!' Issue Date: January, 1980 UIFGcodrich 46^ 062 Supplement MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Geon Vinyl Resins, Compounds The data in this bulletin is applicable to ail Geon* vinyl resins -- general purpose type, Super EP type, disper sion resins, blending resins, powder coating resins -- and to ail grades of rigid, flexible and Geon cellular vinyl compounds. This bulletin is not applicable to Geon latexes nor to Geon* CPVC materials. SECTION I Manufacturer's Name The BFGoodrich Company, Chemical Group Atijress 6100 Oak Tree Boulevard, Cleveland, OH 44131 Telephone Number (216) 524-0200 Trademark Geon Vinyls Chemical Name Poly (vinyl chloride), PVC Formula (CH2 CHCL)n Chemical Family Vinyl Chloride Homopolymer (With the following exceptions): Geon' 135,130x24: Copolymer of vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate Geon* 130x17: Carboxy-modified vinyl chloride polymer | SECTION II PVC Resin HAZARDOUS INGREDIENT PVC Compound For additional in crnaixn read 3/Gcodrich Juii-jtin j-52, jec'jiid Edition i) Residual vinyl chloride monomer. i) Residual vinyl chloride monomer. 2) Heavy metal stabilizers. 3) Monomeric, polymeric or mixed ester plasticizer in flexible compound. 4) Pigments based on lead, chromium, mercadmiums, iron oxides or other organics or inorganics. NOTE Vinyl chloride (VCM) is an OSHA regulated material (REFER TO OSHA 1910.1017 FOR COMPLETE DETAILS), Current OSHA regulations require that no employee may be exposed to VCM concentrations greater than 1.0 ppm averaged over any eight hour period or 5.0 ppm averaged over any period not exceeding 15 minutes. All facilities vyhere PVC is processed or fabricated (with heat sufficient to cause mass melting) shall be monitored to determine concentration of ambient VCM in the workplace atrposphere. St.ciicn V and Tuble ! Section il Section II Section II and Table III Section V | SECTION 111 PHYSICAL DATA Specific Gravity (H,0 = 1.0). Resin: 1.40. C mpound: See Product Data Sheet. Solubility In Water -- Slight Particle Size Resin: Refer to Bulletin G-62. C mpound: Cubes measuring approximately 3/lfrinch per side; or powder of variable particle size due to compounding ingredients. Appearance and Odor Resin; Wfilfe powder, practically odorless or bland odor. Compound: Pigmented or unpigmented cubical granules or powder, slight odor. Table II | SECTION IV xFIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA Flash Ignition (ASTM D-1929) 735*F. Seif-Ignition (ASTM D-1929) 850*F. Extinguishing Media Water. ABC dry powder. Protein type air foams. Carbon dioxide may be ineffective due to a lack of cooling capacity which may result in reignition. Special Fire Fighting Procedures Wear self-contained breathing apparatus to prevent inhalation of combustion gases. Unusual Fire and Explosl n Hazard PVC powder compound, specially plasticized powder compounds, may have dust explosion potential due to compounding ingredients. Control or eliminate likely igni tion sources. Prevent accumulation of potentially explosive dust concentrations. Ven tilate well. St .tion ;V Section IV Section IV Section IV VC5739 SECTION V HEALTH AND HAZARD DATA Threshold Limit Value -- None established. Effects of Overexposure Processing vapors may produce acute health effects in some individuals. The effects relate primarily to eye, nose and throat irritation. Individuals with bronchial asthma and other types of chronic obstructive respiratory diseases may develop bronchspasm if exposure is prolonged. Emergency and First Aid Procedures If irritation persists, remove affected individual from the area. Call a physician. Pro vide protection before re-entry. If overexposure occurs, leave the area. SECTION VI REACTIVITY DATA Stability -- Stable. Incompatabllity (Materials to avoid) In processing equipment, avoid contact of PVC resin or compound with acetal or acetal copolymers or with amine containing materials. At processing conditions these materials are mutually destructive and involve rapid decomposition. Hazardous Decomposition Products CO, COj, HCI, and (in small amounts) aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons. Geon-1 135 and 130x24 will also contribute minor amounts of acetic acid as gas and smoke. Hazardous Polymerization -- Will not occur. Section VI "action iV SECTION VII"| SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES Steps to be taken if material is released or spilled PVC material may be swept, shoveled, or vacuumed into containers for reuse or disposal. Waste Disposal Method Sanitary landfill orlncineration in accordance with Federal, state or local regulations. Section VII SECTION VIII SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION Respiratory Protection -- Dust If conditions exist where dust is possible, wear NIOSH approved respiratory protec tion device. Ventilation Exhaust ventilation designed to pull vapors away from workers should be installed at all operations capable of creating dust, fumes or vapors. Other Protection 1) Rubber gloves should be worn when cleaning condensate from exhaust hoods and other surfaces to prevent skin contact. 2) Safety glasses. Section VIII Section IV, Section VIII Section IX SECTION IX SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS N 1) Open, handle and use Geon1* vinyls under well-ventilated conditions. 2) Avoid breathing fumes. 3) Do not store or consume food in processing areas. Do not use proces sing equipment to heat food. Wash hands prior to eating. This will help prevent ingestion of unknown contaminants. 4) Cool regrind before placing in containers to prevent decomposition. 5) Prevent accumulations of PVC resins or compounds in walkways and and other areas where people walk to prevent slippery footing. Section IV. V SECTION X TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION For transportation purposes, Geon* vinyl resins and compounds are not defined or designated as a hazardous material by the U.S. Department of Transportation under Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations, 1977 edition.
