INGESTION: May be harmful if swallowed. INHALATION: Harmful if inhaled. Can cause burns to nose, throat and lungs. Can cause central nervous system depression. SKIN: Causes chemical burns. EYES: Causes chemical burns. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS INHALATION: Do not breathe gas or mist. Use with adequate ventilation. SKIN: Do not get on skin. EYES: Do not get in eyes. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices. These practices Include avoiding unnecessary exposure and removal of the material from eyes, skin and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES INGESTION: If accidently swallowed, dilute by drinking large quantities of water. Immediately contact poison control center or hospital emergency room for any other additional treatment directions. INHALATION: If Inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician. SKIN CONTACT: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing. Call a physician. Wash clothing before reuse. EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Eyelids should be held apart during irrigation to Insure water contact with READ NEXT PAGE i 1 BORC 1061 DESCRIPTION: VINYL CHLORIDE MONOMER PRODUCT TYPE: VINYL CHLORIDE MONOMER APPLICATION: USE IN MANUFACTURE OF POLYVINYL CHLORIDE PAGE 3 CUR ISS 12/09/93 EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES entire surface of eyes and lids. Call a physician. FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE GAS. Keep vapor away from heat, sparks, flame and other ignition sources including, but not limited to, pilot lights, heaters, cigarettes, electric motors and static discharge. Vapor is heavier than air and may settle in low places or travel outward to a source of Ignition and flashback. In case of fire, allow gas to burn If flow cannot be shut off immediately. Apply water from a safe distance to cool container and protect surrounding area. REACTIVITY DATA Normally stable, but may become unstable at high temperatures or may react with water. CONTROL MEASURES If airborne contaminants are generated when the material Is heated or handled, sufficient ventilation in volume and air flow patterns should be provided to keep air contaminant concentration levels below acceptable criteria. ENGINEERING CONTROLS: The following exposure control techniques may be used to effectively minimize employee exposure: local exhaust ventilation, enclosed system design, process isolation and remote control in combination with appropriate use of personal protective equipment and prudent work practices. These techniques may not necessarily address all issues pertaining to your operations. We, therefore, recommend that you consult with experts of your choice to determine whether or not your programs are adequate. PERSONAL PROTECTION INFORMATION Wear full protective suit & boots if contact is likely. Where air contaminants can exceed acceptable criteria, use NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection equipment. Respirators should be selected based on the form and concentration of contaminants in air in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 or other applicable standards or guidelines. Use goggles and face shield If contact Is likely. Wear impervious gloves as required to prevent skin contact.
