ABDOO104721 VISTA Compounded PVC is an inert material in its normal usage. All the components listed below are encapsulated in the PVC matrix. See Section 5 for hazard information. Typical compositions are listed below. Polyvinyl chloride polymer 45-60% Inert Fillers 0-40% CAC03, talc, carbon black, TT02, clay. Heat Stabilizer 3-10% Organometallic compounds of tin, lead, barium-cadmium, or calcium zinc. Plasticizer 0-60% High molecular weight esters. Colorant 0-5% Organic and inorganic colorants (can containlead, chromium, and cadmium). Flame Retardant 0-15% Antimony Trioxide, Aluminum Trihydrate. * PVC Compound contains less than or equal to 1.0 ppm residual vinyl chloride monomer. Vinyl chloride Is regulated as a carcinogen according to OSHA and listed by NTP and IARC as a carcinogen. * Contains no chemicals subject to SARA 302 or 311/312 reporting. * Contains a maximum of 2% Antimony Compounds, 2% Barium Compounds, 2% Cadmium Compounds, 7% Chromium Compounds, and 5% Lead which are chemicals subject to SARA 313 reporting. 3.

REACTIVITY DATA CONDITIONS CONTRIBUTING TO INSTABILITY: Do not allow this product to come in contact with acetal or acetal copolymers within the extruder or molding machine. At processing conditions, the two materials are mutually destructive and involve rapid degradation of the products. Equipment should be purged with acrylic, ABS, polystyrene, or other purge compound to avoid even trace amounts of this product and acetals from coming in contact with each other. INCOMPATIBILITY: Acetal or acetal copolymers. HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Hydrogen chloride and other toxic fumes generated with combustion. CONDITIONS CONTRIBUTING TO HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Not applicable. 7. SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES In case of spill, sweep, scoop, or vacuum and remove. Dispose of only In accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. WASTE CLASSIFICATION: If discarded in its purchased form, this product Is not a RCRA hazardous waste. Re-evaluation of the product may be required by the user at the time of disposal, since the product uses, transformations, and mixtures may change the classification. 8. SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION VENTILATION RECOMMENDATIONS General ventilation for thermal processing and nuisance dust control. SPECIFIC PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: If dust Is produced during handling, an approved particulate filter respirator should be used. EYES: Chemical safety glasses or goggles. GLOVES: Necessary when handling hot or molten compound. OTHER CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT: As necessary when handling hot or molten compound. Page 3 of 4
