sources at distant locations. Vapors can form flammable mixtures in air.
SECTION V - Reactivity
Stability: Stablfc (hazardous peroxide can form by oxidation with atmospheric oxygen when stored for prolonged periods in the presence of a variety of contaminants. HazarHout Polvjieriration- Will occur. (Polymerizes in the presence of air, sunlight or beat.)

Hawitrinus Pec<jmDOsition Products: Hydrogen chloride gas, carbon monoxide, carbon diox ide, and possibly trace amounts of phosgene and other gases.
Incompatibility [Materials to Avoid): Avoid contact with strong oxidizers. Can cause violent polymerization increasing risks of fire and explosion. Metals such as copper, aluminum and certain catalytic impurities can initiate a violent polymerization.
SECTION VI
fa fl&ard Date
Threshold LimitlValiie: 5 ppm
Permissible Exposure Linde 1 ppm
Primary Routes i >f Exposure: Inhalation, skin and eye contact
Effects of Oven xposme: Overexposure to vinyl chloride vapors can produce dizziness, light headedness, eupft<toria, nervousness, drowsiness, headache, blurred vision, impaired hearing and confusion. Exitamely high concentrations (>70,000 ppm) may cause unconsciousness and death. Vapor is moderately irritating to the eyes, nose and throat Liquid vinyl chloride can produce immediate pain and severe irritation and may cause permanent damage to the eyes. Frostbite may c:suse-permanent damage to the skin. Prolonged exposure to high concentrations may cause deiget eranon o< f the ends of the finger bones.
Vinyl chloride c auses angiosarcoma of the liver, a rare form of liver cancer in humans. Vinyl chloride does nor accomnlate in the body and is readily eliminated.
Emergency and ffrst Aid Procedures:
Inhalation (nf Amoas emitrinnsV- Remove affected individual to fresh air while insuring the rescuers utilize]appropriate protective equipment If breathing has ceased, administer artificial respiration. If no pulse is found administer cardio-pulmonary resuscitation immediately. Avoid mouth uj mouth contact Obtain medical attention immediately..
Eve Contact: Immediately flush eyes with lukewarm water for at least 20 minutes while lift ing upper and jower eyelids. Seek medical attention immediately.
Sirin Contact: Immediately flush contaminated area with lukewarm water for at least 20 min
utes. Carefully cut around clothing that sticks to damaged skin and remove rest of garment
Obtain
medical attention.
Ingestion: No( an anticipated hazard.
SECTION vn Spin and Leak Procedure
Steps to be kyi in case material is released or spilled: Restrict access to area until completion of clean-up. Ins ire clean-up is conducted by trained personnel. Wear appropriate personal pro tection and ven date area. Extinguish or remove all ignition sources and remove or isolate flammable and < xxnbustible material* Notify governmental authorities as required. Do not

touch spilled mftwioi Prevent material from entering sewers or confined spaces. Stop or reduce leak if safi 10 do so. Keep material* which can bum away from spilled material. Permit small spills to qvaporate. For large spills, dike or flush to ground and allow it to evaporate, Remove conitangnatedisoil and dispose of as hazardous waste.
Dispose of waste in accordance with all federal, state and local regula tions. If burned incinerator should be equipped with a hydrogen chloride scrubber. Contami nated soil and containers must be managed as a hazardous waste (U043).
SECTION
Special Protection Information
Ventilations
away from the ambient
vt exhaust ventilation should always be provided to draw frnnes or vapors to prevent routine inhalation. Ventilation should be adequate to maintain lace atmosphere below the legislated levels listed in Section n.
Respiratory Protection: Utilize a NIOSH/MSHA-approved respirator under the provisions of 30 CFR Part llj Read 29 CFR 1910.1017(g)4 for complete details for selection of rcspintres far vinyl chloride: Unknown atmospheric concentration of vinyl chloride or above 3,600 ppm open-circuit, seif-contained breathing apparatus, pressure demand type with full face piece is
required; not oi er 1,000 ppm - Type C supplied air respirator, continuous flow type, with full or half face piec: (helmet or hood) is required.
Protective Kami ment: Wear impervious gloves, coveralls, boots and/or other insistent protec tive clothing. V ear chemical safety goggles and face shield. Have a safety shower/eye-wash station readily i vailable in the immediate work area. An impervious full-body encapsulating suit and respite: ory protection may be required in some operations. (Remove coniitfnimttrd clothing prompay and keep contaminated clothing in a closed container. Discard or launder contaminated clything before reuse. Inform laundry personnel of contaminants hazards.)
Do not smoke ok consumefood or beverages in the work area. Wash thoroughly after handling the product.
SECTION K -[Special Precautions
Material Handiijiy Handle under well-ventilated conditions. Keep product away from sparics, flames and othe' ignition sources. Sources of ignition, such as static discharge, should be addressed by the uterito prevent the ignition and sudden release of energy. Post "NO SMOKING OR OPEN FLA)dES" signs in die areas of use or storage. Bond and ground all containers. Labe! containers ai cording to OSHA standards (29 CFR 1910.1017(1).. All wiring and equipment in storage or use areas must be suitable far Class L Group D.
Storage: Store )n a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, out of direct sunlight and away from incom patible material! Store away from heat and ignition sources. Store in suitable, labeled contain ers. Containers (should be tightly closed when not in use and when empty protect from damage. Emptied containers may contain residual liquid or vapors which may ignite or explode. Use non-sparking ventilation systems and electrical equipment
