EYE: If liquid contacts eye, evaporation may cause frostbite-type injury due to rapid cooling. SKIN: If liquid contacts skin, evaporation may cause frost-bite type injury due to rapid cooling. Skin absorption is unlikely due to physical properties. INGESTION: Ingestion is unlikely due to physical state. INHALATION: A single brief (minutes) inhalation exposure to easily attainable concentrations may cause serious adverse effects, even death. Signs and symptoms of excessive exposure (Continued on page 2 , over) (R) Indicates a Trademark of The Dow Chemical Company Printed on Recycled and Recyclable Paper DO A 041970 OONFTDFNTTAl MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Product: VINYL CHLORIDE MONOMER Product Code: 91575 Effective Date: 06/18/96 Date Printed: 01/30/98 PAGE: 2 MSD: OOO66L may be anesthetic or narcotic effects. Signs and symptoms of excessive exposure may be central nervous system effects. SYSTEMIC (OTHER TARGET ORGAN) EFFECTS: Excessive exposure may cause lung, liver and kidney effects. Repeated exposures have been reported to produce changes in bone, skin, and vascular system, particularly in the extremities of the body. CANCER INFORMATION: Has been shown to cause cancer in humans. Has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals. For hazard communication purposes under OSHA Standard 29 CFR Part 1910.1200, this chemical is listed as a carcinogen by NTP, I ARC, and OSHA. TERATOLOGY (BIRTH DEFECTS): Birth defects are unlikely. Exposures having no effect on the mother should have no effect on the fetus. Did not cause birth defects in animals; other effects were seen in the fetus only at doses which caused toxic effects to the mother. REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS: No relevant information found. 4. FIRST AID EYE: Flush eyes with plenty of water. SKIN: No adverse effects anticipated by this route of exposure except for frostbite. INGESTION: No adverse effects anticipated by this route of exposure. INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by qualified personnel. Call a physician or transport to a medical facility. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: The following disease states have been observed in industrial workers exposed to vinyl chloride vapors: acroosteolysis, scleroderma, and Raynaud's phenomenon. No specific antidote. Supportive care. Treatment based on judgment of the physician in response to reactions of the patient. 5.

Hazardous combustion products may include and not limited to: hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide. OTHER FLAMMABILITY INFORMATION: Container may vent and/or rupture due to fire. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel a long distance and accumulate in low lying areas. Ignition and/or flash back may occur. EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Do not extinguish. Once fuel flow has stopped, small fires may be extinguished with water fog or fine spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam. Stop flow of fuel and allow fire to burn out. FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Keep people away. Isolate fire area and deny unnecessary entry. Use water spray to cool fire exposed containers and fire affected zone until fire is out and danger of reignition has passed. Immediately withdraw all personnel from area in case of rising sound from venting safety device or discoloration of the container. Stop flow of fuel and allow fire to burn out. Do not extinguish. If flames are accidentally extinguished explosive reignition may occur. Eliminate ignition sources. For unignited vapor cloud, use water spray to knock down and control dispersion of vapors. For vapor suppression use fine water spray. Stay upwind. Keep out of low areas where gases (fumes) can accumulate. PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE FIGHTERS: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, pants, boots, and gloves). If protective equipment is not available or not used, fight fire from a protected location or safe distance. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES (See Section 15 for Regulatory Information) (Continued on page 4 , over) (R) Indicates a Trademark of The Dow Chemical Company DO A 041970 130'-, CONFTDFNTTAl, MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Product: VINYL CHLORIDE MONOMER Product Code: 91575 Effective Date: 06/18/96 Date Printed: 01/30/98 PAGE: 4 MSD: OOO66L PROTECT PEOPLE: For large spills, warn public of downwind explosion hazard. Eliminate all sources of ignition in vicinity of spill or released vapor to avoid fire or explosion. Check area with explosion meter before reentering area. Ground and bond all containers and handling equipment. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Clear non-emergency personnel from area. Vapor explosion hazard, keep out of sewers. PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT: Material may float on water and any run-off may create an explosion or fire hazard ignited. Eliminate all sources of ignition in vicinity of spill or released vapor to avoid fire or explosion. CLEANUP: If possible, stop the source of leak or release. Knock down and dilute vapors With water fog or spray. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE HANDLING: Never use air pressure for transferring product. Use only with adequate ventilation. No smoking, open flames or sources of ignition in handling and storage area. STORAGE: Store away from imcompatible materials. See Reactivity & Stability Section. Refer to Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, Section 8, of the MSDS. No smoking or open flame in handling and storage area. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Provide general and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne levels below the exposure guidelines. Lethal concentrations may exist in areas with poor venti1 ation. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT EYE/FACE PROTECTION: For handling the gas, wear safety glasses. When contact with the liquid (condensed gas) is possible, wear chemical goggles. SKIN PROTECTION: Use a cloth or leather glove for protection from liquid contact of the skin that may cause frostbite due to rapid cooling. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Atmospheric levels should be maintained (Continued on page 5) (R) Indicates a Trademark of The Dow Chemical Company DO A 041973 COIMFIDFNTXAL MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Product: VINYL CHLORIDE MONOMER Product Code: 91575 Effective Date: 06/18/9& Date Printed: 01/30/98 PAGE: 5 MSD: 000664 below the exposure guideline.
