UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS; PVC will not continue to burn after igni tion without an external fire source. Burning liberates HC1 gas. * SECTION V - REACTIVITY DATA STABILITY: UNSTABLE ______ SJABLE X CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Temperature above 300* F - will decompose raw resin and liberate HC1. INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID): Polyvinyl chloride compounds should not come Into contact with Acetal or Acetal copolymers In elevated temper- ature processing equipment. The two materials are not compatible and will react in a violent decomposition when mixed under conditions of heat and .pressure.. . HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Low release of HC1 when heated above 300* F.

Itt main hazards, if any, would ba assoeiatad with unraactad vinyl ehlorida monomer (generally aztranaly small amounts) and othar additivas in tha plastic. Pneumoconiosis has baan described from inhalation of tha dust which should be avoided. Combustion products of Polyvinyl Chloride may result in an asthma syndrome. Check OSHA VCM Regulation 29 CFS, Title 29, Chapter mi. Part 1910. PROBABLE ROUTES OF EXPOSURE; Inhalation (of dust) EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES INGESTION: Practically inert. INHALATION: Remove victim to fresh air. Gat medical attention If necessary. EYE CONTACT: Flush with water. Do not tub. Sea physician if residual foreign body is suspected. SKIN CONTACT: N/A SECTION VII - TOXICITY DATA ORAL: N/A DERMAL: N/A INHALATION: Mouse LC50 - 140 mg/m3/lOM * CARCINOGENICITY: This material contains vinyl chloride which Is a cancer suspect agent. PVC meets RTECS criteria as an equivocal tumorlgenlc agent - tumors of the lungs, thorax or respiratory system; tumors of the skin (rat - oral). This material may contain trace amounts of vinyl chloride which is a cancer-suspect agent. Polyvinyl chloride is listed by IARC. as of 1983, as an indefinite suspect in humans. There is no polyvinyl chloride listing in NTP Fourth Annual Report on Carclnozens. 1985. OSHA. as of 1/30/86, does not list polyvinyl chloride per se but requires label ing that it may contain vinyl chloride monomer which is listed ss a cancer suspeet agent.
