c ^ Issue Date: 9 January, 1980 c G-62 Supplement Geon Vinyl Resins, Compounds loz The data in this bulletin is applica~.\ all Geon* vinyl resins -- general purpose type, Super EP type, disper sion resins, blending resins, powder coating resins -- and to all grades Jd, flexible and Geon* cellular vinyl compounds. This bulletin is not applicable to Geon latexes nor to Geon CPVC materials. SECTION 1 Manufacturer's Name The BFGoodrich Company, Chemical Group Address 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 I! j HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS PVC Resin PVC Compound For additional information read BFGoodrich Bulletin G-62. Second Edition i) Residual vinyl chloride monomer. 1) 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 where PVC is processed or fabricated (with heat sufficient to cause mass melting) shall be monitored to determine concentration of ambient VCM in the workplace atmosphere. Section V and Table 1 Section II Section II Section II and Table III Section V SECTION III PHYSICAL DATA 4 Specific Gravity (H,0 = 1.0). Resin: 1.40. Compound: See Product Data Sheet. Solubility In Water-- Slight Particle Si2e Resin: Refer to Bulletin G-62. Compound: Cubes measuring approximately 3/16-inch per side; or powder of variable particle size due to compounding ingredients. Appearance and Odor Resin: White powder, practically odorless or bland odor. Compound: Pigmented or unpigmented cubical granules or powder, slight odor. Table It SECTION IV FIRE AMD EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA Flash Ignition (ASTM D-1929) 735*F. Self-Ignition (ASTM D-1929) fi50'F. Section IV Extinguishing Media Section IV 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 Section IV Wear self-contained breathing apparatus to prevent inhalation of combustion gases. Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazard Section IV PVC powder compound, especially 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. rv fx i i4) fO Or u> O o N r ( SECTION V HEKi-TH and hazard data 1 Threshold Limit Value -- None established. Eflects ot 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, incompatability (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 r* CO, CO,, HCI, and (in small amounts) aromatic and'aliphatic hydrocarbons. Geon 135 and 130x24 will also contribute minor amounts of acetic acid as gas and smoke. Hazardous Polymerization -- Will not occur. Section VI Section IV SECTION VII SPILL CR 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 Oisposal Method Sanitary landfill or incineration in accordance with Federal, state or local regulations. Section VII SECTION vm SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION r Respiratory Protection -- Dust If conditions exist where dust is possible, wear NIOSH approved respiratory protec tion device. Ventilation - 1 ` ; . L ; . ^ 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 BFG06278 20763003 1) Open, handle and use Geon 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. Chemical Group The BFGoodrich Company Chemical Group 6100 Oak Tree Boulevard Cleveland.
