Personal Precautions: Use gloves, goggles or safety glasses, impervious clothing, dust mask or respirator rated for particulates
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spilled material from entering drains, surface water, or soil
Cleanup Methods: Sweep up or vacuum spilled powder, avoid creating airborne dust, transfer to labeled container for disposal, clean area with damp cloth or water spray after initial removal
Containment: Use barriers to contain spills in large quantities; collect dry where possible
Disposal: Dispose of collected material in accordance with local regulations for nonhazardous industrial waste
Additional Measures: Report significant releases to authorities based on local requirements
Handling: Open containers using local exhaust ventilation, avoid generating dust, ground and bond equipment when moving powders to prevent static accumulation, keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame
Hygiene Practices: Wash hands before eating, drinking, or smoking; do not eat or drink in polymer handling areas; clean up small spills promptly
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated rooms away from incompatible materials (acidic compounds, oxidizers), keep containers tightly closed
Incompatibilities: Avoid contact with strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents
Packaging: Use original or approved containers; keep sealed to avoid moisture uptake and contamination
Stability Considerations: Keep away from direct sunlight and excessive heat
Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limit set for polymer; monitor for vinyl chloride vapor (TLV: 1 ppm TWA, ACGIH)
Ventilation: Use local exhaust or process enclosure to control dust and vapor levels
Respiratory Protection: Employ particulate filtering respirators for dusty conditions; for thermal processing, use gas cartridges suitable for acid gases
Skin Protection: Wear chemical-resistant gloves (e.g., nitrile or neoprene), long sleeves, and protective clothing
