Note to Physician: Treat symptomatically and provide supportive care as needed
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, water spray for larger fires
Specific Hazards: Combustion generates toxic and irritating gases including hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide
Fire Fighter Protection: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing
Explosion Data: Dust clouds may form explosive mixtures with air; minimize dust accumulation and sources of ignition
Firefighting Procedures: Cool exposed containers with water, control runoff to prevent environmental contamination
Personal Precautions: Use personal protective equipment, prevent dust formation, ventilate spill area
Environmental Precautions: Avoid discharge into drains, water courses, soil; notify appropriate authorities for significant spills
Cleanup Methods: Sweep up and collect in suitable containers for reuse or disposal, avoid generating dust clouds, wash area with water after removal
Waste Disposal: Dispose in accordance with local, regional, and federal regulations, consider recycling if practical
Safe Handling Guidance: Use local exhaust or general ventilation to control dust, avoid inhalation and skin or eye contact, keep away from food, drink, and animal feed
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after handling and before breaks or meals, do not eat, drink, or smoke while working
Storage Requirements: Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight, heat, and incompatible materials
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, strong acids
Storage Conditions: Keep away from moisture and water to maintain product stability and flow properties
Occupational Exposure Limits: Total dust (OSHA PEL 15 mg/m³, ACGIH TLV 10 mg/m³)
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation or process enclosure to keep airborne dust below limits, monitor air concentrations as needed
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety glasses or goggles, dust mask (N95 or equivalent), impervious gloves for frequent contact, long sleeves
Respiratory Protection: NIOSH-approved respirators in situations where ventilation is inadequate
General Work Practices: Keep work areas clean, minimize open handling, avoid contact lenses when working with dust
Appearance: White to off-white powder or granules
Odor: Mild, characteristic
Melting Point: >120°C (decomposes before melting)
Boiling Point: Not applicable
Flash Point: Not applicable (combustible solid at elevated temperatures)
Solubility: Insoluble in water, soluble in some organic solvents
Bulk Density: 0.5-0.7 g/cm³
pH (in dispersion): Neutral to slightly acidic (5.5-7.5)
Vapor Pressure: Not applicable
Stability: Stable under normal conditions
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended handling and storage conditions
Hazardous Reactions: Reaction with strong acids, bases, oxidizers produces hazardous decomposition products
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, incompatible chemicals, strong UV exposure
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, low levels of acetaldehyde and acetic acid from vinyl acetate units
Polymerization: Product polymer does not undergo hazardous polymerization
Likely Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin, and eye contact
Acute Effects: Dust can cause irritation to respiratory tract, eyes, and skin
Chronic Effects: Prolonged or repeated exposure to dust may worsen pre-existing respiratory or skin conditions
Carcinogenicity: Contains trace residual vinyl chloride (known carcinogen), but exposure is below occupational limits for finished product
Mutagenicity: No evidence from polymer; vinyl chloride monomer is classified as mutagenic but not present at hazardous levels
Reproductive Toxicity: Not observed in animal studies involving terpolymer; monomer exposures well controlled in end-use
Other Risks: No additional toxicity identified under normal use
Environmental Fate: Expected to be persistent, not readily biodegradable, may accumulate in sediment
Aquatic Toxicity: Not acutely toxic to aquatic organisms based on available data; dust may affect clarity and sedimentation in water
Terrestrial Toxicity: Inert to most soil organisms; large scale spills should be avoided
Bioaccumulation: Polymer molecular weight above the threshold for bioaccumulation in organisms
Mobility in Soil: Low, due to insolubility in water
Other Adverse Effects: No specific hazards identified, but keep out of natural water sources to prevent physical impacts
Waste Generation: Recover or recycle material whenever possible, minimize waste
Disposal Methods: Landfill, incineration, or other methods in compliance with local, state, and federal regulations
