Ordinary measures of personal hygiene.
In case of exposure in hot processing move to fresh air, flush eyes with water.
SECTION VI REACTIVITY DATA

UNSTABLE STABLE
Normalconditions to avoid processing temperature, about 350* F
causes slow darkening and decomposition. Higher heat X increases rate and evolution of HC1.
INCOMPATIBILITY (MaMriaM to avoid)
None in ordinary use. Soluble in certain ketones and organic solvents.

exhaust, safety glasses and glvoes are recomnended.
SECTION IX SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
precautions to be taken in handungano storing OSHA Standard 1910.9 3q (-1017) requires monitoring and other precautions in storage, handling and yse of polyvinyl chloride, antf also labelim ^f PVC Contains Vinyl Chloride-Vinyl Chloride is a Cancer-Suspect Agent". New PVC IBsins with a low monomer content make it easier to operate below the OSHA action leve ^f O.Sppm in a processor's work area, assuming normal conditions and ventilation, simplifying compliance with some of the regulatory requirements. Further developments on resins and on regulations are pending.
