UPPER FIRE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA Water spray, carbon dioxide or dry chemical. special fire-fighting PROCEDURES Water spray or fog may be helpful in reducing flame intensity and absorbing irritating fumes. Shut off current in electrical equipment or wiring. NFPAunusual fire and explosion hazards lists ignition temperature of 752F for layer and 1220'F for PVC dust cloud. Produces combustile gases above 570F. Fire conditions produce hydrogen chloride, requiring protective equipment._______ ____ Thla inlormatlon I* tumlyhaa without warranty, rapraaantation. indueamant or licanaa cl any kina, a.caot that it ia accurate to tha boat ol Tannaeo Polymer* knowiedoe or TEN 2862 SECTION V HEALTH HAZARD DATA threshold limit value See Section II EFFECTS OR OVEREXPOSURE None expected in normal handling. (Processing at high temperatures produces fumes irritating to eyes and respiratory tract, requiring local exhaust). EMERGENCY ANO FIRST AIO PROCEDURES Ordinary measures of personal hygiene. (See Section IX). (In case of exposure in hot processing move to fresh air, flush eyes with water). SECTION VI REACTIVITY DATA stability UNSTABLE stable conditions to avoid Normal processing temperature, about 350^, causes slow darkening and decomposition. X Higher heat increases rate and evolution of HC1. INCOMPATIBILITY (M*t*nal, to *votd) None in ordinary use. Soluble in certain ketones and orqanic solvents. HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS Thermal decomposition produces HC1 and CO and CO? (above 570F). HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION MAY OCCUR WILL NOT OCCUR coNomoNS to avoid X None in ordinary use. SECTION VII SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED Sweep up and remove to disposal container. WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD Bury in an approved landfill. SECTION VIII SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION RESPIRATORY protection (Spacily lypal None required in ordinary handling. See Section IX. ventilation -LOCAL EXHAUST For not processing.

SECTION IX SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS precautions to se taken in handung ano storing OSHA Standard 1910.1017 (. 93q) on vinyl chloride limits exposure to lppm (8 hr av.) and requires monitoring and other precautions in storage, (handling and use of polyvinyl chloride, including labeling "Contains Vinyl Chloride - Vinyl Chloride is a Cancer-Suspect Agent", excepting "fabricated products" not subject to mass melting", as defined. New, Tow monomer content PVC compounds simplify operation below the OSHA O.Sqpm action level and compliance, assigning normal conditions 'O and ventilation in a.processor's work area. Further developments on resins and regulations are pending.____________________ _____________________ 1 00 <N r DATE -WIO /OA NAME AND TITLE p> r nArni mu nrf'Mi *Ttnir
